Went along with 6 others today for an 'assesment day'

1 failed the piss easy written tests and 3 more - including myself failed the driving test. I went too fast of all things.

So over half the group failed, and thats before the medical....


I never would have thought it'd be that hard.

well you have to be REALLY intelligent to operate that little cash register they have - REALLY athletic to sit in that seat all day and turn that really big wheel with power-steering dont ya.

:lol:


WHY THE HELL DO YOU WANNA BE A BUS DRIVER?


**picture the unlikely scene, Chris is in a bar chatting away to a girl (who we shall call Kim) for more than 11 seconds**

Chris: So what do you do for a living?
Kim: I work in the accounts department for Natwest... how bout you?
Chris (proudly): I'm a bus driver!
Kim: Oh right... errr... thanks for the drink, er Chris isnt it. I have to go now, i just remembered I have a rat infestation that i have to deal with this Wednesday.
Chris (waves): oh right ok then, bye...
(Chris begins to cry)
Chris: why oh why did i decide to become a bus driver?!?!?!

**twinkling music and swirly effect as we fade back into the world of novaload**

:lol:
You see Chris - you didnt wanna be a bus driver anyway!

?15k-?24k

Just for driving...


They put me in an absolutly hopeless Minibus with about a million miles on the clock, then got me to drive around Newtown and Aston in Birmingham. No wonder I was going quickly!

And the official title would have been Bus Manager! So :P

Chris: Well errr, no... I am a bus driver.
Kim: Oh right... errr... thanks for the drink, er Chris isnt it. I have to go now, i just remembered I have a rat infestation that i have to deal with this Wednesday.

why u want to be a bus driver is beyond me lol. you'll end up being given the school run where thousands of kids will poke you in the eyes with their pencils, spit at you and no doubt tell you to go fuck yourself if you ask for any money, or you'll be given the night shift where nobbers throw bricks at you, people shoot at you with air guns and pissheads beat the shit out of you.

oh, and you've got a greater risk of getting cancer of the nads :lol:

wow, is that worth the money??

bein a lorry driver would be shite i agree, but it would be more fun arseing around in a lorry compared to a bus
