'There's a woman on my bonnet and I can't get her off!'(Driver w/gf hanging on car calls police)
The Daily Mail (U.K.) ^ | September 28, 2011 | RICHARD HARTLEY-PARKINSON

(edit)

 

Things turned nasty when their relationship broke down and there was a long-running dispute over shared items from their home. 

Finally, Dicken went to Miss Kift's mother's home in nearby Llandudno, snatched the TV from the hallway and loaded it into the back of his Jaguar.

Miss Kift was having none of it, her sister Josie told Llandudno Magistates Court. She got into the driver's seat in a vain attempt to stop him driving away.

Dicken dragged her out of the car and threw her to the ground. But when he saw what he described as a group of angry people chasing after him, punching and kicking his car, he tried to flee.

'I thought the safest thing to do was for us to get away from them.' he said. 'I really had no option.'

 

Dicken started to drive away, but Miss Kift jumped on the bonnet and refused to get off. He tried shake her off by braking sharply then picked up speed and drove to a police station half a mile away.

From his car, Dicken called officers and complained: 'There's a girl on the bonnet of my car and I can't get her off.'

He told the two-day trial he had been forced to drive off because he was afraid of the mob. But CCTV showed his car rounding a corner with no-one following.

Trouble flared after a row over a 42ins plasma TV, a court heard.

 

It would take a minimum of a 50-inch plasma TV to get me to hang onto the hood of a moving car.

I’ve had a bee in my bonnet, but not a girlfriend.

Hey, pal. Let it go. You got off way too easy at a mere GF and a stinking 42” tv.

Just wait till you have a wife and then some kids ......

You may have the wrong kind of TV.

I hope Dicken’s surname isn’t Cider.

Rear-seat passenger, Liam Fletcher, 19, said he saw a large woman banging on the Jaguar's back window with an aspirin inhaler and feared the glass would shatter. 

They don't make Jags like they used to.  An old E-Type would have taken a beating by a large woman with an aspirin inhaler in stride.

God knows that’s the truth, and it matters little who is at fault.

Yeah, that’s my take on this story. If he can’t get his girlfriend off, I have no sympathy for ‘im.
