I'm back

'Mark all read' is a good thing.

Apart from TOG being a twat for a second time and WC becoming a power
ranger, what's happened in the last 4 days?

 

Lots of people complained about not "snipping" while not snipping
themselves, and other cases of hypocritical behaviour.

Lots of people riding, some without touching rubber on the road.

One poster giving advice on how to not crash, while crashing more
regular than the paperboy delivers.

 

Thieving unoriginal ****

 

I paid a stinking motorcycle courier £1,250 to stand outside the
Indian High Commission in London from 6 o'clock in the morning until
closing time to present a client's passport for a visa application.
The lucky courier just needed to say that he was a "friend" of the
client.

 

That's quite funny. But I'm laughing at you, not with you.

 

The "Motorcycle Dealer" Trade Expo was held over three of the last four
days.

But you knew that anyway, because you were there!

 

So there are 6 new flavours of cheap Disc Locks ready for the next NEC
show.

 

Many people were there.

 

Actually there are lots of shiny new goodies ready for you lucky
people to spend your hard-earned cash on, and sooner than November.

Disc locks, however, are not currently supplied by the company Lozzo
and I work for.

Define 'many'.

My brain is so scrambled I don't know where I am or where I've been. It
was busy.

 

So what is the "must have" new product?

 

What ? opnly twice ?

I don't know. In 3 full days of working on our stand I managed to get
enough time away from customers and trade dignitaries to eat one
sandwich, it was that busy.

I didn't have any time at all to wander round and view anyone else's
stands.

Time away? You fucking slacker

I stayed on the stand, I didn't even drift more than 10 yards from it
all the time I was there.

Bloody hell, your feet must've been killing you! ;-)

Seriously, how you didn't go out of your mind with boredom...

 

Whinging Courier said...

They still are

You don't have a chance to get bored, it's all go at the Expo. There's
always someone to talk to, someone to meet and do a deal with etc. I
love it, but doing shows does take it out on you physically rather than
mentally. You tend to come away from them with your brain a bit
scrambled, but only because you've seen as many customers in 3 days as
you'd normally see in 4 to 6 weeks. However, I find most people in this
trade quite stimulating, a far cry from being in retail. I need Paul
Varnsverry's job, he's got the cushiest life in the bike trade.

 

In uk.rec.motorcycles, Lozzo amazed us all with this pearl of wisdom:

You need a pay rise.

I don't discuss what I earn with anyone, on or off the net, so you
wouldn't know that.
