The most glamorous British bike racer of all time. Nobody seemed to care.

But over in the wanker forum, folk are fighting and arguing as though their lives depend on it.

Politics seems more important than bikes on here.
You are in that section enough. Its been mentioned before, why go in just to whine about it?

Same here and the reason I stopped reading the box-set thread, suggestions tend to be on one of the many subscription services I don't have.

It's had an intermittent airbag warning come on the last few months, usually when it rains heavily. Yesterday the tax ran out and Mrs Gremlin loves to leave things to the eleventh hour.

Fuck me if the warning didn't pop up when she took it for the test. Garage booked it in for Tuesday to see if they can find the issue. Hoping it's a dodgy sensor or summat simple.

I think the ol' girl might have to be put out to pasture soon. 11 years and 100k miles of being a rolling office, warehouse and kennel have taken their toll.

Leaving optimate leads on the bikes you've sold. I dread to think how many of the things I've bought again. :roll:

BT.

I have a BT Sport subscription for Motogp and sometimes it's convenient to watch racing on the minibox in another room.

BT say that'll be an extra £10 per month for the pleasure.

Thieving dogs. I hope the new set up after the buyout of BT sport and Eurosport in July,is a bit less of a rip off.

How on earth do they police that? Is the subscription on a 'per device' basis, not per household? I'd be talking to some 'in the know' IT people about ways round that.

BT break everything down to squeeze out a few more quid. You want HD,that's extra. You want to watch on another box,that's extra.

Yeah I did (albeit mainframe IT), but isn't it possible to spoof addresses and ids? I know that's one of the way hackers gain unauthorised access.

The easy way is to just store local tokens for each login, new login with different token? New device: kerching!

House alarms. A house up the road has had an alarm going since about 4pm. 20 minutes, then it stops for a couple of minutes and starts again. Not the first time it's happened either.

It's 7.15, not 6.14 which was the time on my post. weeksy not put the clock forward an hour and I've not noticed for a week?
