Not from me, mate - I'm turning into someone who would lie to the police
and give you an alibi if what you fear should happen

If it's stupid and it works, it ain't stupid

I'm having a bit of a problem with cars. Whereas I used to shrug and
think "idiot" when a driver put me in peril, I now find myself imagining
dire violence and, vocally and with gesticulations, letting rip.

Funny - I seem to have the opposite problem. I take these kind of incidents
with too much levity - just today, I was returning home riding in the cycle
lane past a queue of cars when one driver decided that he would move into
the cycle lane. A squeal of brakes, a near miss, a shrug and within five
seconds the incident was forgotten. I'd like to think that if I had shouted
at the driver, he might not be so inclined to repeat his behaviour.

Can we do a swap?

I just use the most foul language known to man. No-one can hear me, but
I feel better.

I just rationalise it by thinking I'm not going to let them add to the
insult by ruining my day with me fuming about what has just happened.
Ranting and raving will not affect them much but it has a big impact on
my day and I'm not prepared to concede that to them. Shrug it off while
making your point clearly.

Rip the head off an idiot driver and get it out of your system?

Hang on ... you're a politician, aren't you?

I look forward to your party's position on the major cause of violent
injury and death in modern Britain[1]. Perhaps they can be kept under
house arrest?

I will always explain revoked keys, unless the UK government
prevents me by using the RIP Act 2000.

Hey, a bogus terrorist has to be worse than a bogus asylum seeker, don't
they? Anyway, anything that nice Mr Blair says must be true, cos he
would never dream of "sexing up" the case.
