My Biggest DisappointmentOften the things we look forward to the most turn out to be a huge let down. As Freddy Woo puts it, "High heels in bed? No fun at all. Porn has a lot to answer for."
Well, Freddy, you are supposed to get someone else to wear them.
What's disappointed you lot?

Probably the biggest disappoinment...was getting my car...
I thought it would be great - that I would live carefree and travel the country as only those with wheels and free time know how. That was until I realised the following things:
1. Cars require maintenance
2. Cars require petrol
3. Maintenance and petrol require money
4. You must work to make money
5. Due to work you are no longer carefree and must slave to provide car with its insatiable need for parts and petrol
6. You are at the complete mercy of any idiot on the road
7. Driving long distances is *really* sod awfully boring
Conclusion? Complete (and dangerous) waste of time.
*Well, OK - so I do get to dance and play in bands and kickbox and go to movies... still!!! I wanted to go places!*

Get a motorcycle.Being gripped with the fears means you don't worry about anything else.

^ thisbut with the added caveat of "with the right car" as well.
I drive a woefully-underpowered clio, but it corners like its on rails. Put it on the outside lane of a motorway and you'll have a terrible journey. Put it on a B-road and you'll have a hell of a lot of fun.
