is there anything worse than little herberts driving round in daddy's car giving it the big one? Little cunts. Earn your own money then we'll see who cries themselves to sleep at night.
Years ago when
Jeeves and Wooster was originally on TV I religiously videotaped it to keep forever. One evening I was at a friend's house and the programme started. I realised I'd forgotten to set the video so I jumped in my mum's battered second-hand Fiat Panda and shot off home to catch as much of the Fry & Laurie fun as I could. I drove like a madman and had got into the silly habit of not actually stopping at give way lines, I just slowed down and tried to nip out most of the time.
At the same time, a little herbert was tooling around in
his mother's car. A brand new BMW with low trim. His parents had gone on holiday and told him not to use their shiny, spanking gem, so of course he ignored that.
You know what happened.
I nipped out, he sped round the corner much faster than I had anticipated and we crashed. Well, he crashed into me after stamping on the brakes and leaving a massive skid mark on the road, to say nothing of his Y-fronts. The hilarious thing was that the Panda was completely unharmed and the Beamer's low trim got totally mangled.
I still maintain it was his fault due to the excessive speed, but technically I was in the wrong for entering the road in the first place. His parents found out and I imagine he got hell for it. I'd never seen this guy before, but of course after the crash he suddenly appeared on the morning train into town every day. He wouldn't look at me, lol. I had no sympathy, he made me miss that episode of
Jeeves and Wooster!
I have since bought them on DVD and greatly enjoyed every precious minute. Soon it'll be time for a re-watch. The benefits of having a poor memory.
