More and more the standards of road sense is diminishing .
I've a single file bridge I cross every morning.
The amount of Pr1cks who barge over it is getting ridiculous.

1.65%, sorry the company is still not recovering its margins. Yet other parts of the business are giving up to 10% in bonus. (My part is not considered a profit centre and therefore will not give bonuses)....

My salary has gone up by 7% in 8 years. They know I am locked into the final salary pension and cannot spit my dummy like a twenty something and go elsewhere. So much for loyalty!

Warranty want the bolt we drilled out that holds the abs sensor in.

Decided we are going to Koln/Colonge and have just booked the hotel. Going to keep an eye on the situation and book ferry/train at a later date.

The malevolent little bee that flew into me today, got caught in an updraught and stung me at the top of the neck under the jaw.
I felt something hurt but didn't realise what it was until I got home and found the little blighter in the top of my jumper.

Liars, even more so when they won't admit it when they've been caught out

That's the thing about liars. The dishonest ones are the worst

True. The guy we interviewed yesterday to take over from me on a perm basis when my contract expires tried to make out he ran several projects at a previous job, not realising my boss leading the interview had been there at the same time. His face fell and needless to say he is not coming back for a second round.

Too many old farts slowing me down on my descents braking for corners that could just be driven through, no safe place to pass on my pushbike

still i managed one near clear run down the col du telegraph, loads of bikers out on the road on the way up and i was passed by some old boy on his Laverda 750 twin, it made a nice noise as he accelerated away from me

Hotels going overboard with cushions. Sure they need to cater for all tastes but when would this number ever be appropriate?
