As far as traffic related weirdness goes, today has to be at the very top! 
Left home at 6:15am this morning to get the car to Clive for a little bit of paint splashing
Programmed the route into satnav a few days ago, usual stuff... Whether flood warnings or some cosmic rays, but something definitely screwed up my Garmin this morning - sent me through every tiny village in Cambridgeshire, arrived at Clive's just after 10am, instead of about 8:20 
On the way there: got forced off the [narrow country lane type] road by a bus, coming off the bend half way into my lane, had to swerve sharp to avoid having my face embedded into his radiator, curbed the front N/S wheel ... 20 min later a bird, looking more like a small velociraptor, walked calmly onto the road, managed to avoid it, as other lane was empty ... unlike a huge pothole a few minutes later, which I had to brave as there were a few cars on the other side, and an idiot tailgating behind ... While going through some town centre, an old lady (shouldn't really call her that), looking like she had just escaped from a drug rehab, in a dirty and battered C-class behind me, spent about 10 minutes plucking her moustache (I kid you not!) with her rear view mirror completely turned to assist in such an important exercise, she then picked something out of her nose and ate it! FEW TIMES!!!
When I finally arrived at Clive's place and apologised for being late, I thought the weird part of the day is over...
Meeting Clive was great and I'm really glad I took the car to him
I also had a very pleasant ride to the station in his lovely new CLK :bannana:
OK, so I bought a ticket, got on the train to London, grabbed a magazine ... nice. About ten minutes into the journey, we actually hit someone! ...almost two hours stationary, air ambulance, police helicopter, the works. Finally the train pulled very slowly to the next station and we were told to leave...
Not a day you forget in a hurry!

and I was only doing 38mph in 60 zone ... which I'm glad I did. Very sharp bend ...
