... and thought that was fast with good handling and brakes. Until it got uncomfortable and I replaced it with a Datytona 650 and joined this forum.

All good for your next appraisal

Fingers crossed your appraisal goes to something!

Trying to get everything lined up for the next few days, as it looks like I'm going to be busy. So much so I've had to cancel next Friday's day off. Tomorrow I'm the only one in and we've got a conference with a QC. I know he's going to want a ...

... called Splugen nearby and then having a night of laughs, food and beers in a traditional Swiss sky resort. Then the ride over Splugen pass the next day. Epic. Riding round the outside of 4 cars and a van on Windy corner at the IOM last September.

... to go down when you save it. Result? No back up if it fails to save and no way of recovering it. I saved a file I worked on into my directory. The next day I went to open it and it told me the file path doesn't exist. So I thought no problem, go to recent documents. Nope, not there. Ongoing saves ...

Work is a bit mental at the moment. I might have to go to Liverpool on Monday, which means spending most of Sunday preparing for it. I'm supposed to have next Friday off but my boss has already asked me if I'm doing anything important on that date, which means I'm not having my day off.

... guys by the Translogic website - many of these dealers replied with 'sorry but that person isn't actually in today they are on holiday back next week, they can tell you all about it when they are back!' The last place I tried the guy turned around and said 'he's just popped out but I can ...

Training for the next grading in Taekwondo

It's only a few weeks away.

My hand hasn't healed so I can't do the tournament event this weekend, which is a shame as I was looking forward to it.

I found out today that the British team have been looking for a black belt light heavyweight for the squad. That's what Alex is.

They're off to Florida next Spring for a UK v USA team event.

Shame he quit. Oh well.

Next November 11th will be a Hundred years since Armistice, and the ending of the "war to end all wars"... How much our world has learned & changed. & yet.. How little our world has learned or changed... ...

... the moment don't fancy buying new shocks or anythong, may get it set up at some point but not yet. QS is an idea but maybe I'll have to wait until next year as that's quite pricy for the moment, I wouldn't want to go cheap on something that's to do with gears personally. A happy medium would be ...

Patel should have been sacked, as should Fallon and Boris next. Weak is not the word and a total embarrassment.

Can you imagine the press if John McDonald had been caught out covertly meeting the Palestinians on his summer holidays?

booking my next lot of exams for 1st week in Dec, hoping I get through them OK, took me 11 months to get through the 1st course, IF I pass these it will have been 2 months, hoping it means I can start the last section and get fully qualified early next year.

fingers crossed I pass now

... to get to uni. We expressed our concern to the Lecturer who said, "I'll extend it by 1 week". Really?! 1 week?! We receive an email the next day said that he'd spoken to our course leader who didn't see the issue and that we should all travel into Uni after work :@ I spent about 4 hours ...
