View Full Version : What Have You Learned Today?
I've learned that my bike will run out of petrol 23.4 miles after the fuel light comes on - leaving you stranded on the M27 in the ****ing down rain until your friend rocks up with £5 worth of fuel in a jerry can. :oops:
It certainly focusses the mind when you have to cross three lanes of traffic to get to the hard shoulder with no power and coasting to a standstill.
So now I know and I won't be doing that again.

I've learned just how feckin' petty some people can be after someone made an official complaint about me moving a bag of crisps from inside my jacket to the door pocket of the jeep at work... WHILST DRIVING! :-s
Apparently, we stop people all the time for it.
I was crawling along in a queue at about 2mph in an automatic BMW X5.
Small minded feckin' ....stain.
Pete ;)
PS, sorry to hear about you running out of fuel!
that I shouldn't be here whilst revising!
Today I've learnt that I have a screw in a tyre on my cage and I've also learnt how to kill a load of people in airport terminal...I just bought the new Call of Duty.

You should be ashamed!!!
For driving an X5 that is, not the crisp thing...

Glad you managed to coast across safely Scoobs!
Pete - that sucks - this sort of petty mindedness seems to be getting worse :(
I've learned that my bike doesn't want to start on the button when it's sat for a few weeks in the shed - but all was well on the 6th attempt :D
learnt how to kill a load of people in airport terminal...I just bought the new Call of Duty.
yeeh that mission must be the 'offensive' one they warn of right at the start!
its pretty raw tbh - but meh...still fun to mow 'em all down!
Glad you managed to coast across safely Scoobs!
So am I. There is a ridge down the centre of my saddle where my arsé was clenching up. :)

Should have bought a Blade... they tell you how many miles you can get when you hit the reserve by averaging your consumption for the previous 20 miles.

I've learned that Argos are useless when it comes to car radios and if you take one back they wont have anything that's any where near the same spec for the same price as you paid and the one you returned they wont have in stock and that they wont have anything within a tenner of your original one in stock :\

I learned a whole bunch of boring stuff about political science. Well, I read it at least - as to whether it sticks is another matter, so I may not have learnt it after all!:smt119
And I learnt that I may have a cold coming on :(
But I didn't learn that Scoobs is a dozy twonk - I knew that already :p
I've learned that life really is good, and it seems it's about to get even better. Details to follow soon.
Today I learned the glorious "slippers and banana skin" facility of wet leaves.

Could have been worse Pete, you could have had the flat in the X5 at work, mind you, at least you would have had some crisps to eat whilst waiting for the "fitter" to come out and change the wheel (or does your force actually trust you enough to change one yourself)

Well my repair kit doesn't have any strips left so I just left it to deal with on another day! Screw is bang in the centre so should be easy enough to repair. Could stick the spare wheel on but can't be fooked!

ARE YOU MAD! :smt118
Ohhhhhh, I shudder at the thought of the Boss's face if I changed a wheel. The tyre fitters (outside company) earn a fortune, especially from the X5's, because of the amount of hard shoulder running we do, loads of rubbish in the rumble strip gives us loads of punctures.
Pete ;)

We had to abort an Op last month because one of our 330's came up with a puncture warning light (then use runflats) and the emergency call out firm didn't carry spares. I tried to get them to buy one spare wheel which we could keep at the garage but even then they said I'd still have to call out to get them to change it! Ridiculous!

Today I learnt that kids will eat brocolli if you tell 'em that they can only have their birthday pressie once it's all gone.
I also learn that said kid is devious and flushed his brocolli down the loo when I wasn't looking :lol:

Today I learned...erm....that Lurpak is nice on a crisp sandwich...That is all.
today I learnt that me and drew should not buy an apartment as they are to small for the amount of crap we have, plus we may out grow it within a couple of years anyway! ;)
So the new plan is to wait another year and save a bigger deposit and then buy a two/three bedroom house! :D
Today I learnt that passion can cloud your time reading abilities thus rendering you naked in bed with your partner with your Ex-husband ringing the doorbell waiting to return the children.
I also learnt that trying the line "just taking a nap" doesn't work when you have stubble rash and look like a wet T-shirt competition entry cos you have no bra on!!!!

That even a 6psi drop on the front can give you a wobble...
Guinness also gives me a wobbley front too but that's a different story.
I've learnt that as a male, no matter what I say in a conversation with my wife, I am wrong. Even if I'm technically correct, the way I in which I elucidated or explained my side of the issue was incorrect which means of course...that I'm wrong.
Did I say learnt?
I think I meant "I was reminded".
Life just sucks big ones sometimes. And no - I don't want to get over it.:rolleyes:
At least I'll be at work tommoz...I can be with members of my own species.:smt033
today i learnt that there is a little bit of front tyre missing on my bike...
kerbs + tyres = bits missing.
Damn it.
I also learnt that after bumping a kerb whilst moving off I can stay shiny side up so thats a bonus. I think.
But I didn't learn that Scoobs is a dozy twonk - I knew that already :p
Love you too Debs.

Yeah, Dawn, you are really going to have to tell us the story behind this before the guys start making up all sorts of weird, wonderful and perverted reasons....and then they will become the truth and stick with you for the rest of your Organ days!
I learnt to check if you have put your bike away at night, which i didnt last night...

I have learned not to trust the little white mice that scurry around at night giving out free advice.
The little voices told me not to trust them

Na, I'm pretty sure he'd have something to say before today if he monitored the pc's.
Mainly about how much of the time he's paying me for that I spend typing on here.
