Dave you're not the only idiot magnet, I get my share of them and tonight was no different.
The traffic is as normal with both lanes choked but moving ok, a yob in a Patrol is tearing up the right lane and I could see it coming by the speed he was gaining the car in front of him and that biker's 6th sense, sure enough he pulls in front of me barely 1/2 a car length clear and with no indicator, then brakes.
As I reach for the flasher I decide no, just be cool, I'm just going to ignore you and karma will get you.
He takes the same exit and we all creep up to the roundabout. He's riding the back of the Pretty Young Thang in the car in front of him way too close and bursting forth instead of just idling along like everyone else.
PYT has now got to the head of the que and is rolling up slowly pacing herself for a gap, but then she hestitates, and stops.
Now, picture me in the cab, out loud to no-one but myself I'm saying "He's gonna get her, he's gonna get her, she's stopping now, he's not stopping now, he's accelerating, he's looking back now, he's seen her now, he's braking, one tyre is chirping, he's close, this will be close, oooh ooooh oooohh, aaaaaaand POW, he got her".
It's obviously all new to PYT so she takes a few long seconds just sitting there, then gets out to walk back to him, he is waving her to move on and pull over somewhere else. I'm chuckling.
I decide to pull over with them, fish out a card and walk up to PYT, she's still flapping, I hand her the card and tell her to call me if she has any problems.
I give him a sideways nod but I have to turn away quickly because I'm going to burst out laughing at him.
Suffer in ya jocks.
