Todays - What grinds my gears *ARCHIVE*

It was a random security check at the self scan checkout. Personally I think it was bollocks because I double check everything I scan.
I think it was something they'd done to fill their quota.

Excuse me Sir, I need to do a quality control check.

You mean you want to check I haven't been stealing.

Oh no Sir, it's purely for our own data.

You lying git.

The first 3 lines were said between me and checker in Asda. I thought the fourth one but didn't say it.

I've somehow managed to lightly sprain my thumb.
And it hurrrrrrrts *cries*
It's my doing-everything thumb, as I am right handed.
Luckily, still capable of rolling spliffs.

Sorry to harp on about this one but I've been thinking more about this nightmare of insurance.

If my car/bike was smashed whilst parked up, say it was worth only £200. I'd be tempted to say screw it and say nothing to insurance, especially if doing so puts premiums up £200 or so.

Am I right in thinking this is not allowed, in that it is a legal requirement to inform your insurance company of any accident regardless of fault?

Seems a bit unfair.

I applied for a log-book for the project ‘Scrap-heap Hyosung’ at the end of June.
Called DVLA today and they tell me I’m not even on the system?? .
I’ve got a record of my application, but they told me I just have to wait

Lying on grass verge by the roadside in Reading, pretty sure the Enfields reg/rec gave up and battery has boiled. Gel batteries don't half let out some sticky nasty shit.

Playing with project ‘Scrappy Hyosung’.

Squirted light oil down the spark plug holes, minutes later there was a tiny patch of oil on the floor .
Something’s not right?
And I found another small crack on the fairing , luckily it’s now already dealt with.

Everything I touch on this fooging bike needs sorting out and is never straight forward .

EDIT: the lock that holds the rear seat in place went !boing!! This morning , I’ve had to break the lock to get under the seat fffffkk sake!

It's been too hot to make concrete. It'll go off too fast.

Having done a check on the Internet and found that my local PC World has the printer in stock, and travelled to collect one...
'Hi, I'd like that printer please' pointing at said item on the shelf
'Sorry, we don't have any - but we can get you one by 5pm tomorrow by DPL'
'So which do you have in then please' pointing to the 20 or more on the shelf
'None.'
'So why are these on display then?'
'So people can see them.'
'What's the point? You've got none to sell?'
'But people want to see them that buy them on the Internet.'
'Well I'll buy that one then.'
'We can't sell that one. It'd leave us without any.'
What the actual fuck? If you can get them easily for tomorrow why not double your normal daily order once then you could keep some in the shop for walk in punters? Call it, oh, I don't know, stock like a normal shop? Or are Curry's so strapped for cash they need my £40 upfront to be able to order it? It's a bloody crappy printer not a custom built Ferrari for crying out loud!

[Riejufixing]

You remindd me. PC World's attempts at selling "warranties" or "support packages" absolutely royally grind my gears.

Going into a shop and buying something is so last year.

You need a mask for that now.

Buying of the internet is woke, and bad for the environment.
