Metro off this morning between Benton and Shields..Gemmill will be happy.

 

Day off. :icon_lol:

 

Although I'm fucking livid cos with my car snowed in and no metros on, I could have legitimately pulled a can't-possibly-get-in day today. Instead I've used my last holiday of the year. :razz: (excluding the time I've got off over xmas obv)

 

Had to wait 45mins for the Metro but we were the first stop it was working so it was deed..although soon filled up. Despite the fact they said the Metro would be coming just delayed there was some fantastic bullshitting phonecalls to employers going on at the platform. 'There's going to be like no Metros ALL DAY they're saying..whole system is down and there are no buses anywhere..' Er..that's not what they've just said. Best one was some lass who was on the phone telling her bosses that there was no way she could get in while the Metro pulled into the station.. :lol:

:icon_lol: Holding her hand over the mouthpiece and frantically mouthing "Ssshhhh! Shut the fuck up!" to the bemused driver as he trundles past.

I was at the bus stop this morning and a lass was on the phone to her employee with the words "I've been waiting HOURS for a bus and none are coming". She gets the same bus as me everyday and failed to step on it once it arrived ... walking back the way she came. You've got to love the brass neck of people.

Loads of people rang in to try and pull the whole 'no metros' bollocks but as everyone else had rang in to say they were just going to be late and everyone gets basically the same metro, they couldn't get away with it. Full house in here today for the first time all week, though it did take until 11.20am.

To be honest, if I'd got to N Shields metro this morning to the news that the metros were fucked from Shields to Benton, and it was minus 10 degrees, and I couldn't get my car out the street, would I fuck be trying to find alternative ways of getting to work.

 

That's as close as it gets to being snowed-in, URBAN STYLE! Back home, fire on, get the old man out, and give him a damn good throttling.

On Monday a bloke who basically needs to walk 2 mins to Jesmond Metro then catch a bus that drops him off at the door rang up to say he wasn't coming in. He didn't say he couldn't in, he just said he wasn't :lol:

I suppose with it being Friday people are going to try it on. I actually think that a large part of it is panic, people kneejerk thinking they're going to somehow get trapped in work all weekend and never get home. That's the feeling I got from some this morning..not so much workshy fops..more panic-stricken fuckers.
