The tailgaters like to edge out as if to see past you, and one day I will run one of them straight into a bollard. So far I have contented myself with the rear-view mirror sight of their swerving.<br /><br />For your link - no, she's lying, transporting goats like that is definitely not allowed in the UK. You can cram commuters onto a subway train using hydraulic rams and compressed air, but there are very strict regulations about transporting animals.<br /><br />Let's hope she doesn't come back here. Then again, she would not have been released if she had done that here. We Brits can get very nasty about animal cruelty.Romulus Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275578435620952450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13423684.post-3329004777570395342010-06-16T05:10:13.765+01:002010-06-16T05:10:13.765+01:00You are too funny. People do the same thing here. ...You are too funny. People do the same thing here. I learned a similar tact from my sister who can be quite scathing: I turn to the offending person and ask quite loudly, "Have you ever heard of personal space?" They usually blush and stammer as they back off. Now, I just leave my cart between them and me, so they CAN'T get close. And omg,it annoys the crap out of them!<br /><br />I also slow down for tailgaters. Someday, I'm going to have a bumper sticker made that says "I brake for ghosts," and when someone rear ends me, I will tell them they were warned!<br /><br />I hope you don't mind, but I saw this news article, and immediately thought to ask Tom Sheepandgoats about it: <br /><br />http://enews.earthlink.net/article/str?guid=20100614/854b5d7c-2411-4d41-bcf0-7e20a32925e0 <br /><br />I hope he sees it before it expires.astrologymemphis.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08094432734141490681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13423684.post-20774361708768237782010-05-20T23:39:50.817+01:002010-05-20T23:39:50.817+01:00Seriously?

Someone was offended that you were being cautious with your bank details?<br /><br />I think I'd have responded to that whine of 'Don't you trust me?' with 'Frankly, you don't look like someone I'd ever trust'.<br /><br />Haven't experienced that one yet, but I'm ready for it now.Romulus Crowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275578435620952450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13423684.post-72942388949271504242010-05-18T04:45:50.361+01:002010-05-18T04:45:50.361+01:00"Would it be easier if I just told you the nu..."Would it be easier if I just told you the number, so you won't have to watch me type it in?"<br /><br />LOL! <br /><br />Once a complete stranger in the queue at the grocery whiningly accused me of not trusting him because I shielded the keypad with one hand while typing in my number (by touch)beneath that shield with the other.<br /><br />Why would I trust him? And why did he think he had the right to feel affronted that I didn't let him see my bank card password? <br /><br />The world is getting weird-er by the moment.Regina Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03507654672355756028noreply@blogger.com
