queenie - i will write to you as soon as i get a bit of time. at the moment i am trying to finish some patchwork. if i don't get it done soon i will throw the bl**dy think out. it started as a cushion cover and is now rather an oversized kingsize quilt. at least i have now got as far as the red border and then only the blue binding to do. the amount to do never seems to lessen.

g/son coming to see us tomorrow.

[lady-janine]

your dad sounds like a treasure.

[giveup]

Tony I'm too old now and would be a positive danger on the road.

[tonyav]

Remember that old saying though, giveup, ' Your Never To Old '.

Hi to all.....stick at it, QoM, gearbox or automatic.....?

Top 10 Ways To Fail Your Driving Test

1) Challenge the instructor to a drag race at Deadmans Curve after the test finishes

2) Insist on playing your own mix tape really loudly while driving

3) Rev the engine and beep the horn furiously if any kids wave at you through the back window

4) Slow down and whistle and holler at any attractive people. Question the instructor’s sexuality should he/she disapprove

5) Tell the instructor you only drive sports cars and can’t be seen driving the test car

6) Ask the instructor has he ever come across a talking car such as KITT in knightrider

7) When asked to turn left, turn right instead, when asked for an explanation. say, "Oh you mean my left"

When asked if you are sitting comfortably and can reach the pedals, bend down, touch them with your hands and say, "Yep, no prob"

9) Ask the instructor to duck down when passing by a group of your friends as you feel he/she may be bad for your image

10) Ask the instructor if its possible to travel back in time in any Delorean or would you have to make some adjustments after you buy one. Also ask if you need to apply for a different license for time-travel

That should do it.

Learning to drive was one of the best things I ever did. Independence is what it gives you. No more relying on other people or the dreaded bus. Especially beneficial now that Mic is ill.

[queenofmean]

Will do DT it's a gearbox I refuse to drive an automatic

[Jeza]

DTC. Q7 my examiner told me to turn left. I turned right. I still passed though.

[queenofmean]

I hate the buses so I can't wait to take myself places in half the time.

I can imagine it would be for you Jeza - I hope you are keeping alright too xx

I tried No 1, DT, he won, I've never gotten over it !.

My eldest granddaughter is 17 on Sunday, she is saving all Christmas and birthday money for driving lessons. She seems too young and dizzy for this but it's probably me being old.

[queenofmean]

I was the same when I was 17 Caran so much my mum and dad waited a year before allowing me to learn to drive but I realise now they were probably right to make me wait. But good luck to her when she starts :)
