Mine got hit on lefthand side door pillar, no hope. I did have a Datsen 160 SSS in the 80's which I did that with. Hit on Rt front wing, insurance wrote it off, value £800, I kept and got new front wing fitted for £200, had only paid £750 for it. Even better used it as a £1000 deposit for Reanult Feguo, and got £160 for it as well.

Hugs Leon

Not the best start to the month but the main thing is you were unhurt

Good news - Covid jab on Friday afternoon 

That's good, Ian !! 

Cheers - Phil.

Podiatrist visit this afternoon, Covid jab tomorrow.

Out of the house twice in two days! First time I've gone further than the bins, a metre or two outside the door, since November.

Taught my first class of the year this afternoon. Fortunately for morale, a rather brainy teenager.

Thanks Phil. Problem is I feel like a fraud, I'm rarly ill apart from the diabetes and walk everywhere. There must be people with much greater need than me. Not that I'm going to turn it down.

That's good too, Mike ! 

Ian...I'd take the view, that if being diabetic is one of the conditions that they 'worry about'.....Get it done Matey.
...Don't feel like a fraud !

Cheers - Phil.

Do it Ian.

To make it fun as the needle goes in scream "it burns, it burns". Some frothing at the mouth would be good too.

Seriously, do it. 

To head off on a slightly different tack, I got hit on SH1 in Auckland on Thursday whilst riding my motorbike. Guy alongside me in the outside lane decided he wanted to be where I was, so moved without looking or indicating. The defensive riding courses I've been on payed off as I mostly got out of the way and kept the bike upright. Which was good as there was a huge truck directly behind me. The only damage was a scratched rear indicator, which he offered to pay for. Checked the price $213.00 + GST, I let him know the price and told him I was not going to get it as the indicator works and a bit of black paint would fix it.
I have noticed since being in NZ that driving standards are much lower here than I was used to in the UK, and that is even after several years as a motorcycle courier in London.

Cheers
Ian

Are you Cat 6 or just being prioritised within Cat 5?

Cats should automatically go the the front on any queue. (vid. sup.)

Kittys will automatically go to thge front of the queue. I think I'm either 4 or 5. NHS web site isn't too clear on it last time I looked
