Road Rage
Last week I had to stop a guy attacking another one in the middle of the road - one had run the lights whilst on the phone and the other had objected. I actually had to take the attacker's car keys out of their car and tell him he wasn't getting them back till he calmed down.
Looking back on it, I was lucky I was feeling all parental and in control or the situation could have panned out very differently.
Have you lost it on the roads, or have you been on the recieving end of some nutter?

Where's There's Muck......
A kind of road rage I suppose.
We used to have a farmer around here who had a bee in his bonnet about Natwest. So much so that he used to flip every once in a while and get out his farming equipment.
Over the years he sprayed one branch with liquid slurry not once, but several times. He would also turn up at another branch every so often and dump tons of cow shit right outside the front entrance.
Of course he was fined, bound over and even given a suspended jail term at one point.
But the old bugger won in the end. Eventually, after 10 years of giving them shit the bank caved in and paid him £300 000 to end the long runnning campaign.
We need more people like him.
