I don't like being 17

[mollykins]

So far I've had rubbish luck.

Yesterday; barely anyone I saw remembered it was my birthday, it was rubbish weather, I didn't have any lessons yet I managed to get homework, I was panicking cos one of the people that was meant to be going out with me last night texted me to say she didn't know when she would be back from college (luckily she got there only a couple of minutes late), another friend didn't say happy birthday and had forgotten to bring my present or card (but we dropped him off home so he quickly went and got it).

Today; It was rubbish weather, I got 3 bits of homework, I got lost going to geography, i then got lost trying to get to my bike, from geography, I then found that my tyre was completely flat, my dad couldn't pick me up there so I arranged to meet him at aldi, which meant dragging my bike over half a mile uphill, luckily when I went past my other school my ex-form tutor was coaching a football team who pumped my tyre up, so I then called my dad to say that I could probably make it home, so I bike home, but half way it started raining! I'm sure somethings going to go wrong tonight at acdets aswell.

Jeez! Just wait until you start living in the real world worrying about job security and mortgage payments. I wish the height of my problems was a flat tyre on a bike...

[Bobbisox]

you are joking...right?
Molly, get a grip pet, 17 and the world at your feet!

17 is the peak of existence, it's all downhill after that, so make the most of it.

It's all part of life rich pageant, Molly. 17 is a lovely age. You have your whole life in front of you.

Getting lost going to Geography is hardly a good advertisement for the subject!

You're lucky to be only 17 - I am 47 on Sunday.

[mollykins]

I thought it was quite ironic.

[mike11111]

Quelle journeé ma pauvre biche! Je pleure toutes mes larmes de mon corps.

[mollykins]

mike what the . . . . . something about my death?

[mike11111]

God forbid!

It means, "What a day, my poor pet, I'm crying my eyes out!"

[mollykins]

'corps' is something to do with death/dieing/being dead

[craft1948]

Gee a football team pumped your bike up.......lucky girl!!

[Old_Geezer]

Tell you what, I'll swap. I'd probably even settle for 47 :-)

[society]

If you knew your geography you would not have gotten lost. :-)

[mollykins]

It was the p.e. teacher who was my form tutor that did it, whilst the other teacher carried on reffing.

[society]

Molls, I bet you are very popular in class, school...

[mike11111]

No, dear. "Corps" is the French word for body (living). A literal translation of what I posted would read, " I am crying all the tears out of my body". ABers may be more familiar with the expression "PMSL"

wolf63. Mrs micmak is 60 on Sunday I'm sure she will change places with you. To make it worse she cannot have her pension until March next year.

[wolf63]

micmak - I started getting my works pension when I was 40 after having to leave work due to bad health.

I hope that you have bought Mrs Micmak a nice present.

Molly - I hope that the rest of your day is pleasant and happy.

"acdets".

Are they an offshoot of Aldi or Lidl? Or perhaps Netto?
