Cat down

By my car not the bike[1]. Saw a black blur come out of a hedge and
next thing it was under the wheels. At 60 odd on a dual carriageway
there was no way I was breaking for it.



[1] Thankfully, probably would have had me off.

 

how did you cook it?

Good call. A colleague passed a three car accident on the M3 this
morning, apparently caused by some fuckwit swerving to (unsuccessfully)
avoid a swan.

But how do you get down from a cat?

 

A swan would seriously damage your car if you hit it though, wouldn't
it? Not that that's any excuse for causing an accident by trying to
avoid it, mind.

Last weekend some numpty, going the opposite way to me, swerved towards
me to avoid some pigeons. Pigeons, FFS! Should have wiped the feathered
vermin out and done us all a favour.

 

I ran over a pigeon the other day in the Jeep - made a curiously
satisfying crunchy feel through the steering wheel.

 

Pizza.

 

Got hit on the head by one at only about 30mph - fortunately visor down but
it 'kin hurt.

 

With a shovel. Or is that how you get a leper out of bed? I always get
those two confused.

 

The same way you got up on it.

 

Why would a cat want parts from your bike?

 

Perhaps it was aspiring to be a military cat & wanted a handlebar
moustache.

 

Any fule kno yue get down from a duck.

ITYF that "dismounting is a reversal of mounting"

 

But usually more fun as it may involve angle grinders.

 

Of course. What doesn't?

Of angle grinders - I've been doing a bit of fettling this morning.
By 'eck, with a light hand and a 'soft' stonecutting disc, you can
save a lot of hand filing.

 

Well batted.

 

*ding* - at long last.

 

When I was learning to drive my grandad told me the about his friend
(I think from Yorkshire, that's irrelevant but it is annoying me that
I can't remember) who swerved to avoid a dog and mounted the kerb and
killed two children. That was just after the 'OK this is a large lump
of metal, if it all goes wrong here's a variety of methods to slow it
down without killing yourself or me or any bystanders' sppech.

 

That will have been the cheap mexican wheel bearing collapsing.
