La vache espagnole Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 I need to get this off my chest... Saturday morning: Found myself served with a Summons for driving without due care and attention 🙆🏻. Yes, I had a crash with another car 😳, my own stupid fault, gross error of judgement and all that - taught me a lesson . Still, I thought it was done and dusted and didn't expect it to come rearing up out of the grave 3 1/2 months down the line. Felt miserable. ☹️ Saturday noon: Went to Penn Sevens meet to lift my spirits. Felt a bit better. Saturday afternoon: Watched my football team lose. What's more a dire game, rating zero on the entertainment scale. Felt downright miserable. ☹️ ☹️ Saturday evening: Took a train to Reading to visit a few pubs with some mates. Sorrows suitably drenched if not drowned 😳 , got back to Maidenhead station to find some 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 low-life had stolen my bicycle from the shed. What a perfect day, wish I'd stayed in bed... 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 🙆🏻 (oh, I'd better add that I intended to walk home anyway, I wouldn't ride after all that beer.) To cap it all I had the hangover from hell on Sunday. ☹️ 😳 ☹️ [feeling-sorry-for-myself rant over] Should I change my name to Ratty after that outburst...

Rachael Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 ☹️ ☹️ sounds like a pretty poor weekend... I don't think anyone will mind you having had a moan about it...was the bike insured? Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boonie Hound Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 Sorry to hear about your bike and day - but at least you have got a cool hat to keep your head warm when you are walking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La vache espagnole Posted September 1, 2003 Author Share Posted September 1, 2003 Mmm... Thanks for the crisps Rach and the kind words everyone. No, the bike wasn't insured; it was fairly old and not worth a great deal but we'd been a long way together... It's more the fact that someone should think somebody else's possessions are theirs to take that gets my goat (no, no-one stole my goat, I don't have a goat - nor, much as I'd love one, a moosheep...). 🙆🏻 Mmm , that's better Oh, thanks for the toffee, ewenm.

Cooper nut Posted September 1, 2003 Share Posted September 1, 2003 *thumbdown*That sucks If this makes you feel better last week my alternator went, bad enough so I got a new one and fitted it. I then found it was the wrong one so had to fit a another, when I then cranked the engine I found that I hadn't tighten the bolts enough so the belt slipped and I had to re-fit it again. After it was all finally complete I took the car out on saturday and the alternator belt snapped at least after this the RAC fitted a new one so it saved me a job You're only suppose to blow the blo*dy doors off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rachael Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Crikey, if she did, you'd have to be careful not to stand too close to her 😬 Actually if you wanted her to have some, I am sure Alex would be able to superglue some to her head for you Rach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewenm Posted September 2, 2003 Share Posted September 2, 2003 Would any song do 🤔 Or does it have to be a certain length 🤔 I guess Queen's "I want to ride my bicycle" would be appropriate Seems like a good deal to me 😬 69600 miles and counting...
