Default Paddock stand-thieving cretins

The title pretty much says it all.

Worked like a demon to finish early today to get an hour or so to wave oily rags at the bike and lube the chain. Went to retrieve paddock stand from where it lives 'hidden' behind locked up garden furniture, and some light fingered scr*te has had off with it.

So annoyed at myself for not making the effort to hoik it down the cellar (no garage), and so f**king angry at the bugger who took it.

Even next door's cat, who thinks he has a time share option at our house, had the good sense to stay away this afternoon.

So - if anyone in reasonable distance of Halifax has an old one cluttering about the place they are willing to let go for a reasonable price, I am happy to help you de-clutter and part with a few quid. Pre-empting offers to sell me my own one back, st*ck it where the sun don't shine!

Well, at least someone round here managed to lube their chain without breaking their back, unlike me. C**ts.

Feel slightly better now.

More likely weighed in TBH, check round some of the salvage places, you might get lucky.

True. Often see tipper truck full of junk driving slowly down the street, eyeballing everyone's front yard.
