Nice enough ride. A bit sharp to be honest but suitable clothing sorted that one out. I’m certainly gaining fitness again now, charged for quite a while n some places. just up to rivy and back. Brakes playing up a bit, ho hum. I’ve taken my track bike to the track for storage now, need to get the chameleon down for riding duties sharpish and then swap out all my ultegra kit off my crosslight onto my road bike again. I need a new road rim.
In other news my old company has stumped up my desperately needed overtime which was nice and has suspiciously told me I’ve won the water aid lottery on my very last pay packet after being in it for 8 years. Only 25 quid mind. We’re back in the money now I think, just. (Old company only paid two weeks in advance plus I only worked two weeks into the month so we actually had a full month without any pay to muggle through, the specific month being december, not the easiest one to choose.) Plus obviously the bank seeing that I’d not been paid on the 15th killed our overdraft. Thanks. 25 fucking years of paying them a lot of money (mortage, wages, savings, ISA’s) and the instant my pay doesn’t go in as expected and Lloyds TSB the fecking stealing bastards turn the overdraft off, right when we needed it. It’s all automated too. No humans in the process whatsoever frm observing your account to issuing the letter.
If I could find a bank that says ‘we use humans to make decisions, if they’re not sure what’s going on, they’ll phone you and ask before doing anything, because at the end of the day, we’re all humans (although obviously in the case of bankers this is debatable – leeches aren’t human last time I looked) . Anyway, what a bunch of fucking cunts Lloyds TSB are. Other banks are certainly just as bad but there you go.
