If at first you don’t succeed, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again.
That was the attitude taken by a young lady who has finally passed her driving test at the 24th time of asking.
Remarkable stuff.
In Monday’s Courier we have full details of the nation’s most persistent learner drivers.
Meanwhile, the AA driving school reveals one person turned up to take their test having prepared by playing MarioKart on the Nintendo Wii. Mama Mia.
Another hopeful relied on a lucky charm in the form of the trousers she was wearing when her daughter was conceived seven years previously. Nice.
It really is the kind of breathtaking news that results in one shaking one’s head in a show of near incomprehensible disbelief (while having your breath taken, obviously).
Barely less amazing are details of the hardy adventurers who set off down the river Tay en route to the Thames but ended up getting blown back to beyond their starting point. Oops.
Everyone is now safely back on terra firm, nursing nothing more than battered pride. We have all the very latest.
Meanwhile, it was a terrific weekend for those who like going to places where there are lots of people gathered together to share some form of outdoor experience.
More specifically, we report on the latest exploits of that well-travelled Commonwealth baton, take time out at Thornton Highland Games and reflect on yet another highly successful Game Fair. Hurrah for the great outdoors.
We also have details of a rather unusual cruise down the Forth…featuring naturists. Oof.
They even enjoyed a BBQ. That could have had simply ghastly consequences…
Were all those taking part ship-shape? Or were they on the wrong bare-ing?
Find out, if you dare, in Monday’s naughty nautical edition.
It was a busy weekend but, my word, we are not complaining. And neither will you when you take the opportunity to snap up your Monday morning Courier. It really is super stuff. Won’t take the hint and pick up print? I understand and it is an eventuality for which we have catered. How? I hear you cry (not literally, I’m using my imagination). Well, since you ask (still using my imagination you see) I’ll tell you. We have catered very specifically for you by putting together a rather splendid digital edition. Why not give it a bash? There’s nothing (or at least so little so as to be statistically negligible) to lose and so, so much (see all that lovingly detailed above) to gain.
