and if I may be so bold - ...hooo.
I found out today I was successful in my reapplication for my current job
and will remain in gainful employment at least until the buch of bastards
decide to offshore/outsource the remainder of us sometime in the future,

Whilst passing a bike shop that I don't deal with today I spotted a
white/red RD250F sitting outside. So I stopped and had a look round it,

Who wants my CD90Z for £300?

The myopic tart that wrote my bike off in Sept has finally admitted
