I did my CBT about 6 years ago. I fell off the bike while doing the car park bit, because I'm apparently an idiot, but once I got the hang of it and went out on the roads I too was terrified. Vowed never to ride a motorbike from that day on. Too many idiots on the road, myself included

Motorbikes are big, hard, clever, and make you more attractive to all genders |

Yes, it does. But you must never get complacent. |

Can confirm, you are excellent when it comes to giving other road users space, particularly cyclists etc. Shame about your road positioning though.

Nay my mum has had a fall so I jumped on my bike and then the train and made my way over in a panic Yay? When you exit the station it goes down a steep hill. I had two choices, road or grass verge next to road. Seems I chose wisely as there was a car crash and I'd have been in it. Fucking mad day! |

Nay - my little boy had a five minute cry because he asked for a bowl of porridge with a picture of Bob Ross on it made out of chocolate sauce, and what I actually made him was this: Yay - it was kind of funny. |

My three year old purchased, and paid for, a £150 set of golf clubs on eBay. It was a total accident, and is little digits just hit exactly the wrong things. He knew he’d done something wrong and we both had a gentle but panicky cry. But he picked himself up and comforted me. He told me everything would be ok. He said he knew what would make me feel better (a bubble bath) and put moisturiser on my face to make me better. He told me not to cry because it would all be ok. And it was. The seller (his real and actual name is James Blunt, amazingly) was really sweet and refunded me as soon as he found out from my panicky message what had happened. And I had that bath. It will be a funny story one day |

My company has relocated to a new premises that is further away... So far it's taken me less time to get to and from work though as the route has a much better traffic flow! Great new swanky offices that were once the headquarters of Leyland DAF trucks, much nicer working environment and I'm sat with a great bunch but my position (right at a window with a lake* view!) means I don't get to browse and post "high quality content" as frequently. *pond |

Let's pretend this is the Yay but Nay thread. YAY: I'm meant to be going to see Doves tonight in Brighton. NAY: We inadvertently threw away our tickets.* Best part of £90 down the drain. And have wanted to see them for years. Gutting. *It's also possible I simply put them somewhere I thought they'd be safe, and am no longer able to recall it. |

@findus Fop have you tried contacting the venue yet? Myp somehow managed to get some gig tickets sent to his Ex’s house, we contacted the venue and they reprinted them and had us pick them up from the box office. I also managed to lose some tickets and that venue did the same, just had to take some ID and pick new ones up. |

Well, first of all I tweeted doves last night for help, but no response (from their managed Twitter account). Then I did as you suggested and contacted See Tickets today using their online form and within an hour they said there would be replacement tickets waiting for me at the venue. Which is pretty fucking excellent. Cheers! |
