KarmaTsunami Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 There are some from the beginning of the night, but towards the middle the cake tins and feathers were, quite literally, getting on my tits, so off they came. I have my finishers medal and extremely sore knees from going downhill on cobble-stone streets. Loads of guys taking photos. Hope they were friends/family/proper photographers and not just random pervs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact I think that's the first year there was even a theory test and it was an absolute piece of piss back then. You literally had to be retarded to fail it.

You literally had to be retarded to fail it.Thanks!Aye, I know....just want the practical out of the way!Basically the Hazard Perception is 14 clips you have to watch and you click when you spot a developing hazard. You score points relating to when you click. It's a load of shit to be honest. The theory test is reasonably hard these days, compared to how it used to be anyways, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You score points relating to when you click. It's a load of shit to be honest. The theory test is reasonably hard these days, compared to how it used to be anyways,Sounds fairly worthwhile actually. A lot of people drive through the city and don't pay attention to what's going on on the pavements etc and slow down for potential hazards. eg if I see kids playing football, or a dog running about on the pavement or something, I don't wait till they are actually on the road before I slow down, I just slow down to be safe, but a lot of people won't even notice them till they are on the road in front of them.One of the questions on my theory:What is the cycle of the colours on a traffic light?A - Red > red/amber > green > amber > red.B - Green > red > amber > green > red.C - Green > red > blue > red > purple.

The main problem is it's not from the perspective of the driver, the camera is outside the car so it makes it a bit different from driving in real life....if you get what I mean. It probably is a good idea to include it though.I didn't find the theory test hard but that's only because I really studied for it. If you don't study for it, you've not got a hope in hell of passing these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I clearly was concentrating to much haha.Managed to scare some girl beside me too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ca_gere Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Fucking fucker.seconded! Ullapool is the shit!Just out of interest, coz i've always wanted to go, how feasible is Japan as a holiday destination? can it be done on the cheap in any way? I've always considered it a place you'd have to live and work rather than holiday to as it's so expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossP Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Japan is going to be mega expensive unfortunately. It's 600 for return flights alone, Abdn-Heathrow-Tokyo and the reverse back.Luckily my mate is living slap bang in the middle of Tokyo, so i'll have a free place to sleep and a guide to the cheaper places for food and drink. He's currently working over there as one of the Blue Man Group: He's the one on the right. Jammy git gets VIP passes for MTV music awards and the like! I'm aiming to last 2 weeks with less than 1000, as the day after I land back in Scotland, I fly off to mega expensive Oslo for the Scotland game.Wedding on saturday in Elgin and then Ullapool next week though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Seeing as everyone is complaining about being too hot at work in the pet hates thread, i'll throw my being cool at work due to working in a temperature controlled warehouse, walking from the heat into a nice cool warehouse has been bliss the last few days.

Gonna spend much time in Beer gardens, playing pool, doing pub quizzes, going to gigs and other ace-ic British things. Anyone know if there's anything good on in july in Abdn? can't seem to find much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The apartment is part of a hostel, so that was a pure scoop 10 per day!! Very basic tho!I went to Brussels a few years back fro the xmas markets it was amazing!!
