FOCCING dickhead work colleagues who just don't FOCCING listen to what you are saying as they are too FOCCING busy either talking over you or picking holes in what you are saying as they haven't let you FOCCING finish. If it wasn't for the fact that (a) I'm not a violent person and (b) I can't afford to loose my job because of some FOCCING TWAT faced arrogant FUCKTARD who thinks he is just the best at everything, I'd knock him the FOC out.
:grumble :2guns :pc :grumble

Oh I'm with you on that one!!!

I just don't understand what kick they get from being complete wankers.

Sounds like we share the same boss.  :lol

if it was my boss then I would have just told him to shut the FOC up and stop being a dick as he is a really nice guy  :lol it's mainly the dickhead I have to sit next to, He is one of those people that if you say that you have been to tenerefe then he has been to elevenerefe  :lol and everything you are excited about he has to put it down because he has done better for example I had a race on my 600 Fazer against an R6 and I managed to wipe the floor with him (didn't happen but you get my drift  :lol ) he would have lapped him about 3 times in the time I completed the race because he is just sooooooo FOCCING amazing.

What gets me annoyed are these companies that "sponsor" programs. What that means in practice is you get to see an advert for them at the beginning of the ad break, then another one at the end. I get so sick of it that I'm never going to  buy Admiral car insurance or what ever that flaming vacuum cleaner bloke is flogging.

[JD-LincsUK]

Fekkin insurance companies and brokers.

I won't go into details, I'm sure you all have had your own hair-tugging experiences. Bunch of thieving tossers, imho, of course

Just got my renewal as well - gone up £4 from last year (when they just took the renewal money without so much as a "by your leave...") plus a tenner "renewal fee". No claims (ever on a bike in the UK) and actually added Datatag in the meantime, and it still goes up. I don't care if it's 4p - it's just taking us for a ride. And when it goes tits-up, well we know what happens then, don't we? Yup, shit on again.

I changed bikes previously and got slapped with an £80 admin fee. 80 friggin quid! The policy was £90 ffs. The new bike was cheaper to insure (£75) than the old one (GPZ500S to Fazer thou) as well - how the hell does that make sense?

My wife's car insurance will soon be more than the car itself is worth.

[BBROWN1664]

:agree

Got my renewal through a week or two back. £201. Cheeky foccers even said on the renewal letter that I paid £155 last year. Nothing has changed. Bikes are a year older and worth less than before. I called them to tell them to fec off but before could even tell them anything they offered a reduction to £160. Still more than last year but Ogden has fecced all the insurance company customers with his new interest rate rules.

[Grayo]

Had my Renewal from Bennett's on Saturday morning. £7.23 more than last year plus a £20 arrangement fee. Just called them and told them to foc off.

First time today in 30 years riding i had to remove my lid at a petrol station before the bastard would turn the pump on.
Kept my cool and didn't say a word to the fella behind the till.......deep breaths now.  :grumble

Me too. the other day, I just lay the nozzle on the floor and ride off

Crossed my mind too, but as i mentioned earlier, the large police station next door certainly paid a part in my final reaction.

It’s frustrating, but acts of petulance aren’t going to improve matters… it’ll just add weight to the theory that bikers are a bunch of reprobates.
We need them more than they need us. If they average a couple of pence profit per litre, the cost of processing the transaction for your 15 litre top-up means they probably don’t break even on the deal.

This is one of the reasons why I have a flip front helmet. Just makes life so much easier as I don't need to take my lid off when filling up or paying at the counter, I just flip the front up to reveal my fugly mug  :lol

[Freck]

I've never got why some guys find it such a hassle to remove their helmet when filling up.
I like to do it then make the car drivers behind me wait. It's fun to watch them getting all wound up as I make sure my gloves and lid are fastened up properly.  :lol

I find it a massive hassle. My helmet is a good fit and I have problems with earplugs as it is so when I pull the lid off - which as well as feeling like it is ripping off my ears it also dislodges the ear plugs which either fall on the floor straight away or roll off any surface I put them on - which is undoubtedly dirty.
Then there is also my glasses which have to come off first - now where do I put them.
So even without all of that where do you put your lid, defiantly not on the diesel soaked floor.
So yes it is a hassle and for that reason i only buy fuel at a pay at the pump.     

[Dudeofrude]

Got to agree with sharpie, it's a ball ache taking your helmetoff and finding somehwere to balance it along with your gloves, glasses, earplug etc while you fill up then having to put it all down in the shop while you get your wallet out of lying to have to piss about putting it all back on, just silly. At the end of the day they are supposed to be offering you a service not doing you a favour so they should be trying to encourage you to spend money at their establishment, not make you feel victimised

I wont remove mine unless my top box is empty and I can put it in there. I will not hang it from the bars or balance it on the tank as I don't want it falling off. Also NEVER put your lid on the ground or on top of the pump in a petrol station as there are too many fumes and spillages around that will damage your helmet.

Most of the time I wear a flip front anyway so its never a real issue for me.

The owl bastard in his big Merc yesterday in lane 4 of 4 which is a turn right only on the approach to the motorway. I'm between 2 and 3 filtering sat at the lights and beat them off the mark only for Merc man to floor it across but also partially comes into lane 2. Now, I'm dressed like plod so the dozy cunt cannot miss me with all the hi viz I'm wearing. I'm on the stebel horn blowing it for England as I'm moving across to lane 1 thinking I'm getting wasted. The cunt and his Mrs look at me like I'm in the wrong

sometimes I wish I was a real bizzy coz there would be some tickets dished out to these twats I tell yer........ggggrrrr

[johnakay]

what get my goat is these silly fuckers who over take you with in gnat whiskers  and I dont mean cars.

I almost followed one bastid but if it wasn't for my wife ,I would've done.

Bikers are some of the biggest idiots on the road nowadays.You can't go out on a nice day without seeing some fuckin' lunatic doing something bloody suicidal, splitting traffic at 50+mph, overtaking up to blind bends or the brow of a hill, undertaking and doing stupid speeds in totally inappropriate places. It surprises me that there are so few accidents involving motorcycles if I'm honest.

C'mon, what else does the middle class fat balding priviledged white older male have to do with his time? "Get out of my way, I'm in management."
