  1. Our nearest Shell station ran out of diesel yesterday - forgot to
    mention that.

    Some would say I am lucky to be alive the way I ride anyway :)

    I totally agree, and it goes against my normal mode, but I was shafted by
    being the only available person to do the job. I made it clear to any I
    was going to be close to I was an infectious ball of snot, but they seemed
    ok with it.

    Even if the symptoms are repressed by a medicine, the illness is still
    there. It will take longer to go away if ignored. I'm a great believer
    is getting plenty of rest and keeping your liquid level up.
    "Getting a cold could result in you losing your job, your home, your
    mortgage - everything you hold dear" [1].

    Just hope I've still got a job when I get back on Monday because I never
    took a Lemsip.

  7. Hmm, yes, they were queued onto the road at the Shell station in
    Cowley High Road yesterday. Didn't think to link it to reports of petrol
    blockades later, until I saw your post. Are we going to have another week
    of fuckwittedness? IIRC I avoided the last one by having my own petrol
    crisis in Belgium on a Sunday and polished it off by having my chain break
    at 80 mph and flick under my rear tyre on the Autobahn that night.
