When a nurse says, "turn around, drop your pants and trousers and bend over" - they really mean it.

Never reach into the whistle box, whilst simultaneously clutching your car keys in the same hand, as you are liable to leave them there for several days.....

I learnt how to lock myself both in and out at the same time:

If you leave without your keys/fob, you'll be both unable to use the key to get back into your flat, and unable to swipe the fob to get out of the complex.

If a road with two lanes in each direction is separated by white lines and not a central reservation it is *not* a dual-carriageway and thus the speed limit is 60mph.

a computer is only as good as the parts it is made from! and the person using it

my mothers car only likes going forwards! a right ***** when it comes to reversing up a slight hill, and into the driveway! as the engine drops the revs so much that it takes loads of practice not to stall it! (You can go high speed in reverse and pray you don't hit anything, or you can pray you don't park it in the garden! which is a 2 foot drop)

yesterdays learning something new! I thought my parent's had gone away for 2 weeks, well yesterday was the end of the 2nd week, I dropped off for a nap, and woken up at 9:30 pm, and then phoned my brother to see what was happening with my father, and work, as I still had the car parked out side, and he would have needed to be in work at 10pm,

turns out they are back on Thursday instead, otherwise I would have been in deep trouble

That revision, exams, and lack of hugs puts me in a bad mood.
