DHL. Expecting the new work laptop. Just heading to the gym for an earlyish session this morning and get a ping to say the delivery is between 9:30 and 11:30.... turned round and headed back home... now 14:30 and I'm still fecking waiting.. What makes it worse is the tracking map ...

I'm happy to say the Yaris driver was fine, scared half to death but no injuries. I went to the doctors this morning and booked myself in for next Monday to have the stitches out, the nurse advised me to have a week off until then ...

........ Could have ,,,,, run 6" further wide ,,,, so it could have been worse. Not many bikers can say they walked away from a head on crash with a cage Stonsie, fwiw I'd also be almost "pleased" with those injuries & points.! Big respect for your mates, ...

Yesterday I decided to take a run abroad and head into Wales... I have to say come last knockings late afternoon it is a joy to ride these roads, so much less traffic. However back into England, not only do we have a million new signs up saying 20 MPH, you are ...

Took the Triumph out of for a good rip around, Not sure I mentioned it before, but the QS is broke!! Booked in for a replacement. I have to say I am spoilt now, having a QS for up/down through the box is very missed. Still a fun ride . I do enjoy this bike, it really gets you engaged with the ...

... to ask how my week went. I laughed and asked if he was serious... he was. I opened up and told him about the VP and he didn't have anything to say. Needless to say I'm very much looking forward to my interview on Tuesday.

... someone else's request because they are on long term sick.. f*ck no am I doing that!!! "but I don't see what the problem is.." they say. This is all to order something off the back of a VDU assessment, I shouldn't have to be doing any of this as the H&S manager is responsible, ...

... a 1500-mile trip or something ridiculously long and he wasn't sure about the charging infrastructure, layover time while charging, etc. I wouldn't say it was common practice.
