Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
After passing Mod2 in March I'd been a very nervous biker.
This weekend, the helmsley TT and then onto Whitby everything just clicked, overtaking, leaning properly on corners, bit of filtering.
Got off the bike grinning from ear to ear

Well done. 
I'd had only 2-3 claims in over 20 years of AA membership membership and as they did with you, they tried it on with a massive price hike 3-4 years ago. Suffice it to say that the whole thing was handled very badly and in the end I cancelled my membership. I subsequently negotiated virtually equivalent cover with my car insurance at no extra cost on my premiums. My insurers were evidently more keen to keep my business than the AA were so offered the cover for nothing.
PS I can see why weenie Jnr. is excited.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
I think I may have been lucky Osem or maybe they have learned a lesson with losing good customers.
Sun out, washing out, house work done except for the wee one's room and that will take 5 minutes at the most so a good start to the day. Think I'm going to just chill out today with my book in the garden.
