I had been researching in the local newspaper to find a decent skip hire in Manchester. This was because my wife had recently dug up the garden, and she was not impressed at all of the grass that had been "dug up" by my bike. She said that my bike would probably pass the driving test better than me, but I was not bothered. It got rid of the grass well.

I had recently just passed my van driving test, not the automatic driving lessons, the full manual gear lessons, so that I could drive any type of van without being given an instruction from someone else in the van. It also meant that my insurance would be lower, and that I wouldn't need to lug round a friend every time my missus wanted something from the shops.

Young drivers need to take a driving class to learn how to be a defensive driver. Teenagers and new drivers that are inexperienced in the world of driving cause a majority of the crashes.

I initially thought the man at the door knocked to check my gas meter, but it turned out he was a salesperson for some skip bin hire company. Great. I didn't know how to get rid of him 'cos he looked so desperate, like he'd been walking around all day being fobbed off by every Tom, Dick and Harry. Now he was looking at me with big puppy-dog eyes while still trying to maintain the little shred of professionalism left in his skinny body (and over sized grey suit).I felt sorry for him which is why I let him in and made him a cup of tea. While he was rabbiting away, I pretended I was interested but my mind was miles away. I was thinking about where I left the instruction manual for the new mobile phone I recently bought. I'd looked everywhere and couldn't find it and was wondering if I called Carphone Warehouse or went into one of their branches, they'd be ever so kind as to give me a new manual. I was hoping they would as I spent a fortune on the phone, including the insurance. I wondered if the insurance covered instruction manuals and then started racking my brain over where I left the damn insurance policy. Next, I'd be looking for the mobile phone. I was in such a forgetful, clumsy mood that week. It was no wonder I seemed to be misplacing everything.

I am interested in a career in the industry but everyone seems to think that in order to be an hgv driver you have to be a man. The truth is that a female can be as good an hgv driver as any man. If a woman is good at driving and is interested in earning more money than what other industries are offering at the moment then becoming an hgv driver might be a good idea.

I parked my van outside the hotel. I rolled down the window and took a gulp of fresh air. Inside the van was stifling, but I wasn't supposed to open the window to even catch my breath. The windows were tinted for privacy's sake, and lowering them revealed me. This was something my employer didn't want. I was to be discrete. The classic car that was marked passed by. Finally he'd arrived I said to myself. I had been circling the block for hours before just waiting for him. He let out his client, a girl in her late teens he was presumably giving car driving lessons to, and pulled down the visor. He checked his hair in the embedded mirror and then flipped it back up. As he reached to turn on the radio I got out of the car. With the music at full blast he didn't hear the door of my van slamming shut and me approaching. I went up to the left hand side of the classic car and took out my silenced Beretta. I hid it by my side and knocked on the window. His head darted towards me and he, as I expected, rolled down the window as a matter of courtesy. "John Connor?" I asked in a menacing monotone. "Yes?" he replied hesitantly. "The insurance groups that you defrauded for millions say 'hi'," I said, deadpan as usual. "Oh my god---" he tried but didn't have time to finish. My gun had already let out 3 rounds by then and he slumped into his seat, dead. I left the classic car and phoned my employers as I scrambled into the van. The insurance groups were pleased. They offered me another mission but I said it would have to wait a few hours until I got a new change of clothes and had a chance to relax. The insurance groups agreed. I went back to my apartment and sat down at the TV to just chill. Football was on; Arsenal versus Manchester United. I watched for a few minutes until the phone rang again. I got up and headed out.

I've been in a dead end job since I've left school. It's time I put a lot of thought into a career change, but I'm not sure which career to change to. Most careers require qualifications as well as experience and I can't afford to go back to college to study for a new career. And I need to work to pay for my home.

The entire time that I was taking driving lessons I was looking forward to the day when I would pass my test and eventually be the proud owner of my favourite classic car. I had always dreamed of owning a Morris Minor just like the one in the Herbie films, although Herbie was actually a VW Beetle. I wasnt going to let the model of car stop me living my dream!

Published Friday, 17th Jul 09:59 BST

Ben had just celebrated his 17th birthday, and he had been given some driving lessons! He had been enrolled with the 'Auto driving school'. They provided cheap driving lessons, and you could learn to drive in anything from a 3-wheeler car, to a delivery lorry. Ben chose to learn in a small white van. It was the type of van an electrician would have, and Ben was pleased with the image it gave him. Ben had lessons for about 7 months before his instructor said he was ready for his test. Ben was excited and a little nervous, but his instructor said thathe was a natural driver, and one of the best he had taught! During the test Ben drove perfectly, he was really pleased with himself! 'Im sure to have passed this!' he thought to himself. As he was driving back to the test centre however, he was asked to reverse around a corner. "I can do this easily" smiled Ben, as he reversed the van perfectly around the corner. "Sorry" said theexaminer"You've failed your test". "What?! How?! When?!" spluttered Ben horrified. "You failed to see a car approaching when you reversed around the corner. It was a dangerous fault, and has caused you to fail." Ben sat there for a second thinking about this. "No there wasn't" he said suddenly. "There was no car coming! I checked! I never saw one!" he was sure of it. "Exactly" said the examiner and got out of the car. Ben was upset as his instructor drove him home, and suspected that the examiner had made up the imaginary car just to fail him! Two months later, Ben took the test again. The lessons from the 'auto driving school' were so cheap that he didn't really mind the extra tuition between the tests, but he didn't fancy failing again! Just as the first time, Ben drove perfectly, and just as the first time, he failed! This time the examiner reckoned thatBen hadn't seen an imaginary lady at a zebra crossing that he didn't stop for. "This is ridiculous!" thought Ben. "They'Re failing me on purpose, and I cant prove that they're lying!". He paid the 'Auto driving school' for some more lessons and took his test for the 3rd time. When he failed again for a similar reason he decided to complain. There seemed to be a long queue in the test centre for a complaints form, and he asked the girl in front of him what she was complaining about. "I keep failing" she told him "but i know the examiners are lying! They say I failed over things that never happened! Its just a trick to make us pay for more tests and lessons!". "Oh I don't really mind that" said Ben "my lessons are really cheap - I'm more bothered about not passing!". The girl looked at him as if he was stupid. "cheap?!" she said outraged "cheap?! I bet you've taken your test at least3times! Its not cheap anymore is it! Its costing you a bomb! You just haven't noticed! It all adds up!". Ben blinked at her as he realized that what she was saying was true. Theyre all in it together! The driving instructors and the examiners! They are failing everybody to earn more money!. Ben was disgusted, "They wont know whats him them once Ive filled in this complaint form!" He thought to himself grimly, as he picked up his pen.

The local skip hire firm was going on the defensive. Again. That makes a change, doesn't it? They'd just learned that a new company, calling themselves Skip Hire UK, had just opened in some far off cityand were promoting themselves as the last word in the world of skip hire. This would never do. Not at all. Ever.
