    I have not yet. The causer's insurer has used the word "lodged" which chimes with this:

    Corporate Racism (weasel style) has been in this country for several years and has continued to multiply. It started before the 1960s immigration, few hundred years ago. It means that groups (secret or non-secret though aware or linked in some way to secret groups) use certain secretive hard to detect methods to cheat and enact other bad things. Some people don't even know that they are getting fed to be used. So it means that these controlling groups have the capacity to do harm and manipulate persons, including those incorporated and even putting them in charge (snowballing virus), into hounding falsely created faux foxes.

    Yes, something has certainly been "lodged".

    I hope the surgical procedure to remove it is successful.

    Now you've said they've used the word "lodged", I'm concerned. This rings alarm bells with me.

    Watercooling - I think I love you, you have cheered me up on a grey winters day.:kisses3:

    If we all chipped in 50p for entertainment value, you'd soon have a replacement window - possibly gold plated!

    Okay, so this is what I've managed to piece together:

    - Watercooling has a custom car, probably some sort of boy racer with a personalised number plate, that's so distinctive it's got its own Facebook group.
    -- Although he only insures it third-party fire and theft.

    - One particular day, Watercooler was driving along when some sort of driving war was instigated - the 'causer' may have been laughing at him in some way, maybe under / over taking the way that some boys do, or our friend may have antagonised them by signalling in some way. Or nothing special happened at all.
    -- The 'causer' was in the overtaking lane and drove into some gravel on the central reservation, either accidentally or deliberately, perhaps in an attempt to damage Watercooler's paintwork. Either way, the result was that his driver-side window was smashed.
    -- Watercooling then had glass flying in his eyes, so he tried to open / close the broken window, so the mechanism was also broken.
    -- He put his hazard light on and chased the 'causer' down the carriageway, now at slower speeds because they were coming up to traffic lights. The causer decided it would be a good idea to pull over and stop.

    - Watercooling phoned 999 to report the accident but the police said there was no need for them to come to the scene. In the meantime, the two parties exchanged contact information.
    -- Watercooling placed a claim with the 'causer's insurance company, since his own insurance is TPFT. However the insurance company has declined to pay out for the damage.

    Is that everything?

    He's thinking of beavers, not weasels. Weasel live in dens, not lodges ;)
