Purveyor of fine nonsense
I've been unwell over the last week, have been feeling too grotty to ride, so it's been a week of taking the car instead of bicycle/motorbike.
And my goodness, wasn't I just reminded of why I absolutely love going anywhere on two wheels!
1) Here comes a traffic jam, I'll just slip down the outside of the ... Oh great, I can't.
2) What's that light on the dashboard ... Damn it! I need diesel!
3) No, you cretin, you who are sitting one inch from my back bumper, flashing your lights at me, no I am not going to overtake the cyclist at a pinch-point! You can sodding well wait for 10 seconds!
4) Ah! I see that me waiting to overtake the cyclist safely was actually completely pointless, because while I gave him plenty of room, you just went charging past and gave him about an inch of room. Well done, you arrogant pig. Oh, your driving a TAXI! Why doesn't your behaviour surprise me ...
5) (And this was the one that really riled me) - I see, the right-hand lane of the dual carriageway is coned off with two lanes merging into one. And there's two bikers (one on a very nice custom Honda Hornet 900!) coming down the outside, so I'll give them plenty of room ... but then you, cretin, in your 4x4xRetard decide to come thundering down the outside lane and then aggressively ram the bonnet of your car in front of mine at the last minute when there's no space to do so! There isn't even any lane left to my right hand side, you're actually in my lane, trying to force me into the crash barrier! Brute!
Rant over ... roll on next week when I'm back on two wheels! ('scuse the pun!)
