So what frivolous things have you bought lately? Why?

Bought shit loads of stuff, life changing stuff tbh, the van, bike to go on van and a little puppy that will be coming on our journeys.

The t5's currently away getting fitted out at the minute.

Sorry I've not contributed much yet people, I've been having some problems with my anger management.

Anyway I hope your all well.
Anger management? ‘Er indoors could use a few tips before I have a crisis all my own. Needs more locking up than locking down 😩

I wouldn't have one of them Apple watches, If I am worried about my Oxygen levels I breathe more plus I like good old-fashioned mechanical watches that don't monitor your 'vitals' and God knows what else. Oh and I have a pathological hatred for Apple having had a couple of Ipod 60Gb players screw up just out of warranty back in the early 2000's not to mention the fact that the G4 I used when I was a graphic designer was a heap of vastly over priced, under performing shit. Oh and I took out a contract for an iPhone for my stepdaughter which she promptly ran up a £500 bill on and then the phone conked out just out of warranty (now there's a surprise!) The stepkids are grown up now and are still hooked on their Apple iCrap but at least they pay for it themselves now.

Safety? Good God man! This is motorcycling! You're supposed to be living on the edge, riding like a loony and takin' yer life in yer hands every time you let the clutch out! Well I suppose none of us would last that long if we didn't take some care as to how we ride but I do find myself uncomfortable with a bike that takes away your skills in reading the road and 'feeling' the machine under you and learning how it behaves and the manner of control that works best for you. I was actually pondering such things in our car today (2020 Renault Kadjar) when I was idly looking at how the machine 'graded' my gear change, 'anticipation and such. How the feck does the car know if my gear change is 'correct' or not? It can't see why I chose to change gear or not at a particular time and it's ideas of correct 'economical' driving is based on programming which doesn't take into account the particular roads I am driving, the traffic I am encountering or the weather.

May I recommend a cheap and VERY HANDY oxygen monitor? Your nail bed! Just squeeze it and see how fast it goes pink again. Great circulation and oxygenation indicator and it goes everywhere with you! It doesn’t tell the time, obviously, but can get to all sorts of fun places an Apple Watch would not be welcome. Security!......You people 🙄
