What did you do with whatever else you've got?

[ChristoT]

Well, this weekend, I ended up driving 100 miles on taxi duty. To all those who told me that a car is better because it has passenger seats: The bike is better because it DOESN'T! There I was, accelerating up the A1 at the speed of continental drift, two giggling teenage girls in back yelling and screaming in my left ear at a blooby video game, with a dog shedding hair over the passenger seat, and my landlord about to bite large chucks out of the fascia (In the passenger seat, under the dog!!)

Then I woke up late and had to thrash it into work. The fanbelt is slightly loose, and screams at me from time to time now (which pisses me off somewhat!!) The A14 and the bit through Huntingdon and Godmanchester were maddening - I want to filter, but I can't!!  :'( :'( :'(
