An evil b*****d on occasions
Posted Jun 2, 2004
So there was me, driving back from the more distant of my two offices, and I have to join the A23 dual carriageway into Brighton. As I swing across the bridge that leads to the (rather short) slip-road I spy three lorries thundering along the inside lane, and I think to myself, "right I shall be pulling in behind them." Sorted.
Now I'm hacking it down the slip-road at some 68 miles per hour, indicator on, matching my speed to the third lorry and ready to pull onto the main carriageway. When suddenly some uber-bitch in her CLK pulls up behind those lorries, and takes the space that I'm about to pull out into!
Did I mention it was a short slip-road? Yes, well I've now got about 40 yards of road to slam on the brakes; check that there is nothing behind said bitch; pull out, obviously then going at a much lower speed, so thus causing a road hazard. If I don't do all that then I'm static at the end of a slip-road with no chance of making it onto the main road, or even worse, in a ditch!
Now here's where the evil bastard bit kicks in.
After getting myself safely onto the main road, I went looking for this idiot in her Merc. She'd overtaken the lorries and was happily wending her way down the road at about 75. So I appear right behind her: and I mean right behind, something like about 3 feet, and harry her the whole way to the end of the road.
Was this an over-reaction on my part? Yes.
Was that totally irresponsible behaviour on my part? Yes.
Do I care? What do you think

Reasons why my home town is immeasurably cooler than yours - part 2
Posted May 24, 2004
I popped out for 20 minutes or so down to the local supermarket to buy some late night provisions. The route there takes me across a largish green at the bottom of the hill from my house.
Standing around on the green was a small bunch of people, taking advantage of the gathering darkness, and the warm summer night to practice their juggling skills with flaming torches.
Now how cool is that

Late night / Early morning
Posted May 12, 2004
It's pushing on towards 5am and I've given up trying to sleep for tonight. So I've decided to wander back on site to pass the time until it's time to get dressed and go to work for another day.
There we are then, right now it's just you and me and my raging toothache
