Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Brake servicing Neither front carriers would budge out of the slides**, braking is fine though but I feel it would be easier to ebay some nice newer/recon replacements

best pop a thread up in SV Talk, Tuning & Tweaking rather than in here.

Being ripped off by insurance companies when you do a mid-policy amendment! Plus a £40 broker fee.

I have a cross trainer at home - cost about £400 over 15 years ago, zero running costs and much easier to find 30 minutes a day without having to travel to a gym and pay £30 / £40 a month for one visit a week.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
Just had a text from one of my team, he'd got home to find his garage had been broken into and his bike had been knicked. He'd only moved in at the end of July.
To make matters worse he'd just forked out £1700 to have his cat treated at the gets after it had got run over, no insurance. Bad luck with his cars going bang, some of it self inflicted, but unlucky sod. His younger brother got an infection in hospital and had both legs amputated below the knee and I think he also had a hand amputated too. Poor bloke he's had really bad luck

Good grief Mav! Some folk have far more than their share of crap in life. Poor guy.

Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I've just seen a trailer on the BBC for a remake of Porridge!
Who at the BBC authorised this? I get irritated enough about movies being remade, but WTF. As a licence payer I'd like to see new programs being commissioned, and from the trailer not a very badly made rehash of a timeless classic. Why didn't they just get the tapes out of the vault and rerun the originals, like the do for Dad's Army?
