Driving down the A40 towards Beaconsfield earlier, got cut up by a Jeep Grand Cherokee that was being quite recklessly driven. Interesting thing was, it had the driver's name and mobile number printed on the boot (advertising his services as a personal fitness trainer). So I phoned him up. Conversation went something like this:
"Mike, why are you driving like a complete twat?"
"Er, who's this?"
"It's Malcolm Mike."
"Um, do I know you?"
"I don't think so, but you were just trying to get very intimate with the rear end of my car, and you then made a very good attempt at pushing me into the ditch at the roundabout back there, so I assumed you might know me!"
"Oh, um, sorry mate, I'm a bit lost and in a bit of a hurry."
"At least you can apologise about it. Now stop driving like a complete arse."
Laughs nervously. "OK then, sorry." Hangs up!
Who says mobiles should be banned from cars?!!

Those plates should be compulsory!! Mind you, I didn't need it yesterday - I came up to a roundabout turning right, indicator on, and a Punto pulled in front of me from the left - allowable as he had just enough time to get round, but the 
twat in the Galaxy who followed him, didn't. He also didn't endear himself to me when the punto stopped on the roundabout for some other idiot, and so did galaxy man, right in front of me. Slammed the brakes on to prevent a Tamora t-boning incident, and sounded my horn. In return, V-signs, **** off shouted out of his open window - so I followed him, pulled up alongside on the dual carriageway, and vented my spleen, by questioning his parentage, suggesting that he enjoys a good twang on his wire, may well be suffering from several sensory disabilities, and he perhaps should read the highway code in relation to roundabouts, and take his driving test! Oh, and I suggested that shitbox people carriers are naff, and his moustache looked like a toothbrush, and I bet him his wife hates it. Strangely, I was so angry none of this made me feel any better....

They are usually overtaking at the same time too (I.E permanently overtaking people regardless of whether there is sufficient room).
If they can afford 40 grand for a car, why can't the afford an in-built hands free kit?
My dad has one in his pug 406 and the sound quality is superb!
