Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Back form a 3 day Biking trip in Dent, Sedburgh. Whilst the weather wasn't great (it's grim up Norf) it was an enjoyable weekend.
Another 800 miles on the Bike.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Abba Skylift arrived today. Got it built and tested it.

Should be very useful for maintenance on the Bike, and giving it a proper clean in-between the Winter seasons.

Got to ride one of my favourite roads yesterday for the first time in a while. And it was mostly empty too!

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

New Bike day has arrived, and i'm a very happy boy indeed.

Also very fortunate the weather is decent enough to ride this weekend too, and put some miles on it.

It's a BMW R1200GS (water...

Show them what others are paying for your position and that there are opportunities out there . . . . and that you're open to change for a wage that pays.

SOTD is a Job promotion & decent pay bump. Much needed after waiting months for it to appear.

It's due to the flat edge of the planet. It blocks out the sun in the morning still until Earth rotates around further.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Maybe he stopped responding due to questions like that . . . . not sure what feedback/answer you want from him, or what difference it would make given he does not make the decisions.

That's because they don't charge Admin fees at all - only the cost of the change (Bike, Address, Job etc)

I found none of what he said surprising. More of a confirmation they (the Government) were as unprepared and clueless as we suspected, and Matt Hancock is well & truly an incompetent ****.

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?

Off for 1 night away (tomorrow) for a spot of camping on the bike. I'm hoping the weather has died down by then, although if it's raining it's more prep for the Highlands!

Cheaper jeans yes, with an A rating (only a 2 second slide time) which are really of safe use sub 50mph.
