... the environment while the energy used to create the electricity is fossil fuels - I'm not sure why know one seems to realise this. I realise I'm getting off-topic so I'll shut up now. :)

Sunday opening is all about getting more for less from the population. I don't know the answer to this but are Sunday hours now considered just a regular working day and so no extra pay for staff who work on that day? The system is running ...

... like policy changes - no admin fees when I moved, for example, the only ones that didn't charge me - and have been pretty easy with regard to getting documents, recognising no claims etc. My one to avoid would be MCE. Absolutely **** useless.

5 mile tempo run last night, felt really good.

Got to cycle into work today as the cage failed it's mot and it's a bit icy so don't fancy ask the hassle of getting the bike out for a 7 mile journey.

Fitted my quick action throttle on to the zx10 was lucky the cables matched up perfectly. But bloody hell it took some getting on i can tell the engine is low in the frame as the throttle bodies are just a pain in the bum to get to. Just about got the air-box on before my hands started ...

Like others have said that is very quick thinking about getting a pic of the van. I'd love to think I'd be able to think that clearly when having someone barrage me with questions when I wasn't prepared for it. Personally I'd go to the police report ...

Could be worse you could be talking to car insurance company, bike insurance company and private health care insurance companies and getting no where as all 3 seperate companies are equally as w@nk as each other

... Hardest months work I have ever done. I'm much happier teaching in an adult education environment as the majority of them want to be there or are getting paid to be there and jobs are on the line, makes for a very motivated classroom. As for meeting you every interview night, well you can't put ...

... behind... :( all rebuilt now except now my rear huggger is now touching the tyre... and I cannot get the left footpeg to catch on (you know... getting the thread started)... so Im stuck with driving and scratching my head until I can sort this :( I can't take being off the bike much longer!!!!!

I've replaced the damaged hardware so just have to patch the fairing up. Be a couple of days work if I could get to it. Seems like I may be back in the house with in the next month so it'll be easier to get work done on the bikes.

When you getting the green beast back on track ?

... rusty when I get back on it, but last week's bimble from the mother in law's showed me that I wasn't too wobbly. It's just going to be a matter of getting back into it gradually, and not just jumping into a Peak District ride with Monty or a filtering session with Kwacky!

He hasn't ridden a bike since then. Me and Perkles know a lad who did exactly the same thing, same track, same place, same injuries ...

... in hospital for a few days with head injuries and has since fainted multiple times from little things like knocking his head on a door fame when getting out of the car. He hasn't ridden a bike since then. Definitely handy, he taught me so much about working on bikes etc. What do you call it?

Very nice bike. I keep getting tempted to buy a 675R even though I thought I'd had enough of sports bikes. But it just looks so good.

... than 30 before so might start trying to go heavier on those too Night off the gym tonight, I'm eaxhausted after leaving for work before 7am and getting home after 8pm

Excuse the ignorance, but is there much of a difference when you're working on shore to off shore, or is it a case of getting your head down and working the same way? I guess it's different for everybody, but mentally I find it a huge difference. Although I have been out here just ...
