I got a RAC newsletter saying government to ban loud exhausts and revving...
Apparently they are going to fit noise cameras and dish out fines...
Well the next time I get hit or pulled out on by a vehicle that wasn't aware of my presence cos I got a pussy quiet exhaust I shall just kill everyone in the vehicle then that was responsible for knocking me off my bike...
FUCK EM ALL 🦆

Aye, I got that email too.

The bit that I found hilarious though, the govts reason for making mots every 2 years instead of annually...

In a move to tackle the ongoing cost of living crisis, the Government has announced a series of proposals to help people across the UK – including changes to MOT rules.
According to the new proposals, drivers could be about to save more than £55 a year – with the annual Ministry of Transport (MOT) Test set to be scrapped and replaced with a check every 2 years.

Woot. We save 56 quids! Of course, campaigners say its a dangerous move, and will make repairs dearer. Folk will have 2 years of neglect to pay for....

Well. I have seen new vehicles come in for 1st mot, and fail. Bald tyres. Emissions off the scale, metal to metal brakes. Why? Well, they can afford the new car on finance, but the cost, plus insurance, means they can't afford to maintain it.

These are the same cretins who wait for the mot to show up what needs doing on the vehicle... See what it fails on. If it passes? Good for another year of neglect.

My Land Rover, for example, it hasn't failed an mot in 20 years. Well, except one where my mot guy asked if he could fail it for a sidelight out, which we then 'fixed' and it passed 5 minutes after. His philosophy is folk bring it in for a pretest, he does anything that needs doing, then it passes. Vosa said he wasn't failing enough, and sent an examiner out!

So for those of us who believe in maintenance, a biannual mot is no problem. To the sheeple... Its a licence to drive a death trap. I do my own mot pretest so, for me no worries. Ironically the LR is of an age where its MOT exempt, but guess what? Yes, I still mot it, and get my mot guy to give it a once over, second set of eyes and all that. There's no way I'm giving the insurance company any excuse to not pay out if required!

I do wonder why the govt want to go bi-annual though.... What do they get out of it?

My employers are twats..
This morning they denied all knowledge of me ever notifying them of any issues I have and have basically more than took the piss today and it felt like a deliberate attempt by them to provoke a bad reaction from myself..
They asked me to sit down and discuss what the problem was.
I've explained dozens of times different issues and provided all medical letters and appointments to show I'm completely open and honest about it all...
Again they each personally denied any such conversation or all the correspondence from doctors and such...
They could not look me in the eye..one had his back to me the whole time whilst talking to me and the other kept himself busy doing other things whilst following the others lead on the conversation...
The manager was nowhere to be seen...
Fucking arse hole cowards...
Also I'm doing 69hrs this week against all medical advice given trying to help out and I'm only contracted to do 40hrs..
That's an extra 29hrs in a week..It's too much but apparently I'm being awkward and lack commitment...
I've Fucking had it and if I still had my old contacts🤬🤬🤬🤬🦆

U.S. commission recommends renaming nine Army bases to strip Confederate legacy

A Congressionally mandated commission announced on Tuesday its recommendations for changes to the names of nine U.S. Army bases that currently honor the Confederacy and Confederate leaders. The recommended changes, if implemented, would name bases in honor of Black, Hispanic and female American...

I love the whole 'The Civil War was about slavery' bullshit. Christ it seems that a lot of Americans have been fooled by a propaganda lie that was made up at the time of the civil war in order to hide the real reason for it and enjoy keeping that lie alive and even strengthening it. The truth is the Civil War had absolutely fuck all to do with whether slavery was good or bad it was all about whether the 'United' States stayed United with the central government milking the wealthy states and giving them less back than they put in (somewhat like the EU) and the Seccessionist States wanting their Independence so it was really a nation built on independence trying to stop parts of that nation becoming independent and nothing to do with freeing anyone from slavery. Hell Lincoln was probably more of a racist than the average Confederate he just saw them as a useful 'cause' for his war.

Stupid idiot women car drivers who can’t use their fucking near side wing mirrors before changing lanes in a stationary row of traffic

Fortunately my cat like reactions saved me splattering myself all over the wing and bonnet of a Corsa owned by a cunt:mad:

Onepoundeightysixfuckingpence a litre.

The govt are coining it in on VAT on fuel. I know they have to finance stuff but when that 'stuff' is 500k (half a fucking million quid) on focus groups to polish Sunak's turd image (personal PR, surely, why the fuck are we paying) it's a pure pisstake

I paid £1.85 a litre for diesel at Luss by Loch Lomond last night. Fuel cost in rural areas is turning very nasty. We ain't got no choice as we need to get places. Yesterday we finally had to take our big dog who has had cancer for the last two and a half years down to the vets to be put to sleep and, after paying £130 to the vet plus £200 quid for her cremation and return of ashes, having to pay twenty quid for just over two gallons of fuel was the cherry on the cake of a shite day.
