    No More (Coo)L Plate for Me

    After 6 months of fastidiously displaying my l-plate every time I go out to ride and being proud that I was not bothered by this, a mean man told me that I had to take it off my bike after following me around a few roads for twentry minutes.

    I wonder if there is another way that I can display my coolness... maybe I can get an R-Plate made up now?

    Aye, I am currently sitting in an empty learning space due to the invigilating of their keen, inquisitive young minds. Exam times.

    I'm invigilating next period for my yr10s and then have to mark the bleeding things in my patented manner.

    I stand at the top of the stairs, toss them down and where they land I give a mark. Usually in reverse order on the premise that those who have written more, have used more ink, ergo, more weight and should naturally gravitate lower to the bottom of the stairs.

    Huzzah!

    Ah- so this is why I still got marks for just doodling in the exam book when I didn't know the answer

    And congrats on getting restricted Chisanga

    Congrats on loosing the L - hang it on the garage wall. I'm sure someone will need one in future (when they sit their test) so - they do come in handy.

    Enjoy the new found freedom!

    grats dude.

    I too am proud of my maturity in displaying an L plate

    not only is it a warning to other road users to give you a wide birth....it's also a way of showing that man, the man wants you to use an L plate, of you dont fight, bikker and complain then you've beaten the man at his own game.
