    Without which I suspect I'd be mounting a bedside vigil.

    Sharon was on her way home from work this evening, and was exiting a
    roundabout near the Pixies' place (the one where the A507 crosses the
    A6). As she came round the exit she was confronted with a white car
    approaching at speed, on her side of the road...

    She clogged the brakes and swerved around him, ending up on the wrong
    side of the road herself, and stalling the car. A van driver saw what
    had happened and stopped to check she was OK (cheers mate!). Meanwhile
    wrong-side-bloke swerved back onto the left hand side and fucked off.
    unfortunately no one got his plates.

    She was one very shaky bunny on arrival back at Eaton Towers.

    I wonder, drunk or foreigner?

    Caramba! Give her another tot.
    Who knows, even though no-one got the plate, if it had been a foriegn one,
    someone would have noticed the fact.

    Could have been a drunk foriegner in a stolen car of course...

    Hells bells man, give her one from me as well.
    Go on, you're trying to say Asylum Seeker here, aren't you?

    Or could it have been a pissed-up pikey in a Polski-Fiat?

    No. Could be anyone really, that's the point. Sounds most likely they were
    foreign though. Would have swerved left otherwise. Prolly.
    Or perhaps a sozzled spic in a spandy Subaru
