Life’s little disappointments

1. When you finally nail the spot that has grown up your nose and the damn thing just leaks rather than expires with a satisfying CRACK.

2. The recent series of Dr Who.

The argumentative nature of the forum this week. Is it a full moon or something?

If I hear one more argument about how a sexist minister got her tits out for a post nativity MMA v TKD smackdown atheist calendar, I’m going to scream.

+1 – after all that pain as well….

How easy it is to put on weight.

How hard it is to lose weight.

When you open a bag of crisps only to discover that they weren’t properly sealed and have gone all soft.

When you pump up tubeless tyres and the beads just sort of sneak onto the rim rather than popping on with a couple of proper loud bangs.

Man up princess 😉

When you put effort in, and expect a window rattler, but the fart is a mere gentle rasp.

…or a trickle. 😯

Rummaging through the neighbours recycling bin and discovering that they read the Daily Mail.

Finding out your neighbour rummages through your bins.

Realising I don’t like my car but don’t like anything else I’ve test driven either 🙁

2. The recent series of Dr Who.

Glad I’m not the only one – I gave up halfway through this series and I’ve loved it since the reboot with Christopher Eccleston.

I have no comment to make regarding spots in the nose though.

Not knowing if the Star Wars spoilers thread contains any actual spoilers and being too afraid to read just in case…

The closing of the only pages worth viewing on the Maxxis site.

Showering after a sub zero ride

As much as I’m a fan of Star Wars, not really bothering that the new ones out or giving a stuff if I hear any spoilers

American Airlines. Shonkfest.

How you lose your fitness way faster than you gained it.. Curse you wind and rain.

Cambridge. You expect so much of this hub of excellence and knowledge, but you get a small market town with bloody students everywhere and no bloody parking.

The internet. As much as it’s good, it’s full of complete rubbish and I really expected a lot more of it by now. VR, AR, AI. It’s just been ruined by funny cat videos and cybercrime.

On the contrary, it’s been really rather excellent, the last few episodes in particular have been superb.
But then I can compare them to the dross that came after Tom Baker, and even Hartnell and Troughton had a fair few that were mediocre, to say the very least.
Hmmmm, so much life, so many disappointments…
Getting the lottery notification that you’re a winner, and it’s £2.36… 😐

Fireworks
Paul Weller’s solo career
Plaid Cymru
Beautiful scenery
Education

Wheels from Merlin, order them and they dont come with rim tape. The swines.
Christmas. Sick of it already.
Being self-employed.
Realising that the great offer I’ve just received for the 2 boats I have on ebay is from someone in Poland.OK, I’ll let the auction run.

Morrissey.
Pringles – be honest, they smell of vomit.
Quinoa.
Sandwich toasters.
G-Shock watches.
CB radio.
Home brew.
The Arctic Monkeys.

New job. Same shit, different subject.

Coiling down a real spine stretcher only to find its slipped round the u-bend before it can be admired 🙁

ordering wheels and finding out they were “heavy” and had no rim tape either.

haig club

finally getting the dream bike dialed in to perfection then
getting diagnosed with angina ….

Being taken to see a Queen tribute band that turned out to be a Freddie Mercury impersonator.

Shy children,such a quiet disappointment.

The same line about rim tape being repeated

It’s not as good as when TJ and Fred were here, is it?

Bloody Twenty game … so far my record is 20 x 16 only … damn!

Still got some works to do before end of this week while all my colleagues are finished … damn!

Some news just boiled my blood … bloody ZM maggots with stoopid belief are trying to ruin the peace on earth!

life’s-little-disappointments

All of it

Not being imaginative enough to create a hilarious name for a Strava segment which when you do create find the only other people to ride it are due to GPS errors.

Thursday it’s just not quite Friday

Nice day at work, finish early for a couple of daylight hours on the bike. Get home just as the wind and rain start…twice this week

The weather forecast

Finally getting a bit of time off…old to catch a minging cold where climbing the stairs make you wheeze like you’ve just sprinted up the Tourmalet.

#ManFlu.

Christmas .

The box of crackers where every motto was ‘It is often better economy to buy better quality’ ran out of humour after #5

Cheap cordless power tools.
Cheap printer cartridges
Anything on offer attatched to a petrol pump ( led torch / sockets set)
When you open up your ‘BIG TASTY’ to find it is neither and doesnt look like the giant picture over the counter. ****.

Buying a half decent car and realising after a few months that it’s in fact just a car and does exactly what the wife’s banger does 🙁

Super glue.

Not super, just glue in small expensive bottles.
