Cycling to work, two lanes in my direction, left lane is left turn only except for buses, cycles and taxis, right lane is ahead only. Long queue in the right lane as it's heading into Manchester, left lane empty. I'm happily cruising along the left lane then literally at the junction a "soft roader" swerves left. I can only assume it was a last minute decision to turn left, or a complete misunderstanding of the road, or else why would she have queued, but despite my hi-viz and lights, she clearly didn't see me (or didn't look for me) - fortunately we missed, but only just.
Separate event a few miles further down, and a pet hate (especially as a cyclist who actually abides by the rules of the road), cyclist comes flying past me, straight through the red light I'm waiting at, skids around cars etc. and carries on. I catch up with him after the lights turn green, overtake him, then the same thing happens at the next set of lights. This happens about 4 times before he turns off. I made a point of overtaking him so close I brushed his jacket to show my irritation, although I did manage to hold back from sounding my 120db airhorn in his face.
Vent over. Feel better now. ____________________ TG. |

Just for a change I thought I'd go by car to work...
There's only one (one!) set of roadworks on the way and the queue didn't even stretch back 3 cars. Great start!
But then I get to a roundabout where people on the main drag insist on clogging up even though there's obviously no clear route ahead so I can't skip across.
And just to add insult to injury three motorbikes come up my outside, slip through the gaps in the traffic and carry on their merry way ____________________ Husqvarna Vitpilen 401, Yamaha XSR700, Honda Rebel, Yamaha DT175, Suzuki SV650 (loan) Fazer 600, Keeway Superlight 125, 50cc turd scooter |

Paypal are pissing me off just now.
When you use paypal checkout from an online shop it dredges up literally every postal address and variation of postal addresses you've ever had something sent to. Some of them are decades old. There is no way to remove them in your profile, they don't even show up.
Mine defaults to a business I no longer work at, complete with an old phone number (which it inserts automatically regardless of which address I select without telling me it's doing so, again long deleted from my profile).
I've tried messaging them to get this shit sorted out and they just keep saying "You can add and remove addresses in your profile". Well you can't!
I'm going to phone them about it but if they don't sort that shit out, I'm reporting them to the data commissioner for a breach of GDPR. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

You can, it's just not a very intuitive way of doing it. I think you have to login to the paypal website and click 'edit my profile' or something like that.
{edit} I just had a look, you click on the little sprocket in the top right, then click 'profile' and then you can add and remove addresses. You can't remove all addresses though, so if you've only got one you need to add it, make it your primary one and then you can delete the other one. Mine has also a button next to my phone number saying 'update phone number'. ____________________ British beauty: Triumph Street Triple R; Loony stroker: KR1S; Track fun: GSXR750 L1; Commuter Missile: GSX-S1000F

My bike insurance has gone up to over £900
Sadly I can't shop around because it's courier insurance and I've had the
same policy for nearly 30 years. If I cancel it I lose it for life and from
what I know there are few alternatives. ____________________ CBF500 - 2 x Inazuma 250 |

A real 1st world problem today and I'm quite embarrasses in hind sight on how angry it made me.
I had 2 new tyres put on the rear of the Jaguar last week. I told them there were pressure sensors in the valves so not to rip them out.
So they finished the job, I got back in the car and all OK no faults or tyre pressure warnings.
I got in the car this morning and left rear tyre pressure warning. I checked it with the compressor - 2.4 bar. WTF that should be OK. Upped it to 2.6 bar and then 2.8 bar. Still warning. OFFS, a knackered sensor.
Still fuming I went and dropped the pressure back to 2.4 and decided o check all the other tyres. Front 2 OK, back right was at 1.9 bar. SO I pumped it up and guess what, the fault cleared. The wankers had put the wheels on the other way round so now the right rear was showing as the left rear.
So what did I do. Did I get out the trolley jack and nut gun and swap over the wheels which would have taken me 10 minutes at worst. Did I fuck. I drove 5 miles in the opposite direction to where I was going to have a rant at the tyre place and by a rant it was the rant of all rants. I have no idea why it wound me up so much as usually I'm a pretty placid person.
Anyway, half an hour later I drove out of there with the wheels in the right place.
Happy days. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

Do you work for a paypal live messaging service?

I have TWO addresses in my profile. My home and my work. I have one phone number, my home one.
I'd estimate over 20 addresses/permutations of an address come up as options when I checkout with paypal. It's the kind where you select your delivery address from a dropdown after you've been redirected to paypal rather than the sort where you type it into the sellers website.
It appears every time you type an address in a third party website then pay by paypal, that address is saved somewhere for dredging up later. If its a different arrangement of the same address, it stores both (So if one had John Smith, 1 New Street, Townsville, Cityham. And another had John Smith 1, New street, Townsville Cityham, Countyshire. It saves both.).
I only found out about the phone number thing because a seller emailed that had tried to call me and had been told I don't work there any more. Because I don't, I removed that phone number from my profile when I left and it's not in there any more.
See, not just me going mad and being unable to operate a user interface a 3-year old could navigate. ____________________ “Rule one: Always stick around for one more drink. That's when things happen. That's when you find out everything you want to know.”

Are the tyres directional? They'll need to refit them rather than swap them across the wheels if they are. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Well now, I had another tooth removed. It was fecked and fixing it would cost a lot of money with a very, very uncertain result, and since it's right next to my second tooth that got removed earlier this year (broken down to the gum), I told my doc to remove it. It's the 6th and 7th tooth, so visually no one can tell. Time to get some implants.
Now to what grinds my gears today, I forgot about I've had a tooth removed and just drank hot coffee and it spilled over the area. Well, feck me, I'm done with hot beverages. ____________________ '87 Honda XBR 500, '96 Kawasaki ZX7R P1, '90 Honda CB-1, '88 Kawasaki GPz550, MZ 150 ETZ
