Got into it..... ready to go - couldn't put the frolicking thing into drive.... 
Had to go back inside and get someone to help me..... This is going to be a long weekend  |

You need to have your foot on the brake when changing

So I discovered..... it really freaks me out that it just moves of it's own accord - I kept reaching over to change gear  |

We've just had an auto as a courtesy car after someone crashed into me and BB1
Whatever you do, don't try and put your left foot on the clutch but hit the brake with it - it stops very very suddenly...

I'll have to tuck my left leg under the seat and sit on my left hand to stop me from doing something stupid |

It's been a pleasant train journey so far - very unusual. It must be that since we've moved there's nicer people using this train.
A gent across from me just took a drink out of a bag, screwed up the bag, looked around for a bin, couldn't see one and instead of chucking the bag on the floor (which really annoys me) he opened up his rucksack and put the rubbish in that. 
Then, a gent sat opposite me in a four seater bit, opened up his bag to reveal fish and chips! He then asked me if I minded if he ate them. Very polite
They smelt fantastic!

You should have asked him for a chip  |
