I still have A licence and can drive, I just failed my test to progress to the next level of license.
There was a home invasion down the road from me. Hopefully it was just a mouse or something inside. I checked all the wardrobes and cupboards for intruders too  |

out of curiosity, what classes of driver's license are there in your land? in america, there is only a private drivers license and a commercial drivers license [chauffeurs, semitrucks]. anyways, it's good to know it wasn't you who was strong-armed. over this side of the pond there have been lots of strong-armed burglaries where they broke in while the people were inside eating breakfast or dinner or whatever, tied 'em up, beat 'em up, kidnapped a few, in addition to getting bank acct#s and such. |

I have a C class license (C for Car obviously), but I don't get my "full" license until I pass a few tests along the way; first you have to take a test for your learners permit, then another one to progress to your provisional license P1, then another one to progress your provisional license P2, then another one to get your full license.... *huff*! I'm trying to get my full license.
The other license classes are:
R = Rider
LR = Light rigid
MR = Medium rigid
HR = Heavy rigid
HC = Heavy combination
MC = Multi-combination |

Our system is quite complicated.
For car licences: There are L's (learners), P's (provisional) which have 2 types, red (P1) or green (P2). Then there are Open licence for manual, Open licence for automatic.
There's a separate licence for bikes, and there are limits on how powerful your bike can be according to which bike licence you have, RE (being the learners version) or R.
Then you have licences according to what you are driving by weight, Light (LR), medium (MR) , heavy (HR), heavy combination (HC) or multiple combination (MC), which covers all the industrial forms.
We have to all have to have seat belts on if in a car. We also always have to wear a helmet when riding a bike. And texting while driving is illegal here.
It is quite a paternalistic system.

Not sure how to save a post though, but thanks for the advice. |
Produce the post in a word processor first. Autosave set to on. You can perform a spelling and grammar check before finally posting for the world to see

dont freak so much about the test. people fail it like a million times before they pass. im not saying that you will fail a million times i just mean there are people worse than you. i'll bet it was something ridiculously small that tripped you up and you were otherwise perfect. dont know what the deal is with your cat...

I'm at my Nanna's right now, and my Mum and sister dropped in unexpectedly. And also Mum is working all day while I'm off school tomorrow, stuck at home with m brother and sister who are also off. If it were up to me, they wouldn't be off while I was off, and Mum wouldn't be at work all day.

Having to wake up early from my sleep cycle out of the blue, to drive my sister to the airport and getting stuck in bumper to bumper traffic on the way back still groggy and on an empty stomach.

Lionel Messi how could you have missed that penalty kick???  
Not a good week to be a Barca fan, I guess. |

My dad's in a bad mood because the eye doctor messed up on creating his prescription glasses. When he was telling my mom about it, he was talking in a louder and more aggressive manner than he usually speaks. My mom noticed I had a worried expression and asked me why. I told her that dad intimidated me by talking the way he did.
I think I made his mood worse by saying this because he barely talked at all during dinner and when I told him I liked his cooking, he looked at me funny and said "Oh good honey, I'm glad you liked it". Which may seem to be a kind thing to say, but my dad is the type of guy who would have normally given me a wink and a high-five and said "That's what I'm talkin' about!" |
