Recently found a lovely bit of quiet, twisty country lane near to me, just right for a short evening ride after work. I've been along it about three times now, and was just getting the hang of it. Then last night, I went to try it again. Well, got about halfway, and suddenly I was on "cheapskate council excuse for a resurfacing job", i.e., gravelled over. B*****ds! So now I've got to wait for that to bed in before I can safely use it again. So tonight's ride...O.K., I'll try another little route I've only ridden once, seem to remember it was an enjoyable ride. And what do I find? "Road closed for repairs - follow diversion". B*****ks. So I follow the diversion, thinking I know where I can cut back to the route. Get to that turning, guess what? F****ng road closed for repairs!!! I'm not paranoid - they
are all out to get me
