    I'm thinking of going ahead with becoming a bike messenger, after sorting out a new bike, my current one is steel frame and a bit shit. anyway was just wondering if having a driving lisence is a requisite, just worrying as i don't have one, learner or anything, just thought maybe its asked to show for road knowledge or something, cheers.

    Oh yeah, you definitely need one of those.

    No, you don't. There is a courier NVQ, but I don't know anything about the syllabus, or anyone who has one. Not the sort of thing that gets boasted about at the Duke.

    All you need is a bike, bag and....

    and a brain. and a map. and some deodorant. and maybe some waterproofs. and enough money to buy all the food you'll need. and the ability to deal with hostile situations

    although you will be needing an off-license.

    pile cream and a whole bag of witty comebacks to the shout 'this is a one way street mate'.
    ps. saying 'i'm only going one way' dosn't work any more.

    best comeback I've ever heard was by ChickenHawk in Glasgow:
    "Oi! Do you not know what a red light means?"
    "Aye. It means your mum's back in business."

    remember a guy in sydney walking out of a lift into a crowded lunchtime lobby and yelling at the guy who had been in the lift with him,
    'you want me to suck your what?'.
