Confessional. Suitable penance?

[The History Man]

This morning at 7.15 I arrived at work to build a bike for a colleague. Hadn't seen it. She'd bought it online expecting it assembled. It was one of these. Everything felt like it was made of recycled takeaway cartons. Really nasty, heavy, soulless BSO.

Had to get it off my conscience. Thanks.

That looks weighty!

The child's version is 15kg. 240 squid.

How do I make good for bringing it into the world?

You own a Saracen so you are still in the positive

Let me guess EVERYTHING a nightmare to set up
Oh the joys of slack tolerances

I give it a couple of weeks before she hates it.

Yep nothing fitted well. Really poor. You know there's cheap, dare I tighten this? Moments occasionally? The whole this felt like I was going to strip something. Horrible feeling on someone else's new bike.

At least it's moderately sensible and doesn't have comedy suspension. It would be OK for a runner to the station, school or shops.
