Today's close call was with some numpty who overtook me without having anywhere to go (parked cars and oncoming traffic) so he gets past me and slams his brake straight on causing a very hairy heavy braking moment for me on a wet road. I also spotted he was on his mobile as he went past me.
I caught up with him a couple of streets later where he had finally pulled over to finish his phone call and tapped on his side window which he dutifuly wound down. I explained how he had nearly had me off my bike with his careless driving adding how talking on the phone had obviously not helped. The loser tried to tell me he had right of way as he was a car driver. WAC! I explained the error of his ways loudly enough for the person on the other end of the phone to know their friend was a prize tosser. Hopefully he'll be a bit more careful next time but perhaps I should just take him out with my van as that obviously has much more right of way over his old Nissan.

it snows harder in a lot of countries, and people are shat off that an hour's snow causes the whole country to go into a crisis. it happens every year - they need to learn to deal with it
That's the problem - it does snow more in other countries so they have little choice in the matter other than to deal with it. It snows so infrequently here the investment in equipment to deal with it effectively would likely be unjustifiable.

I hit 104kph on a nice wide and very steep ski slope.... shat my pants - the wonders of gps!
In reality you were going much faster as the gps would have been measuring your speed as if you were moving on a flat surface but you were going downhill so would have been covering much more ground, this of course depending on the degree of slope as a quick sketch of a triangle would prove, thus your pants should have been well and truely shat in...... Tommy! Damn, there's never a mathematician when you need one..... and breathe

Unfortunately, my explanation was more of a rant but I think he got the message. If not he can always ask the person on the other end of his phone to explain it to him again :)
