Well this week has been pretty busy and I have seen some strange stuff. On Monday, I had to drive halfway across the country to Swindon, and spent 2 ½ hours presenting to one of our clients. Tuesday, I spent all day schlepping around London. I was in Bishopsgate in the morning, then walked to Holburn over lunch for my second appointment. On route, I was accosted by several people pushing newspapers, magazines and religious junk mail at me. I took the newspapers as they would be good reading material on the train, and they also have my favourite game 'Soduko' in them, so that would keep me amused on the journey home. Why do they insist on pushing junk at everybody, its such a waste of paper. Also on route, I saw the strangest sight of my life so far…… A very short rotund feller wearing a bright purple leotard, stood on top of a large crate, pushing pretend weight's. What made this sight even worse for me was the fact that he was extremely hairy ALL over. It reminded me of something you would have seen in Barnham's circus way back when, right down t the handle bar moustache. There were several people standing by taking pictures of this very unusual sight. So if you come to London, you must expect the unexpected. Thursday I drove down to the office for my 3 monthly appraisal with the boss, and spent an hour parked on the M40 as there had been a major RTA and the air ambulance needed to land. There was a BMW sandwiched between a couple of trucks, poor sod. That's one of my biggest fears is that I will end up road kill by some foreign truck driver, we have more foreign trucks on our roads now and they are either very tired, just don't see you, or forget they should be driving on the left.
Anyway, I think I have ranted about drivers of various car types before, and I still maintain that Peugeot, BMW and Mercedes drivers are the worst. Anyway, must crack on and get back to work.

I agree with you about Mercedes and BMW drivers - they suck the big one, bunch of arrogant bastards that they are. But with Peugot you're dealing with an inferior make of vehicle, so you're therefore also dealing with the kind of eejit who'd buy the damn thing, so the situation really is hopeless!
