    for the weekend.

    Has just been to collect his bike and sat round in the shop while the owner phoned the distributor then the courier and shouted at them both.

    Apparently a 2 day delivery on an order placed on Tuesday was not yesterday and is not today (DHL turned up when i was there) but will in fact be Tuesday or possibly Wednesday next week!!

    I shall be spening my weekend sulking :cry::cry:

    Nothing bike related today, just a 160gb iPod Classic.

    I feel so ashamed...

    I hate my iPod, it's rubbish. Unfortunately there's no alternative....other than going without music, but what kind of life is that! :wink:

    Buy double bike bits tomorrow to make up for todays slacking.

    Just canceled an order with Wiggle, and moved it to CRC, i didn't mind the few quid more through wiggle because i like the service, but after they refused to price match the rev's because the bint didn't know her products, i won't be using them again!

    I could but I've been really happy with my black forest and I fancied something quite hard hitting. I did consider a trance but this won the toss of the coin
