It's amazing the number of people who pretend they have

I've pointed this out to car drivers, and get reactions
such as "there's no sign".


That baffles me. Sounds more like "oh I've been caught. If
I shout
back I may not look such an arze".

I remeber up the local main road a could of chineese
students crossing
the road when a right lardy bloke in a big rover pulled
into the road
and started paping on his horn and shouting as they were
in
the way.
As they carried on crossing the road I decided to take
that moment to
cross too, slowing down the fat c#nt again.


You didn't? How naughty, tut, tut. (tee hee).


I though he was going to have a coronary, oh he was a
shaven headed fat c'nt too. Personally I can't stand
arrogant jerks on the road, to many people get far too
streesed.

If I'm going to town I usually use the bus although its a
bit rough with the being thrown around in it or use the
m/cycle if I am in a hurry. It does make me laugh watching
peole get more and more p!ssed off with each other becuae
they are stuck in queues.


I was visiting someone in London one day and made some comment about the
traffic congestion (this was long before Congestion Charging or even the
position of Mayor was thought of). The person I was tallking to agreed that
it was bad. When I suggested that if one was to say to all those people
stuck in traffic jams that "They could make a useful contribution by not
using their car" they would probably consider you to be mad. The expression
on the other persons face was a picture, the penny had suddenly dropped.
