The wind was howling and the rain bounding the tarmac, but a baddass bunch of rule 9ers carried on pedalling through the shitstorm that is the British summertime.

Alison: My boss is such a bitch. I can't take it anymore, I'm sending in my resignation right now.
Jill: Rule of 9; back away from the laptop. You'll thank me in the morning.

Standard calling etiquette needed for morons who would otherwise call people at any hour of the day. Monday - Friday you don’t call someone before 8am, Saturday before 9am, or Sunday before 10am.
Bob was awakened by his cell phone ringing at 6:43am. It was his drunk buddy Dale returning Bob’s call from yesterday. Clearly Dale needed to enroll at phone etiquette school to understand the 8 9 10 rule.
