Bought burger claiming to be 'prime beef' in a pub today whilst out with the wife walking the dog.

Was it fuck! More like a beef cat food pattie. Will not return for anything other than a pint as it's at least a convenient
dog friendly pub for a drink at the mid point of a regular walk.

Let's find out...


I had a similar experience just before I bought my Chinese pos.
I was considering buying one brand new.
Walked into bike shop and asked about the bike and was told to " come back another day as we're busy "??? Wtf !
Needless I won't go there again, their loss.

Stripping a cable behind the handlebars .... and slipping ... taking a lovely chunk of paint out of the tank. 😭

Cue me spending all day with kebab sticks and touch up paint today...

I'll probably turn up to my 'appointment' so I'll report back. But it felt like they weren't too fussed about selling bikes.

Having 3 different postmen on some weird rotation and none of the bastards will leave anything with neighbours despite my many requests.
It's only a 12 mile round trip to my nearest sorting office which includes a bitch of a one way system that is always rammed.

Just to be clear... Do you have an inherent hatred of cars full stop.. So parked in a drive etc etc...

Or is it more the combination of car + driver + a road that you are on?

Setting out a detailed job request for our fireplace.

Having somebody quote for said work.

Confirming our requirements and sending photographs. Offered to visit, "don't need to, pictures show what's required".

Saying, "deal" and booking a date.

Day before, text to confirm the job and our requirements. Confirmed.

Lads turn up, "we weren't told about 40 % of this job, you'll have to speak to our gaffer so he can re-quote for the job"

Show main "lad" our texts, our job request etc. he retires to the van for a telephone conference with the gaffer, after conceding that we were told we'd get all that we asked for the quoted price.

Don't know when it'll be completed now because they're booked up and will need a second day of work...

Piss poor communication.

I hate how slow most of them are. I need to readjust my brain for how slow they're when pulling out of junctions etc. Embarassed

Three days worth of rain and it looks like a shed.

Meh, most annoying part is going to have to clean the brakes because gunked up. Think they where needing doing somewhat before the rain but it helped and fast tracked it to "noaw," lovely.

Borg, my racebike look dirtier than yours yet? (inb4 "haven't even cleaned it this year m8.)

Not got it on the road yet Embarassed I mean bikes in general, and even compared to vans (with lots of torque), it's going to take some adjustment driving something so gutless.

Meh cars Sad

It's what happens when you order stuff off Amazon and select peasant delivery option. That grinds my f'ing gears, dispatch it normally with a slower delivery (ie not next day like prime), don't deliberately wait a couple of days just to be c**ts and make your shit service look slightly less shit.

This has ground my gears for over a quarter of a century.
They now have something in common with licencetosocket in that there's not many teeth left.
