Twist neck and shoulder (getting mum's bed downstairs yesterday). With a Rospa ride this morning. I think I got away with it.

People parking in the mc only bay at the Landguard Viewpoint car park therefore forcing motorcyclists to park elsewhere. I would knock on their window and demand they move!

My ancient B&D cordless drill never has any charge in it when I want to use it. But then I'm too tight to buy a new lithium powered one that will keep it's charge better between the infrequent uses I have for one.

Yes I had Mr LPH moaning that I'd contaminated his iPad until I pointed out that I'd have to be very clever to manage that from a converted barn in Yorkshire from where I couldn't even get signal to send a text message while his iPad remained in Essex.

I was cycling along a road with cars along each side leaving a narrow strip to ride along. A car turns in as I'm 3/4 of the way along. I have right of way and they force me to one side as they cannot be bothered to wait ten seconds for me to cycle up.
