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. Tony |

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. 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 :-) Coooooool! I dunno if I'm losing any weight but I'm certainly getting fitter and faster. Chris -- Chris Eilbeck MARS Flight Crew http://www.mars.org.uk/ UKRA #1108 Level 2 UYB Tripoli UK Member #9527 LSMR |

Tony 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. Cheers, helen s |

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. Guy -- May contain traces of irony.

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) Chris -- Chris Eilbeck MARS Flight Crew http://www.mars.org.uk/ UKRA #1108 Level 2 UYB Tripoli UK Member #9527 LSMR |
