The bus. How I hate the bus.
When I went to college I had to get 4 a day. So much life on those things.
One time sticks in my mind.
Walk upstairs, find window seat, large lady in front of me.
Sit down, phone out, checking my mad social updates. Chuckling at the freshest of memes.
Look up, now this woman was incredibly large, but that was no concern. What was the concern was her string vest, that revealed on her back the most horrendous tattoo I've ever seen in person.
Two pale blue angel wings, and in the centre some text...
"99% BITCH".
I CAN'T EVEN.

I was driving through some little village that I always do to get to my parent's house. No race, is village, drive sensibly like good citizen.
Coming down hill, car is loud, but no speed.
See an old man, he's running to the side of the road from his garden, flapping his arms.
Shiiiit must have gone down, so I slow right down to see if I can help.
He runs into the road and waves his arms downwards telling me I need to slow down. That was the big emergency.
There's a van stopped on the other side of the road, I look at the driver, both with confused looks on our faces. We both laugh a bit. I look back at the old man, kind of gesture "the fuuuck you mean slow down?", I'm angered by him not acknowledging my reserved and thoughtful driving through his village.
Naturally I gear drop and let him hear the song of my people.

Right so I'm driving my usual summer drive, through Ditchling up and round to Chaley, then down to Lewes, great route.
I'm coming round one of the tightest corners and open it up as the road straightens out, up ahead I see a Lupo go for the overtake coming towards me, he sees me coming and goes for it anyway. Needless to say there isn't room for this manoeuvre.
I apply some mild braking force and give him a couple of pop-up light flashes to say "yo man you're in my lane, vat ze fuk?", and he just angrily gives me the middle finger as he goes past, showing off to his mate who was no doubt terrified in the passenger seat.
Fair play.
The another one right, so I'm going up to Devil's Dyke because it's great fun, and I'm going over the roundabout by the A27. This bell shoots out of the exit from the 27 slip road, I had to slam on as he flew over the roundabout. So naturally horn, give him the old shaky fist w*nker, and then carry on my way.
Then out of nowhere this old bald guy is just raging at me, he's just sat in traffic and saw the whole thing, he screams at me, hands waving, F'ing and blinding as I drove past. I'm allegedly at fault for almost being hit.
I need a dash cam, the mentality of drivers out there is just pure insanity I swear.

dash cam is the greatest plan
but unlike what i did at 5fest, I would recommend putting an SD Card in one so it actually records what you're doing

D'oh!! 
I am resisting a dash cam as long as I can - I resent the need to record everything nowadays 'just in case' because one's word is apparently no longer good enough, and because people should drive to the best of their abiliities and in a responsible manner at all times, not just when some King Of The Road has got an HD widescreen dash cam and a 'Protected by [insert manufacturer name here]' sticker stuck to every window in the belief that it has magical powers that will stop them being crushed to death by a 44-ton HGV or sideswiped by a dickhead in a financed-to-the-hilt all-options-ticked base-engine Merc 
I do also try to be of the mindset that if something almost happens or I annoy somone, perhaps I did something that I could have done better or I did not anticipate and plan well enough (trying to have an advanced driver mentality and all that), but as the man bilbo highlights, there are increasing numbers of utter Canoetards on the road who do things that make literally zero logical sense in any of the potentially infinite universes there may be.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of using the M5 in both directions, this involved miles of narrow lanes with 50mph average speed cameras, the return was worse, from the M6 junction there are miles of roadworks and NO CanoeING WORKERS, no wonder the “works” take so long, the only person I saw was a digger driver laying back in his seat on his phone. Why don’t they just get the job done, it’s been going on for Canoeing years and the signs encouragingingly advise they will be finished in 2022!!!!
Pisses me off!
