My boy called me yesterday to wish me a happy birthday (was never expecting a card - only get one if his girlfriend reminds him!) and he told me he's off to the Nurburgring this weekend with a mate. They're planning on hiring a car and doing a few laps. :steam:
And then he asked me what I might like for a birthday present .....:emoticon-0121-angry:emoticon-0121-angry

Happy birthday for yesterday, Dave!

I see that ability to use a Satnav will be part of the driving test. Can't really see why. Driving without a satnav is surely more important and you can drive without them. I would never use one as I know it would distract me....I already turn off my radio if I get close to where I am going and need to pay attention. Not questioning the value of it to people who travel a lot....very useful....but what has it to do with being safe to drive. Unless the test deliberately takes you to places where they know you will have to ignore the satnav and use your common sense...can see the value of that.

Funnily enough, that's a kind of system that I use for myself. I've had loads of people ask me me why I'm so damn contented, and I tell them and they ask me why I don't want things and to do this or that. My answer is that I've been there, filling my life up with things and forgetting that ones perception of life is state of mind, and I've been unhappy while I've been doing it. I beat my head against the wall for 25 years, trying to be happy. You can either be content with life or not. It is entirely up to the person. He explains it bloody well. In my head it's quite clear, but I've never been able to explain very well. The glass analogy might be a bit hackneyed, but it goes all right. That thing he said about losing his son and saying that he had a choice. He could either be grief stricken for the rest of his life or he could reset his life and start again from that point. That rang with me. OK, it's not that simple. People need time to mourn. Just don't make it become the lifestyle.
