    I couldn't wait until tomorrow before posting this as it amused me no
    end.

    Coming home from work tonight, there was this plonker in an Audi A4,
    giving it one. Being the big boy, etc, etc. Driving up my arse and
    generally being a twat. He pissed me off no end. 'specially when he
    flashed his lights for me to get out the way. As I was pissed off, I
    gave him the finger and stuck in my lane (as it happened, I needed to
    be in the lane anyway to take a turn)

    As I know the roads near to where I live, I thought I'd play games with
    him. So I gave it beans, but just enough so he could keep up with me.
    Lo and behold, matey-boy wanted to do just that.

    So I came around on the short stretch of motorway, came down the
    sliproad and around the bend. I really don't know if matey boy intended
    to follow me, but he did. As I came around the bend onto a by-pass, he
    followed me around and did the flashy lights bit. I gave the finger
    again, in return. Obviously, by this time he was vexed. So I gave it a
    few beans more to take me on the slip road off onto a big roundabout
    near to where I live. My new found friend nipped up on the inside, at a
    speed a little faster than he should have done.

    At the last minute, I yanked on the anchors as he went shooting on to
    the roundabout. Right into the waiting arms of Plod. He obviously saw
    this, at the wrong time and tried to make a getaway. A couple of the
    bike coppers on the roundabout where fairly quick of the mark in
    chasing him. Leaving just two coppers behind.

    What my little friend didn't know, was that at least three times a
    week, I know that Plod are on that roundabout and they pull anything
    they can, just for the usual 'random' vehicle checks. I did though. I
    swear that one of the remaining bikers grinned at me, in the style of
    "I know what you did". :)

    That made my day. I hope they caught the fucker.

    Actually I'd have said cool story. When you write tales they just sound
    pedantic and dull.

    Maybe if you had a better capacity to convey entertaining stories in the
    English language, and weren't so god damn French about it all, they'd
    just work.....

    Using the patented Mavis Beacon "Hunt&Peck" Technique, Champ
    Me neither. Except that I find myself doing it on a fairly regular basis
    and feeling half-ashamed / half-giggling-like-a-kid after each occasion.

    It's not one of the things I admire most about myself...

    Do they have victim support in france? If so, you really need it.... For
    fuxake, it's no wonder quite a lot of people regard you as a ****. I know I
    can be unfunny at times, but this really tops it.

    Please teach me to be a **** like you....

    Champ bored us all completely to death with wittery prose along the
    lines of:
    If the cage driver hadn't been such a twat. An obvious one at that,
    then I wouldn't have wound him up. TBH, with his antics, he wound me up
    first. So I retaliated. **** him.

    As it happens, the lane that I had to position myself in, is also the
    fast lane, as the road splits off into two different directions.

    Maybe not for you, but those of us who know how to use the go-faster
    handle it's a different matter.

    As a still relative newcomer to the group i find it easy enough.

    If you're an arse, someone will tell you. Then a load of people will agree.

    If one then bitches on about how unfair the ng is, then god help you. If,
    however, you think, "yeah whatever" no one get's a bite.

    At the end of the day it's not to be taken too seriously; well, not at all
    seriously i reckon. :)

    Do your own thing, and don't expect everyone to say "what a nice bloke" and
    you'll be fine!

    Just an observation...

    You know how Bear used to pounce on every post you ever made, and how that
    was terribly unfair and really annoying?


    Cab is you, and you are the new Bear. Congratulations.


    For fucks sake, can't you give it a rest? Cab doesn't seem to care either
    way about your vendetta, or at least if he does, he doesn't go on and
    fucking *on* about it every time you post. The reason people throw comments
    your way is precisely because of your seeming inability to just let things
    go. You perpetuate your own stereotype, and so you get the same shit every
    time.


    There was a point a year or so ago where you seemed to mellow out for a
    while (new job? Getting laid more often?) and it was actually quite pleasant
    to converse with you. At the moment it's just bloody tedious.

    Take some time off, smoke some more and chill out. Please.

    I was actually just about to post something to the effect that Cab was
    being petty and stupid. However, I think I'll have to change my mind and
    applaud him for his service to bikerdom, especially if it'll wind up that
    pseudo-French tosser.

    You are right. I was being petty and stupid. But you know, it got my
    goat at the time and I reacted. It was his fault for getting me at the
    wrong time of the month...

    I imagine he disliked you because you're an opinionated, arrogant bastard
    with a thin skin. So when you're not promulgating from on high you're
    whining like a bitch about the unfairness of everything in true Rimmeresque
    fashion.

    But it's just a guess.

    Unless you like being upset.
