No ticket was needed, as it happens. Just read out the booking number at the kiosk (from my email confirmation).

I just give them our passports and they link the person to the booking.

I was hoping they'd do it that way - or even from the car reg, but that's too much joined up IT for them!

Just remembered one from my mum - she was moaning that her husband was throwing his bricks out of his pram...

“Are the pedals always in the same order”...

My daughter is about to start learning and asked me this question. My girlfriend helpfully said ABC - Accelerator, Brake, Clutch.

Yeah, not the way we read, it’s CBA.

Perhaps GF was trying to say... “As easy as ABC”.
( Must have been hell before standardisation)

Learning to drive... in NZ.
Q1: True or False

Not sure if serious.

It’s not fake...
It’s from a government site in NZ for a ‘restricted’ licence... the next two questions get more difficult.

I think that might have been mentioned in Vol.1 "Is that when the sun goes between the Earth and the Moon?"

And they worry about climate change …

Well, if the Sun does go between the Earth and the Moon, it will definitely change the climate.

At the risk of being a pedant, you do get Lunar Eclipses, it’s when the shadow of the Earth falls on the moon. Often called a “blood moon” due to the red colour as what sunlight there is has passed through the atmosphere.

The weedkiller bottle comes with a handy clear plastic dosing cap, marked in 100ml increments. Mrs K spotted it on the shelf in the shed and purloined it for the kitchen.
I seized it back, she's just thrown a strop because I dared use her 'new' measuring cup to dose out weedkiller.

Id be careful of homemade cookies, very careful.

Yes well, that was sort of my point …

Perhaps I should have said “… man made climate change”

Would the sun actually fit between Earth and the moon?

No. (This is assuming that we are ignoring the fact that if it got that close the sun would simply consume both the earth and the moon and then there would be enough room …)

Rookie error not printing the ticket.

I haven't printed any tickets since airlines started putting ads on the printable version.

So not only do they expect me to pay for ink and paper for the ticket, but also to pay to print ads? Not a chance.

Return trip was keyed off our passports, so didn't need the booking number.

Indeed

For the sake of 10 mins I print all key forms, I know my luck with phone signal, chargers, and Apple iOS offloading the app that I actually needed.

[havoc]

Printed here - had enough of all these fking 'apps' that don't work properly at the point you need them to.

I swear a chunk of the queues at the airport 2 weeks ago were caused by apps not working properly or quickly...
