Re: What do you want to vent about today?

It's time for a bike change - Cornish is on the hunt again..

... day out on the bike today. What fun. It's a missile so have to be careful. Having reset the suspension to standard it's a better ride for the time being. Spent a lot of time in 1st and 2nd as advised so sprockets next job then. Hope others had a good time too. Cornish. http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20160410/7c17fabe1effb3f14575b4185d34f20d.jpg ...

Impossible to calculate the cost of.....an armed force costs an indeterminable amount whether it is sitting on it's arse or storming the beaches.....it's a Mars Bar....costs a quid whether you eat it or not.

Re: We are being taken for mugs

I have no problem paying the higher rate of tax but would prefer for my taxes to be spent on schools, hospitals, roads, fire service, police etc. Not spending billions on wars and bailing out bankers
