The bastards are out to get me!




My second R.T.A. in less than a month. This time a minivan wanted to occupy the same lane as myself. Unfortunately this part of the M4 between J27 and J28, has an intermittent hard shoulder, leaving me nowhere to go.

You are right - clearly you are a marked man!

Which branch of the Taffia have you upset?

Darn! His insurance will pay for the damages,right?

Lippy- If I have upset Cardiff's ruling class, the Taffia, they're useing contract drivers. In this case a gentleman with an Indian name.
Maybe it's because I've never watched and episode of 'Dr Who'.

Xtasy- I'm hoping the pictures speak for them selves.

Midget Arse- At least this time there was no sudden changes velocity

MJ- Yes please, and lots of saying 'There there'.

Holy crap Tickers! Look after yourself. And go out and kick your car just because these things happen in threes and you may as well get it over with in the least destructive way possible.

*makes way over to Tickers to administer some love and care*

*whispers 'there, there' in a sweet way while rubbing his knee*

*shocked and surprised it's not his knee*

I think this is a sign Tickers. You should just get off the road and stay off!!

Snooze- I'm counting the kitchen fire as one so I've already had three.

Pizzy & Taggy- Durty Pigster.

Fewclewz- Funny you should mention that. I've had cars before that have the horn in the centre of the steering wheel. As the Skoda had a horn symbol on the steering wheel, I assumed that's where it was.
It is, but only on that portion of the wheel that has the horn symbol. In the event I failed to find it only managed to hit the wrong part of the wheel.

Kyahgirl- As long as my wheels keep on turning I'll keep on driving.

Xtasy- Quite right. Of course it isn't at all perverted when you do it.

phlegm- Well, I can't honistly say that in the past I haven't been without sin. Thanks for the sympathy.

he he he, it was me it was me. I admit it, I am the Taffia's head driver.

Notice on that bottom photo, how the dotted lines in the middle of the road seem to dissappear behind the car.

I swear-maybe you should invest in a bike-this totally blows, Ticker!
OOOhhhh! Are you taking volunteers to kiss it and make it better?!?!

The kitchen fire definitely counts. Shit, what a year you've had. All clear ahead then. Now's the time to buy a lottery ticket.

What Snooze said.

Also:

I've never watched and episode of 'Dr Who'.

Heathen!

Yay! You got through the three nasty things safely. Stand by to be showered by three pieces of excessively good luck. I'd start buying lottery tickets if I were you.

Mushroom- Ironic indeed.

Ickle_bro- I've suspected your big sister and Imp of belonging to the Taffia, they both speak the secret language. I've only just noticed that about the dotted lines. I'm going to check out the other pic's.

~d- I already have a bike, I keep falling off it.
No need for kisses just at 'there there' will do.

Snooze- I have a problem with lottery tickets. I find them so complicated with all the different draws, I don't do them. I used to think if the jack pot exceeded £14m I'd take a chance.

Spike- I've seen all the other Dr Who's and loved 'Pertwee' but I've just never been near a TV when the new made in Cardiff 'Billy Piper' shows have been on.

Qenny- You could be right, I'd better make an effort to buy a ticket.

Less speculation about mine and Imp's occupations and more attention to the raod, please, or I'll have to do it again...


BTW, RTAs (road traffic accidents) are no longer called RTAs by the authorities, but RTCs (road traffic collision).
This is a political correctness / legal thing - calling it an accident could be seen as assigning blame or, removing blame.

Right then. I can go and take my anorak off now...

The only reason I can see for not calling it an 'accident' is that it's possible it was deliberate.

Oh, and yah boo sucks, you missed...... sort of.

"There-there".
