Took my wee Yamaha YBR 125 into Elgin for my eye test, bought a couple of books from a charity shop. Now back home trying to warm up. Still freezing and wet up here. Having a glass or two of white wine and going to watch John Wick 2.
Pretended to be Lazarus and got out of my Manbola bed this morning as I needed to pay a visit to the building society. Idly wandered past the jewellers on the walk back to the car and pressed my nose up to the window to see what is in the sale and blow me, the watch I have been saving for is £600 off ! Only down side is the watch has a bracelet not a strap which I prefer but I thought I’d pop in anyway if for nothing else but to flirt with the girls and scrounge a cup of coffee, as you do. I’m now the pleased owner of an Omega Aquaterra 15000 Gauss with a blue snake skin effect leather strap and transition clasp having been given a little bit more off - because apparently I’m one of their nicest customers . Home now and back in my sick bed but definitely feeling smug. Andy
Still at the jewellers waiting for the strap to be delivered and fitted. It will probably be the end of next week now but pictures will be boasted, er sorry posted. Andy
Pondering whether (tomorrow) to fit that spanky new (to me) set of m50's to the Hyper or, the RSV4....while performance tells me fit them to the RSV4 applicability tells me to fit them to the hyper and the reason being is that the hyper has a Beringer Master Cylinder (lovely bit of kit, came on the bike) but (and its not a bad thing) the brakes on the hyper are razer sharp and that got me thinking the other night "are they a 16mm setup?" so i went looking on the Beringer site and while i could find lovely pics i couldnt find that information so, based on what i feel the M50's may, go better on the Hyper....so im told/read a very "stabby" brake can mean that an m4 is paired up with an rcs16 type of master cylinder...the rsv4 is matched currently M4's/RCS19...
I had a great meeting today but when I got out I received a call from the chairman of a company in the USA I'm working with to tell me that the MD who I was working very closely with passed away 3 days ago. I'm still shocked by the news. She was only 45 or so.
I've recently found from some comprehensive research, that there is a direct correlation to how hot and sexy a woman is and how small and cute her car is. Which reminds me - the wife's Transit needs an MOT
The Daily Mash hits the nail on the head, yet again.... Tax these latte-loving bastards until they bleed, says Britain 05-01-18 BRITAIN wants the ‘latte levy’ to be followed by as many punitive taxes on coffee obsessives as possible. The proposed levy, which will add 25p to disposable cups, should be only the first of a raft of measures including a progressive tax rising to 100 per cent on ‘artisan espressos’. Helen Archer, from Southampton, said: “These arseholes already shell out £4 for something that costs 20p to make and then wear it as a badge of pride. Make it fifty quid a cup. “Also we should take a percentage of income from anyone who says ‘Can I get a real bloody coffee please?’ like Justin from accounts does all the time, but I recognise that’s difficult to enforce. “This could solve the NHS crisis at a stroke. Anytime we need a new MRI machine, I’ll just tell a meeting ‘I think you all need perking up,’ and they’ll nod in unison like foul-breathed labradors and then do a Costa run.” Brexit secretary David Davis added: “Real Britons drink tea, so we’re only targetting liberal remainer ponces.”
Watched “Kenny” A very good watch behind the scenes of his early life through his playing and managerial career untill today
This would be of no use to me.... I'd cook from the inside out if I was exposed to those magnetic fields.... I think.
Can't sleep. And I've not even had a drink. Can only think it's because I get the T9 back week today and I'll be hooking trailer up about now.....This better not go on all week. Spent the last hour and half practicing Silverstone and Bedford in my head and wondering which to make my "home" track.
I may wax my snowboard this morning if I can be arsed. Then this afternoon I'm dropping into Ducati Manchester with SWMBO to get the Pani's service book stamped. Followed by going to my brother in laws for something to eat before we then go to the Revolution cycling finals at the National Cycling Centre in Manchester (http://www.cyclingrevolution.com/champions-league/events/round-3)
