Evening Hate

[Just Zis Guy]

The Evening Hate was particularly bloody today. I must pay more attention to the TV schedules -
clearly it is a miustake to be on the roads before East Enders, as clearly getting home in time to
see it is a matter of life or death (provided, of course, that it's someone else's death).

Remember the Two Second Rule? A cagetrain went past me, four cars, I timed (roughly) from the front
of the first to the end of the last. One and a half seconds. Twunts. And of course beign a cagetrain
the last car had only moved halfway out by the time he was alongside me, at which point the car in
front of him pulled in - so of course he followed it. I hate cagetrains.

Still, I had a good laugh at Captain Clueless revving the nuts off his Corsahaven'tgotagirlfriend
1.2 in second gear, six inches behind someone who was pootling along at 30 (the limit) and evidently
perfectly happy to continue doing so ad infinitum.

That's just one of the joys of owning a Landrover ... it doesn't matter what speed you're going, we
normally just bimble along well under the limit, the CorsaNovaAxClio brigade with dustbin exhausts
can't do a thing about it .. and it's very hard for them to intimidate someone that's in something
that's twice their size and four times their weight ...

That sounds like what happened to me this morning. A large black mercedes pulled in on me just
before the end of a bus lane. I had a few words with him at the traffic lights just ahead of where
the incedent occured. His reply "I was following the car in front". All I could think of was SHEEP.
It must be a herding instinct.

These people all seem to disengage their brains before engaging their first gear. The inane twaddle
they come up with to justify their actions seems to confirm it.

Cheap pseudo-champagne rather than cheap red wine today as I'm now 39. Only 366 days to go before I
become extremely elderly.

Me too, 44.33, but I still feel under 30. I've just worked out that next year I'll have worked in my
present place of employment for half of my life.
