Office machine service technician who cycles and takes photos in between customers and in free time. Apparently cycling too fast and too slow at the same time.

Reminds me of a song, "Kids on the range", open.spotify.com/track/4KJcgC...
They sit in my seat and they tap me for cash
And it seems like the phone's never free
There’s dirty cups on the carpet and half-filled mugs in the hall
And there’s crumbs where the biscuits should be
They sit in my seat and they tap me for cash
And it seems like the phone's never free
There’s dirty cups on the carpet and half-filled mugs in the hall
And there’s crumbs where the biscuits should be

Seems fair, I mean he has "Edited the war" to change it's tone, so yeah. I reckon 25 billion, from him PERSONALLY.

One does wonder what "channel" DFDS are using for their broadcast source if motorsport is followed by watersports (or something) I'm assuming it wasn't on Sky Sports... Some dodgy pirate source perhaps, seing as they are a seafaring vessel it would be appropriate.

It was, first week was worst. 5 weeks off work (as I drove customer to customer), then forced back onto "light ditues", forced my me as I couldn't hand in my notice to leave (and move to Norway) while on sick leave.
It was not that long after the Buncefield oil depot explosion, which destroyed..

So not a case of "getting your leg over" other than over the arm of a chair, on a table etc etc.
God bedring, hope it heals well.
Last op I had was by the tip of my tailbone, so sitting was unadvisable for a while after.

The follow in at 5:45 there is brutal, but watch a few secs more and the 2 drivers shake hands,

I grew up going to regular Stock car meeting in Scotland (Cowdenbeath Racewall is still my fave track) but when I moved to London this was the best I could find... The Essex Driver mentality showed through, they went in HARD.

The old "If you plead guilty, you'll get a lighter sentence, when they find you guilty it'll be more" advice might have helped too.
Unless their lawyer actually thought they had a chance to win...
... Oh wait it was Essex, so I guess they did.

I think i's become worse since they closed the Essex Arena Raceway where at least some of them could release their pent up agression in stock car racing... They seem to have simply moved over to the public roads.
Never went there often, but those guys were nuts, some of the biggest hits I've seen.

As soon as they decline, "So you admit the pass was dangerous, great, GUILTY."

They'd never be allowed to do that as the Elf and Safety guys would never allow a bus to pass them that closely....
.... That in itself should be enough to get a guilty result...

I went 2 years without realising it, so it's easy done. Heading home and brakes suddenly died, both of them, stopped at local bike shop, he took one look and said "Erm, I see the problem", straight into where I bought it the next day. Manager was embarrased by what his staff had done.

This may sound stupid, but the lever is on the right way up ? When I bought my bike I asked them to swap the left/right brake levers for me, I'v just used to back brake on left, clown in the bike shop flipped handlebar, so the reservoir was upside down. Worked fine for 2 yrs, then it didn't

I seem to recall doing mine twice, first time I hadn't pushed the pads/caliper out fully while the top valve was open, and there was still some air.
Been fine since. Maybe try a 2nd bleeding, if it goes again, you might have a tiny pinhole somewhere.

Oh I know it's designed to do that. Each part that takes a blow, then fails, absorbs some of the forces that would otherwise be transferred to a driver very securely strapped into the carbon fibre monocoque.

How was the driver meant to know there was a "Low Bridge" there ?
The woman out in her PJs and dressing gown really sets the scene beautifully.

Somehow the woman in her PJs and dressing gown getting a photo simply makes the scene.
