    Not so far. I have a colleague whose aunt was killed by being run over by a bus.

      Wow. That's horrible.

      My bus was killed by an aunt, so I can relate
      To us, it is the BEAST.

        I've come close though, not long after I started. Teenagers deliberately obstructing my passage. Thought I'd teach 'em a lesson by driving close. I'm more bus driver Zen now :angel:

        Edit: what's the friggin' angel smiley?

Surely you know him! My wife's old mate Geoff was the whatchemacallit Dept aid dude in the Beijing embassy for a few years up until recently (we went to stay with him, it was great!).

            Also the Sadleir family. While I'm dropping names, I'm Mungo MacCallum's erstwhile stepson.

                  Man. I've been almost state x-country champ (4th), NIDA undergraduate (not graduate), lead engineer on the team that led the country on water resources during the Millennial Drought, then had a midlife crisis, a failed career change in to teaching, divorce and here I am. An oversupply of engineers, an education system controlled by rad fems, an old guy who won't do make work, so I drive buses. And I like it It's an occupation dominated by men, who I'd much rather work with than women, and we have a good time

                    Are you bitter and dislike the world in general and women in particular?

                    The fact that you ask the question is a good indicator that the answer is no.
                    “It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

                      When shivering, your teeth can chatter together and this increases the odds of accidentally biting and poisoning yourself. (In the case of tree frogs ... huddling together for warmth didn't work out so well.)

                        The idea was that if anyone else had any random questions that were bugging them, they could also post them. Just like google had never happened.

                          How is France a functioning country?
