He's never looked well, even when he was young. But you're right, it looked like the hospital sent him home so he could say his farewells

... his phone and read the unedited version, and slagged him off some more. And now it's all over the news & transcripted on the web, no doubt even more so than if they had just left it alone. That. Is. Fantastic.

... they're going to sort the fork but haven't. They also lost my £5/600 shock.. so a new top spec fork as a replacement should be sufficient I think even then you are letting them off too lightly. You already bought a complete bike. That failed. I still find it ridiculous that because they couldn't ...

... cost you money. if they couldn't provide a like for like then either a refund or upgrade at their cost. The losing your parts is beyond belief. Even then, they should have come to you with, "opps, we've done this, but we can sort it like this" not you having to push it with them. That's ...

Yup.. home insurance rocketed for us too.

What really takes the piss is that my Dad pays less for all his insurances despite everything being much higher value... £90k car, £350k house, etc, etc. Even his energy bills are less. When you have money, everything is cheaper.

... Anyway, hopefully you had a quiet shift. Nah you got me at the latter part of the day itself. And it has been reasonably quiet for me today, even got to watch the motoGP at lunchtime, so win win. And as it's friday, fish and chips for dinner. I've had worse birthdays (lol) Looking forward ...

Braverman has gone, apparently.

That'll further split Tory voters. It may even trigger a leadership contest.

... for my parents, then De-Farkling my neighbours S1000XR, he's only had it a year but when he took it to Scotland it was a literal pain in the arse even with the comfort seat... He's had a ride on the new 1300GS and fell for it immediately, they're collecting the XR tomorrow, he gets his new bike ...

Ah, it's only the sx.. I reckon it's a message that you should get another bike..

If it was the MV that would have been a divorce, even in a dream

Yeah they're a chunky bike alright and the Adventure even more so with 30 litres of fuel, but I have ridden one and handled it just fine. The one I have ordered is the older 1250. The 1300 is a bit lighter and easier to lift off the stand but I remember ...

... before, but that S1000R is such a good bike, really had fun on it today. Going off onto roads that I have not ridden for ages on the bike, made it even more fun.
