Having a trapped nerve in my elbow. It hurts like buggery, there is no comfortable position and all feeing in my fingers has gone so my hand is useless. It is a real insight into how difficult it must be to not have use of a limb. Simple things take far longer, and the lack of sleep is starting to show in my mood. I know it will pass having had the same thing in my other elbow a few years ago, and that took weeks to shift. Bastard... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

I was making my usual efficient way through Tesco’s aisles when I encountered a woman and child partially blocking one corner, so I held the basket in front of me, and low, and slipped past without contact or conflict. Meanwhile the woman unnecessarily moved her elbow and basket a mere couple of inches and when I was well past said, “You’re welcome,” like I’d done something wrong. That cow has troubled me all evening. I reckon this is the kind of insult that inspires serial killings, if only I could remember what she, my first victim, would look like. Maybe I’ll just pick a random, inspired by this event.

I get more work done when I work from home than when I have to go into the office
But then ... I don't have to work with members of the public who require face to face interventions.
The crush of humanity on the commute is exhausting, my productivity levels are much higher when one doesn't have to squish oneself up against garlic-breathing neanderthals who still reek of last night's daily overdose of alcohol.
I'm too old to put up with that shite any more, and very grateful indeed for the luxury of hybrid working. ____________________ Not nearly as interesting in real life. |

Sold a bike, third person to view it bought it, but all three viewers felt the need to lean on my car. I don't know what it is about the car that entices people to do it (i've found many people do it over the years), but regardless, what happens to their mind that removes their respect for other people's possessions? How would they feel if I leant upon their car whilst talking directly to them!? Annoys me madly. ____________________ CBT: 12/06/10, Theory: 22/09/10, Module 1: 09/11/10, Module 2: 19/01/11

Insurance.
It's always insurance, isn't it? Bear with me though.
I recently received my bike insurance renewal notice; although absolutely nothing had changed on the policy apart from an extra year's NCD, I was expecting a hike, well, just because, innit. However, a 100% increase was definitely unexpected, so I shopped around and found cover elsewhere for not a lot more than I paid last year.
A full week before my renewal date, my old insurer (who was on auto-renewal) emailed me to congratulate/thank me on another year's cover (I hadn't yet got around to contacting them to cancel). Hmm. I also discovered they'd already hit my credit card for the full premium... Oh well, I'll just cancel now and they can reimburse me. I got on to their webchat thing, and did so. However, they refunded £35 less than I'd paid. Surely some mistake?
"I'm really sorry but we no longer refund the Service fee"
"You have to be kidding me?"
"I do apologize. Would you like to log feedback about this?"
"You have renewed my policy 1 week before it is even due, against my willl. Absolutely you will refund the full amount."
"I'm sorry once again and that you feel this wasn't to the standard you would expect. We would love an opportunity to look into this for you and hopefully restore your faith in our brand. If you would like to leave feedback or would like us to investigate your concerns further, please use the below link"
I followed the complaints procedure, and was advised (1) that because the renewal notice stated that renewal would be automatic; (2) that payment would be taken a week before the policy started; and (3) that the "renewal fee" was non-refundable, they had followed the correct process and my complaint was therefore not upheld. Though they did then refund the fee "as a one-off gesture of goodwill".
I'm stunned that they think they can get away with this shit. I'm not arguing with their points (1) and (2), but whatever; however their point (3) is deeply, deeply buried in small print, if it's even there at all. I don't even get it now, looking back at it. I'm quite tempted to put a complaint in to the ombudsman, just because.... ____________________ KC100->CB100N->CB250RS--------->DL650AL2->R1200RS->R1250RS |
