That's disturbing... I'm glad I don't have kids to do that to me.
I renewed my licence for 10 years just after I turned 72 and bought a 6 speed manual car that can (theoretically) reach 250kph. Admittedly, I haven't had it over 168kph yet and I don't know whether it will do 30kph - except transiently as I'm moving up to second gear...

If he's still got the reflexes and skills to use a scalpel, then he can drive a car.

Now you're picking on me? Of course you are. That makes me sad.
Todays episode was someone came to me for help with something they did wrong. Every time I pointed out something they should have done differently, I was the bad guy.
They approached me to fix something, and somehow teaching them the right way to do something is putting them down?
This is from people 20+ years my senior. This is why I don't generalise generations. There are f**kwit babies in all age groups.
