    Purple, it's a warning!

    There I was blasting down the cycle path, when, on overtaking a bunch of girls I was drawing level with one wearing a purple dress.

    As I noticed the purpleness, I had one of them OMG moments, and hit the brakes, hard. Just as I did that the lady wearing the purple dress cut out in front of me.

    Hence I narrowly avoided a serious accident.

    "Undskyld!" (sorry) she says.

    "Oh, don't fuss, I saw the purple dress and just knew you were going to do something dangerous."

    "Shut up!" was the reply.

    Wonder if it was something I said?

      Is it a cue for me to go "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.... ladies with Purple Hair... Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm..."?

        Absolutely. Happens regular as clockwork. It is why I absolutely know that when you spot a woman wearing purple it is a warning something you're not going to like is about to happen.

          Hmmm, I'm sure Roman soldiers felt the same way...

            Exactly, so much so, that it was against the law for women to wear purple in ancient Rome.

              It's the same with red

              Just the other day I was blasting down the road in my car when I spotted a red light at the side of the road (I'm sure it was previously yellow).

              I had one of those OMG moments and immediately slammed on my brakes. Good thing too as all of a sudden a car came whooshing in from the side and would almost certainly have hit me side on.

                . . . and a cue for me to add "Mmmmmmmmmmmmm Gabrielle Drake"
