But retired bus driver David John Browne, of Newcastle, says he’s done with driving.
Yesterday he was given a 12-month suspended sentence and placed on a good behaviour bond, as well as being disqualified for a further two years, until 2153.

Greetings Woopert - fine sunny morning after all the inclement weather finished off with large hailstones Saturday afternoon. Brides gym opened again this morning after a week of no power and had friends over for Sunday dinner last night as they still have no power - Good result for your guys only Eastney and I picked it with correct score although you did take the draw and I thought our game with Spurs was a goodun' - off to pick up some new specs ATB

Evening Anti - hope things are back to normal now in your neck of the woods. Delighted to see that Bournemouth are virtually promoted now to the promised land. Don't know how they will survive though with a ground capacity of around 11,500 !! Eddie Howe is a talented young manager. Can't believe our season is almost ended, still we have the excitement of the selection process of a new manager to come
Have a good day !

Norfolk & Western 2156 is the strongest-pulling extant steam locomotive in the world, although it is not operational. It is a four-cylinder compound articulated (Mallet) locomotive with a 2-8-8-2 (Whyte notation) wheel arrangement. The Norfolk & Western Railway built it in 1942 at its Roanoke Shops in Roanoke, Virginia, and it was part of the Norfolk & Western's Y6a class. It was retired from regular rail service in July 1959, and today it is at the Museum of Transportation in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A. In 2014, the St. Louis Museum of Transportation announced that a 5-year lease has been agreed upon between them and the Virginia Museum of Transportation in Roanoke, Virginia. 2156 will be towed to Roanoke.

G'Day Anti - bit chilly today, funny old weather. Not online yesterday, as over to Southampton for the evening to attend a joint retirement do at the Grand Cafe (very posh) for two of my colleagues at our main North Island office. My turn next year, all being well . PFC have a total of 9 players out injured, so probably 5 or 6 youngsters in the first team squad tomorrow, which is good to see. They want the new manager in place by end of May, which is leaving it a bit late for player recruitment to begin, as well as existing players out of contract being resigned, if the new boss wants to retain them. Have a great time at the Blue Mountain.

G'day Woopert - Back from the mountains where couldn't see a thing misty rain and fog for two days - grub was good and the old girl enjoyed herself - one downside she was given a card with 300 bucks in it from my dad and she left it at the restaurant luckily she went back next day and it was behind the bar card and money - result. well no more games now except playoffs and the end of the Premier League - Swansea are getting a tad close for my liking but it will all be academic if Villa beat the Gooners in the cup - hope your weather isn't like ours ATB

Hey Anti - pleased you had a good time up in the mountains. We ended our season with a draw, and now the likely departure of Jed Wallace, by far our best player . Reading the papers, it looks like the rumour mongers are off again, with talk of Jay R , Nathaniel C, and Morgan S being on their way end of the season. Will it ever end ?
Nice morning today, but pouring rain this evening. Predictions of high winds tomorrow most of the day, so something to look forward to - not ! Have a good day.

Greetings Woopert - Fine sunny morning and 8 days more to come its payback after all that crap we have endured - Hurrah !!

NGC 2207 and IC 2163 are a pair of colliding spiral galaxies about 80 million light-years away in the constellation Canis Major. Both galaxies were discovered by John Herschel in 1835. So far, four supernovae have been observed in NGC 2207.

G'day Anti - Plagiarism ?! My version has a slightly different slant - Man. Utd & Liverpool fans replacing French & English . Slightly warmer over here today. General Election day today - God knows what the future holds, just hope our economy continues to steadily improve as it has for the last few years. Should know who is in power when we wake up in the morning . Have a good day.

Greetings Woopert - fine sunny Sunday morning - another chance to pull away from Spuds goes begging if we had won our last two we would be five clear but not to be. Kids up for mothers day and we had a gathering of 7 where six bottles of red and two bottles of sparkly went plus some beers. Methinks a quieter day today. Off to get a fry up and hide behind the Sunday paper pretending that I can actually concentrate on the contents whilst having a sly nap. ATB

Hey Anti - dear old Channon needs to show far more enthusiasm for this thread. He loves it really, judging by the regular number of visits that he makes . Nice day today. In the middle of decorating - hall/stairs/landing/lounge/kitchen/spare bedroom, so everything is upside down in our house ! Be glad when it is over to be honest. Looks like we have almost got our new manager at last. Onwards and upwards

Greetings Woopert - Well the Cookie Monster signed sealed and delivered lets hope he brings you all that you wish for - I'm making him sound like Santa - fine sunny Autumn day been to the pool been to coffee now going to start a Vindaloo which I will make today and tomorrow for a curry night on Saturday when it will have matured enough to cause considerable nether region discomfort. How's the back holding out with all the decorating? The EL is looking a tad shabby with Swansea up our rear end if we don't beat Villa on Saturday it looks like its over some would say a good thing as depending whether your in it or not seems to be a hinderance - Happy walking ATB.

Evening Anti - Very hopeful that Paul Cook will be a big success at Pompey - fingers crossed. Poured with rain today, and a tad chilly as well. Hope your Vindaloo goes well. Keep some to send over for SB3 to test his ring . Will admit to bringing in help re. the decorating ! Beginning to look nice now. Have a good day.
