A IXON Filter summer jacket, with a waterproof liner. For £60 brand new from a store stock clearance I could not refuse.

My friend used a similar IXON jacket in Europe last year and it was perfect for the high temperatures and the rain we rode in.

... a penny, with a lower excess so I renewed with them. Then I called Scorpion / Datatool and they confirmed that my subscription was cancelled last year and issued a refund receipt immediately, but the money can take up to 10 working days but at least it's on the way. Then nipped out in to the garage ...

... datatool as my black GS had one of their trackers and they cancelled the contract when the bike was dismantled, but they've charged me for another year anyway (deadhorse) And then, try to get the hot water back on, boiler is on the blink, hopefully just a pressure issue as that's easy enough. And ...

To be fair, the UK experienced slightly above average growth in GDP over the last year or two....India's GDP growth has been substantial to say the least....and with their vast population, it seems inevitable that they'd start catching up with the rest of the world sooner rather than later.

Shogun.

The best TV so far this year.

... through a list of obstacles to Byron being at mine full time while I’m still offshore, and removing a lot of them. Including securing $14K a year of funding for in home support care while I’m not here. Maybe I’ll sleep more than 4-5 hrs tonight.

I paid £325 last year

Carole Nash just quoted me £707.60 with Ageas insurance.

Cornmarket is 594 with Novitas and 604 with Ageas.

This year's renewal is almost twice what I paid last year.

You can see why so many people don't bother to get insurance

Took it out for the first time this year yesterday.

It was cold, slippery, and there was gravel everywhere. Bloody good fun though.

... and now can run pasted their 25,000 hr limit to 90,000 hrs with 4,000 hr periodic boroscoping to assess condition. We could be here well into next year now. If that had of been my knowledge back in mid 2022 I would've kept looking for work. The gamble now is the place could fall over at any moment, ...

I'm in the same position in May, I really don't "want" any of the new smartphones out there. There's nothing wrong with my near 2 year old OnePlus 10 pro, even the battery is not wearing out, camera is excellent and it does everything I want it to do. Looks like I will be going to ...

... more longer rides in to get bike fit again and also need to grow eyes in the back of my head, there were a lot of people on the first ride of the year today, some riding like absolute bell ends, like the guy who nearly wheelied his SuperDuke into an oncoming car near Helmsley (gah)

... Also, I was mistaken earlier when I wrote that this shooting was the result of criminal activity close to the parade. It wasn't....that was LAST YEAR'S Superbowl parade shooting. (facepalm)

Too many exciting new bikes this year.

... nothing... Swapped the plug and the Denali's came on but it was a bit late to test the horns. It will also provide fridge power for my tours this year without wiring direct to the battery like last time (y)

Estate management companies. Once a year we get a statement of account and are told how much to pay. In September we got a letter to say that they had generated more money than spent, so some people should be in credit. This morning someone ...

Our procedures are less than 1 year old and need finessing. Ironically, this is something that I brought up back in August/September for review but my manager turned up and shut the meeting down saying, "we've got bigger issues at the ...

... crook but still keen to get the f**k out of here. Had a town hall while I was out here. Best estimate is I’ll be made redundant Aug/sept this year. We are barely trickling now. Very likely to be closed in by the time I get back in a month.

... executive team today and received 3 compliments on my diplomacy... you know... the thing my Line Manager has reprimanded me for numerous time last year. Such satisfaction from that it's hard to convey. But anyway, the presentation went very well and we were also complimented on our delivery, the ...
