Altercation on Brixton Road

This morning, pulled up at set of red lights on Brixton Road heading north and there was a guy on a hybrid stood in front of a Merc Coupe shouting at the driver. Driver was revving his engine and threatening to drive forward but cyclist stood his ground deliberately placing his bike on the floor in front of the car. Cyclist proceeds to get mobile phone out and record car details whilst looking driver in the eye and saying with a big dose of sarcasm and a hint of menace "I'm really scared of you!" in a hispanic accent (think Speedy Gonzales). The guy in the car was a young black gangsta wanna-be type, not the type most people would want to mess with, but the cyclist himself looked a bit of a Latin King himself!
I don't know what kicked it all off or who was right, but to the cyclist, 'Chapeau' for putting on the entertaining display of machismo!

Saw an altercation between 2 moped riders heading south from Blackfriars Bridge yesterday morning. One behind came up and touched his front wheel against the back wheel of the other guy, there was a screeching noise and the 1st moped rider shot off through the traffic hotly followed by the other shouting "you f*ckin* C*NT".... Not sure what started it off...Do not write below this line. Office use only.0

We gotta live with each other dudes, like it or not! Unless you're a Saudi Prince who can buy his own motorway or something. All road users have their good and bad points - personally, I think its about
a) staying alive
b) not killing anyone else
c) trying to show some sort of respect to others
d) admitting when you're in the wrong
e) forgiving others where possible
Maybe I'm wrong, I don't know, but I've been cycling/driving/walking for over 40 years and I think the world's a beautiful place.
Now pass that duchy down the left 'and side xxRaymondo

You do realise the duchy is a cooking pot, right? Aka dutch pot . Kotchy is the word I think you want (the 'original' word in the original song). Something to do with herbs0 -

It was definitely "duchy/dutchy" in the Musical Youth track of the 80s though wasn't it? I'm sure I remember them explaining the cooking pot thing on Blue Peter! Not sure what it was in the original version....Do not write below this line. Office use only.0 -

In my youth I never quite understood why you would pass a dutch pot to the left? I used to think.. A curry goat so good perhaps?Food Chain number = 4

@ NSB
HH - the Musical Youth version of the song had to replace kochy with duchy to remove the reference to weed/ganja etc.
Didn't stop my age group singing the original words whenever the MY version was heard
Original song is by the Mighty Diamonds.0 -

For clarification, back in my younger days 'coochie' was slang for a part of the female body. Pre-multicultural Britain, when such words were deemed offensive - unlike today.0

Just give CW a straw, save pouring it out between each glass.
In my student days, my housemate and I settled down to watch a couple of films. He had a bottle of sherry, I had a bottle of port. We gradually finished our respective bottles (without moving from the sofas) and at the end of the films (and the bottles) I got up to point Percy at the porcelain and could hardly stand. I didn't notice how drunk I was until had to do something active.
