What do you want to vent about today?

For all the none biking stuff. Say hello, chew the fat or flame the forum.

They no longer have enough staff to deal with anything. I have outstanding queries with HMRC dating over six months ago and though they can confirm they have received them, they are unable to advise when anyone will get round to dealing with it.

This Country’s infrastructure is on the verge of collapse.
This is why my vent was careful to avoid blaming the workers in the area.. more emphasising an actual lack of reception staff to do the necessary admin work.

This country's **** and it was going that way before Brexit. The current government have been selling everything they can.

If there is one thing I’ve learnt from my dramas is that your income (and potential income) is well worth protecting, by way of medical insurance and income protection insurance. I just thank my lucky stars that I am with a company that provides both as part of my package.

Research a good Physio and pay for it privately. As has been mentioned you don’t have to go endlessly. Get some manipulation and then exercises to carry on with at home. I see my Physio once every 4-6 weeks (as it’s a flight to Brisbane each time) and I’m still making really good progress.
Happiness is not a destination. It is a way of life.

Literally everyone is pissing me off today. I think it's clear I'm the common denominator here so hope to avoid eye contact and conversation with everyone by plugging myself into my music

WTF is wrong with people these days when it comes to using the roads ?

Fortunately the truck following her has it on camera from the cab. Hopefully the woman concerned will get a hefty fine and or ban.
Did your friend's daughter get any joy yet mate.?

Police won’t do anything without s clear picture of the vehicle. They are saying it’s not clear enough to pursue even though they know the reg number.

Our roads are almost at anarchic state now ......unless you speed.

Bloody hay fever. Just took the bike for a 5min spin to show my old man as he never knew I was having a new one. And my eyes are streaming sneezing and bunged up.

At least I'm not so gutted to be stuck in the house sorting junk out

Bloody feral kids, no respect at all and these days you can't put some into them, just had to try to ignore the little swine because I was at work, even getting out of the cab could get me fired!

Who put the kids in charge?

Stonsie - I've watched some crazy YouTube clips of brats on buses. They think they can get away with anything. Maybe if the parents taught them a f'ing lesson maybe others wouldn't have to put up with their sh!t
