Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

You're much better off without a car, unless you really need one. I'm getting scared just thinking how much this funking driving license cost me. I wasn't very good at it tbh and so had to take the exam 4 funking times.
Still haven't killed anybody though.
I'd end this moment to be with you
Through morphic oceans I'd lay here with you
got a fulltime job
had money and needed stuff
never wanted to drive till I was 23
passed first time
now...
getting to work and back would be a nightmare, I'd need to move to HellTown!
libraries gave us power
cars give us freedom

I was in the first year to do the "CSE" grade in Scotland in 1982 , when I left School in '86 they were scrapped.................what a fuckin' waste of that was then
Being brave is coming home at 2am half drunk, smelling of perfume, climbing into bed, slapping the wife on the arse and saying,"right fatty, you're next!!"
EDIT RE the drivers licence thingy: I really don't get why you wouldn't want to take lessons, especially not if your parents are giving them to you. It's a very expensive thing to take those lessons yourself (around here they are at least - and mine were only partly sponsored), and it's something extra you have in life. Having a licence doesn't oblige you to get yourself a car, nor does it forbid you from being on public transport. I haven't had a car for years (actually I only had one for a couple of months, but that was because I wanted to have one), but it's always easy to be able to jump behind the wheel and get where you want to get quite quickly - though mostly I just use my faithful feet or a tram. Just do it, and forget it afterwards if you like to, but keep the paper
