Double wave of thanks from both driver and passenger of cars when you let them pass.

Double wave FTW.

I've had the opposite experience.

It's all great posting up pictures and memories of what the Mrs and I have been upto.

Not so much fun after the relationship breaks down and FB keeps reminding me.


Making me happy today......

My parents are on their way with their camper for a few days at the campsite where I work.

I get double the joy from my parents: the joy when they arrive and the joy when they leave.

While I work today I had need to set up a decking ready for arrival, chairs and table cleaned, sunloungers arranged etc. While I was at it a lady wandered over from next door (Not one of my guests):

Her " sorry to be cheeky, but my husband has already left with the bin, do you have one I could empty this dustpan into please?"

Me "Yeah, sure, just chuck it in the back of the buggy, I'll take it to the bins later"

Her " Ohh thanks, thats a great help....... we've got some food left over, much of it fresh in the packet, I don't want to just throw it away"

Me " Say no more, I will gladly take that off your hands, I can't stand waste"

A reasonable amount of food and not a small amount of beers. Some open packets of cheese, and I know that would put some people off, but I'm not too proud.

The only downside is I haven't had a drink for nearly a week and I was hoping to keep it going, but now I have a load of cold beers in the fridge.....

Hence the many many

My son living in Perth Australia hangs with folk who get their kicks from marathon running and the like. He recently finished his first 100k run! I have no idea why anyone would want to do that to themselves,but it's some achievement anyway.

Just pratting about on DVLA MOT checks.
My first GSXR1000 from 2001 had it's final pass in 2011. I'm amazed as it was shagged when I part-exd it in 2003. About 50 trackdays.

When I sold it in 2003 it had 29,000 miles. In 2011 it had 14,000 miles
.
Hardly did any miles after 2006

My Son just rang to tell me he's passed his class 1 hgv test. He doesn't need to do it as he's a transport manager not a driver, but I guess he wants to walk the walk as well as talk the talk, so to speak. He suffers from anxiety and yet he feels the need to push himself through these things? I guess its the wins that help? Anyway, super proud of him.

I remember you posting about how the anxiety pushed him to the edge. Glad things have turned around

Just checked Bradford weather forecast

4c tmrw night

While on the MOT thing.

Our SL passed it's MOT yesterday... despite the EML being on for a failed NOX Sensor.

It's great having a BiL who is the landlord of an MOT garage

I do have a NOX sensor (cheap Chinese copy), just not got around to rolling around under the car trying to fit it.

We might have to sell it soon, the wife has a new job with a longer commute that might make make it a bit expensive to run. If we do, I'll really miss it. It's the fastest, most premium car I've ever owned.

Eos passed the MOT today too, and it was reported that the stupid brake sensor cable has been broken. Pads are fine, despite the warning light on the dash.

Mrs Ds 2006 Honda Shitvic with 150k also passed its MOT...4th clean pass in a row

Once again the MoT tester described it as "a good little motor".

Whilst staying with mates over the weekend, I joined in a group ride with the club they are part of (FFMC - I knew it was French Federation of Motards, just never knew the C was for Angry Motards )

Anyway, a great day was had by all (apart from a fuckwit Blade rider ) and when my mate was chatting to them after I'd left this morning, he mentioned I was heading home and the guy he was talking to said - "Donne toute nos bon sentiments à ton amie, une personne très gentille et très agréable. On lui souhaite un bon retour, en espérant la revoir très vite" ( or "Give all our good wishes to your friend, a very nice and pleasant person. We wish her a safe journey home, and hope to see her again very soon.")

How lovely


Mind you, not sure this one knows that the three of us (well, me!!) christened one of the guys "Unicorn Boy" cos I wasn't introduced but we chatted a lot and he had a unicorn hat on as part of his fancy dress
