    Yeah but you can just claim against the owner of the child for not keeping it under control at all times…….. or is that cats? I forget.

    Think I’ve broken my spirit, struggling to look forward to getting soaked again tonight after twice at the weekend.

    Yeah my cats too. They are too fat, so I’ve put them on a diet. Result – they just kill more stuff..

    Cats/children – all banned from everything right now…., 👿

    Quite the opposite for me. Had my phone delivered today after being repaired on the insurance and collected my car this morning after having new glow plugs and egr valve fitted.

    A few weeks ago, my car broke down and as I got out of the car my phone fell out of my pocket and smashed. THAT was not a good day.

    Another tyre with a bulge – luckily it was due to be changed on Friday, just a PITA getting it done early.

    Broke my helmet last Tuesday. It looks fine, but I only felt the head part of the crash. Replacement arrived yesterday.

    Anyone want to buy a visually fine but structurally unsound bell super?

    House door, barrel popped out on my key, new barrell fitted and 5 mins locksmith work £85

    Measuring bike for new wheels, turned upside down, I have lost the slx shifter cap, luckily no mud inside,
    Found replacement part online £3.49 delivered, I’m hoping another bikes shifter has the same cap cover so can switch until replacement comes

    A stranger’s stride as he was a few sentences into an anti-cyclist rant in a pub, when I interrupted him with a hammy delivery of “Yeah but see, some of these car drivers, they think they own the road“. He looked a bit embarassed and stopped talking.

    Also my phone but it had it coming, horrible smooth over-sized lozenge that it is.

    So, to add to the tally.

    That rock/wheel coming together this morning has cost me two new tyres as I damaged the rear as well. No suspension damage but I hit it hard enough to trigger the passenger seat airbag and seatbelt pre-tensioner. So it’s looking like a replacement seat, airbag ecu and seatbelt….

    Ps. Airbags going off are loud. Really loud.

    I broke a cup due to stupidly slamming a cupboard after finding out my potatoes had gone mouldy, I was then pee’d off about the cup so threw a mouldy potato which knocked a plate off the draining board and it smashed.

    It has not been a good day for me today.

    4 router bits trying to make a home made slot car circuit. Knew 5 for a £10 was a bad move but thought I’d get further than 2ft of track 😥

    my folding bike now folds in several dimensions at once

    the bottom folding pivot was knackered and trying to ride off a kerb was the last straw, stripped the threads and snapped the bolt, causing the seat tube and bottom bracket to part company

    barclays bike for me for a while till i can find a new folder on ebay
