Oddest thing I've seen in a while.....
Discussion
Coming round the M25 this morning, the oncoming traffic was at a standstill and a woman was out of her Discovery wandering about in the carriageway. Why?
Because in front of her car, in lane 4, was a bloody great swan!
What it was doing there I don't know, but it looked a bit knackered.. Now, do we ban swans on the road, or do we settle for them requiring insurance and some road tax? I dunno..

I heard the 'Flying Eye' report it on Capital this morning too. According to Chris Tarrant, there is a pub in Tewksbury that is allowed to serve swan on it's menu. Something to do with a royal dispensation from King John.
Fortunately my local doner take-away doesn't have the same dispensation. Chili sauce, mate?

Well, up in the Midlands part of the Aston Distressway into Birmingham was closed in the City Centre this morning, causing utter chaos on the A38 and surrounding roads. Why ? Because some slavering nutter was on top of a building, hurling anything and everything onto the road below !
Such items included "bricks and scaffolding poles", according to the news item. W Mids police advised drivers to avoid the area, and stated that during their negotiations with said madman, one of their cars parked nearby scored a direct hit, causing "serious damage"
GOOD SHOT, MAN !!!!!!

Reminiscent of that "classic" early nineties Jude Law film 'Shopping' where an angry mob drop an old fridge onto a police car.
What a great movie that was! Brilliant soundtrack.

Steady on! If you're that keen you can always subscribe to Film Four where it probably gets shown twice a day.
The bit where Jude Law knocked down dozens of traffic cones in the stolen BMW was inspiring and Sean Bean deserved an Oscar for his role!

Hmmm, whilst on the subject, a little advice. Don't ever hit a badger with your car. I did once, and it took most of the front with it. Cost about a grand to repair.
Couldn't get the badger's insurance company to pay up?
Badgers are mean little bastards, I remember coming round some lanes one night in taxi to be confronted by a badger in the middle of the road bogging the cab out ! it was almost as he was stood there shouting "come on then if you think your hard enough" the cabbie edged the car towards him expecting him to run but the nutter charged at the cab with the effect that both me and the cabbie shat ourselves about being attacked by a badger I even locked my door !! The evil little shit then just swaggered off into the hedgerow laughing, well it looked like he was laughing.
