England almost lost it all, when it got to a draw. They let them get there.
Feels so strange today - England winning something. Very odd.
I always thought I didn't care about rugby no matter what, but I started watching 10 minutes from the end of normal time (the start of the exciting bit :^) ) and was hooked.
What is this strange feeling? Is it national pride? Or maybe I'm just hungry...
Then I looked across the street, our biggotted, low IQ'd ape neghbour has a george cross hung outside.
Suddenly my embryonic baby of nationalism meets the food blender of reality and turns into messy shame :^)

Indeed they do...
STARS are a really attractive prospect for the Nintendo fans.
A pretty smart idea and we thought of it first!
Impressive.

Afternoon all.

Yeah, I do that with my manouveres, and it works really well (just so long as I keep my feet steady while reverse-parking, anyway).
As for driving in general, it doesn't always seem to work in most situations. In some, it will help me out a great deal (like when I have to give-way down a narrow/narrowed street, or something). But other times, I will start to think about it too much, and either start to go too slowly, or do things "blindly" as I attempt to move while still having not made my mind up about what exactly to do.
I doubt it'll matter in the test, anyway. Back in my first test, it all came "naturally" to me. I only had to think about doing my 2 manouveres, and they went brilliantly. But when I tried to think about changing gear at one-point in the test, while driving generally, I got a "Serious" Fault for going to fast and losing control a bit.
That still 'haunts' me today from my last test - I really hope I don't have to go around that corner again, on the 3rd December! :S
Given the fact that days are getting ever-shorter now, looks like I'll be doing most of my driving in the dark, tonight.
I don't mind driving at night - infact, I find it 'easier' than driving in the day, most of the time, just because everything is 'highlighted' for you. The only thing I don't like are brake-lights in the dark.
Which "Genious" came up with the idea of using the same bulb for brake and rear lights, eh?!?

Yeah, probably, but there's always hope ;^)

That might be where you're going wrong - maybe you should try to drive quite well instead :^D
Ah well, good luck as always
And on a serious note, when I was learning I'd sometimes try to think through the maneuvers, turning/junction procedures and things in my head, sort of a mental practice.
I felt it helped, and in the end I passed.
Could be a half-ashed substitute for getting more practice in.

Oh, how I love Fridays! Yes, I know today is Thursday, but, you see, I'll be working tommorow instead of today - on a day where almost-everyone goes home early, leaving "just a few of us" 'til 5-'o'-clock; giving me another great chance to ask someone about the Christmas Party... :)
Bah. But, knowing me, I'll probably 'blow-it' again! :P
Got a driving lesson booked for later, so that's someting to look forward to. My instructor is still adament I get more time in driving my own car, with my test less-than-2-weeks-away; but he's obviously 'forgotten' what it's like to drive with your parents (which is why I often can't stand the thought of it!) - just like how adults also forget "what it's like to be a teenager".
I'm feeling different about this up-coming test, this time, compared to the last one... I'm not as "anxious" as I was before, and I think that's because I'm more "in preparation" for it, because I failed last time.
I don't want to rush into it again, but I do want to drive, quite badly...
I know I "can" do it - this was proven in may first test alone... But I don't want to keep saying it to myself incase my expectations and levels of confidence become too-high, again.
One thing I do need to do, though, is to start my Christmas shopping.
Everyone else seems to have virtually done it already (which I cannot believe, only halfway through November!), and I'm, apparently, going to "miss-out on all the Sales"...
But how can the 'CHRISTMAS Sales' end long-before the 25th December???
Bloody women - the lot of 'em! :P
Whenever I want to spend money right now, though, it's all going towards myself. I'll be pre-ordering Bruce Almighty and Mario and Luig: Superstar Saga later (both due-out on Monday), yet I still want to get The Simpsons: Hit and Run, and take a look at Virgin's "5 DVDs for £30" sale (if that's still going?).
Christmas is definitley gonna be 'tough' this year, ...and I blame Nintendo! :P
:)
