hmm, a pattern? Adrian Evans:
Is five driving tests a list record ? Stuart G/The Tall Git: I only failed my driving test twice "poor sebastian went too far again, crashed his car in the rain" "riding city buses for a hobby is sad"
maybe b&s fans are just not meant for driving. maybe we all belong in buses, riding on bikes, skating on ponds, walking through parks, flagging down aeroplanes and if all else fails: closing our eyes and pretending we're somewhere else. poetic yes, but annoyingly inconvenient! i actually passed my driving test the first time but i have a feeling the tests are a bit easier here, especially since the one i took was on a special course designed for driving tests. it was kind of silly really - there was a simulated railroad track, but it was only about 5 feet long and there were hardly any other cars on the road with me. heh. anyway, a drivers liscence is not very valid for me anymore, considering that like poor sebastian, i crashed my car... except it wasnt raining, it was actually a beautiful day. i was just dumb! but that was back in january and im hoping for another car soon. isnt singing really loud in your car the funnest thing? i had an exam today too - greek and it went pretty well considering that last night was the formal for my school and i got practically NO sleep. hee, yeah, i went to the formal (or prom if you like - sounds much more american teenager, no?). surprisingly i had a wonderful time.. especially since we took the subway there and received strange looks from everyone... then we wandered downtown for a bit, looking very, er, posh.. in queen's park a man took our picture and made us pose with his dogs - big, scary things that were actually obedient and nice. the music sucked, of course - "my heart will go on", "barbie girl", etc. We went out to the courtyard though, and for awhile we sang our own songs and danced around. fun fun fun.

I'm wondering - are all the colloquialisms and cultural references complete gobbledygook for non-uk-listees? I mean Wogan, pish, Ronnie Corbett, Diamond White, et al. These are things that take some explaining - I mean Jim'll Fix It....where do you start?
not *complete* gobbledygook, but some of it does go over my head.. okay, in that list i know what "pish" is but everything else is somewhat mysterious.. maybe a glossary would be helpful.. it could be put into the faq! okay, now i have too much homework to do good day! teri xx can't wait for the new record! ==== quand je m'ennuie je pense a toi --julie doiron-- vlass@interlog.com it's still a baby: http://members.tripod.com/~meltingsnow/ ==== ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
