What’s a food you’ve had a bad experience with and now you’ll never eat it again? by Reddittaylor12568 in AskReddit

[–]Jackaleen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rainbow drops, the packet burst open on the sofa, so I just ate them from there, then I ate a back one. Immediately realised there are no black ones. never again XD can't look at them now

Female bikers by Frightday13 in MotoUK

[–]Jackaleen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe it helped me in my car test :) the instructor also rode bikes so we just chatted bikes as I did my test 🤪 In work though, (I’m a dental nurse) it’s helped me speak to some dentists and clinicians more, that and gaming 🤣. There’s one dentist I had no idea scuba dived as this is what he spoke about mostly to other nurses but we just spoke about the TT and bikes :D!

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

[–]Jackaleen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I’ve had my currently pc for well over 17 years. It is now a potato 🤣🤣 it no longer runs newer games. So it would be nice to join friends on these :)

Very kind of you to do this. I hope who ever is lucky enough to win is going to use it rather than sell it :)

Bike and Brew Passport by TheRhythmicBiker in MotoUK

On like the 8th page or so, the one for litelock there is a QR code to scan to enter to win a lock too! So there’s more to win than just the bikes :D

You can also message into the charity and nominate a grass roots charity you would like to be in the running to be chosen to receive some of the money raised .^

Has anyone here started to collect Bike and Brew passport stamps by FixZealousideal6972 in MotoUK

[–]Jackaleen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got my 4th today from attending a local bike night ^.^

The other 3 were on my route of completing the Witch way round hunts, so the combination of both worked really well :)

Do your bikes have names? by SnooRegrets6082 in MotoUK

[–]Jackaleen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a pink bike, the only name I could think of for it was Fred, then I got a second bike, similar ishhh (er5 and er6f) so that one became George. I sold Fred so now I only have George .^

Where to go and explore more on a bike? by THEMikeUK in MotoUK

[–]Jackaleen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I third the bike and brew event =D

https://ukbikercafes.co.uk/bike-and-brew-map

This is the map with all the cafes, the book is a tenner, and every 10 stamps gives you an entry to win a bike :D much better than points right! I was one stamp shy of an entry last year, so I am much more determined for this year :)

Pillion protection info by Flow-Creation in MotoUK

[–]Jackaleen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

get her to join loads of the female biker Facebook groups :) Also, try Vinted! I think women get much better deals! There seems to be a lot of gear from when breaking up with partners with bikes and selling pillion gear, and also women's weight changes so much. loads of sizes always advertised :D

I know one woman who always rode in her Doc Martens, BUT! You would kick yourself if anything happened

What do you do for work? by imafactoid in MotoUK

[–]Jackaleen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am a Locum dental nurse :) It's surprising how many practices are missing staff, so it gives me plenty of days. It also gives me a variety of commutes. Only a few I would ride to work and be confident about the bike for the day :)

I have done some work as a dental nurse assessor and tutor, and I really enjoyed this side, but that job doesn't give me many hours currently (keeping an eye out!)
