• 23:13 Scout hut still mysteriously intact, much to disappointment of the Cubs, who wanted dynamite to 'experiment' with. Alas, boys, no chance ;) #
• 08:45 Interesting thing on "Today" about social pedagogy- sounds rather similar to old-fashioned Scouting done right, actually! #
• 08:57 Playing snow bingo with the discussion on Today.... #
• 11:17 Oh Playhouse, why do you not allow online bookings for the Met relay? #
• 11:40 Have I ever mentioned that the Oxford diocese website is really annoying? You can't find anything, and when you get anywhere, it crashes. #
• 11:43 OK, to be fair, the crash was probably down to an outdated version of Safari. But still... #
• 11:48 *Is also baffled by the tendency of bus operators to treat the location of bus stops like a state secret* However, now know what route. #
• 16:14 Kind of failing at being productive, but did go to interesting discussion on the Incarnation, so day not total loss. Was tempted to quote... #
• 16:16 ... Doctor Who at one point, but was worried about confusing the foreign students present (or sounding like Trendy Vicar). Wimping out? #
• 16:16 @ParrotKnight Hope you're feeling a bit better! #

I wish they'd give the bus stops names. How do I know what stop to ask for if I'm going to the doctor's? I don't; I walk! lol

It's ridiculous, isn't it? No wonder tourists in London would rather use the tube than the bus?

The bus stops do have names, but no-one remembers them, and I've never seen a timetable that lists all of them. Indeed, when bus stop signs in Oxford were the responsibility of the bus companies rather than the county council, some bus stops would have two names, one for both the main operators...

I tend to smile sweetly at the driver and say, 'Could you tell me the nearest stop to X? Thank you. Return, please.' How well it works depends very much on the driver.
