Bus on Crumbling Bridge

Crumbling bridge, or crumbling bus?

Where did the bridge go?  How did the bus get stuck there?

One unlikely explanation of the funny bus on the bridge

Darragh O' Malley was driving his lorry when he saw a bridge with a sign saying 10 foot max. headroom. He slowed down wondering if he could drive under it or not.

'A shure I'll give it a go,' he thought only to find that his lorry got stuck underneath it.

Darragh sat back in his seat, poured out a cup of tea and lit a cigarette. A policeman arrived a short time later and knocked on the cab door which Darragh immediately opened.

'What do you think you are doing?' demanded the policeman in a sharp tone.

'Sure I'm having me tea break,' replied Darragh.

'And what do you work at?' enquired the policeman.

'Agh shure, I deliver bridges,' smiled Darragh.

New Role for London Routemaster Bus

In June 2007 a British couple decided to incorporate public transit into their wedding, arriving to the ceremony by bus, and then taking the all the guests along to the reception. Beth Knowles eschewed centuries old tradition by arriving for her nuptials on an old-style London Routemaster bus.

The bride opted not for a chauffeur-drive car, and instead walked down the aisle of the red double-decker with her father Peter and six bridesmaids.

Beth tied the knot with husband, Alan Creedon, 30, at Heron House register office in Manchester city centre.

Can You Believe It?

A New York City bus driver stopped his bus because a passenger coughed. The Transit Authority acknowledges something strange happened on the X10 Express bus from Staten Island.

Wall Street banker Michael Goga told the New York Post that he cleared his throat and coughed. The driver told him he had to get off the bus, because he didn't want germs spread.

Omnibus --> Autobus
The first buses were called 'Omnibus', a word derived from the Latin meaning 'for all'.  To this day the Europeans still refer to this mode of transport as Autobus rather than plain bus.

Funny Charabanc
Will and I think that funniest bus ever invented was the charabanc, here is an old photo.

What's remarkable with the old charabancs is how many people they held for an excursion.  When they arrived at their destination, and all the passengers disembarked, the inevitable picnic made the feeding of the 5,000 seem like a slimmer's convention.

Chinese Bus Company Chooses Innovative Way To Slow Down Their Drivers

An omnibus company in China has launched a new “drive safely” campaign, by hanging big bowls of water next to their drivers.  The Longxiang Public Bus Company in Changsha, Hunan province, says drivers must drive gently to avoid spilling any water.  Bus drivers are expected to ensure the bowls are still full when they finish their shift Will and Guy have discovered.

The company warns drivers that CCTV footage will be studied to make sure they do not top up the bowls with water.

We have learned that, 'Passengers often complain that sudden braking and bad driving makes them really uncomfortable on the buses,' from a spokesman of the company.  'So by hanging bowls of water in the driver's cab will discourage them from making any jolting starts, sudden braking or bad turns.'

Will and Guy would like to see this idea introduced into the UK.

Motor Bus by: A.D. Godley

WHAT is this that roareth thus?
Can it be a Motor Bus?
Yes, the smell and hideous hum
Indicat Motorem Bum!
Implet in the Corn and High
Terror me Motoris Bi:
Bo Motori clamitabo
Ne Motore caedar a Bo--
Dative be or Ablative
So thou only let us live:
Whither shall thy victims flee?
Spare us, spare us, Motor Be!
Thus I sang; and still and still anigh
Came in hordes Motores Bi,
Et complebat omne forum
Copia Motorum Borum.
How shall wretches live like us
Cincti Bis Motoribus?
Domine, defende nos
Contra hos Motores Bos!

How to Catch a Number 54 Bus

A country boy called Norman was visiting London, England, for the first time. He wanted to see Big Ben and the Houses of Parliament. Unfortunately, he couldn't find it by himself, so he asked a police constable for directions.

'Excuse me, officer, how do I get to Parliament Square?'

The policeman replied, 'Wait here at this bus stop for the number 54 bus. It'll take you right there.' He thanked the officer and waited at the bus stop - see picture opposite.

Three hours later the police officer returned to the same area and, amazingly, Norman is still waiting at the same bus stop.

The police officer got out of his car and said, 'Excuse me, sir, but to get to Parliament Square, I said to wait here for the number 54 bus and that was three hours ago! Why are you still waiting?'

Norman replied disarmingly, 'Don't worry, constable, it won't be long now...The 45th bus just went by.'

Bus Bench - But Only If You Are Human!

Study the small print in the photo and you can just make out 'Report Non-Humans'. 

Kritiaan Johannes kindly writes to enlighten us by saying: 'It would appear that it is a promotional gimmick for the movie "DISTRICT 9" released in cinemas in 2009, in which alien refugees are stranded in Johannesburg when their mother-ship breaks down.'
