1) My friend Nigel has been in detention for 4 days. He was arrested for carefulcarecarelesscarelesslycarefullyI don't know driving. He's a salesman and his habitual and constant driving requires the greatest carelessnesscarelesscarefulnesscarefulcarelesslyI don't know and attention. When I sit next to him in his car, his carefullycarefulcarecarelessnesscarelessI don't know drives me mad. Yesterday, as Nigel was driving me to the station to catch my train to Brighton, I saw a group of kids on the side of the road. 'Be carefullycarelesslycarelesscarefulcareI don't know !' I said. 'You cannot make assumptions with kids! They're too young to take carecarefulcarelesscarefullycarelesslyI don't know of themselves.' He replied carelesscarefullycarecarefulcarelesslyI don't know, visibly not interested in my remark ... Then, it happened! The car swerved, a kid was hit and sent to hospital. The little boy stayed in intensive carelesslycarelesscarefullycarecarefulI don't know for 2 days. Now, he seems to be out of the woods, but I suppose Nigel will drive more carefulcarelesslycarelesscarecarefullyI don't know when they give him (hopefully or not!) his driving licence back ... in a year or two! Then, I hope he'll be very, very carelesslycarefullycarelesscarefulcareI don't know !
