Sweet, sweet justice

Read this somewhere else, thought I'd post it on the off chance that it's
true (Pappa Sneeky is his slightly odd nickname)

Pappa Sneeky was cycling around Edinburgh. He stopped at a red light. The
car behind him slowly and seemingly deliberately rolled onto his back tyre.
Usually a very laid back guy, Pappa Sneeky suddenly lost his cool. He
jumped off his bike, grabbed his D lock and took out both of the car's
headlights. The driver of this car was a huge skinhead, and he looked
really angry. Pappa Sneeky started to feel very afraid; this guy was
absolutely furious. The skinhead opened his car door and was about to get
out when a double decker bus came past in the next lane and ripped the car
door off it's hinges. Pappa took this opportunity to leave.

This is an old story. The version I heard had a flash business man in a
Jag loosing his door.

Wasn't in Newcastle, by a Mk2 Cortina ,driven by Jack Carter was it?

Cool, though .....!

I did see a cyclist bang very hard on the roof of a car which got too close.
Neither were going fast, obviously, but the car cut him in really badly. It
was loud, and I wouldn't be surprised if the roof was dented cos it was an
old rustbucket!

I once saw a rider whack on the roof of a car that had cut him up. Furious
driver emerges from car. Cyclist gets off bike - all 6' 4"
built-like-a-brick-****house of him. Driver gets back into car. End of.
Sweet.

My old acquaintance Steve "Boris" Morris [1] has had that effect on
occasion; I'm 6'3", and he's a good couple of inches taller than me, not
to mention a great deal fitter.

"Aristotle maintained that women have fewer teeth than men; although he
was twice married, it never occurred to him to verify this statement by
examining his wives' mouths."

All this violence, I'm more chilled when I'm cycling than at almost
any other time. I'm seeing more and more absurd testosterone-driven
aggression on the roads. Two men having a fist fight in the road is an
embarrassing sight.

I did know one chap who had a car right up his arse and beeping on the
Kings Road, so he stopped, threw the bike on the bonnet, and said
"Have it, you want it so much!".

Did anyone read Will Self's account of a road rage in Covent Garden?


Self rides a lovely old fiet I think, and was cut up by a 4 x 4. Self
shouted, driver screeched to a halt and jumps out, takes a swing,
drives off. Self and witnesses get the reg. Goes to court, bloke
pleads not guilty, denied everything, magistrates found him guilty and
asked if he had the £100 fine on him. The driver says no, the
magistrates order him searched, they find £400 cash in the driver's
pocket, put him in the cells for an hour and fine him another £200 for
contempt.




Sweeeeeeeeeeeet.

Yes, I guess everyone in the country must have Get Carter burned into their
memory. Several times.

I really want to see the Stallone version, just to confirm how bad it
must have been
