For this very reason I am sticking to the motorways tomorrow when my bike takes a trip to Spannerman's for it's annual cossetting. Hopefully the forecast is right and it will not rain.

Walking to the news that Jonah Lomu had died. I know little about rugby, even though I do sometimes meet the players including the All Blacks through work.

But he was one of those sports people who everyone knew. He was amazing to watch, like an 18 stone bulldozer with an Olympic sprinter's ability.

And his transplant raised awareness of organ donation. They played an interview with him on the radio this morning talking about how the transplant had allowed him to see his children grow up. Sadly this was only last year, but he sounded like he was cherishing every day with them.

To the git in the bicycle shop that fitted some expensive but rubbish mudguards to Lady Poppy's Dawes Odyssey. Thanks for cross-threading half the bolts and for not lubricating them before forcing them in so badly. Some much better chromoplastic guards are finally in place but at the expense of four broken drill bits and a shattered Dremmel grinding wheel sacrificed removing your poor work.

I feel your pain. We have training days. One less rest day per set of shifts. Today was one hour on how to fill in a form, ten minutes on some legal gobbledygook and sod all else! That was an eight hour day.

Bah, I'm starting to sound like Timwilky!

Half a day on how to talk to an introvert.

?!?

Half a dozen people answer 6 questions similarly on a survey form they didn't understand and now everyone gets to be judgemental on how to speak to them.
Excuse me?

Half baked diagnosis of a whole group of people and we can now all treat that group the same?

Bigoted? Stereotyping?condescending?


Then forget to invite a while department, realise you did that, but then blame them for poor team work and lack of communication?


Why did I end up more p***ed off than I started the day?

Cars! Mainly my flamming range rover.
In 15 months its had;
Full recon gear box
Crank sensor
New seal on air compressor
3 new brake calipers and flexi pipes
Full set of pads and new front discs
New thermostat
Then Sunday on the way to Newark autojumble the water pump decided it wanted off
Managed to pull over before it over heated thankfully. £120 recovery as I forgot to renew b/down cover, then quotes of £450 + to change the pump!
Had it changed in 6 hours with help from a mate + £150 in new parts and we did it ourselves. Even had to make a tool to take off the fan! Including slipping my mate a few quid for helping me out I halved the garage quote so not the end of the world but £400 out of pocket just b4 Christmas isnt fun.

SORN'd the bike as well so couldnt even go for blast on that to chill out
