I have, today, consigned the fifteen year old GTR1400 to the tender care
of Motorcycle Pitstop in Letchworth with the instructions to "Make it
pass an MOT and carry me to France in a few weeks' time".

Ralph looked at it, curled his lip, and pronounced it "Fucking minging".

I cannot find it within myself to argue with this verdict. I'm absolutely shit
at looking after vehicles. I hope it won't get a bullet between its headlights
to put it out of its misery.

<VBG> No, as in Ralph held his nose and issued an MOT. He says he's changed the oil,
lubed a few bits, and it's good to go. I can't get over there tomorrow, so I'll pick it up on
Thursday, then it's next stop France. It's a shed, because I've owned it from new, so
I'll keep running it until it catches fire. I'm happy.

Christ, I hate those euphemisms for "died". I'm always reminded of Kane's comment: "We
haven't 'lost' Grandma! She's over there in that box in the corner!".

I particularly dislike "passed" because it's a contraction of "passed on to the next life", which is incredibly weird to an atheist.

I've always rationalised it as 'passed away' without thinking of the
deeper meaning. Passed over also implies the same, so now I'm going to
hate it just that bit more, thanks.
