    ...and this was with your new loudener on?



    (I think he was crying; so you would not get the idea of making him cry).
    Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

    Ah, of course. The "previously crying" hyposthesis makes a lot more sense.

    I'm fairly certain from his demeanour that "other" things were going on.

    I've given away the revenge thing and getting angry stuff. It's not worth it.


    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Yes, very good attitude - getting angry doesn't do any good but it's so easy.

    I had a daily instance of car moving lanes into mine recently. I gesticulated angrily, then felt a bit ashamed as the car full of young kids turned around to look at the big mean biker.

    Very Ghandi-esque Jim! I think I would have been thanking my lucky stars more than worrying about him...
    Something for me to learn eh?
    They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
    Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
    we will remember them

    Most deutsch pilots are. I scored the rear view/indicator off a merc who tried to put me into the median barrier. Unfortunately the police were very quick to pull me up (he phoned them) but the cop took my side when the driver said "he came out of nowhere" when I was on a bright red bike, bright gear and headlight on. Guy was a lawyer and I thought he was going to shed a tear when the cop said "well if I do him for kicking your mirror then I will have to do you for dangerous or careless driving".

    Some taxis are class, but so many are just ass!

    Nice save there eh Jim. Yeah Taxi's aren't so bad, its those feckin couriers that need a good dealing to. Nice work comforting the merc driver too. I would have been more inclined to dish out a good verbal at him!
