I have 3 dental implants. On Friday, someone gave me a toffee and it pulled one of the implants off. Cost me £35 to get my dentist to glue it back on and I couldn't eat for 5 hours.

£150 to get the wheel refurbished or about £200 for a new one plus tyre fitting. I've put a claim in to the council. When I was gathering my evidence a local said he has already reported it to them

He ain't never gonna learn responsibility if you keep fixing stuff for him, mind you kids these days spend all their time playing on phone and haven't got time to fix anything.

He's very attentive and willing to learn. I only show / guide him and he does the graft. It's actually very enjoyable. However riding with the bike in that state is NOT good, be assured that he knows how I feel about that.

Pothole?
Petition them to name that loch and erect a sign.

Snigger.

Sorry Darren, not suggesting your wheel damage is laughable in any way. Hope your claim is successful, especially as the council knew about that crater already.

The councils are now collecting water using holes in the roads because there is no money left to build more reservoirs.

Bloomin people who post up in my local freecycle site wanting something, I dig out what they want, and then don't bother collecting, or have the courtesy to say thanks but I don't want it now.

Same goes for other people who say they want something I'm freecycling and don't turn up.
