f**k it, does any one else have their actions questioned, bet upon or scrutinised, cus at the moment my current situation regarding the rally, seems to be. I DONT FECKIN LIE, there's no point. If I don't want to do something, believe me I'll say so or keep quite so as not to hurt others feelings for what ever reason. Possibly over reacting but then not having a sounding block to release any pressure, things have a habit of boiling up and finally blowing. Nuff said

should be

I am cautious on the roads, more so because of the sheer number of vehicles and proportionally greater number of idiot road users. I don't care how big my chicken strips are or how fast I can take corners, my sense of self preservation is foremost! here here !!!!!!!!

Thanks Al, appreciate the thought. Like I say, leave it with me and I`ll see what happens nearer the time.

I`m allergic to pain so I`ve always been a tad cautious, and as time rolls on, any pain, however received, takes longer to go away. Plus I`m more concerned about damaging the bike than me, they cost a lot of feckin money to repair, (daft I know, but hey..........that`s me and at 50, the cast is set) So, in a nut shell, I realised at a very early age that I ain`t going to push myself to the point where I may have to feel pain, I do sometimes, but that's when I`m feeling the devil escape, lol

I`ll push it with the Boss that I leave a little earlier on Friday night. No one will be here but you can bet someone will ring up at normal going home time and then tell them the office was closed. Either that or ride over on the Saturday, make an early start and watch all you lot suffering from Friday nights binge. And yes Bob, you are right, I do need a break away with some good drinking buddies and like bikers. and thanks a lot for the offers of carrying and pitching the tent. Leave it with me.

Good idea Al but I don`t do flying / rushing about. I heard you won Saturday, is the next game the final ????

well...my fears have just been realised. Having just discussed our annual leave, it would seem that my two bosses have booked their holidays abroad on the same dates, well nearly. One leaves on the 11th and the other on the 15th. Queenie, my work colleague is booked on a computer course on the 15th so If I was to take the day off to travel to the venue, the office would have to shut down. The Monday is also a problem as I will be the only one in who can deal with the clients queries so no travelling back on that date either. I did say I had made arrangements but as I`m not flying any where and no fee for a work course has been paid, I`m obviously the most flexible. They have offered me an extra days leave for the inconvenience so looks like I`ll be missing this years Jamboree AGAIN. Feckin hell, I`ve just been out and brought a new air bed, sleeping bag and was toying with getting a new tent at the weekend, good job I left that a week. Also had the bike serviced so the long journey would feel extra safe and joined roadside rescue just in case anything did go tits up. I could try and get down on the Saturday but I don`t want to travel back on the Sunday with a hell of a hang over, I felt like shite the other Sunday after doing so. f**k, f**k, f**k. Stu- stick the tenner behind the bar for a drink or put it towards the forum running costs.

Happy birthday Steve, hope you have a good un

Should be there till about 8.00ish

Happy birthday Ian.

Happy birthday Mandy, hope you`re doing something good today and Bob`s going to take you out for a slap up meal tonight.

It was pretty busy last week but that sounds a bit busier.

Sounds like a good night, was there anything special on last night ?????

Sorry mate, another week.

Nor me. My Brother is playing bowls down at Brampton and I`m going along to give him some support.

Nice one Bex. Well done

Been and gone mate, left just around 8.10ish

Turned the key too far when i locked it up and it kept the lights on. Parking mode I`m guessing. Done it before so know the routine.

will be there if the battery has charged OK. Missed my ride into work this morning so looking forward to the ride out tonight. According to sign on road. Hartford marina opens in August. May just be in time for a couple of meets there.

Happy birthday Dave, Have a great day and get some bevvies down ya neck.

You knicked my answer joe. Seriously, had this happen quite often, I have two jackets I can use. Dry it out naturally in a draft in the sun light. I hang mine in the window with the top vent open, then treat with leather geinie. It brings the leather back to being suple and gives some degree of water proofing.

good point Dave, I`ll look into it.

Thanks Cat, do you have a link or their details Ta

Ok mate, dry here, I'll be at wheels around 10.30ish. Pissing weather. I take it Darren knows.
