As a reward to myself I am taking myself out on a mystery tour on the bike for a few hours as its dry. Plus looks like the weather is changing and having that opportunity may not happen for a while.

Going to clean ours this morning. Turn the temperature dial to clean, open the windows and leave the room for an hour.

Pyrolytic ovens are a thing of much awesomeness when it comes round to cleaning, I would recommend to anyone as well worth the extra pennies.

Well still not got out, seems some scum has tried to fraud my credit card, which means nothing gets paid as they have put a block on the card.
Spent the morning on the phone to various to sort out insurances etc....

Did they manage to buy anything?

Bloody hell it's a day of it today.... got home and picked up a voicemail from HMRC (automated voice) call back urgent... you owe unpaid tax... very harsh message. Anyway after this mornings hassle, I did not take 10 and called straight away, I should have checked the number etc.

Anyway speaking to the dude, who right away sounded off.... I told him, this is a scam, I am calling the police, and if you have indeed sent me letters I have not received any so send again, however I think this is a scam!!! The phone went down on me. bloody arseholes.

To answer your question there was a payment on the card that did not fit, hence why it was flagged. not a major amount, but enough to stop payments on urgent things, which thankfully I have sorted. now waiting on new card to arrive in the next 5 days.

The HMRC thing is a scam.

Tax offices have no staff to answer the phone calls they receive, let alone ring anyone.

There is another scam they do where they ring to say you owe tax and they have now sent it to enforcement. Do you want to pay now over the phone?

HMRC will only call regarding something that is ongoing & that you're already aware of. In other words they don't just "cold call" people asking for payments.

Been for an extensive eye test for new specs.

Went to Specsavers and the service was very professional, all helped by the assistant being very friendly and ..er easy on the eye.

Good luck getting the correct prescription first time... 3 people I know with glasses have gone there and never had the correct lenses first time.

They're good that they'll sort it out but it's still annoying.

I've used Specsavers for years. Always had good service.

I had a sports massage and physio session this morning.

Back to work. Still hating my job.

Every time you post about your massages I'm always a tad jealous! I'm well overdue a chiropractor appointment - just trying to make it to payday

Work, paying a dreadit card and got a nice email from Northern Rail, I made the grade in the online assessment and am now being considered for interview... A small step, but a forward one.

Good news mate.

Today I am waltzing back into the forum and pretending that I haven't not been on for a while.




The looming job location change has finally been reviewed and with some suitable chest-poking to the relevant people from my manager, I have been allowed to stay at my current location until my time in the RAF is over in Dec 22.

So I don't have to sell the bike just yet. This will give me time to tinker with it over winter, and make a decision on it next year.

Missed you guys!

Good news on the job front.

With that RAF pension you'll be able to treat yourself to a nice H2

It's not out of the question. I definitely need to find my mojo again to justify it though.

First thing's first, I need a house!

Is Bratty still with them...do you ever hear from him, etc.??

No idea and no.

He just disappeared. From what I've heard him and his wife have moved to another town.

Nice bloke but a shame he just cut people out. He is missed.

He's on Facebook. His profile says he's living in Droitwich. He's not got anything motorbike related on his account. He used to be friends with a load of us on facebook but I've got no mutual friends with him now. Looks like he's heavily into his Northern Soul.
