You know what it is like gazing into space wandering what will it be
Will it be your bus you see in the distance.
Sometimes you are in luck but most times it is not going anywhere near where you are heading then of course behind that bus you saw in the distance is another 3 or 4 some the same number going to the same place far from where you want to go and an add stray bringing up the rear proudly displaying Not In Service.
Bolton Wanderers have modelled a future based On The Buses. The real ones and the comedy show blended into one.
The start of every recent season starts with expectations will it be a good one (nah its not our bus we've seen plenty of the same one it's not ours). We hang around scratching heads wandering when our luck will be in. Our sick list appears incapable of being low (the not in service bus)
When will our time come when will we get where we want to go ?
Sod this I'm walking forget the bus I'll learn to drive or get a push bike I'm not hanging around best find another way. Maybe one day when the buses are reliable they will be worth standing about for I wander if there will be a queue.
Same again with the Wanderers no more money to them it be the interweb and TV only service from me.
Will one be along on Tuesday night with MK Dons on the front ? Anybody bothering to wait or has everybody given up on them. I hear there are so few people bothering these days there is no queue and plenty of room up top. I'm amazed they haven't gone bust. They must have some clowns running and working there.
Did I mention modelled on On The Buses. We know the DVD boxed set is in the secret cupboard it is in daily use as a management tool bought with the companies ticket money of course.
Waiting for a bus

It's simple Pasty, our bus is knackered. It 's only fit for the scrap yard but PG has given Neil Lennon the impossible job of trying to keep it running. He's driven the bus to destruction but has now passed the buck to Lennon but he hasn't given him any money for spare parts.
A very astute move by Gartside. When the bus finally stops running altogether, He will say that Lennon wasn't up to the job and sack him.
We will then find ourselves with even bigger problems than we have at present but Gartside will still be pocketing his ill gotten gains.
He will be sat drinking his herbal tea and dunking his herbal biscuits, rubbing his hands together proclaiming that at least he has executed his duties perfectly. Poor old Ed will be sat in his Island retreat wondering if his most trusted employee will be able to pull a rabbit out of the hat.
Perhaps he could temp Big Sam back. Nah, Sam will have another project on the go by then.

You did right on Saturday making your plans going shopping instead of doing what you usually do hanging about on here with us waiting wandering what if anything would turn up it was a nightmare nothing showed up all afternoon for us.
We need those fancy electronic display customer notice systems which give you an idea when something is coming or how long yours will be. I have heard a rumour somebody has seen trials of one in Bolton saying next bus to the Premiership 2050.

I tried a bus last night, half way along the route
"ding ding everybody off" we had taken a round turn and stopped. Lost we were in the middle of nowhere somewhere down South.
Tried to thumb a lift some bloke in a posh car went past didn't stop he a bumper sticker with Chairman of the Year on it. His window down singing three wheels on my wagon.
