We had a nice evening last night. Went to our first GUI Test team meal. Hayfa did us a Malaysian meal. Vegetable curry, rice cakes, some nice potato fritter thingies, peanut sauce and some other yummy things. It’s the first time in ages that I’ve had a good discussion. We talked about all sorts of… Read More »
I had an incident free weekend. Oh, yeah, except for the RTI I was rather central to.
Woo, got Storm back this morning. £229.63 IIRC, to straighten the forks, replace the rear tyre, replace a brake lever and put it through the MOT (which it passed) including labour. A bit better than £750 for the forks alone. The choke is still sticky, though. He forgot I’d asked him to look at that.… Read More »
Had a complete ‘mare last week. On top of having my bike cover stolen, my worst fears over Storm’s service were confirmed. I rode down to Chichester, and was given a complete hunk of junk of a Honda CB500 to ride back. “It’s got some petrol in it, apparently”. I took that as “it’s not… Read More »
I don’t know why I used that horrific Americanism, period. Too late, no retractions. Last night I had an experience which made me lose all respect for humanity. I woke up around 3.30am and, being paranoid, made my customary out-of-window survey of Storm. Something wasn’t quite right. She was there, but I could see something… Read More »
Today I have not achieved a great deal. I have suffered a failed sale my panniers, but have another potential sale with somebody else. For those who do not know, I have been on a selling spree. I’ve so far sold some Java books and a pair of inline skates. I’m also trying to sell… Read More »
Afternoon. A lovely weekend. I did middle-aged, middle-class things like getting sunburned while cleaning my bike and cutting the grass with my shirt off. It’s still nice now, and I didn’t really want to come back from lunch. I had a phone call from Mum this morning about an email she’d had from a friend… Read More »
Hello. I wrote a nice long update for this a while ago and forgot to save it. d’oh. Of course, I can’t remember anything that happened in that post so it will have to go with me to the grave. More recently (i.e. a short enough period in the past that my deficient memory can… Read More »
Well it’s been a while since I updated, so I’d better do it now. I’m at work an hour early, because I had to drop Hannah off at the station so she could go to work. Freezing it is, hmm? There was frost on the saddle, and Storm took ages to warm up. Teach me… Read More »
I am Adam, most powerful man in the universe! Well, maybe not. He-Man. Been looking at http://www.80snostalgia.com/ again. Anyway, a quick rundown of my weekend. I rode up to Birmingham on thursday night and then Hannah and I went to the Peak District on Friday. We were going to go to Litton for a walk,… Read More »
