If my memeories are correct, we’ve seen an eye. Eye, eye, Captain PN. And one of Mrs Sensible’s hands, too. Matbe we will be able to stick all the pieces together one day and create Peco Sensi-baaaal. Oh, by the way, guess what I’ve got in my hand? It’s small and pink. And no, it’s not one of those.

That is an interesting idea. A Pecora Nera jigsaw built up over 12 months.. 😉
So how long did it take from start to finish to get your little pink thing? I will drive down this afternoon to see if my little pink thing is ready, although I think it will be a waste of petrol

Starting date: 2nd April. Licence ready: 24th July. So four months for it to be ready, but it took another another two months for them to finally picked up the phone and tell me I should have guessed it was ready: 11th October. I presume that the official telepathy office was away on holiday. Good luck to you this afternoon, PN. Take Mrs Sensible with you and make sure you hand over a few bacteria when you shake Mr Cretino’s hand.

Mrs Sensible is determined to come, she said “you have phoned the UK, you sent the letters to DVLA, I don’t think you should pay the full fee” So I can see another battle looming 😦

What, you have to PAY? I didn’t pay anything for the procedure here, except for a good few hours of my time sitting on my bottom getting ideas for my blog posts.

No way…… €120 and I did most of the letter writing and e mails

Have you checked your licence? DO you have the same categories? On the Italian one (they have sent me a photocopy of it) A car towing a trailer is missing as is a lorry towing a trailer..

I’ve got lots of big things towing trailers, but not a car. I’ll have to rent a minibus if I want to use a trailer, apparently. I also have the right to ride two different kinds of motorbikes – now that’ll be fun as I can’t even cycle in a straight line yet. (MM scratches head and reaches for coffee).

I think you can. It’s the category BE, infact: “Category B vehicles with trailer when combined weight of vehicle and trailer is over 3,500kg”.

I have just double checked and used my fingers and toes this time. I have all the right categories. I am sorely tempted to tell Mr Cretino that he is now famous across blogo land 🙂 .

When I look in the mirror I don’t see this either. Sometimes I look older sometimes I look younger.
I thought it was interesting to consider what bloggers look like. I don’t post any pics of me or Mrs Sensible (although there is one pick when she is in a crowd shot of 200 teachers fighting to get into a school to sit an exam. 🙂

Yeah it is definitely interesting, some blogs are full of pictures, some none at all. I guess if there aren’t any pictures, one automatically, (often subconscioulsy) forms an idea in their mind of what the bloggers look like!

I decided from the beginning not to upload any real pics of me and Mrs Sensible. All though there is one clear shot of her but she is not named. I might sneak one of me in later just for the fun.

Such a cute couple, yes you are! Amazing how some folks in blogland are able to fool the rest of the fools that go around following and fawning over each other’s blogs. 🙂 🙂 🙂 All this time most of us thought that you and Mrs Sensible were very young and oh so good looking. Now you have taken the lid off the pot and all your “hot air” has escaped. 🙂
I am so envious of your quick wit. You are quick witted, are you not? Or maybe savvy?

We are young, we just aged very badly, it is the stress of trying to sit in the sun, drink wine and chase Mr Cretino for my driving licence.

It is funny, because in my head every blogger (except for you, actually) talks with a midwestern American dialect. Because I talk that way–although nobody around me does! LOL And once on my blog, I mentioned that my voice is really high-pitched and childlike sounding, and everyone was surprised.
Blogging is funny, because we know everyone’s deepest secrets, but wouldn’t recognize each other on the street!
