This morning i had a hilarious incident with two of her majesties finest.
Hooning up the A3 this morning late for work, just past Oval i went through a red, thinking i could make the gap between two cars...i made the gap but gave the car behind gave a prolonged honk to which i returned with the finger without looking...ooops...turns out to be a police in one of those silver eco cars with two neighbourhood watch types at the helm.
Surely enough i get pulled, below is the transcript of the subsequent conversation
popo 1 : rant rant rant...spitting rage etc...i've never seen that before, that was so dangerous....rant rage rant
me : Im late for work, you finished?
popo 2 : extreme more rant rant rage rage
me : (looks very hurt by the nasty mans words)
Then the usual...'do you know how dangerous that is' etc and the classic 'we'll be the ones scraping you off the floor'..etc
popo 1 : motorists hate cyclists you know
me : and that's my fault is it?
popo 2 : How tall are you?
me : About this tall
popo 2 : Any tatoos?
me : Well i've got a tatoo of your name on my arse if that helps
popo 1 : EXTREMELY PISSED OFF RANT RANT RAGE RAGE
Now this is my absolute favourite bit, i did burst out laughing when it came out...
popo : 'You should be more careful about who you give the finger to, the next person might have a gun - especially round here'
me : Ummm....isn't it your job to make the community safer and that people don't get their hands on them? I mean that is what is says on the side of your car, right?
popo 1 & 2 look at each other think about saying something then think better of it.
me : Well unless there's anything else? thanks for your time officers, i promise to never do it again
Cue me wobbling along and crying with laughter....
Those two we're great i mean, i've paid more money to go to overhyped comedy nights that were worse than that. Seems like £30 well spent to me...
