Obviously didn't do top of my jacket up properly, got hit square in the neck on my wind pipe by a random flying object, random until I got to work and discovered it to be a wasp, still alive in the corner of my jacket - lucky the little bastard didn't sting me, I react badly to stings and bites, and a hit on the wind pipe would not have been good news  _________________

bugger still, you're still safe in the knowledge that you consistantly arrive at box before your bro on his R1 on your vara 125 . Gluck with the resit mate  | Like I said before ..If on the test there was a section called (ariving at box before your little bro by cheating ) then you would have passed easilly,but sorry there's not so at the moment you couldnt pass WIND  |
You are soooo horrible ... funny but horrible  _________________

the one I got for my VTR was from a German firm selling on ebay, I'll see if I can find them again, it was 35 quid rather than the 3 figures Hondasan want for one _________________

Can't be arsed with it TBH, sodding thing is getting on my nerves. I'm sure the front CCT is giving way too, they were done less than 2000 miles ago and seeing that I've done around 15000 in 6 years on the bloody thing. Its enough to make you go and buy a Meccano designed Enfield... |

Not pissed off; sad:
My sister's friend Karen called today from her hospital bed to say that she'd just been told the doctors can't do anything more for her liver cancer & have put her on hospice care. Karen asked my sister to be godmother to her 2 girls as her kids are friends with my sister's kids. Can't imagine what Karen & her husband and daughters are going through. Reminds me that there are more important things in life than my trifling visa application...  _________________ "Take advantage of her being in a wheelchair while you can, mate - 'cos that's the only time you'll be able to push her around!" -Barry H |

The NHS. Booked an appointment at Kingston Hospital over 2 months ago for some maxillofacial surgery (get a toof taken out) Arrived at 8:50 for my 9:00 appointment like a good citizen (I've read the posters about how many hours are lost by people not turning up in time for their appointments) at 9:30 a lady came to tell me that the dentist is on holiday for 2 weeks, it seems someone had made a mistake booking me and 30 odd other patients in and some one else had made a mistake by not informing us. I managed to hold my anger (again I have read the posters which say "don't take it out on our staff" (what else is there to do in waiting rooms aside from wait and read posters)) and said "Thank you very much, not a lot you can do is there... Never mind, see you in 2 weeks."
Left a black line in the car park though. Cnuts. _________________ It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes. - Douglas Adams.

I had a helmet on and I wouldn't class it as a stunt just a momentary loss of control.  _________________ It is a mistake to think you can solve any major problems just with potatoes. - Douglas Adams.
