One thing that winds me up is when people push a motorcycle around when stood to the right of the bike & let it lean to the left so that the side stand holds the bike up.If for some reason the stand flicks up the bikes leaning away from them :wtf:
When I manouvre the bike,I always stand on the same side as the sidestand so that the bike's leaning into me should the stand flick up.

We were in a supermarket two weeks before the schools / colleges broke up and they had the back-to-school aisles set up....

Everywhere. The neighbour's cat had been in earlier and for a time suspicion pointed in that direction. :think:

The night before last my Sky box told me that it wasn't receiving a satellite signal. Checked no plants had grown in the path of the signal since watching the gogglebox the night before...nada.

Did the 'unplug it for 10 seconds' routine. No joy.

Did the trouble shooting guide and selected 'Restart box'. 20 minutes later...nada.

Still wasn't working last night. Not the first time the service has been flaky.

However, yesterday evening I looked on my Virgin Media app and saw that I could add the basic telly package, which is more or less the same as Sky's*, for a fiver a month, plus a one-off £35 fee. A quick look in the bank shows I'm paying £51 a month for Sky's 'Pauper Package'. WTF? My bad for not keeping an eye on it.

Anyhow, VM box winging its way to me. :thumbup:

*PBS America! U&Yesterday! 5Star! GREAT Romance!, Al Jazeera! Sony SAB! Islam Channel Urdu! Wow...what a cornucopia of entertainment pleasure awaits.

It's not too terrible, but the wind is fair whipping the clouds across the sky, it's warm enough when the sun finds a clear patch, but I fear it won't be long until the long argument over when the winter duvet gets to come out will start.

Yebbut, flogging said shite items earlier ensures a more profitable income stream for the shop.
