You should have told the controller to, excuse my limited French, le
pousser où le soleil ne brille pas.

Then you should have quoted him the right-of way rules (planes below have
right over those above, planes on approach have right over those in the
pattern), and told him that you were taking your CLEARANCE and using the
RUNWAY.


Actually it is planes on final that have the right of way, but that's
irrelevant here as it was a controlled field.
