Albatross strikes again!
« on: 24 May 2011, 21:47:31 »

Driving down an A road at 60, THUD, total whiteout.  TB’s Giant Super Mega Albatross has struck again! 

It took quite a while for the wipers to clear enough to see out at all – if I’d been overtaking I’d likely be a deedyin. 

Pulled into the next layby for a better cleanup job and saw that the first impact had actually been on the bonnet.  Is spread out in a V shape 2 feet wide and covered the entire driver’s side of the screen.  If they've already got the technology for bouncing bombs, will it be air blasts next?

Anyway, are albatrosses really that big?  I reckon it must be martians!

The old saying - 'better out than in' - must apply across the species devide all the same. ;D
