I have this printed out on A2 and laminated hanging on my workshop wall:


I'm Tired!

Yes, I'm tired. For several years I've been blaming it on middle age, poor blood, lack of vitamins, air pollution, saccharin, obesity, dieting, under arm odour, yellow wax build up and another dozen maladies that make you wonder if life is worth living.

But I found out it ain't that.

I'm tired because I'm overworked.

The population of this country is 62 million
29 million are retired;
That leaves 33 million to do the work.
There are 23 million at school;
That leaves 10 million to do the work.
1 million are unemployed and 5 million are employed by the Government;
That leaves 4 million to do the work.
3 Million are employed by County and Borough Councils leaving 1 million to do the work.
There are 620,000 people in hospital and 379,998 in prisons.

Which leaves 2 people to do the work.

You and me.

And you're sitting on your arse reading this

No wonder I'm bloody tired!

The bit you've missed is to be inserted just after the WD40 and Tape. 'Manage to cut your finger in the process and bleed all over the bike.'


It's always a better job with some blood on it. I managed to gash my finger the other day quite badly with a plastic tyre lever!

They forgot something. Everything works better if you belt it with a 4lb lump hammer.
