    Reason enough to go out and get some biker gear to wear around the house :)

    I was heading to Killarney last week and this bike passed me,the girl on the back was wearing full white leathers..doesnt sound great but honestly looked fab.Now of course i want them:rolleyes: but Im such a nervous passenger Id have to wear them around the house.
    Actually Im a shocking passenger in the car as well..TA when you start turning into your mother.

    I am the worlds worst passenger, or in the words of Mrs E, a control freak!

    Anytime we are going anywhere, even with friends, and it's a "who is gonna drive?", I all me me me please. Can't relax for minute when someone else is driving, I am constantly second guessing the driver and wearing a hole in the floor where my brake should be. Has to be a medical condition, right?.....

    It is rock and shop night in dundrum. Different stores have various discounts.
    I am in trying to get a particular coffee machine and they sell it in there.
    Price on the label is 179.
    On enquiring they tell me that there is 10% of everything in that store. Great, I will buy one.
    They have none in stock.
    But are happy to order one for me and the 10% discount still holds.
    I decide to go for that.
    Yerman then starts tippy tapping in his computer and asks for my loyalty card. I dont have one.
    Oh oh, no discount. But he says he will do me a favour and get me the discount anyway. Great.
    Then he shows me the order form which has the price in sterling and explains to me that if i pay by credit card it will come to about 190 euro.
    But if I buy a gift card I will get a better exchange rate and it will only cost me 168 euro.

    I have a pain in my head at this stage and leave.

    TLDR...a 10% discount is going to cost me 12 euro more than list price!

    Haven't been up on a bike in years, I used to try hide it from my parents as I've a cousin killed off his the year before I was born. The OH got rid of his road bike about 15 yrs ago. He does the road racing now for years, and it sometimes annoys me the attitude towards it. Yes it's dangerous, but you could get hit by a truck crossing the road tomorrow. I'd sooner see someone going out and doing something they enjoy, rather than regretting never trying it. I don't sit at home chewing my nails while he is gone, rather I bask in the glory of having the TV remote to myself :)

    This trend in TV series to have the opening credits dribble onto the screen slowly almost the entire way to the first commercial break.

    Sons of Anarchy

    The story is complete bull**** obviously written by a bloke that never bothered to research Gangs and Cartels YET im on series 5 and can't stop watching!!!

    them bloody accents and why would the cartel bother their arse with a mickey mouse biker outfit that are unrealiable and a constant liability :confused:

    *correction, the creater did do some research but still bull*****

    I was TA'd when I realised halfway through what the show ripped off and that I knew exactly what was going to happen in future.

    I was at this too. TA that it was super busy, I got there early and still had to park miles away. Whenever I saw something I liked in a shop I was put off by the massive queues at the checkout. Hardly got anything in the end. :/

    Also, while we were having our dinner, someone at a table nearby kept farting, ffs!
