Bummer! Monday morning too!
Dean, did you think there's some sort of cosmic conspiracy against you?
Here, I reversed into some Chinese bloke last week who had driven right behind me as I was reversing into a car parking place by a road; flip knows why he went there; and he leaped out and shouted "Two hundred pounds"!
His car was a wreck before I reversed into it; I didn't think it looked legal, so I said, "No, I think we'll do this through our insurance!"
He didn't speak much English, so phoned some Chinese friends who turned up within minutes and they were all chattering away at a million miles an hour - like they do - and the female Chinese friend (who obviously fancied me) asked me, "Are you Chinese?", and I had to sheepishly admit I was Japanese (it's like the British/French thing; the Chinese don't like the Japanese).
They were from the local takeaway; I thought I was going to end up in the chop suey at one point!
And then later that day my ladders flew off the top of my van on a roundabout 'cos I never strapped them on and nearly caused another accident.
Wor Lass asked, "Where is your mind today?"
