Wolf! Sort of.
Back in the days, with a freshly minted licence and access to Mumsie's Maestro, I was the king of the road. Well, second cousin of a Duke of the Road. Maybe.

Being as this was before the days of t'internet, DVDs, Playstations or even decent 'pooter games, myself and random mates would trundle off into the remote wee roads in the countryside. Often at ludicrous speeds, as we were 18 and therefore immortal.

Belting down this little one-track road, at night, suddenly a flash of grey fur as the alleged wolf lept into our path.

In stereo "SHIIIIT".

Screech of brakes, onto grass, skid, ROCK!, overcorrect, DITCH!, Crunch.

12 foot deep ditch.Whoops.

We clambered out somewhat woozily, and I staggered off down the road to the nearest house to beg the use of a phone and get a bollocking from the householder for driving too fast. My nervous "it was a wolf" didn't go down too well.

My other mate, who I had begged to bring his parental Volvo to pull me out, turns up in his fucking Lada.

Eventually a very friendly local farmer hoicks us out with a tractor.

Off we go, my rescuers and I in sedate convoy, and then we see.....my nemesis.

The wolf.







Okay, it was a badger.

Happily trotting along the road, basking in his victory over man and machine.

"Right you bastard" sez I. Before I could even change gear and launch into badger-squashing-vengeance, VOOM he's off like a racehorse with a chilli enema.

Turbo-charged badger cunningly disguised as a wolf: 1

Me: 0

Sigh.

would you try to kill the poor badger? he didn't do anything wrong. he was just walking back to his nest and you nearly ran him down!

Nope, he leaped out
From behind a rock pretending to be a wolf.

Pedant mode on

'Sett' not 'Nest'

Unless you have flying badgers?

Pedant mode off

*thinks flying badgers*

*thinks Kaol & Photoflop*
