Reading "A tenner lasts a month" when asked what MPG a bike is getting. Could be 400 miles on a Diesel Enfield, or 1 litre's worth of fun with nitromethane. ____________________ Chances are quite high you are not in my Monkeysphere, and I don't care about you. Don't take it personally.

Getting a bike out for its MOT and finding that the speedo doesn't work any more. The gremlins have been in over winter and karate-chopped the inner cable.... What makes me happy though is that those nice people at Wemoto do the cable and outer for £10... ____________________ Now - Speed Triple, old ratty GS550, GSXR750M

Made a casual enquiry at a local bike dealer's to see if they could use someone part time on their parts counter.
Got told people are queueing up for jobs now, but if I'd approached them last year, they were desperate for staff ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Master Chef.
What pretentious shite.
The judges, the food, the judging.
And now we have 'live plating', where the judges watch as a piece of dessert 'artwork' is drawn out all over a massive table, by chefs, who are supposed to be good at cooking things, not drawing. End result, a load of wavy lines of sauce and a few bits of cake and chocolate slammed in a pointless mess across a couple of square metres of plastic. Then the judges stare at it, make judgemental wincing faces, then eat bits directly from the table and tell us all how shit it is because they obviously know so much more about the delicate intricacies of smearing food on a surface. I swear most of us grew out of this when we stopped eating from a baby seat.
It's like the emperor's new clothes. Tell people this is what food is meant to be about, then enough idiots will buy into it for it to warrant a dedicated TV show. The mind boggles. |

This could be in the Grind or Oil threads
I took wifie to see Evita today. Really really enjoyed it, that's the good bit.
I bought a small rose wine and lemonade for her and a diet coke for me. £11.60
Then at the interval she asked for an ice cream. 2 small tubs, £4.50 each. £9 fucking quid. I told her we could have bought 36 of Asda's own brand cornettos for that. Cue sniggers from the row behind me and wifie telling me not to be such a cheapskate.
FFS I'm not poundshop Dave by any stretch but that took my weekends spending money for 2 drinks and 2 ice creams.
Just as a comment, make of it what you will.........
I noticed something that truly shocked me. I didn't see one non white ethnic Briton in the theatre. Not one, in a theatre of about 500. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

The incompetent mouth breathers in payroll have managed to mong something up epically and we're all on SD-goddamn-0 emergency tax codes this month.
Translation: as well as spacking up my self assessment this year, an extra £1250 in tax has been stolen right out of my pocket this month. Well, it never even reached my pocket. And guess who's been paying down his mortgage big style and not keeping much aside?
Is this... is this what it feels like to be a poor?

Where there's blame there's a claim.
Did you not already calculate the interest they owe you, plus the extra amount over 15 years of remaining mortgage payments? Factor in the missing Harrods and Waitrose loyalty points and that you had to commute via Ryanair rather than Emirates and have irrevocably lost your social standing and been kicked out of the local bridge club. All in you'd be down about 12 brexit ponds I reckon. ____________________
