Little things that bring a smile to your face 3

Citalopram. They are both little, and they bring a smile to my face. Even if I want to be upset, I can't stop smiling.

Looking to finally learn to drive at the grand old age of 23.

Not sure what care to get but some of these 1.4 2002 Civic look pretty nice for the money.

I didn't learn until I was 23 either, couldn't live without driving now though.

Eh? Are you saying you don't know what black pudding is?

White pudding I'd forgive as I think that's Scotland (and apparently Ireland) but we know it as mealie pudding where I'm from, but anyhow... its basically black pudding without the blood,

Don't forget we have red pudding in Scotland too, it's the best one!

[speedlolita]

I think I definitely need it to open up job options considering where I live. Should get me out of the house more too..

I only learned last year, at 36. The wife gently persuaded me seeing as we were expecting a baby. Insisted, really.

Blimey I never realised you were so young.
Don't take this the wrong way but you come across much older than that.

I had my first lesson on the day of my 17th birthday
I got home from 6th form & opened my presents to see a voucher for lessons with BSM & about an hour later the guy knocked on the door & off I went.
Passed on my 2nd attempt & haven't looked back since.

I'll take that as a compliment Neil.

[nakamura]

It's because you are as grumpy as us.

Yeah, sometimes I wish I'd done it when I was 17, but I actually couldn't at the time, then I went to university, lived in London after that, had spells abroad, and generally didn't need a car. Passed first go too, which was great, but I had a good teacher. Even now though it's not like I drive loads. I can take it or leave it really. Going up to Liverpool this weekend and taking the train rather than the car. It's actually cheaper, faster and I can do some work on the way.

Lol it was meant that way.

Don't listen to him...although we are grumpy & at times it's being so grumpy that makes us happiest

As soon as I was getting close to 17 I was itching to get behind the wheel.
I think if I'd have been in the same situation as you though with going to Uni etc. I don't think I'd have bothered & made the most of the time but I was (& still am) a slacker & knew I'd never hit the grades so decided I'd drive & just get on with working life.

I still don't drive very far though...hate the car & it feels like it's going to crap out at any moment so I'm loathe to do long journeys these days.
Used to go all over when I was younger but not now.

[endo]

That's another reason why I'm not driving this weekend- I'm not confident the car would make it and the last thing I need is breaking down on the M1/M6/wherever. It's been a great little car but I fear its days are numbered... Can't be arsed buying another just yet, because it keeps passing its MOT.

I wanted to get Into haulage when I left the armed forces but doing fibre work for openreach in the Highlands and Islands I've realised that driving as a career isn't for me, just find it so boring that my concentration drifts from time to time

I even had further heart surgery so I was fully fit to try and get a license - well that was a painful waste of time

Well, that's a fail right there. There are wing mirrors.

Cars don't have wings Chaz! You'll confuse Speedy!!
