I like 6th. I only have 5 though.

Those gear sticks where you have to know the secret handshake in order to find reverse

I don't like them

 

[nlgbbbblth]

I don't have sixth either.

 

[7 - No tomorrow]

I have one gear on my bike.

Forward.

Do you have a back pedal brake?

For me, a mini is a girl's car. But if you want one, get one.

My friend drives a mini and he says he always gets disappointing looks from lads peering into the car expecting a blonde young one and instead getting a balding man.

I'm a prick

Had a go at a homeless lad yesterday, basically accusing him of nicking the lights off my bike. Halfway through the confrontation I remembered they were charging on the desk in my office.
Furious metaphorical backpedaling followed by furious literal forward pedaling.

ownership is theft.

Just bought an 02 Fiat Cinquecento Sport 1L. Gonna declare the Volvo of the road, fill it full of green diesel, and use it for running between the bog and the homeplace.

I went looking at cars with the notion of hire purchase. I had no idea they were so expensive. What they ask as a down payment was what I was considering my upper limit for buying.

Going to buy another well used*car instead.

Ah memories...

Did anyone see the farmer on tv recently who was attacked by a bull and rescued by his two sons who were aged about 12 and 14? The older one, I think it was, ran over and hauled the bull off the farmer while the younger hopped in the car and maneuvered it between the bull and the father. They got the dad into the car somehow and then the driver lad was able to get the car in such a way that the other brother could let go of the bull and jump into the car too. I was well impressed.

10 months ago they were mixing, so if my experience with people who mix records is anything to go by, it should be out in about another 14 months. Hold tight people I'm sure it will have aged well and be utterly relevant by then.

Have been chasing a pie bald pony and a thoroughbred away from an open gate the last 3 weeks... in a 6 tonne dumper.

...thats not a complaint, btw. the thoroughbred started flirting with me yesterday.

Me neither. After a lifetime of cycling I think I'd be too scared to try driving now.

I do want to live down the country though. Maybe I could drive a ride-on lawnmower around the place.

It's never too late. I didn't start taking it seriously [proper lessons] until I was 37 but got there in the end.

I should have listened to my parents and work colleagues' advice and learned years ago - instead of giving credence to whiny chinstroking friends who were proud to be non-drivers.

I absolutely hated getting driving lessons from my father (but I'm glad I learned to drive). He used to shout and roar even when I was doing it right.
