No one wants World War 3 on a bus. The Battle of Gettysburg perhaps, but not nukes. Thanks for the comment Amy. No one wants World War 3 on a bus. The Battle of Gettysburg perhaps, but not nukes.

I could understand if someone was talking loudly on the phone and swearing, but considering the language you used in your blog thing I'm guessing you're not that kind of person. People can be really rude on buses these days, I get dirty looks for no reason at all, and i hate it when older people (this means people who are not actually old at all but think they are priviledged to everything) expect you to move so they can sit down! I have a heavy bag for college and a heavy folder and if i drop it World War 3 will commence on a packed bus, but I'm sure they want that to talk about how dreadful teenagers are these days. Rant over. haha Woo good job someone’s got the guts to stand up for themselves.

Going the other way I always get off at Old Denton/McCoy, though. What?

No he wasn't. Fuck him. And fuck his book, which was probably by John Grisham or Wilbur Smith or similar anyway.

I thought it was a three way coincidence. Then I saw his comment saying he was listening to it because of your comment anyway. So really, it had nothing to do with me. I should mind by own business in future. I'll just keep blogging, shall I? Colour-coded bus lines. My worst nightmare.

There are other numbers Cliff, I can also get the number 2 but I wasn't going to start a whole new debate on that subject. As for colours, Aberdeen is quite diverse, we even have a fuschia line.

You have to take the moral highground when someone a suited man in his fifties says "verbal diarrhoea". The bus steward was sitting behind him as well, and I don't want to get a ban, so I wanted to make clear that I was being polite and he was being abusive. I'd normally do nothing. In FACT, I was thinking of doing nothing and posting and ranting about it on here, but if I'm truly honest with myself, I though it might make a good post. Wendy - "Ground. Line."

I'm glad you argued with him and I would have liked to have told him that he was offending me by breathing the same air! I think I may have said 'fuck' too.
