I think it's time for a song!
"Duh-nuh, duh-nuh, dude drives like a lady!"
Ah the fun of women drivers.
I had a female bus driver the other day she went over 6, yes SIX curbs on the 15 minute journey to work!
They should be banned from the roads.

I suppose it's easy for anyone to make 'easy-money' out of you, these days...
I'm gonna have to go to the garage later to get the wheel changed on my car, after I 'took the trim clean-off' a few weeks ago, and this slow-puncture has suddenly decided to surface itself.
Phoned up the other day for a price, and they said "£20 or so, with VAT on top of that". Yet, for something so 'simple' many people tend to sort themselves, it seems a little steep, if you ask me...?
Then again, I suppose, like all of these kind of services, they do have 'minimum charges' they have to make to the customer, I suppose.
It's like me, soon-to-be a qualified Carpenter (in another year's time). This teacher we had last year, he said the minimum you should charge for ANY job or call-out - no matter how small - should be £20. And, believe it or not, but in London, the minimum there is £50, just for a call-out!! :o
Boy, I'm glad I don't live in London!
...Or am I? ;)
If I knew how to do it myself (and had the tools), I'd do it. If my dad was around, he'd probably have done it by now. If my always-doing-something neighbour wasn't up-to-his-FRINGE with work, I could probably get him to do it, also!
Oh, well. At least, this way, it's being done profesionally. :I
How did I do it? Driving down a 'CLOSED' road (right-hand lane) and a little carelessly not seeing that post someone had left a little far over the road 'til quite late... The signs were clearly there, and, although it was late and quiet in the evening, I know that, really, I shouldn't have listened to my friend who said 'it's okay', even if it does cut a good 10 minutes off the drive. :P
At least I've learnt from it. I'll never do anything like that again.

Good luck to everyone getting their AS/A2 grades today, I got mine BBBCE which ain't bad.. except from the E but that's in Chemistry and it's already been dropped.
The forums seem to be working now.. seems like everyone else was having problems posting too last night.
Anyways, back from holidays at last. Yeehar.

I agree.

I also agree.

She's doing it again! Only saw her briefly again yesterday, and again, she's trying to engage in coversation with me! :o
It talk. She talks. We talk.
...What's changed - that's what I want to know.
Is she no longer with her boyfriend, looking to move on?
Or, does she feel "stuck" with him, wanting to escape and try something new, with something (someone) to take her in and keep warm?
This is the part I hate - trying to find out! :S
No, I don't neccesarily think I "need" her for my life, either. Not in the long run, anyway. At this point in time, she seems to be uplifting, and I think I could do with something like that now (with more of my mates soon to be moving away to Uni, as another year passes-by and such).
I took time to figure it all out a few months ago, and it really did make sense. Now... After all this time, and still... It's like another chapter is being written, or I'm still not right in the head, following the effects of other things that hit me hard last year...?
She was the first sign of `comfort´, to put it very simply.
Yet, everything's changing again...

Anyway, back to Skies of Arcadia:
Where does Maramba dissapear to, late-on in the game?
I followed the map to where it should (and used to) be, but there was nothing there except empty land... I only went there to find a lost person. A woman/girl in Esperanza asked me to find her mother/daughter, so I thought I'd give it a go, with time to spare.
I couldn't find that Angel of Death for our fourth-and-final battle, either. I beat her the third, learnt about the past... But, she wasn't there the next time. She wasn't ANYWHERE! Strangely, there wasn't even a 'Black Spot' in the Sailors' Guild, either.

There we go, I've bought it.
£29.99 from Play.
(SR don't have it in their database, how useless.)

Genius game, it is, especially if you're a fairly good gamer. Its rock hard, but hella fun.
I'm considering buying Ikaruga, it's still quite expensive at £29.99 and eBay copies are going for around £25 so I'm not going to bother buying off of there.
Is it worth it?
I would win it but seeing as they haven't updated Gameaday in the last 2 weeks I'll leave it, I've just lost the willpower to post reviews after the last 6 months, considering that the last 4 reviews won, I should really submit more...
Ah, sod it, I can't be arsed.
