27th September 2004 - Angry teaser

Grrrrrr – this is a brutal aggressive teaser for Jeanne – nothing connected with her you understand, just a way of venting steam after a shitty day (well, no change there then) and a shitty journey home. I am just about the biggest pacifist going yet I wanted to commit a violent act on one of my fellow commuters, when I was sitting in my car, less than two miles from home tonight at nearly 7.30pm stuck in a jam.

I was sitting there thinking ‘where are all these people going at this time of night?’ and ‘what sad gits haven’t they got homes to go to?’ then I looked again and saw the weary faces and the drivers alone in their cars and I thought ‘they’re just like me, on their way home from work and as pissed off as I am’.

Why? Because some stupid w*nker had jumped the lights on the dual carriageway and caused a pile up with five cars and a van. After nearly half an hour of delay, as I passed I was so tempted to jump out and punch the culprit – you can really see how road rage incidents occur. Me? I’m a mild mannered soul who rarely ever gets angry but I was so cross.

So, the upshot is that I wanted a really ANGRY song to tease Jeanne with – even though she’s on the other side of the world and walks to work. Sorry Jeanne – I’m venting my spleen on you with no excuses other than exhaustion and irritation……sorry, my friend!

Well now Ms HR – you need any clues or is this one just too easy?

And the answer is......pills and soap

Linda, I live at one end of the city, but often have meetings at the other - so traffic is a fact of life. I have a wonderful CD changer in my car that holds 10 of my faves. The rockier and the louder, the better! No road rage here - I'm too busy havin' my own little dance party in the front seat! (I get the STRANGEST looks from fellow drivers!)

"Stayin' Alive, stayin' alive .. do .. do .. do .. do ...stayin' aliiiiiiive!"

I have Tom Waits CDs to help me out in those traffic situations:)

OK, I admit that someone told me the answer!! The thing is, I KNEW the tune, I could sing it in my head and got stuck on the name!! LOL!! So, it's Pills and Soap, but I didn't figure it out on my own!

And is that one of my soaps in there?? It doesn't look like it!!

I was going to say "Dancing with tears in my eyes" but I've already said that... but the camera noses into the tears on her face!

Nice lighting on this, Linda.
Yes. i'm glad i live in a rural area.. the congestion on the freeway where I am is where there are 5 cars near each other. But i still am a road rage person..just in my head though

OK, the image is outstanding and the story even better. Hang in there.

I'm not getting this one yet...It's hard when I'm at work! I can't look at my EC collection! I'm thinking....

What were you going to do to those w*nkers -- tie them up, drug them with antihistamines, innoculate them, and then bean them with a hockey puck (or put it somewhere dark)? Another argument for continuing gun control in the UK! :) (Unfortunately, over here, our road raging assholes have more lethal weapons -- assault rifles, Hummers, and other SUVs.)

Phew! I'm sure glad I was nowhere near you at that moment...
