Urine Trouble Now: Neighbourhood Duel Turns Hedges into Splash Zone in Epic Pee-off

By

Neighbourhood Duel

Driving a bus is always an adventure, but the other day? Well, let's just say it reached a new level of extraordinary.

Picture this: cruising down Station Road, the usual hustle and bustle of suburban serenity. Kids playing tag, a dog chasing its own tail, a squirrel doing whatever it is squirrels do to pass the time. You know, typical Tuesday stuff. Suddenly, something catches my eye—two neighbors, let's call them Larry and Barry, engaged in what can only be described as an impromptu urination Olympics right over their shared garden hedge.

Now, I've seen some things in my time behind the wheel, but this? This was next level. Larry, the sprightly senior, was giving it his all with a look of sheer determination on his face. Barry, the younger fellow, seemed to be more about the brute force approach. It was like watching the world's weirdest water fountain show.

For a moment, I considered pulling over, parking the bus, and turning this spectacle into a community event. Imagine it: "Ladies and gentlemen, place your bets! Who will reign supreme in this golden stream showdown?" My money was on Larry, the seasoned veteran. Sure, he might lack the pressure of youth, but he's got years of bladder control and precision. Barry? He's all gusto but no finesse.

The passengers on my bus were just as riveted. The old lady in the front seat had her knitting needles poised mid-stitch, her eyes glued to the action. The guy with the newspaper? Folded and forgotten. Even the teenager with the earbuds permanently attached to his head had one out, staring in disbelief.

I mean, who needs reality TV when you’ve got real life unfolding right outside your window?

So, there I was, seriously contemplating running a betting pool when Larry suddenly pulled out what can only be described as the grand finale. With a final, triumphant push, he sent his stream arching high over the hedge, clearing it with inches to spare. Barry, now visibly frustrated, tried to up his game, but it was too late. The crowd (okay, mostly just me and my bus full of astonished passengers) erupted in silent cheers. Well, mostly silent—someone in the back might have started a slow clap, but that could have just been the sound of my imagination applauding the sheer absurdity of it all.

As we drove off, leaving Larry to bask in his hard-earned victory and Barry to plot his comeback, I couldn’t help but think: it's moments like these that make driving a bus the best job in the world. So here’s to Larry, the undisputed champion of Station Road. May your bladder always be full, and your garden hedge forever be your scoreboard.

Spotting the Signs: How Bus Drivers Can Identify and Assist Vulnerable Passengers

By
Bus drivers often face tough choices when passengers are unable to pay. By observing behaviour, engaging in conversation, and assessing risk, drivers can make informed decisions that balance compassion with responsibility. This guide offers a clear framework for identifying vulnerability and responding appropriately. A Driver’s Guide to Recognising and Supporting Vulnerable Passengers 1. Observation: Assessing Behaviour and Context To determine if a would-be passenger is vulnerable, particularly in situations where they cannot pay the fare, the first step is observation. This involves carefully assessing the passenger’s behaviour, physical condition, and surroundings. It is essential to consider the passenger's age and appearance, emotional state, and overall hygiene. Observing the context, such as the time of day and location, can provide critical insights. For instance, if a young passenger appears distressed or dishevelled and is in an unfamiliar or potentially unsafe area, thes...

Trump’s Tariff Tantrum: And We’re the Ones Driving the Fallout

By
When the markets crash, I don’t need Bloomberg to tell me. I see it on the faces at the bus stop. Tariffs go up, and suddenly everyone’s carrying packed lunches and stress. The billionaires aren’t panicking, they’re shopping. Economic Repercussions You can always tell when something’s up in the economy. Before it hits the headlines, it hits the bus. The bloke who used to chat about upgrading his car? Now asking if we’ve got any driver vacancies. The regular who used to buy a coffee for the ride? Cold flask. Same coat. Worn face. The fare dodgers are sneakier. The pensioners quieter. Everyone’s just… a little more tired. And me? I’m still driving the same route, dodging potholes the council can’t afford to fix, thanks to budget cuts brought on by yet another economic shake-up dressed in red, white, and blue. This time, it’s Trump’s tariff circus again. Round two. "America First" they said. More like markets last, small businesses folded, and guess who’s still getting richer? Y...

A Taxi Driver on a Bus: The Midnight Meltdown You Won’t Believe

By
Ever wonder what happens when a seasoned taxi driver takes a seat on a city bus at night? Spoiler: It's not pretty. From fish suppers to bell abusers, this is the one ride even a veteran chauffeur can’t handle. When a Taxi Driver Meets the Bus: A Ride You Can’t Unsee If you’ve ever driven a city bus late at night, you’ll know there’s a cast of regulars who make the journey... interesting. You've got the usual crowd, shifty-eyed characters who never pay but somehow always have a meal in hand. Then there are the partiers, treating the bus like an afterparty on wheels. And of course, the lost souls, struggling to stay awake, only to wake up just after their stop. But last night? Last night was something special. I had a rare breed aboard: a taxi driver on his night off. A man who’s spent decades chauffeuring drunks, philosophers, and blokes passionately explaining the offside rule at 3 a.m., and yet, somehow, he thought bus driving would be a walk in the park. When he boarded, I c...
