Popeye's Chicken is light years better that KFC. Then again, I'm not much into either of them.

Flytipping, I came back from the supermarket by the more scenic route and every layby or quiet road had piles of stuff dumped. (swear)

Most of the council tips are open again too in this area so there's no excuse.

Out for a nice early hike, 6am, could not believe how many people were out as well.... this is my time feck off!!!
By the time I left to go home the car parks were shut, due to being filled up.

Drive back, Jesus, i understand people wanting to get out on push bikes, but for feck sake, if you are seriously unfit and wobble all over the road, please, please pick some back roads to ride! not national speed limit roads which are busy......

Rant over, beer drunk, time for some food and and snooze! and the constant Bobs burgers on Comedy extra lol....

The que at Halfords (swear)

Every time I go there is 2 or 3 people in the queue with a bike and they take 10 minutes each explaining their problem.


I'm click and collect, pre paid so 1 minute for collection, as are probably 5 other guys in the que.

Makes sense to have 2 queues. One for technical enquiries / workshop and the other for collections. Its not fooking rocket science is it (devil)

If I ever get them, yes. Been in the queue 30 minutes and they've served 3 people.

Couldn't organise a p1ss up in a brewery this lot.

I don't understand why you didn't have them posted. They have to move the stock to get it to your local branch so why not cut out the hassles and just get it posted directly to you?

A twat on a ktm superduke or something like that came past me so close when I was out cycling he almost knocked me off
7 of them riding down the road like a bunch of chavs ,I was so startled I didnt get his reg ,if they would have been traffic lights I would have kicked him off his bike
I have to say the biking community let themselves down badly today ,loads out in large groups standing around chatting in layby etc
