1 - Next week fuel prices go up.
2 - Traffic
3 - We insist on driving our cars in heavy traffic
4 - More Traffic
5 - Friday Traffic
6 - I have a burning desire to catch up with the energy minister in traffic and urge either animal to take a dump on his car. (Bonus hay if they can dry hump his car and blow their load on his windscreen). I'm sure he'll display the usual Risus sardonicus
