Rant of the day

I now want to leave a question asking if it's a Triumph Speed Triple

 

So that people who search for Bandit - see this and think - maybe I will have one of these instead !!!

Ebay did try to stop people doing it.

 

People who cannot pull into both sides of a petrol / diesel pump.

Look closely people, they have long hoses that allow you to pull it across and put fuel in the other side of your car. You don't have to be a genius to work this out. But people who form a long queue to on side of the pumps meaning you can't get onto the forecourt - really boils my piss!!!!

OK if you have a transit, which makes it impossible, but 95% of cars are able to be fuelled from the 'wrong' side. Best car I had was a 59 Hillman Minx, was on the back of the car above the bumper, so made no difference which side the pump was at.

Just pull up to an empty pump and put the bloody fuel in and get the hell out of my way





p.s. -if you look at your fuel guage, the wee image of a fuel pump will have an arrow above it pointing to which side the filler cap is on !

 

But surely if they queue and you can use both sides then you get fuel first

Waiting for rant

 

Careful here Mr O. That you are not paying for the fuel in the 10' of hose that you have had to drag across the rear of your car scratching your paintwork in the process.
The Fuel is still in the hose when you put it back, is the next customer getting that hoseful for free ?
Great rant by the way, I know exactly what you mean!

 

Had a great day. Walked 10 miles across the hills in the rain, stopped at a pub with an open fire, had a beer, ordered a lamb curry and had another beer. Home, showered and dry. Great.

Apologies for no rants but normal service will be resumed.

 

£150 for an oil change (running in service). They didn't even tighten the fucking oil filter with oil dripping off the arse of it and a full turn and a half to tighten it up. Obviously tried to save a few minutes by not taking off the skid plate to get a proper purchase on the canister. I mean I shouldn't have to go round the bike with a fine tooth comb a couple of days after a service from a main dealer. I`ll check all the allen boilts tomorrow.

 

Just turn your phone off !!! No distractions guaranteed then.

 

I go one better Dave, I've learnt not to take the bloody thing with me!

 

That works for me mate - sometimes I can't even find mine

 

when I retire the first thing in the bin will be my mobile.

 

Why wait till retirement ?

 

cos if I didn't have a mobile phone I would be forced to retire, 95% of my work is through the mobile

 

Hi Crispey, What line of work are you in that requires 95% mobile use ?

 

people call me on my mobile to book me for work, give info etc, I don t work in an office so am out and about and my pigeons wont go further than the m25 anymore

 

I knew youd have it on speed dial

 

Why do Americans talk on the same frequency as bats?

 

When I was offered and took early retirement I threw away my alarm clock, having done 23 years of shift work and having to get up at stupid o clock in the morning to travel 60 odd miles it was the first thing to go. I swapped it for my T100
