    Oh it gets better.

    I'd stopped off outside where I used to live, which had double yellows
    along the road. I was collecting something see, something large, so
    figured I'd be OK. I popped inside to find no fucker at home, so the
    chances of hefting a large piece of furniture were out. Cursing, I left
    the house only to find the local resident parking nazi writing out a
    ticket.

    Being very young and naive at that time, I figured I could reason with
    the gentlemen. After a few minutes of futility, I decided to go with the
    perceived wisdom down the local: that unless they slap the ticket on the
    vehicle, you is fine, innit. So I jumped in the car, started up and
    went to drive away.

    Little Hitler[1] stepped in front of the car before I started moving,
    and blocked my progress. I figured that running him over could only be
    a bad thing, so smacked it in reverse and shot back up the road to the
    nearest junction, leaving, in my wake, an apoplectic old **** waving his
    ticket book and shouting furiously as he ran up the road to try and
    catch me. The local nosey old bag across the street came out and was
    pissing herself laughing, which didn't exactly help the man's mood.

    I drove off laughing, thinking I had won.

    One week later, I'm down the nick explaining myself.


    [1] Which was actually the name he'd earnt himself.[2]
    [2] I'm sure with a legion of others in every town in our fair land.

    Yeah, dunno why, it quite happily did the "spring forward/fall back"
    bit, then when I got in tonight, it'd springed a bit early. On further
    investigation, me NTP settings had flown South for the winter. Should
    all be fine and dandy again and I *DO NOT* owe anyone a drink!
