"Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of it's victim may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated, but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience." - C.S. Lewis

Oooher, and what I'm really pissed off about today is electronic banking. Last night I meant to transfer 2 grand to from one bank account to another bank, and I accidentally ticked the wrong box and sent it to an entirely different bank account. Fcuk. I immediately rang my bank, and got their cheery answering machine message that assured me that they'd all gone home for the night, and said, "If you've made an internet banking error, leave a message and we'll call you first thing in the morning.

I left a detailed message with the time, my account details, transaction number, etc, and just like they promised, they rang me first thing this morning to tell me that they can't reverse the transaction? Fcuk! They said, "if you'd told us straight away, we could have caught the transaction and reversed it straight away!" I said, "well that'd be handy if there's been anyone in your fcuking office when I rang, 10 seconds after I realised my error!"

Anyway, they've sent me a form to fill out, and I'll (hopefully) get my money back in a few days. The lesson I've learned from this is, don't do any electronic funds transfers out of the banks business hours, because there's no cnut there to help you once you press the "GO" button................ ;D

I was feeling sorry for myself because I couldn't afford new bike boots, until I met a man with no legs.

So I said, "Hey mate, you haven't got any bike boots you don't need, do you?"

Ha ha, I wouldn't mind if it was someone I knew mate, but when it's a nameless/faceless corporation you're dealing with, it's a little scary. I won't do that again......... ;D

Thanks mate, and the good news is I drove 290 Km (180 miles) today, the CEL stayed off, and there were no leaks! I think I'll buy a garage hoist, call myself a "mechanic", and start a new business! ;D

Not in mine either, you really need to pick your act up Terry ;D

Mind you I'm a bit pissed off tonight, I've got to be at work at 6:30 in the morning.   :-\  Oh well the 5 days off was nice, didn't get anywhere near as much done as I wanted to though.  I had to spend just over an hour ironing my uniforms which didn't help my enthusiasm.   ;D

The smoking bans have been in up here for over 12 months.  The crims are now soaking tea leaves and nicotine patches in hot water then drying the tea leaves out, they then use pages out of the bible for papers.  They smell like #$%* and I reckon you would have to be pretty #$%*ing desperate for a smoke to have one.  In my personal opinion tobacco smells bad enough.

Not the most desperate thing I have seen, a few weeks back, while I was on centre placement there was a tranny in there and one of the unit heavies was shagging it.  He had apparently "tricked" himself that it was actually female, so he said.  At that point I threw up a little, but at the same time it was as funny as #$%*. ;D

   Missed out on a CL deal yesterday in my neck of the woods. Responded about an hour and a half after posted and insinuated I would offer more if needed.   Normally I fluff it off and move on to the next but for some reason this one kinda hurts and got me to thinking.
   Why would a very long term, maybe original owner, who has an original paint, cosmetically very nice condition 22K mile 1976 kz900 that has not been started in 10 years wake up one morning and decide he needs to sell it for $500.00 to the first person to send an e-mail. Takes 2 minutes to hit E-bay for a general  idea as to value, and he has internet access. Was he that sick of looking at it for that many years ?
  He emailed me back saying it was just picked up and said  " I think maybe I sold it too cheap"   Ya think--- Just kind of pisses me off a little but congrats to the buyer, bet it will be popping back up on the scene in the very near future with all the flippers around here. One that got away Rant Over-----next-----------   ;D

Yeah, that'd piss me off too Eric, I'm looking at a "much modified" 1974 Z1 at the moment and trying to decide whether it's worth the wrath of my wife if I go ahead with it. I've got to keep reminding myself what a diabolical handling POS they were, but hell, they look so cool............ ;D

Does anyone remember the sandcast K0 that was on Craigslist a few years ago, half buried in someone's garden? It sold very quickly, and reappeared on eBay a few days later. I shouldn't say too much, I bought this Laverda 750 for $5K, but didn't like it, so I put it on eBay and sold it for $11K for it, much to my surprise.......... ;D
