Cadence clutching? The future of driving?
Discussion
Reading this thread has made me feel a bit uncomfortable. Jeez, when I think back to what I did to my folks cars.
A few of us old uns were reminiscing (thats hard to spell) about how we drove our parents cars. Being young back in the seventies, drinking and driving was all but compulsory. God knows how any of us survived. But one snowy night, after about 10 shandies, me and a mate deciced to do the Roger Clark bit in me dads brand new Mk3 Cortina. We were doing well untill ooh, at least the first corner when it went straight on regardless into a fence.
One mate worked for his Dad and desroyed the works Marina pickup. And another mate launched his Dads Marina so high over a sharp brow, that upon landing the loom caught fire.
Personally I blame the parents. Serves 'em right for buying such shit cars.

I know this is really cruel and I apologise in advance but I saw this post by our learned friend Mr Thunder on the P&P and couldn't resist putting it in here;

I was on Question Time a few years back. Unfortunately, the debate they didn't screen (there are always one or two 'pilot debates') was the one where I locked horns with Anne Widdecombe and made her look stupid to the point where everyone laughed at her (the debate concerned modern art and she came out with a load of easily-defeatable cobblers in front of a panel that included the head of the Royal College of Art). Unfortunately my comments on the actual debate were restricted to an aside about New Labour spin being 'politics for the MTV generation', which everyone found hilarious the next day at college.

Why do I get a vision of Kevin Turvey (80s) or that sketch from another 80s comedy (Young ones?) where they are all orff to University Challenge in a Porsche 911 chanting "rah rah rah we're going to smash the oiks"
Students, ya gotta luv 'em

Not quite, but thanks to some of you lot getting carried away I'm thinking twice about wanting to meet some of you, and I'm certainly not going to post as much as I used to.

For feck sake. Why do people on here keep insulting students. Sterotyping is not big or clever.
It's tradition. When I was a student it was all the long overcoat, rusky hat with the red star and Morrissey. It's only in hindsight you realise what a bunch of tossers you all were. You too will see the light and chortle over your middle aged spread.

I realise when I'm a tosser as I am being a tosser. But everyone is a tosser at various points. Some are tossers more than others. So you shouldn't just call students tossers. (god I'm a tosser)

Sense of humour failure? Try cadence laughing!
Oh dear god. Students clearly are tossers.
Agent006 is right some of you have been a bit mean and over stepped the mark.
