    Workman forgets brain in Bap Shop

    Postby BigDave » Thu Feb 01, 2007 6:41 pm

    A big well done to the guy driving the Absolute Scaffolding wagon towards Ramsey on the coast road this morning at about 9:40.

    Swerving into the middle of the road to cut me off as I was overtaking was a move of sheer genius, bravo.

    I hate the british attitude to being overtaken, it's not a bloody insult.

    I think I must have been behind the same guy the other week on my way to Ramsey at about 4:45pm. He kept on swerving out to stop me from getting past and at one point he was doing about 80mph when the legal limit for him I think is 40.

    If I sped up so did he, if I slowed down so did he.

    What really annoyed me was the mud coming off the truck going all over my car. :evil:

    Alot of people do hate being overtaken, it's weird!....although I wouldn't know what it feels like :twisted: :lol:

    I overtook a focus one night (safely i might add) it's not like I did anything to endanger them, I got stuck behind a bid further down the road and all of a sudden this focus comes flying up behind swerving around and flashing his lights!! Mother hubbard angered me :lol:
