Car Hire – the Alternative to Risking Public Transport

Normally I’ve got little time for driving – you can’t read if you’re driving and you can’t get in the car after a couple of beers the way you can with a train or bus (and if you do, you suck and you should remove yourself from the human race right now), earphones are usually a bad idea and some of my best phone conversations have been had on a train. Plus, the roads tend to be full of morons, which is why I’m glad I sold my car, but this weekend I’ve got quite a long journey ahead of me and I just don’t trust public transport to get me there on time, so I’ve gone the car hire route.

My life really is that fascinating at the moment. I’m heading up to Nottingham this weekend to see some friends and hang out at Rock City; it’s a pretty long journey and I just don’t trust the train to get me there on time the way they’ve been lately, so I’m hiring a car and I’m going to drive up there. I will remain calm. I will not wish doom, pain or suffering on anyone the whole way and I will not wrap the car around a tree because I haven’t driven in ages.

I’m not sure how convinced I am by any of those either.
