Dog sitting my daughters dog for the weekend.
1. It's terribly badly trained
2. It's a Husky. Why do people buy Huskys as pets, they really aren't suitable.
3. Wifie said, 'yes, we'll have him and promptly made arrangements to be away for the weekend leaving him with me.
4. I can think of 101 things I rather be doing with the weather like this. ____________________ Triumph Trophy Launch Edition |

A polar bear and a husky walk into a bar.
Can't decide if this is the start of a joke or how you should start the rest of your weekend... ____________________

The electric showers just packed up after about 7 years of twice daily use. My initial investigation would suggest the
heating element has a fault as it will work when running cold but not when the thing is set to heat water, it trips my
RCD every time. Looks like I'm off to B&Q later and spending the afternoon standing in the bath fitting the new one. Sod it. ____________________ Currently enjoying products from Ford, Mazda and Yamaha

Hivvy.

It seems like a worst-of-both-worlds solution and the only point I can see to it is to try and get people to go to the counter and buy a £2 tin of cat fud while they're at it. |
The other thing I don't understand is that it must just be a pre-auth, yet done inside the kiosk rather than at the pump itself.
It doesn't make sense for it to be a pre-payment, otherwise you'd have people going in, saying "£0.50 of unleaded please mate", filling up their tank completely, and fcking off. Yet, Ahmed asked me how much fuel I wanted, which would suggest it is a genuine pre-payment.
I don't believe they can monitor 8 pumps at once in that way, or that there's any way to stop them automatically when they hit their £n prepaid limit. Is there? ____________________ "Now at inspector level!" |

Getting pressure put on you to deliver something for work, and yet you need the help of other people within the company who don't answer emails, the telephone, skype, lync, JIRA, two yoghurt pots on a string, semaphore, smoke signals, mongolian throat warbling, curses in Klingon, or any other method of communication you might care to devise. You know they are there and available, just ignoring you and every other member of your team.
When I say something, I mean pretty much EVERY SINGLE THING one might have to do.
All hypothetical of course.

They all do that, sir.
My tank bag 'lid' zip stitching went after longer than I'd expected it to last, on a corner, which seems to be the usual place. ____________________ 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

Switched to Kriega, yet? |
I've got the Kriega US bags for touring, but prefer something with a zip lid for ease of access for using on the go. Just find it more convenient. The Oxford t/bag is still in use - if I think it will rain, I just wrap things up inside it, but when it finally gets unusable, I'll just use one of the small Kriegas. For now, I just do up the zip on the t/bag to just before the tear on each side. ____________________ 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
