The commuting thread

[Papa Lazarou]

Having already posted about my near death experience with some twat in a Jaguar who was on his twatty mobile, I think it time that a commuting thread should be started.

I'm starting it here, because I'm Welsh and I hate the English. It may be just as pertinent to other oppressed aboriginals worldwide.

My commute is 100 miles each way, taking in the M23, the M25 (the busiest road in Yurp tm) and the M1. I do this commute on the ungainly but sure footed Triumph Trophy 1200 (ta, Bill).

On Monday, I set off a bit late, as the dog had to go to the Vet for a check up.

M23, easy, M25-a 4 lane highway...

Got to the Guildford A3 turnoff. Trouble ahead-about three accidents al the way up to the M1, north of London (I'm coming up fromm the south).

So: 50 miles of stationary traffic.

Anyways, trickle through irate car drivers until I get to a section where the silly feckers have their doors open and are standing in the road.

Beeping, over revving the old bird-makes em jump, when I'm six inches away (they can't hear me???)

Peeps in the road. Many resent me getting through.

Scary bloke. Ginger hair. Ish.  Bout 7'8" feet tall. Possibly. Scowls, points, hates me. Threatens me, fingers  and a fist-idjut.

Then, he closes his van door. Will he move around to the front of it? Feck no. He is now threatening me with his fists. And he's a ginger.
He stands against his van, after closing the door. His size twelves stick out in front of him. I plead with him, with my deep brown eyes, to move to the front of his van. He scowls and shakes his savage, ginger head.

What to do? keep going.

I heard the scrunch of foot bones under my wheels.

I hear the not so muffled screams and curses.

Did I stop?

Feck, nose.

I was empathizing right up until the ginger comment.  I'm not even red-headed, but casting certain folks in a negative light the way you did made me quickly lose interest in anything you had to say afterwards.

Did you get a new job?

[Papa Lazarou]

Nope, Ralf, still doing agency (temporary) work. Thanks for asking.

Sorry to hear. Good luck finding something permanent!
