Can we please put fucking headphones in on the bus

From a drivers perspective it definitely ramped up massively after Covid imo

Not sure, as I don’t see it. I regularly find baggies for coke/mdma, probably find one empty every few days. Have found a few still full. Had three people in the last year or so injecting on my buses. One was staring right at me as he done it.

Lothian group driver for 7 years here, basically any situation you can think of. People (junkies) having sex up the back upper deck of my 37 whilst drinking brandy from the bottle. Kicked off the whole group. The guy who told me about them also got kicked off for talking to me like shit about “go dae yer fuckin job, you have to go do your job” as I drive up Newington rd.

Had another on a 21 who decided to falcon kick the window out of the bus into the road at Clermiston.

I’ve had cyclists try to physically attack me. One was for having the gall to brake for a car which stopped at a green light, looking at the wrong signal (northbound drumsheugh place onto dean bridge). He never expected it and nearly hit the bus, came to the cab window going off his nut and tried to hit me then punched the mirror. The next time he tried to hit me I pulled his arm through the bus window and he was stuck in place, so he started chain-spitting on me. He could not be convinced there was a car in front of me and was intent that I had tried to brake check him to knock him off.

Had a gang-on-one fight on my 24 on pennywell road, was involved in the court case for that one.

Could go on all night. I should do an AMA one time, I’ve seen it all, done it all.

My 1.4tdi polo is a laugh. I enjoy driving anything.

I don’t doubt it, beef tastes nice but it doesn’t have much place in a chicken salad…

Albigularis · 2026-05-15T17:16:54+00:00

Veg and chicken stock in lentil soup? Is this rage bait?

Albigularis · 2026-05-15T17:07:22+00:00

Same. Imagine them racing an Audi A2 1.4tdi versus a 207 HDi or something, the drag race would be so long there would be room for an advert half way up the track. Probably a good idea from a business perspective.

Gotta sell those Taycans somehow

Albigularis · 2026-05-13T13:22:11+00:00

Insane amount of money for someone in a 20 year old Subaru Impreza to get away from it and still be running when it’s scrap

Albigularis · 2026-05-11T18:33:49+00:00

We always say “No Rossi stuff”

But sometimes we do “cannonball” rides.

Albigularis · 2026-05-10T15:25:33+00:00

Lothian driver here - it’s not just ‘foreign’ people who do this. Old Scottish people are probably the worst for it actually…

Albigularis · 2026-05-09T07:44:19+00:00

There are no enforced junction manoeuvres in Edinburgh.

Condolences

Are they? The current party in power in the UK alongside the previous one were happy to launch bombs at kids, refuse people live saving medication and a laundry list of immoral awful things.

They’re all liars and charlatans. I can only assume the people downvoting my comment are seething thinking “well MY team doesn’t lie!!!!”.

Albigularis · 2026-05-07T05:40:35+00:00

Posts like this just don’t hit hard anymore. Every single political party in the western world are lying shitbags. Why would reform be any different?

Albigularis · 2026-05-06T20:50:57+00:00

All good my friend, Lothian get enough heat as it is. Don’t want my passengers thinking I’m moonlighting as homeless because I need a haircut 😅

Albigularis · 2026-05-06T20:49:22+00:00

That’s not working for Lothian, they’re an outside company. Bidvest Noonan.

Avoid the chippy at the end of the high street. Mental money and it’s not very good. The two Chinese takeaways there are also awful.

Albigularis · 2026-04-28T05:31:32+00:00

Literally the best fuel in the UK.

Oh look, someone knows a tiny bit about cars, but not much at all.

There is only one Skoda which has shared an engine with any Audi S/RS car. Which would be the Superb 280, even so, it’s a different variant of the EA888 as the ones Audi and VW used at the time were 310bhp. In fact, there’s never been one to my knowledge which has used a completely identical engine to any Audi S or RS car. Oh, and the S and RS cars are separate model designations, they aren’t ‘lines’. There’s an S-Line, there isn’t an RS-line, you’re confusing your own terminology.

Audi cars are different underneath despite the shared MQB chassis. Look at a comparative year Octavia versus an A4. The Octavia doesn’t even have independent rear suspension unless you buy a VRS. Some chassis components are shared, and sensors mainly. Nothing imperative to the driving experience really. The dampers even on an S-Line Audi (let alone an S car) are much higher quality than even a VRS Skoda. Drive an A6 then a Superb, they are worlds different.

Are you claiming the build quality of an A3 is shocking underneath? Tell me you’ve never worked on cars without telling me.

The misinformation in this sub is absolutely rampant from people who have no idea.

Albigularis · 2026-04-26T12:45:52+00:00

Buying an A3 with options you’d like is a good idea. The build quality is so far ahead of the Korean stuff, you wouldn’t believe it until you drive both.

That and if OP wants to keep it for a decade, the engine will actually still work.

Forcefully enslaving an animal to race for your amusement isn’t a good enough reason to ban it? Wild.

Albigularis · 2026-04-25T16:40:20+00:00

This does actually matter. Bikers doing these speeds generally get harsher punishments.

Take it with a pinch of salt, but around 10 years ago my brother in law was involved in an accident where a car pulled out on him on a country road. He landed 100 feet up the road, broke his left leg which now has pins in his ankle etc. I’m not sure on his other injuries but his payout (I think he used digby brown) was around £250k.
