Mini Cab driving test

I am often stunned by the level of disregard Mini Cab drivers have for the highway code. This has led me to believe that they operate to different rules to everybody else. This has been proved now with my discovery of the Mini Cab driving test paper, which I have transcribed here;

Q1: You are about to reach the address of a 'pick up' on a busy street, do you?
        a) check your mirrors, indicate and then slowly break while moving to the side of the road and gently slowing to a stop.
        b) heave on your steering wheel and pull in at an angle, only ever used by American Bunker busting missiles, ensuring enough of your back end is in the road to block one lane of traffic.

Q2: Are mirrors attached to cars for
       a) essential and important safety reasons, allowing for observations and identification of hazards
       b) watching ladies bottoms after passing them in the street

Q3: Indicators are designed for what reason?
       a) indicating to other road users your proposed alteration of direction
       b) hanging car fresheners from

Q4: Who has right of entry to a roundabout?
       a) cars approaching from the right
       b) Mini Cabs have the right of entry on all road junctions, regardless of position

Q5: Where is the best place to park?
       a) wherever parking is allowed and where safe to do so
       b) any space or surface on which I can fit my vauxhall cavalier

Q6: What are traffic wardens?
        a) enforcers of traffic regulations and laws
        b) Arch enemies of Mini Cab drivers, and worth 50 points if driven over

Q7: The brake pedal is used..?
        a) for bringing your car to a stop
        b) In emergencies only and as a last resort

Q8: Speed limits are for?
        a) maintaining the flow of traffic at reasonable speeds
        b) the challenge

Q9: The Highway code is there for?
        a) to provide rules which enable safe driving in all conditions
        b) other drivers

Q10: The mini cab code is?
        a) to be a safe, polite, courteous driver at all times
        b) do unto others before they do unto you


Yes, I know, I have an issue here.

A nice sandwich for dinner

As I made my wife a beautiful pair of rolls for a little snackeroona on Saturday afternoon. I took the nice rolls on a nice plate and led them into the frontroom and gave the plate to my lovely wife, who proceeded to ask why one gammon roll was pink and the other was brown. It was at this point that I felt I had a duty, nay a requirement to educate and That the brown gammon roll was in fact a beef roll. Which does explain that variation in colour, i felt.

My relatives criminal Past....

Image
...Or just bad taste. I say this as we have received a very 'kind' present for the baby. One of our friends , may well be interested in this high art fashion item. I say high fashion as I can think of no other description for it, apart from it being the creation of a criminal mind. Either this or my relative, at one stage of her life, stole them from Liberace's kitchen cabinet! I cannot imagine anybody buying them, so they have to be stolen, surely? It certainly proves that 80+ year olds do technically transcend fashion. Behold the pair of rubber gloves we were given as presents! and if you really do want this zoomed in. Then behold the magnificent Be-jewelled gloves and precious stone (plastic) bound by a gold elastic band. I think you will admit that we are very fortunate to have recieved such a class item. We are also open to offers.

Olympic Vomiting

Tonight, we as parents witnessed, what can only be described as epic Vomit, from our daughter, at dinner. Having been fed her Milk at 3pm, and then a fish meal for her dinner at just after 4pm, an average day for her. Then one cough later, and she has been coughing throughout the day, out came this kind of milky green liquid vomit. It didn't dribble it, it came out like water from a fireman's hose. And I would not have been surprised if it could have been high pressure and directional, fortunately the direction in which I happily call the green river of fish and milk, flew straight into the her lipped plastic bib, just below the lip itself. A perfect fill so to speak. It reminded me of my friend Glen, who many years ago now, on a night out, downed a pint of beer in one and then proceeded to insert an exact pint of vomit back into said pint glass, the perfect pint. Astonishing at the time.
