Jolfa Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 There's a tight gap between our place and the house opposite, big vans and the likes hit it all the time, but there's enough room to swing 2 cats when driving a car through it, and we've both driven through it a hundred times...

Duncy H Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 I missed the wainwright trial cause I was told it was too close to wether or not i'd make it to get on my minibus to go on holiday. Turns out my mates all got back with loads of time to spare. While I was away I realised the alan jefferies trial closed earlier than i thought, so asked someone to enter me in it for me. Entry list has just come out and I'm not on it. I'm so pissed off cause that's two big big trials I have missed now in two weeks, and haven't done a decent trial since Scotland in May. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 "If you want something done right, do it yourself" they say. Day three straight of the most monotonous work possible to catch up on client work I thought was done months ago, and I wish I didn't want it done right... Worked on it 8am - 11pm yesterday and hardly made a dent, this could go on a while! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isitafox Posted July 4, 2013 Report Share Posted July 4, 2013 Oh the joys of trying to find a car suitable for 3 small person seats plus room for parental baggage which hasn't done 100k miles and is within my budget. Made even worse by the fact that what I really want is a T30 though that means living on beans at least until Christmas! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamKidney Posted July 6, 2013 Report Share Posted July 6, 2013 Todays ride that I was properly looking forward to was a disaster. Front wheel bearings have gone again, despite them being used once or twice and the bike then sitting doing nothing for two weeks. Makes no sense. Its insanely warm. 10 minutes of light riding left me feeling like Id been riding for hours. The mass of hair on my head really needs to go - doubles as a woolly hat which isn't ideal given the current weather. Im really sunburnt. The BBQ went completely tits up. Not ideal when Im finding the motivation to ride really f**king low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazykid009 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Work is asking for a full component list and corresponding receipts for every bike I own... How the f**k am I supposed to do that with 7 bikes ranging from 16 years old?! That and the fact I have bought a lot of second hand stuff and new stuff from other places.... Assholes -.- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krazykid009 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Why do they even want that? Part of a companywide check to see if we're stealing. Basically going to check it against the record of things I have bought from them, and then question me about everything I have bought elsewhere, which is 99% of the bikes to be honest!

Revolver Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hopefully the people doing the check are real humans who have bought second hand stuff and understand there's knack-all chance of receipts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalRobbo341 Posted July 7, 2013 Report Share Posted July 7, 2013 Why don't the BBC have some sort of channel that they can run programmes over onto? I don't min a bit of tennis, but what I really wanted to watch with my dinner, was Top Gear. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assholes -.- So they have a warrant to come into your house and check your gear? If the answer is no, you're not obliged to tell them anything at all. It's none of their business what you own.

1a2bcio8 Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 £40 a day for laboring. Seriously? Following from my employer being a friend of my Uncle I assumed my request at £60 p/d would be met. £40 for 8 hours work is £5 p/h and well below the minimum wage. I usually get £8 p/h for laboring. It's annoying that the job market is so shit as I think I may have to continue working for that rate out of desperation. Argh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted July 10, 2013 Report Share Posted July 10, 2013 Simple supply and demand unfortunately. Talking of supplying demands, it appears that paying a significant amount extra for "guaranteed 24 hour delivery" is a sure-fire way of guaranteeing no delivery within 24 hours. Sweet shit. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omgnoseat Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 Litterally killed my testicle on a crash a month ago (no blood flow anymore), it will take multiple months before my body has recovered from the damage and has absorbed the dead tissue. Which means that I won't be able to do any trials at all. Worst summer ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamKidney Posted July 12, 2013 Report Share Posted July 12, 2013 My laziness at work has prompted me to gain a belly again. Taking the train is easy, but barely cuts time off actually riding to work. The food I eat isn't so bad, but the lack of daily excersize means is catching back up with me. I'm not sleeping a proper amount of hours, which could also prompt this. In essence, Ive been a fool and allowed myself to slip into a lazy routine thats become the norm. 14 miles a day on the bike (7 there and 7 back), and hour or two of trials a night and a run should sort me out. I've been riding nowhere near as much as I used to which I hate too. My job means Im not exactly exerting myself either so I should really do more to keep care of myself.
