So... What oiled your gears today?

Another MOT passed. Turns out I've put more miles on the bike during the past year than I did during the previous three years combined.

I've taken up doing audiobooks again.
(and normal books too)
I've always been a *major* bookworm since I was a nipper.
So very happy that my reading mojo has returned.

Took a last lesson before my Mod 2. Instructor seems to think I can do it, which is more than I do!

Que sera sera!

The bin men emptied my bins (unfeasibly heavy*) without rejecting anything
*(due to a pile of rotting clothes I dug out of a suitcase in the shed )

... if the bin is super heavy they start lifting stuff out to see what's in there. Nobody ever digs me out about what's in there though, and after about three weeks of ignoring it, they eventually take it anyway

They get a bit moody about any weeds or garden clippings too.

This week I learnt that the NHS think I'm a military veteran.

I've no idea where they got that from.

Getting a full license merely means you passed a test to prove you're
competency and nothing else
there's no real pressure to buy a bigger bike outside your head
It means nothing more, don't sweat it.

If you want ride a monkey bike like a dressed up chimpanzee
and have the world laugh at your pathetic efforts because you cant summon the testosterone and cash for a proper machine like a real man then fine.
No one's judging you.

125's are thief magnets as far as insurance is concerned. Plenty of "bigger bikes" would be cheaper.

I see no one picked me up the improper us of you're instead of your.
what has this place become?
Time was I'd have been inundated with scorn and rage posts over my crass mistake
Now, such is the decline in standards and moral degeneracy on this forum
I could have probably used 'txt spk innit m8' with nary a comment
You people...........
