Yep some rough fag packet math would make it worthwhile financially, and certainly frees up some more time for cycling/motorcycling

Details being kept on file though, however comforting that may be

Coming home after dropping the youngest at school, perfect picture opportunity - no camera

Go home, pick camera up go back to take picture - battery pack is flat

I need to move my car so Lee will be able to get his bike down the drive.
No says the wife, do it in the morning.

Off to the pub

Later, dad can I have your keys, we need to get Lee's bike out of the garage for the morning.

I help push the bike out the garage and down the drive and watch as daughter swings wide to put my car back on the drive. Too wide, crunch against the wall at the side.

She denies everything, I saw her, heard it. But not her. Bodyshop has just told me £400.

Wife who stopped me moving it yesterday afternoon says it is my fault, if I didn't have so much parked up, she wouldn't have needed to move it. OK we will get rid of your car so there is not as much on drive.

It was going to be a crap job anyway. The money was less and it wasn't going to stretch you as you could do it all, as you told them in the interview.

(As you see, I'm an expert in post interview rationalisation.)

And your bike would suffer as it would never get warmed up properly
