So, I come up to a roundabout, told to turn-right and take the third-exit by the examiner sat next to me. I look around me and I see it as busy going both-ways (even though, I could've probably squeezed-out straight-away along with the others to my left - but I thought that wouldn't be the kind of thing they'd want to see). I wait, and I wait, and I wait, until I finally get what looks to be the chance to go (...and a 'minor' mark for Hesitation!). I look left, it's clear to go. I look right (to `give-way´) and the dark-navy-blue is indicating to go "Left". And so, after checking again the other way and seeing it is clear, I release the handbrake, give it some gas and start to move...
"BOOM!" "Uh... Look at the black car!" she says.
Yes, that DARK-BLUE Peugot 306 that was SIGNALLING LEFT when he arrived at the roundabout has now decided that he instead wanted to go STRAIGHT-AHEAD (where no signal is required until you pass the penultimate exit, on a major roundabout) - and, therefore, caused me to FAIL my driving test -AGAIN!- with a "Dangerous" fault for "Observation"!!
As soon as she slammed her big, fat foot on her brake pedal, and the car slammed to a halt, I KNEW already that this test was over - only half-way into it!
I felt like telling her "Alright! Okay! I KNOW I've failed it now - why don't we just finish the test now and save us both some wasted time?!?"
I did my manouveres fine (although, I was again a little wide with my reversing-round-a-corner), and again, got only 8 minor marks for not checking my mirrors and stuff - but AGAIN I've been let-down by ONE stupid mistake.
I can now accept that I deserved to fail last-time for what happened there, but really, it wasn't all my fault this time.
And because of that one idiot who didn't know where he was going, I fail - he gets to drive-on; doing everything wrong; when and where-ever he likes!! :@
To say I feel like Sh!+e is an understatement... I feel much worse than I did last-time I failed! And now, I know I'll have to wait even longer than the usual 2-and-a-half-months for my next failure, just because it's Christmas! I really don't feel like going to tommorow - even if she's there. I really am thinking of packing-in going to the Christmas Party, too... Everything just seems to f'cked-up, right now!!
I reckon I must be "Cursed" or something... Ever since we moved to this house (almost 6 years ago, now) EVERYTHING has been going wrong or getting worse for me...! Before we moved, it was all near-perfect. But while everyone else has been enjoying Life around me in recent years, I've just found it to be like Hell, at times.
The one who clearly isn't "meant" to Drive...
The one who's always the one to have to dodgy computer in IT lessons...
The one who somehow always gets missed-out when the teacher's giving hand-outs to the class.... That's me! I am cursed!
But we're moving back to my old village in January; back where life was Good. I'll bet you ANYTHING that I pass my test, on the third-attempt, once I've moved back there! ANYTHING!!! You name it, and I'll win the bet!
That's just the way life is to me!
Have a very Merry Christmas, everyone - I probably won't! :P :(
I've already gone and put my foot through something in a blind-rage, since I got back...! :S

Lol. That reminds me of something someone does playing 'important' pool doubles matches -
When someone corks up a shot he'll say 'dick shot'. Just gets both players smiling and relaxes them both.
Which reminds me of some job interview advice I read in the life forum a while ago -
Write on your leg in marker pen, 'you only want me for my huge nob'.
Then whenever you think of it you'll smile and relax (plus smiling looks good in interviews).
Why not go for the second one? Just don't wear shorts for the test :^D
