I want one of those neutronium cars some have got on here. You never have to wash it, salt, acid, nuclear blast waves don't effect it, it remains spotless and rotproof for ever and ever. There must be a catch !!! :P

Right, I'm off to get a jab. Nothing to do with Covid, it's one of those harmonica jabs. I'm convinced they're trying to turn me into Larry Adler:
(.... and if you remember him, well, you're being a tad mendacious about your age :P)

Buy a Japanese car. According to a forum member, they never need cleaning.

He was quite good - Maurice Ravel was so keen on his interpretation of Bolero, that he arranged for him to be able to perform it royalty free in perpetuity.

I washed mine last April, it still has P plates on because if I take them off there are obvious clean patches!
In Ireland, they have the same L-plates as the UK, but, when you've passed, you are required to display N-plates (for 'New Driver') for the first two years, I think.

Someone casually suggested that there should also be D-plates, to alert others to Dickhead Drivers.

Ha ha ha...



Then it was discovered that you actually buy D-plates in Wales, where they are the equivalent of the more mainstream L-plates - D signifying 'Dysgwr'.

It can be a wise move to circle your car before you get in, in case you have been subject to an assessment - and failed.

We don't need this really. A badge on the back that reads Audi, BMW or Dacia is an internation symbol of being a dickhead.

Right then, now I get it.

When I owned a little white Citroen with a pink roof, all the other drivers were lovely to me.

Husband buys me a BMW convertible for my 60th birthday and now hardly anyone lets me out of a junction. And the beeping and peeping of horns is horrendous.
Not to mention the one finger salutes.

It's got so bad that I've resorted to going out in a blond wig, bright red lipstick and designer sunglasses. Nifty head scarf as an added accessory.
Roof of the car off whatever the weather.

I thought that if the male drivers of this world were still judging people on stereotypes (or, as I think it's called nowadays "unconscious bias"), then what the heck, let's roll with it.

I can assure you my bias is very much conscious.







































And firmly with tongue in cheek.

What a strange April. We're getting glorious sunny days with a nasty tactical shiv made of ice lurking behind the sunshine. :eek:
