No Cha Cha for Cha

In other news. A Korean lady of 68 years called 'Cha' has failed her written driving test for the 771st time this week. My mere two pales in comparison to this impressive feat. Has anyone notified the Guiness World Records? Because they really SHOULDN'T sleep on this. Channel Four *might* even make a program on it.

A local traffic officer said this "I feel sorry every time I see Cha fail. When she passes, I'll make a commemorative tablet myself and give it to her," I'm sure this will make her passing date all the more memorable Mr Jung-seok, you sweet sweet man. Maybe you should feel sorry for her Mr Jung-Seok because she appears to be a total utter moron. I could train my four year old blind Guinea-Pig to pass a Korean written driving test! And how about if you ever see her on the roads you should escort her to the nearest bus stop.

Frances Carpenter is even considering making a more up to date version of his 'Tales of a Korean Grandmother' to direct it towards a modern audience. Maybe Cha will have a cameo?

Apprently thus far the tests have cost her a mere £2000 to take. Isn't that the cost of a single driving lesson in Britain? Lucky she's not from here or else the financial burden would be intolerable.

Isn't her taking so many tests just a tad mean! Does her family egg her on every time she fails, or it is her own self determination that spurrs her through her past failures? Maybe they should just let her pass and hopefully she won't bother with the Practical test because she's too busy being shacked up with Mr Jung-Seok, or maybe they should just tell her to pursue a different avenue of transportation. A bicycle or a skateboard for example - you don't need tests for those.

Word on the streets of Seoul is that she is back next week for another written test, will it be 772nd time lucky for Cha? Either way I wish Cha the very best of luck next week, and fingers crossed I wont see her on the roads any time soon.
