I passed my test in 1977
just after the fellow with the red flag was retired.

I thought I had done really badly, but I was asked one last question by the examiner. "What should you do before pulling out?"
"Ermm...Look in my mirror?"
"Yes, please make sure you do so in future."

He passed me, and I have always used my mirrors since then.

'77?
You just made me feel young again.

Yes, 1977, I'm very old
And thanks for making me feel just that bit older. I was driving a Morris Oxford at the time.

This is why I hang around with you young'uns.

I normally feel old in here
But as I was born in 78 I'm feeling like a whippersnapper right now, granpaaaw.

Is there a geriatric b3ta I should be on instead of one?

I am a witch or something
A lad put ice down my top and minutes later the coffee machine waited for him to pass, then fired hot grounds all over him.
I didn't wish it on him but the karma or something, ooh, it is on my side. I have loads of tales like that. They call me Carrie in work.

If 77 makes you feel young,
I passed my test when I was 16 in 1972 (like everyone elase I knew).

In Vermont kids can get a learners permit and drive with parents once they turn 15. It's sort of a rite of passage.

These rites can also unfortunately/sadly include really bad car accidents once they get their licenses. There are restrictions on the times of day new drivers can drive and the number of people in the car, but many kids ignore these, drive trashed and every year there are a few kids killed from being stupid. Of course being the land of cars, we have really poor public transportation which I assume would be part of the world wide Obama socialist plot to force one world government. )I am sure some people would say this if he did try to push public transportation a little as so many people are mesmerized and hypnotized by the crap they hear on FOX “News”).

Well, if they're stupid enough to listen to Fox News.....
sorry. I just hate that program.
( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Tue 22 Dec 2009, 12:00, Reply)

I agree:
They are stupid (and getting stupider). It's really sad how many people really believe the shit spouted on that channel. (I refuse to have cable tv at my house so we can't get it at home; but sometimes I watch it when traveling just so I can know my enemy a bit better.)

I tend to watch the CNN channel or
BBC America. However, yesterday, CNN was full of Brittany Murphy stuff and it PISSED ME OFF. Sorry she died, I actually met her a few times, but there was no need to dedicate the whole fucking channel to her death.

she even was (I gernerlly tune out those portionsof the news).

Try airplane spotting. There are always a few people looking through the fence at Luton Airport trying to see an interesting jet. 90% of which are 737s.
