ssm are better

no theyre true i just dont watch his top gear work he's my faveourite to be the next Dr Who

i dont know him , but admire his policy of searching for value

your insurance goes sky high with points

that speed maintaining business allcomes together with the gears
0-10 = gear 1 11-20 = gear 2 21-30 =gear 3 etc

[Effulgent]

I watched an episode of Braniac he was good on that

he'll be great as the next doctor! Hopefully we'll have an episode where Rose comes back with Jackie and Jackie hits on him because she thinks Richard is the bees knees and Rose gets angry and tells her it's the doctor and Jackie says "oh no I'm married and have a new child! "

yeah he goes up to people who are shopping and tells them he can get things for cheaper (like in goodness gracious me ) and they go and have a coffee and he haggles and goes to dixons and currys and plays them off eachother, I'm not sure when it's on, but sometimes when I leave my tv on, and wake up at night about 2am you get his shows with sign language on bbc 1 they're good.

was your insurence expenisve? are you rich?

Thanks!
my dad was telling me about the gears and the gas meter? and how if you go to 2, go on gear 2 it goes faster etc, a lot of this driving stuff is just common sense! but it's not easy!

i WAS HOPING JACKIE WOULD STAY EVEN IF rOSE LEFT

The bbcnews 24 channel has some very annoying people on at that time

it was mighty expensive so i pay in installments

he's teaching you well it would seem

[Effulgent]

I really liked Jackie by the end it would have been great if Jackie was the new companion, haha her sulking in the corner and him teasing her! liek omg it's liek spuffy and Rhett and Scarlett!

yeah it does! some of the presenters annoy me but I like the heartbeat like sound! and the to to to to when they're off having a cup of coffee.

you must have a job then If it was 20 pound a month I would be ok with that, or 30 - 50 with a job

yeah looks like it!, I didn't feel sick or cry or anything like that today!

[z]

I'd have found that easier to accept than a new girl on the doc's arm

They have an annoying segment called hardtalk

yeah i think mines 100 a month but if i stay pointles () it will be less in the second year

those are good signs

[JamesMFan]

Oh yeah, I have an "in" with the motoring industry. I'll just give my instuctor the secret Motor Trade handshake and he/she will pass me instantly.

From the few casual lessons I've had thus far I've been driving a diesel van (oh yeah, a van, work it) and when I tried my dad's petrol car I was known as Lady Stalls-a-Lot. My sister told me it's a lot easier to stall in a petrol car. Well, daaaaaam.

I think now I have my provisional I should actually try and get some professional lessons but I hate making a fool of myself. And anyway the cost! I'd have to do them on the weekend too, making the cost even higher. Arse.

ACK. Reversing makes no sense to me. I thought you had to turn the steering wheel the opposite way too.

Sometimes the guys at work talk about insurance details and no claims and monthly installments and I just listen, bewildered. I think I'm starting to get it now sort of though. My insurance would be deviant. DEVIANT.

[z]

I only hear good things about diesel cars , but i didnt get one , oh well .

try reversing in vice city , the steering in reverse works the same way .

theres so many sould destroying seeming obstacles in the way and it maakes everything seem so out of reach , but you just have to plough through all the provisional application /theory/practical/insurance balls

[JamesMFan]

They use up more fuel though, don't they? D'you think I could request having a shoddy diesel van as my lesson vehicle?

Oh, right, 'cos Vice City is the Offical Driving Practive game.

They make it seem bleak on purpose, those sods.

[z]

you could take your test in it certainly

it works the same wayy for reversing

theyre utter c++ts

[JamesMFan]

I know that but the lessons! THE LESSONS!

Okay, I'll believe you, since you've passed but it's still more difficult than you're making it sound.

That's why I hate people who phone me up at work and complain about having to leave their car with us for the day "How am I supposed to get to work? Waaa waaa". TRY THE ARSING BUS!

[Effulgent]

when my dad was reversing for me I looked through the mirror and had my hands on the steering wheel so I could look(Feel) where he was steering it and the Ernsolder is right, left for left, right for right etc.

my dad was telling me about parking and stuff too and looking behind and making sure you have the same position when doing it all the time, or else you'll eff it up and crash into something nooo soo complicated! my mum said that she thinks I'll pass easily, yeah right!

I stalled a lot too!

we use unleaded petrol oh yeah *pops collar and hip bone*

[JamesMFan]

Oh, well, if your dad says so it must be true. I already conceded the point!

I fancy driving an automatic.

[Effulgent]

I think I'll get myself one when I pass.

OHH NO I'LL HAVE TO BUY A CAR I'll get a cheap 80s car for a thousand or 200 quid from the newspaper

yeah he was like don't move your whole body! only your head! wtf! drivers should get free neck messages from mechanics! if that's true

ohh we'll have three tests to pass I wish I was alive in the olden days when you only had to do the practical.

practical, theory, hazard.. something test ugh

[z]

i want to try using an automatic just in case i ever need to in an emergency situation

my mate reckons you can undo the seatbelt for reverse parking and turn fully round to make sure youre gooing the right way


the hazzard perception bit is bizarre

[JamesMFan]

Everyone keeps trying to warn me off automatic, just because they know how to drive stupid manual!
