Mutter. Blasphemy. Profanity. Why am I jinxed

Blurdy Hell, everything seems to be crapping out on me. Mrs Ixions dishwasher blew up, the cage has bollocked all it electrics (don't ask, just don't ask). Now , to cap it off, Li'l Rat Bike has let me down! He's sprung a leak in the petrol tank ! Only a little one - but it's a hole all right not just a dud gasket or seal.

Not only is brazing up fuel tanks tedious work, it will also ruin his pretty paint work

Blasphemy. Profanity. Obscenity. I'm gonna go off and sulk now and feel sorry for myself.

Someone remind me about people who have real problems.

I kicked my toe, does my pain suffice in making you feel better?

But seriously shit always happens at once, and at the worst times possible - just live on it will work out good and something good will happen in time...

It's all relative mate. Life sucks for you at the moment, wether you are "worse off" or "better off" than others is irrelevant...of course that doesn't make it any easier! Hang in there

Mr Ixion.....none of this would have happened if your rat bike had been a "she". You only have yourself to blame. The God(dess) of motorcycling can wreak terrible vengeance for such an oversight.

The only way out is to call your bike "Christine".

May this remove your blues before the weekend

From what I've heard you deserve all you got....and there's more to come.My cat was talking to your cat the other day - apparently you have been a bit lax in your duties.It's time you changed your cat food,he's getting real pissed off with that crunchy shit,how about something recently dead? At 4.00am when he wants to get outside he means now ,not when you stumble out of bed and stagger to the door,hey and to top it off you stood on his tail when he was sitting patiently in front of the fridge.

Just thought I'd let you know what's being said about you on the streets....

Oh,and put a tank liner in.

Hey dude, they do say these things come in threes, right? So now only good things can happen right?

Life can suck big time, but hey at least your still alive and able to ride ah!! Hope you have a good weekend mate without anymore woes.

Why would he want to name his bike after my doris?

Stephen King, novel of the same name, evil car. Don't blame me if SK called it that. Maybe it was named after his ex

Saw the movie, maybe I should have added it was a (PT)!

That has just reminded me ... a few years back a mate of mine pulled into my driveway in his big Holden and we noticed his petrol leaking from a hole about 3mm across in the bottom of his tank. Long story short ... we fixed it after draining the tank (yeah Ok ... it was now a self draining tank ... thank goodness for all those jars in the garage) with some stuff we bought from the local service station. Probably won't do much for the paint job but it'll keep the fuel where it's supposed to be.
