On the roads there are only two things that scare me, stupid animals (inc birds) and taxis. Well, just imagine my glee when I had both confront me this moring on my way to work.

As I’m driving up a hill I see two partridge-like birds (I can’t tell a partridge from a pheasant, mostly because I don’t really care) so one of the birds decides (and rightfully so) that it’s going to stay put and eventually run away from the road. The other one however seems more than happy to run in to the road and in front of me.

Normally, I’d make an attempt to slow down/stop for these as it could have done some dammage to my bumper and undercarriage, alas, the taxi that was up my ass prevented me from doing so.

Needless to say my car 0wn3d that bird and indirectly 0wn3d the taxi too by showering it feathers which promptly caused her to give me a bit of space.
