asking people to do their job and nothing getting done. i'm now going to get wet on my holidays. this biking malarky is staring to slowly get me down.

No joy on the textile alterations ?. Would P me off too.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Oww i get them too with added toothache so i feel your pain :(

You still got no joy fella, you want me come up there and stand over them menacingly till they do them!





Ps im as menacing as a puppy but can tickle quite well ;)

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Yes, I get the toothache as well :(

Another gripe from yesterday, if you go shopping, why don't you get the essentials, like bread, instead of coming home with feck all to eat, so I don't have to go out and do a proper shop :smt097

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Sheep. Luckily the rider walked away from this one with a couple of bruises. But I swear they are the stupidest animals on the planet.

Blimey, glad everyone walked away from that?

Anyone we know LPH

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Sheep drive cars now?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

I should point out I didn't take this pic. Paul the 6th took it, that's Rob H's bike, and Rob's guardian angel must have been on overtime. So the moral of the story, sheep do less damage than cars in a head on, kill the sheep, show no mercy, do not swerve.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Lucky escape.

I remember reading somewhere that you should aim for the sheep, don't try and avoid it.

People who call my mobile and ask if I'm Anna.

Do I sound like a woman?


I keep forgetting to say 'Yes'

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Anna short for your nickname, Anaconda. Right?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Aaaaggh complete electrical failure to my garage power supply. Don't know what the problem is either.

Nice to come home to after putting up my mums new shed, which wasn't a faff free build

TNT still didn't deliver my new tool chest.

Not a great day

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

But on the up side I posted you a hard drive and in the envelope is a usb memory stick that doubles as a bottle opener. Just back up your memory before drinking yourself into oblivion.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

I may need that bottle opener sooner rather than later. :smt091:smt091:smt091:smt091

Does this statement sound clear & concise?

'Someone will be in to receive the delivery' :?

Right off to the garage to electrocute myself with 240v

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Today my gripe is (as most days) intolerance. A general lack of empathy and understanding of the situation. If something isn't right in a group of people then whinging about it will NOT sort it faster or better. Constructive comments only and understanding of whatever solution you are given. Is that too much to ask?

That reminds me, I must go and play some Linkin Park music this afternoon.

Just for the record, I notice it in myself too. I'm not blameless or a paragon of morality but some people revel in being contrary and generally unhelpful when there is a problem. What is worse is a solution that isn't good enough.

Imagine the situation, you get done for speeding by a gatso, the solution presented is to slow down before you pass them in future. The response feels like "what? that's so inconvenient, why doesn't my new bike doesn't automatically negate all speeding fines?, this is rubbish!" :rolleyes:

OK maybe I'm being a little harsh but outwardly I'm being very professional :) :laughat:

Mine is my lack of confidence on my Tiger.


I went out for a play into Yorkshire, headed North and felt like a fawn trying to balance on ice for the very first time. No flow, no finesse, no glide.


Bike's worth about £5000 I reckon. Hmmm, Canon EOS 5 MKIII?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Pete mate, you're clearly not getting out enough...

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Pete when was the last time you were out?

You actually rode since your change of job?

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Wife, kids, dog, cat, chickens, work, etc etc etc...

I am repeating my gripe but this time, I will name them...

COSMOS

For your own sake don't book a holiday though them.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Pedestrian walking along so engrossed in their phone that they don't notice that they have walked into a road, then have the gall to give you abuse for not looking where you were driving. If I wasn't looking I wouldn't have seen that you weren't paying attention and slowed down, I would have run you over and not stopped and beeped my horn to alert you to my presence!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

You mean there isn't a app they can put on their phone to tell them when you are coming...? How inconsiderate!

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

But there is an app on all vehicles which comes all different specifications and underwear dying power

He kept that one a secret ! I never saw that either. Thread?


I had a sheep do a four-hoof drift into the side of the bike a few weeks ago! The little beggar wasn't half back-peddling as he realised he was running head first into the side of my bike ! LoL

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
 

Ta for replies andy and Lph, glad he walked away from that, he needs to shout 'bah ram ewe' loudly next time he rides through a sheep infested area ;)
