Autobiography by Carrie Fisher.

IIRC (not read it, from an interview when published) it refers to a casting couch episode she endured.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:

I saw dry roads and the sun poking its head through the clouds this morning and I was tempted to take the mighty MT09 to work! But then i thought about salty roads and the need to move 3 vehicles off the drive to get the gates open to get the bike out and went on the scoot instead. Can't bloody wait to get back on the MT though! Shortest day of the year today, so the nights are drawing out now... 8-)

Shortest day of the year, but also, officially, the first day of winter. :(

Had a short ride out yesterday to test my heated gloves. Should have been a test ride on another bike, but as usual the bike dealerships turn out to be useless cnuts. Was quite nice actually, about 7/8 deg and the roads fairly dry. All tucked away again now though and the wet and dull returns.
