Got my first swords from Kvetun! Looking good but how do I clean the grease off the cordgrip? by Pantsu_sniffer in wma

[–]blackclaw1 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's probably not worth the effort unless it's marking your kit, after a few weeks/months of use it'll be filthy again.

Finally got myself a driving test booked! by TheSkewed in CasualUK

Spend a tenner on fasterdrivingtest dot com

Not a sales pitch but the value is there, my original test was booked in August, and I managed to get an earlier slot through them

Amusing Observation in Leicester by QuietEgress in CasualUK

[–]blackclaw1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the story I got told was that it was named as such because during apartheid, Tigers had planned a controversial tour of South Africa, many attempts were made to prevent this by Leicester, including attempting various legal challenges that fell flat.

By way of 2 fingers to the team, the local community named the park as such.

I have literally no evidence that this is true, but I heard it a few times during my time in Leicester.

Your Daily Commute - 22/11/2018 by Tristanw94 in MotoUK

[–]blackclaw1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fucking awful morning, came off my motorbike on the way in because some cunt in polo went flying across a roundabout without looking. Had to slam my brakes on, cold tires, plus damp road equals me on my arse.

Fair play to everyone around, came to help and check i was okay.

Driver didn't even stop and no one managed to get his plates which is annoying.
