To the idiot who hopped out of his brown, older model minivan on Almon St. and approached my car with a golf club with the intent of using said club to cause bodily harm. I see you all the time, did you notice the uniform I was wearing when you jumped out of your shitty van? Nothing has happened to you yet, but I’m sure one of your little temper tantrums has now been caught on camera.

When you sit in traffic and honk your horn at someone who doesn’t want to get stuck in the middle of an intersection because there is a bus stopped on the other side of North St. you would expect to have the person in front of you flip you the bird or just wave you off. But then, to follow that person in front of you until they reach another red light so you can hop out and confront them with a weapon? Maybe you should think for a second and ask yourself, what kind of weapon do they have in their car? A gun? Perhaps. I’m watching you bud! —Next Time

  1. I have made a formal application to the Prime Minister to expedite the awarding of my “00” designation (license to kill).

    After which I will have my hood-mounted .50 cals installed and then roam the streets eliminating errant drivers and lost golfers.

  2. i don’t remember when it was, but during the last bus strike, i saw some crazy road *roid* rage

  3. Ivan – Layton is too busy moving the furniture around in his new office as official leader of the “came in seconds”.

  4. Ivan – we got back safely from what used to be called Great Britain, it isn’t so great any more. We had a spectacular time, the only flies in the ointment were the rain and coming back through JFK – the line up to get through security took 1.5 hours, and we were only transitting.
    We have it pretty good compared to the Brits, they’re facing massive lay-offs and reductions in service. As in most situations like this there’s an anti-immigration backlash and lots of hatin’ going on, know what I’m sayin’ fer real fer real.
    It’s nice to be home – even the fucking rain feels good – it has a Canadian bite to it.

  5. Basil – did you visit Bradistan, formerly Bradford ?
    And what about a side trip to Oldham and Rochdale to check out the no-go areas. Did you find the mansions where the furriners live at taxpayers expense and all in the family out of work ?

  6. We went to Bradford as my aunt lives out in the suburbs. When I was a nipper Bradford was a great place to visit, now it’s a dump. The rumour is that it will be the first muslim controlled city council in Britain. No major industries are interested in relocating there, wonder why?
    The little town I hail from is more like Mayberry, hardly a brownie in sight.

  7. What uniform were you wearing and why should it fill the idiot with fear? Enquiring minds want to know. LOL.

  8. I wouldn’t mess with an irate postman either. you know how they can get…itchy with the trigger finger.

    What the heck is a brownie?

  10. A brownie is a polite, or impolite, way of saying that a person could be of Pakistani/Indian origin.

    Ivan – no birthday celebrated this past Sunday.

  11. OP, of course you reported this to police right? You have the license plate number, right? Likely not.

  12. Thanks Baz – A lovely lady bought a stack of books from me on Saturday for her Yorkshire-born husband’s birthday. They had just returned from a trip to England and I thought “What are the odds?”

  13. Ivan – you’ll love this and say I told you so. Remember when I was all giddy about the retirement prezzie of a Kobo e-reader? A week into the trip some of the pixels went on a trip and blocked a section of the page making it unreadable, then lines appeared, then when it was turned off some print remained on-screen – it was fucked! I’m dealing with Kobo who are sending me a replacement, but I was pissed off and had to revert to paper boo hoo.

  14. So then, was it considered a good or bad thing that there was “hardly a brownie in sight” or was it simply an impolite observation?
