i am a wednesday's child
and I am full of woe. Another shabby day at work. Enough of my 80 hour week, you must be as bored as I am. I do feel a responsibility to make daily posts as Mr McMuffin is shirking his duties. Thankyou to Single Cookie for her wise words. When are the rest of you gits going to take the time?
I had an interesting experience with Mr McMuffin yesterday when I picked him up from work. He had been on a course in central London and had a couple of pints afterwards. He is quite affected by alcohol, and it exacerbated his fear of my driving. Now let it be said I am not a bad driver. I am the proud owner of a full motorbike and car license and no points. From my mad days of screaming round on a Stan Stephens tuned 2 stroke (350LC for the afficionados) I have become a very sensible driver. However MrMcMuffin's anxiety reached new proportions and he started to fake brake about 100 yards before I needed to do anything, with a terrified expression on his face. I have found a new way to mess with his mind, and now plan to only take him out in my car if he's had enough alcohol not to feel sober and very slightly anxious. I am not naturally cruel, but sometimes it is too hard to resist.

I would like to know why Mr Carrott-cake never apologises for his obvious driving inabilities, for example, driving so far up someone's backside that I am almost clawing my way out of the boot, when I , in comparison, always apologise for breaking a bit late, etc etc. Do you think it is a bloke thing, never apologising for making their passengers feel so incredibly uncomfortable?
Oh, and with reference to Mr McMuffin's comments that I could have been too drunk to know that I am organising a Murder/mystery evening for New Years Eve.......BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID, I get to decide who comes as what character!

I absolutely agree with you Mrs Carrott-Cake, with one exception...Mrs McMuffin is a woman...and she does that strange driving up people's bum thing too. And my fear, which on the surface may seem unreasonable, is based on a very real experience...When we first started seeing each other she was the only one with a car and she used to do all the driving...She has just walked in the room, looking lovely, straight from the bath...declaiming..."that its so mean, it was only once, once." Anyway, on one fine sunny day we decided to go somewhere or other. The traffic was running slow. The car in front of us stopped, but Mrs McMuffin completely ignored this and continued to drive towards it. She only slammed the brakes on when she noticed the horrified look on my face, narrowly missing an early opportunity to kill me off. A mistake she has been intent on making up for ever since...I am sure she has a different take on the whole event...In fact, her account [I am typing as she speaks] is that newly into our relationship, she was transfixed by my beauty [my words...she actually uses the word, horror...] of my face and momentarily lost concentration. She also wishes to add that my sole account of one near miss in the whole time we have been together is not really much of a story...I beg to differ...As a Psychotherapist, I fully understand the impact that the single traumatic event can have on the individual...One near death experience is, in fact, enough...

One would hope that it is both sexes that have apalling driving habits, and that these faults do not see gender as a barrier. I have evidence to condemn both sexes but as an evenly balanced individual (now don't laugh), I am going to pick on the weaker sex - that's men to you bozos out there. I mean, when you have get said driver to stop and pull over so you can THROW UP out of the passenger door because he is under the impression that 'a drive through the country' translates as 'cross country rally'; has no understanding of the concept of 'lanes' or how round-abouts work, what are you supposed to do? I have seriously considered wearing a disguise on the rare occasions I have been lured into a passenger seat beside said offender, as I am scared that other road users will recognise me at a later date, take issue, and ram the company car I am driving. And the government wonder why people don't car share......
