Happened to me once on the M25 in 98/99 - approaching J20 a French Perrier lorry in Lane 1 moved across, clipped my rear wing and spun me around in front of it until it managed to come to a halt.

A plod car stopped and then said they see it happening on average once a day with the foreign lorries.

I was driving a 68 MGB, which they sorted out on the insurance.

Glad I was in a low sportscar rather than something taller that might have tipped over.

I had a mate suffer the same thing on the Kingston Bridge on the M8 in his wee Metro. It was a fully loaded quarry truck and it pushed him along the road for several hundred yards. The driver didn't even know he had hit anything until other drivers on the road managed to get his attention. The Metro was about half as wide as it started out.

When I was working for the Council refuse department for six months there were three incidents.

1. Bin Wagon leaving the tip, a woman came around the bend and went under the back of the waggon ripping the roof off her car although she actually avoided all but minor injury.

2. Bin motor reversing up narrow lane, driver was coming up the lane behind it and right in it's blind spot, didn't realise it had gone into reverse until it was crunching it's way through the front of his car. The driver said that he didn't feel anything wrong physically but 'sensed' that he should stop reversing.

3. Reversing bin wagon punted a parked car out of it's parking space and down the sloping garden into the front room of it's owners house. Driver didn't feel a thing.

Moral of the story is that Bin Motors will seriously mess up your day if you don't watch out for them.

Every genuine lunatic I've ever met is like that pair.
You never know what's coming next! 😳

I was once introduced to a guy by a mate & told in advance he was mentally unstable & feared by everyone that knew him. No description of the guy was offered but I had built a mental picture of what he probably looked like.
The reality was totally different & he looked about as scary as a new born lamb.
A row broke out in the pub after somebody said Leeds Utd were shite. Mr Lunatic (a big time Leeds fan) left the pub. Much to my amazement & disappointment. At that point I was convinced he didn't deserve the fearsome reputation he had.

A few mins later he returned with a samurai sword & with every intention of using it! 😳
Puffball fans, ya can't trust em! 😎

I was in a kebab house, many years ago. When a bloke complained about not having enough meat in his kebab. A fight started with the owner, and the other customers, fed up with waiting, threw the bloke out on the street. I was outside with my mrs, eating our kebabs, when he opened the boot of his car, and got a sawn off out of it. As we were making a hasty retreat, he started shouting, and blew the window in. Scary as fuck. As i recall, that little tantrum cost him 8yrs.

This is the way to go. You would need arms like Popeye though.

Role Reversal.

This is an AEC Mk I with CALM (Crane Atlas Lorry Mounted). In 1981 they were still (just) in service. They were notoriously, slow, heavy and indestructible and accordingly nicknamed Knockers! I had one hit at speed by a Merc 200 saloon. The truck was t boned travelling at maybe 10 mph by the Merc doing maybe 80.

Tragically the car driver was killed. He clipped the outstretched arm of the Don R (despatch rider) in fluorescent gear warning of the crossing convoy 300 yds up the road. It was generally supposed by witnesses he was trying to beat the truck and pass in front. He hit the CALM stabiliser leg and was shoved into his own boot by the engine block. Pretty horrible.

The driver just felt a huge impact before he was suddenly pointing at the woods and not the exit road. The truck chassis was slightly bent but not enough to take it out of operational service……once the steering was adjusted a bit. It’s not as if we were going to get a new one. They stopped production in 1964. 🤔

Mr Atkinson is now on my list of people to buy a beer for if I ever meet him 🙂
What a brilliant & truthful video.
Unfortunately, if anyone without his high profile tried to say the same. They'd possibly fall foul of the very law he's trying to change 😏

There is a preacher in Bournemouth, who speaks in a park on Sunday's. He was arrested, and charged, last year,for quoting the bible on homosexuality. After some limp wristed fucker, reported him for offencive behaviour. Can i now report them for kissing in public, because that really offends me. ? Is the bible now a banned book , not to be seen, or heard of in public ? How doe's that affect all of the church sevices ? because they are all held in a public place too. I am really pissed off with the way things have gone recently. But what i find even more incredible, is the amount of people that agree with it, or just accept it.

This is racist, sexist & it mocks the disabled (the Majors dementia)
By my standards, it's just comedy 🙂...

Talking about women. and comedy. I once met an old cattle rancher, on a dirt road in Queensland. As we shared a few tins of beer, that i had in the ice 1794770_577263245714690_1580322594_n (1).jpg1794770_577263245714690_1580322594_n (1).jpgbox of my car, i asked him how he got on for women in such a remote place. He said, women are no fucking good, no matter where you are. If they never had a cunt, they would be the loneliest creatures on the planet. :)

I had a go at dwarf throwing in a small outback town pub. After watching everyone else make a bollocks of it, I devised a strategy. I grabbed the the little fucker by his left ankle and wrist. Then rotated a few times, giving it all i had to gather momentum, like a hammer thrower..Unfortunately, i got a bit giddy, and miss timed the letting go part though. So instead of him landing 6ft up the Velcro wall, he crashed into a window frame, and dropped down onto a table smashing it all to fuck.. That caused a fair bit of consternation. Especially from the people who were sitting at the table eating. :) They did look a right mess though, all covered in food and booze. I didn't get the prize for the highest throw. But i did get a few beers bought for me, just for entertainment value i think. :)
