Starting my driving lessons on thursday at 12.30 This will be fun.

I thought you were already driving? Or is this so you can do the test?

Got talking to a chap the other day with a lovely E220 Cdi estate in black with all the bits and pieces.

His 3 year old had just drawn a Smiley face on his rear quarter with a stone :eek:

Grounded the young lad for three days, and when he was let out after the third day he went out and proceeded to draw a mustache on said smiley face!

Ah jaysus,

sounds like its wooden spoon time :pac:

Well I have the learners permit before the new rules came in. My learners permit is expired early next month. So it will be my second learners permit. So I have to do the test. To pass and get the full licence or fail so I can renew it again. I really hope I pass though.

At least you're doing it at a sensible age; I waited til I was 36 and wished I'd driven earlier, just love the freedom. My 42 year old brother still hasn't started driving a car despite having had a learners permits for 15 or more years and had two cars registered in his name! He's had two lessons - me supervising him. THe scooter is the worst thing he ever found, allows him to keep putting off driving a car.

Mate, the freedom is the best part indeed. The idea of been able to drive on the motorway then taking a longer alternitave route make it worth it for me. I put the driving lessons/test off for 6 months so far. So its time to give it a go.

You wouldn't believe how many times I've been standing in the car park yapping with one of the other lads with place locked up and people will pull in and ask for work to be done....and then look at you strangely when you 'point out' that the garage is closed.

As a chef I get/used to that a lot: closing time 22:00 and someone jumps in 22:05 and orders starters well done steak and then wil go for deserts.... You fat *pyp*
Thanks god I don't do night service anymore, I am a baker now!

I worked here for a little while. The amount of arseholes coming in at 2 minutes to 1, wanting a fill of diesel. Just as we were closing for lunch.

The worst ever was a lorrey that was nearly empty, on his way to Denmark. Looking back, I should have refused to fill it at the time :mad:

I had this too on saturday evening, was closing the furniture store at 4 to go to one of the bosses wedding reception/dinner and had a sign up saying closed at 4 and this woman walks in as im on the way out at 20 past as i had to talk to a neighbour who bought a dining table and chairs off me and was paying.

She walks in and i say mobile phone car keys and store key in hand all lights switched off that "Im awfully sorry but we are closed as i have to go to a wedding" (im dressed in full formal wear) when she says "Oh thats grand" and swans past me saying she is just going to look at some carpet.

35 minutes later and after saying 5-6 times "Oh im sorry to be so rude holding you up but im sure you don't mind" she finally leaves after buying nothing and complaining about prices.

I swear i could have strangled her

Around here somewhere? I was stuck behind a very slow Astra and there was a silver 02 MN Audi A4 behind me with fogs on, iirc
