What have you done today thread?

[Yorick]

Forgot my phone, which is also my wallet and I don't know if I can make it home on the amount of petrol I have. I hope so, as I don't have a phone to call anyone out if I don't!

Borrow an old fashioned £10 note from a colleague

[gremlin]

Keeping a tenner under the seat, or in a side pocket of your jacket, can be a really good idea.

Ditto hiding a front door key somewhere near your gaff.

S'all I'm saying.

Got an unexpected offer of a cuppa from the Gremlinette.

Still waiting 2 hours later...

The Keys for my (wife's) Bonnie have a £20 note in a little holder. Mrs D gave it to her Dad cause he was always getting stuck somewhere on his broken down bike.

The twenty quid note in there does date from about 2001 though

I've got 200 quid in my back pocket, pop round and I'll gladly lend you a tenner

All my bike jackets, tank bags, backpacks etc have a stash of change for coffees and emergencies.

I always used to keep a £10 note in my toolkit or under a side panel etc, but haven't bothered in recent years. TBF its the first time i've ever forgotten my phone and I fill up every 3rd day, so even with forgetting it the odds were still in my favour. Ho hum...

I just checked my bike jacket pockets and there is a total of 3 quid in there. On the X-ADV that will get me teh 30 miles home easy.

that's enough for about a litre and a half... I seen to remember at one time most pumps had a minimum vend amount of 2 litres...

I personally don't own a phone or a wallet. Luckily for me though, cash is king. Even if it just a fiver, I always have some cash on me. And my shed keys. If I was lucky enough to be out but unlucky enough to run out of petrol I have breakdown cover but no phone. It makes life more exciting.

You don't have a phone?

Wtf do you do when you go for a shit?

Pff, where you been man, inflation is down partly fuelled (no pun intended ) by a drop in petrol prices. Taipan clearly knows this, 'cause his £3 will get him more than 2 litres now.

I generally sit on the toilet and let nature take its toll.

If I feel that the experience is going to be drawn out, I may take a copy of the periodical magazine booklet "The Chap" along with me for the ride.

A jolly good read for when one is taking his ablutions. More entertaining than one of those dreadful mobile telephone machines.

In answer to my last post above, I sometimes take my pipe and enjoy a good shag whilst sitting on the toilet. In a gentlemanly way.

Today I have done my back a mischief

Currently sitting with a hot water bottle behind me. I have also just sneezed which was agony.

Got on the bike and teh low fuel warning was on, so I knew I wasn't making it home! Gentle bimble to the texaco garage on The Highway where £3 got me over 2 litres and it put me 2 bars on the fuel gauge. Made it home just as it went to 1 bar. Phone collected and tanked brimmed ready for next Wednesday. Phew!
