The throttle not closing automatically upon sensing a speed camera van round the corner 
I don't think I was going too fast though so hopefully they will be gentle with me.

My daughter getting woken up by a text message from Brunel University saying she didn't get the results she needed to get her place.
She can't even find out what her results were until after 09:00am.

What the fuck happened to August and the Summer, why is it now november and autumn?
It's pissed me off because I have now had 2 random weeks of work, no money to do anything, barely leave reigate and the weather is shite. All because I am earning so bloody little, all I do is earn to exsist...it's bollox.
I am looking for a new job and by fuck I hope I get one soon.

Last flight back from Edinburgh for two weeks - as I've time off - and it's delayed 3hrs!
Now the fire alarm is going off and I think we have to evacuate the building......oh joy!

FFS !!  Headed out this morning and got four miles from home before the bike came to a juddering halt........back brake locked solid.....blue disc....smoke...the works.  Unable to move it fully off the road i had to let the pressure out though the bleed nipple to free the brake.
I did stay calm through out though, so maybe i'm finally getting use to owning an Italian bike.

Sounds like an ideal touring bike.  . Gluck with fixing it.

How long is the run on the cable, I may have enough spare, failing that put a connector in screw it together and wrap in insulating tape.

Being told I can't take the dates I want for a holiday off as we are too busy!!!!.
I've not been able to book dates for one reason or another all summer, then I get told you've got 17 1/2 days you need to use by end of October. So book some time off, oh no you can't have those dates!!!
Getting seriously fucked off with this place now

sounds similar to the woman I had words with on the Redhill one way system who gave me the bird just for overtaking her, she clammed up quick when I hit the brakes

Am spending my last ever week at my Mums in La Clusaz as she is selling the house
Blazing sunshine, 34 degrees, and I don't have my bike here. To top it all off all I hear is the sound of engines being caned, and all I see is chavs in shorts and t shirts riding like tw@ts... Not a fecking clue!!
Next year I will get my act together and do some touring. |
