not a good start to my day..... - Mark (Brazil)
How to be cool (Lesson 1):

1) Drive along Copocabana Beach Road in the Sun
2) Window down, elbow out, stereo on
3) Impressively screech to a halt outside beach cafe full of scenery
4) Strut in leaving car running, stereo on
5) Nonchalantly buy cigarettes, greeting cafe owner as friend
6) Strut back out to car and athletically leap in
7) Sit, ponder on apparant geography issue with missing steering wheel
8) Notice similar steering wheel to my left
9) Quietly get out of car, walk around other side and get back in where steering wheel is, amid hysterical laughter echoing from Cafe

Slink off, window up, elbow in, stereo quiet, wondering where to get cigarettes in future

you are one lucky person living in that part of the world! I lived in Recife for 3 months and would stay there anyday, if only there was work there!

You should have driven off on wrong side of road to really finish your day.

Mark,
Youv'e managed to do it again.
After your grovelling display to the waiter a few weeks ago I would have thought you had learnt your lesson.
You will soon be the new Ronnie Biggs of South America and people will be paying to watch.
Regards

Alvin. p.s. let us know your next episode......

Pathetic, isn't it.

I try so hard to be cool, it ought to be easier than this.
