At least I didn't have to use the aforementioned to post this
Lol, speaking of pens and pencils (I prefer the former as well), I never actually received a 'pen license' from any of my teachers. I don't know what other people's experiences are, but at my primary school (Heathfield Primary) you had to prve to your teacher that you were neat enough to get a pen. I never did this (my handwriting is terrible), so never got a pen license. In year 6 I started using a pen anyway, so I like to think of myself as an illegal pen user. :lol: Black is my favorite pen colour, I don't really like blue.

Look at us all here, talking about pens. :roll:

Damn, that brings back memories... I remember back in years 4/5, I had to prove to the teacher I was neat enough in order to use a pen. And quite surprisingly, I was the first one to get my license haha! And speaking of pen colours, I can't stand writing in anything but blue or black, especially red! I gotta report you to the cops for using a pen without your license now :lol:

Found this 8 minute video of GM noise and laughed at the two sticks we used to have.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgqJ6jfCBw0

Also think this semi is pretty maneuverable https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qwmvBJV5Pg

The thing that made me feel very happy was the fact that I saw a Transperth female bus driver with the blonde hair tied in a bun. I felt that she was very friendly and determined to drive around Perth. I told her that once I get off the bus, I would shake my booty ass off near her! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Hmm, that certainly must be quite pleasing knowing your interest in that bus :D

For those who don't know, refer to Lt's signature to get an explanation behind 3269 and it's significance.

3269 is a 12.5. I'd beg to differ anyway, there are a few nice 14.5s (3311).

14.5m buses are great coming from a Sydney Sider. THe old Scania L113TRB STA 14.5m beasts love to hear their engines scream as they get up to speed and on motorways. Hillsbus Scania K280UB 14.5m buses just feel ugggh. Volvo B12 bendies squeak and whine far too much for my liking.

What made me extremely happy today is that 3269 has moved back to Aldgate. Reports of it doing 894s this morning, and then it did 2 865s and an 864F this evening. :D :mrgreen:

Bound to happen really, buses can't stay at Mt Barker permanently, due to lack of workshops at Mt Barker.

It has been in the workshops during its 2-3 months at Mt Barker (heard it over the bus radio). It obviously went straight from Mt Barker to workshops the back to Mt Barker). It seems to always come to Aldgate for school holidays (which suits me fine :wink: ).

It can be at Mount Barker one day, and Aldgate the next. There's no specific time in which it stays at either.

Vehicles are regularly rotated between Edinburgh North and Pooraka, as well as Lonsdale and Seaford. So who knows, it could have done an 863 on an Aldagte shift, and then an 838 on an MB shift.

Just a pity it doesn't work this way with Torrrens :evil:

*Finally* getting a photo of 3269. Even better, it was on an 865 :P

Oh and also getting 1790, 1925, 1831 and 3401. All in one day :shock:
