/crosspost from the annoy me thread - had a nice discussion with a buddy the other day in wich I sort of got the same answer. I was just in total disbelief that he?d actually advised me to "take the bike to work" when I was just complaining about how I have to drive with ze car for more than half an hour and the bus takes roughly a complete hour ... and he?s telling me to take something that?s not even half as fast as the Bus. 4 hours on the bicycle on a workday ... what a great idea. Why don?t I go the literal extra mile and fucking MARCH? WITH A 40 POUND BACKPACK???? WOULD THAT BE GREAT FOR MY FITNESS AND SAVE ME MONEY?!?!?
Sadly that is jedd's Catch 22. He can't drive, he can't afford to learn to drive because he has no job. To get to a wider selection of possible jobs he would need to be able to drive........
I did the whole car license thing first to get it out of the way.yup thats very much the problem. i even managed to get a interview with one place but couldn't attend because it was too far. car comes into the equation it becomes a lot easier. when i do get a job (and i mean 'when' and not 'if') first thing i'm doing is getting a sodding driving licence. if viper can get one. anyone can.
Free lunch type food though - fill up! :lol:I did the whole car license thing first to get it out of the way.
Obviously that doesn't work as although I can drive a car I can't afford to own one.
Also you think that's bad? I had an interview at Greggs to work a 2 hours shift over the weekend, about ?6.20 an hour and the return bus ticket cost ?5.80! :lol:
Although to be fair they did they there were more hours available, I get the feeling I didn't get that job because public transport isn't very reliable and they were worried I'd be able to get there on time.

She wanted to be given it during the party, not before. Presumably so all her friends could see it and bask in her superiority.What is it that's wrong with the Lexus, that "ruins her life"? I could not understand it even after the third or fourth listening.
