Me: Uni-blah-crazy-professors-unhappening-projects-newspaper-blah.
Mother: You know how people born many years ago are now passing their driving tests? I think you should learn.
Me: ...Mummy, have you met my friend the non-sequiteur?
Mother: *stern glare*
Me: All right. You remember that time I got into a car with an instructor?
Me: And I nearly ( Read more... )

Oh my. ♥ Well, I suppose it's a good thing my chances of being anywhere near North London in the next forever are slim to never at all currently.

It is safer for you not to come near the country at all, really. The inhabitants are officially gambling with their lives. :D

:O Not ANYWHERE in the country AT ALL? ;)I felt the same way when my little sister learned how to drive. It was mostly a justified reaction.

Well okay, the PEDESTRIAN PARTS. And bits with water. I'm fairly sure I won't be able to land up swerving there.

Sometimes I think it's just doing a public service by not learning.

LOL Do you drive like Martha in "The Sound of Drums"?

la_esmeralda_ March 23 2010, 20:55:54 UTC

pretty much exactly, yes, only with more dead people en route and far less expert navigation of corners :D

persiflage_1 March 23 2010, 20:58:33 UTC

LOL Okay... *makes a mental note to steer well clear of North London*

AHA I get the same thing from my mum. But I caused a ten car pile up in the mini cars in Legoland as a kid and I am not inclined to do that, you know, in REAL cars.

I shall do my best to avoid North London! ;)

Ohh, that was me too! I couldn't get the thing to work while everyone was whizzing around, and they have SIMPLE TOY GEARS. They still gave me a licence there, though :D

I bet that for every person who drives, there are two who don't, and I'm fine being in the smarter majority :D

Ugh, my parents are putting pressure on me to learn to drive too. Admittedly, I haven't even had a lesson, so at least you've given it a go - I'm just lazy! :D

la_esmeralda_ March 23 2010, 21:36:13 UTC

It's like, they want me to pay money so I can live my life always trying not to kill people.
I am also feeling lazy in this regard. :P
