That one sentence marks you down as some sort of prize ****.

It doesn't matter how wrong, overbearing, opinionated or foul mouthed
you've appeared, just that one sentence does it for me.

Just the first half of it actually.

 

"I'm a born and bred Yorkshireman - I say what"??????

You've never heard the phrase "I say what I like and I like what I say
'cos I'm a Yorkshireman" before? Where you been living, in a cave? I
can think of several comedians who have used it in their sketches...The
Two Ronnies" being of particular note.

 

Yorkshire born and bred. Strong in the arm, thick in the head.

S'OK Lozzo, I understand you must have lead a sheltered life.

I lived in Worksop and worked in Doncaster for 3 years, of course I
heard it. Using that saying doesn't endear Yorkshiremen to anyone except
themselves.

It's a well know fact that Yorkshiremen are a race apart from all other
Englishmen. It's just a shame they're not more apart from the rest of us.

 

Jacknifed? Doubt it, it wasn't an artic.

I was accelerating; he made no attempt to decelerate. I do know the
difference, living on this road- some vehicles slow down coming up
behind you, others don't. When you get this treatment on a regular
basis it wears rather thin.

If he didn't he should have been going slower.

 

Who the **** said I was trying to endear myself to anyone?

 

Bollocks, there's a bend then about 100m of straight road. He could
have taken his foot off the throttle and started to brake; he would have
needed to do this in any case.

Well, that's where you're wrong.

- Car
- Tractor+trailer
- Motorbike
- Several large vans

But not a lorry.

In this case, on this section of road I haven't known it once in 20 odd
years.

 

I've lived on this road for about 20 years since I learnt to drive. I
know how fast he was going since I drive the road on a regular basis.

I was accelerating from a 90 degree junction with poor visibility from 0
to about 30 when matey appears on my tail. Had he not driven
aggressively I'd have continued to accelerate to about 55. However I
take umbrage at suffering this on a regular basis.

 

Conor () gurgled happily, sounding much like they
were saying :

I think you ought to use that in your .sig, Conor...

 

Conor said...

Because the drivers only do 5 or 6 days work a month, so they lack
experience to deal with such situations.

 

In Conor said:

It would most certainly be a first, if he tried to.

 

In said:

But it doesn't stop you trying to cause the first though does it?

 

"Why, I'll stick me head in a pig, and that's saying something."

 

I'm sure there are some nice Yorkies... somewhere out there. Keep
themselves well hidden, though.

 

*yawn*

Nope, they seem to be available in most sweet shops, supermarkets etc.

 

Done.
