    It gets better. We get off at the same exit, at this time she had overtaken (what's the rush?) so she's in front of me. It's the sort of exit which is also an entrance for vehicles merging onto the highway. Which means entering vehicles on the right lane needs to cross over to the left, and exiting vehicles on the left crosses over to the right. Which also means entering vehicles speed up, exiting ones slow down.

    A pickup truck was on her immediate right. He's supposed to speed up, she's supposed to slow down. But noooooooooooo, she refuses to lose. She keeps up with the accelerating pickup truck. Remember she needs to slow down to exit. I'm falling further and further behind waiting for the inevitable to happen.

    At the last moment, thanks to her V6 engine, she overtakes the pickup. Nearly hits the pickup, nearly misses the exit, nearly hits the concrete road divider.

    Way to go, woman driver She doesn't give a damn about anyone else in the world.
    Next time when a woman tailgates, slow down and hit the brake a couple of times to irritate her. This is what I do when someone tailgates me to speed up.

    That's just asking for an accident right there. I hate tailgaters too but provoking them by brake testing is not going to both sides any favours if things turn sour...

    I usually use a less severe option: I start coasting and slow down gradually, then I speed up again. The tailgaters almost always get the message and back off, this one today didn't. She did overtake me in a huff though.

    I don't count as "bothering", but this is "odd"...

    I now average 10-15 FPS in Metro 2033 @ 1080p, Very High, DX10... I just don't understand how that is possible. I think it's the new Mjolner I project from AMD...

    Nevertheless, it's amazing! And I am very happy!

    Clocks. I absolutely HATE CLOCKS.

    I'm going to bury this clock in the garden.

    My clever dog has already dug a nice hole.

    Unlucky for you Mr. Clock.

    Just scraped my arm across the edge of the drawer and got a really deep long scratch along my arm as a result...
