Tosser
 
Well, tomorrow I'm off to the local plod. I'd go tonight but in deepist
ruril Nofik, there isn't a local plod at night :-(

Cycling into Weigh****chers as per usual on a Thursday evening, the local
chav in his custom paint jobbie car played his usual game of how close can
we get to the cyclist. He is a dangerous tosser - and this is a regular
occurance on a Thursday. This week he really did have me almost off the
bike. I am only semi-joking when I say that if my arse was the width it used
to be I think I would not be in a position to be typing this, I'd be dead
:-( So tomorrow I'm going to report him to plod. I don't actually this plod
will do anything, but at least it'll be reported and if the tosser does
manage to kill me one week, they'll know it's not likely to have been an
accident...

On the positive side, at WW I discovered that this week I have managed to
lose 4.5lbs, bringing my total weight loss since middle of December 04 to
57lbs, or 4st 1lb :-)

Cheers, helen s

Can I suggest a cheap disposable camera? Next week when he tries it,
have the camera ready and take a flash picture, and another as he drives
away. It will worry him enough that you have photographic evidence that
he may well be put off trying it again.

Is there any chance you can use or borrow a camcorder next week and
have a remote camera mounted on your helmet/headband/bars and plugged
into it to get some evidence on tape? Having objective evidence is
much more likely to spur them into having a word with this arsehole.

Coooooool! I dunno if I'm losing any weight but I'm certainly getting
fitter and faster.

Only difficulty, he comes up behind me and he's speeding, probably well over
60mph, so I haven't got time to take a picture :-(
I don't suppose you know how to fit an Exocet missile launcher to my
handlebars?

Ta muchly! I haven't a clue how I managed to lose 4.5lbs this week, as I
don't think I've done anything different.

Might one propose the following mild rebuke, suitable for the
chastisement of such oiks:

1. Shot him
2. Burn the body
3. That is all.

Incidence of recidivism among those so corrected is, I understand,
low.

In that case you must be able to hear him coming and just happen to
drop the bag of dry wall nails you'd picked up from the local hardware
store on your way home ;o)

And have a car approaching you at speed get a blowout in a front tyre?

Good thinking

Just one? No, all of them, much more likely to keep going in a
straight line and slow down rather quickly.
