  • U spend 20 minutes walking round and round the car park outside John Lewis trying to find your car then realise there’s an identical car park the other side - and then  u remember you’ve made the same mistake before!!!!!
  • You try the How many of these defunct grounds have you been to? thread....

    And you can't really remember whether you went to some of them or not.

    The Chinese driving test is so ridiculous, can't you just pay a bribe and avoid all this hassle like everyone else. :wink:
    Haha.... that indeed was what was happening in the old days (maybe in the 90's), especially in those remote areas. 

    Nowadays it can't be done like that in most places. And the rules are extremely strict in my city. Everyone says you need good luck to pass this ridiculous test!!
    It's 100% still possible in Kunming, lucky foreigners don't need to do the test :D

    I so envy you! I didn't know the test was so difficult these days and it's been an absolute torture. I've lost much sleep because of it in the past few months. It's troublesome as when you fail you have to skip work to do more training and this affects my work to some extent. It's best to take it before starting to work as college students have much more free time.

    Well done Jessie.
  • Congratulations @Jessie
  • Well done @Jessie. I'm a good 15 years older than you and I still can't drive. Luckily living in London I don't really need to though.
  • When you meet up with the Greater London Council technician intake after 50 years and reminiscing about all the antics we got up to which would never be allowed today.

  • When you haven’t a clue which light bulbs to buy and when you have it’s come to £25.for light bulbs 🤨

    And not only are the fucking things not bright enough, they last about 3 hours before needing replacing.
  • When names from the past that you'd expect to have forgotten pop into your head.

    We had a quiz last night. One of the answers was Troy McClure,  but for some reason the name in my head was Troy Tate. I don't even know anyone with that name, so I googled it. It turns out he was in Teardrop Explodes and Fashion (both bands I like). Never knew I knew of him.
  • When you suddenly realise that millennium night was 20 years ago... and then you worry that you might not have finished doing all the apologies you need to!
  • Watching Jools last night I casually enquired if the performer was Ragamuffin man.  My son said, 'Do you mean Rag 'n' bone man?'.  'Yeah, that 'im' I said.  'No it ain't,' replied my son.  Turned out he was some other random big geezer.

    Sometimes when I speak I hear my dear departed dad's voice.
