There is a saying that first 0. impressions are generally correct and I would impress
say that 1., throughout my entire life, I have found this to be true all
apart from one notable exception of a good friend and neighbour with
whom my first 2. was decidedly unfriendly. At the time of our change
first meeting I was living in a 3. area of London, not far from the deprive
exit of a dual 4. and this meant that although it was a residential carry
street, even with the 5. will in the world, drivers would often travel good
dangerously fast within inches of my front door. This used to really annoy
me and I have to admit I did often go a bit 6. in expressing board
my anger even though (or perhaps because) I knew I didn't stand a
7. chance of being taken notice of or even noticed at all. So reason
when one day, I shouted my usual string of swear words at a rapidly passing
car and it immediately screamed to a halt, my first reaction was an enormous
sense of 8. But then the driver of the car opened his window achieve
and shouted a stream of swear words back at me. So the next morning, I
was more than a little surprised to find an apology note from the same motorist
in my mail box explaining that in an attempt to 9. his career as an far
up and coming IT 10. he had been driving too fast the previous consult
evening and inviting me to have dinner with him and his wife.
