Been to Narbonne today. Mandy wanted some new shoes and we needed to get some food shopping done. Tomorrow's plan is to cycle to the next town for lunch to celebrate our first anniversary here. Got wine and beer in, to continue the celebrations when we get home! Sunday? No plans yet, but Mandy's got to leave home at 4am Monday morning to take the TGV to Paris for a meeting, so I don't suppose we'll be partying on Sunday!5 points

You gain nothing on going full at it on the weekend. I have learned to continue asking clients for questions, over and over if needed, simplifying requests until there is no chance of a misunderstanding.5 points

You know, some people procrastinate when asking for stuff like that and leave it to when they feel is the last time, and usually that happens to be the end of the week. Just leave it to monday, two days isn't much and enjoy a day off.5 points

October 2016 or 2017, coming back from Morocco: night time, tired, hungry and cold arriving in Lisbon in the rain, my more than half worn Heidenau K60 on a loaded bike letting me know at every motorway offramp and expansion joint why they are known to be shit in the rain. I swear I thought we were going down every time I had to put the slightest amount of lean into a corner.4 points

Going too fast on my CX500 on a dual carriageway, saw a queue and started braking, brakes not up to it so carried on down the middle still braking like mad, reckon I passed about 15 cars before I got to the speed I should have been filtering at. Riding into the Blackwall Tunnel when a metal hub cap came flying at my face from traffic going the opposite way. I jerked my head so quickly to avoid getting knocked out I had a bad neck for about a week afterwards. On my GPz750 late at night, I came flying round a corner on a dual carriageway hill in town. Two cars had stopped for no apparent reason so I braked and came to a nice controlled stop. Looking in my mirror I saw a Ford XR3 Turbo thing with all its wheels locked up screeching up behind me. I clenched everything and it stopped gently touching my number plate.4 points

Ive come off on the Portway! Although you skilfully executed a saving manoeuvre after suffering mechanical failure where as I ungraciously tipped off my bike coming to a stop I was so embarrassed, Id only been riding a week or so and really hadn’t mastered the slow control needed to filter in that environment but decided to man up and go down the centre of the two lanes anyway then the gap closed, I did some pretty incompetent braking and toppled off in the centre of the two lanes. Then it got scary because the traffic started moving again and no feckers stopped, they were driving around me either side at increasing speed as the traffic cleared and I couldnt pick the bike up because the cars were squeezing by so close. In the end I managed to get it upright, I half closed my eyes expecting to get hit by a car but somehow it was dandy and the bike was fine but my god I felt a prize prat, a lucky undamaged prize prat but way up there on the Richter scale of a dumbquake4 points

I see that Boris has done a U-turn and is now allowing foreign workers to come back to work in the abbatoirs. I hope they don't employ any ex French fishermen or we'll all be poisoned4 points

I ran out of brakes on my Gilera SP180 approaching a set of traffic lights on the Portway in Bristol . At the time they were doing roadworks so I rammed all the temporary road bollards to slow down, scattering them in all directions. These bollards were the big 3 foot tall jobs, feck me they hurt my bloody hands but did the job. I got some real dirty looks from the car drivers all around me4 points

I was at college in Lewisham, SE London during the winter of '76/'77. It was a bitterly cold day and during the late afternoon there was a bit of snow started to fall, so I decided to bail out of college and head for home in Kent. I was on my RD350B and the journey started OK, but as it went on the snow got worse. By the time I got to about 10 miles from home I was riding in the ruts left by cars, with both feet down! My visor wouldn't stay open because of the ice on my lid and I couldn't ride with the visor down because it was steamed up and the snow was just sticking to it. In the end I ripped the visor off and slung it. My mum and dad lived at the bottom of a hill on a housing estate. I took a look at the hill when I got there and decided that I'd leave the bike at the top of the hill and walk the last bit home. The journey, which normally took me about 30-40 minutes had taken not short of 1.5hrs and I was frozen to the marrow by the time I got home.3 points

Her mail was full of garbled shit not clearly explaining the functionality she wants! For example, she wants a registration system! Now that's easy enough.....but what does she want it for? Like what can registered users do that unregistered users can't? No good asking for a registration system without explaining the reason for it! No doubt it'll be some stupid, complicated bullshit that she wants to hide at the moment until she gets a rough cost. Then after getting the cost she'll say......"Well I thought that was included". I know all the fucking strokes and the "playing dull" routines they use.3 points

relaxing while working until now, after lunch I might wash the bike and go for a short ride to dry it properly, as the weather is very nice. Later having dinner with my neighbors, and tomorrow going for a short ride around, maybe.2 points

I've probably told this before, but just in case I haven't. A well known character I worked with bought a house cheaply because of the shocking state it was in. He added an extra level in the roof and extended the basement out the back, the place was huge when it was finished. Next door was the Bishop of Stepney's official residence, huge garden full of old fonts I recall. It ended up worth a small fortune and he was very proud of it. The well known character came wandering in to our office and my boss at the time shouted out, Boss: Oi Grouty, I hear your house value has dropped down. Grouty: What do you mean? Boss: I see in the papers that there has been a new Bishop appointed. Grouty: So? Boss: Well he's a black bloke. Grouty: You're talking out of your arse, what difference does that make? He's a man of God AND a Bishop. Boss: Well yes, he is, no denying that, but you're not telling me that you won't be bringing your car stereo in at night from now on.2 points
