Things that make you go :-)) take two!

Hey, you're too young for this conversation.^ Let's talk about Rik Mayall and hedgehogs instead
 
Back from holiday. So happy to be in my own home with some personal space of my own and some peace and quiet. Being sociable is exhausting. Why do people do it? Oh and I still have a whole week off work!
 
He's probably too young for the hedgehog conversation too!



I know how you feel - I like being on my own and 'me' time and start to get stressed if I have to spend too much time with other people.

Where did you go for your hols?
 
remind me i need to talk to you about 1/4 inch webbing on monday please, got a hectic weekend so i'll forget.
 
^ that is actually more impressive than what I had in mind but along those lines, we don't have any bull sculptures in Cambridge, though there are a few dinosaurs in the grounds of Jesus

about a month ago some of the lampposts were wool wrapped during the early hours, today it was the bike posts, different colours and sizes of wool, I think I know who did the knitting as she lives fairly close and no I am not talking in the third person
 
Lol, yeah I know. I think I nearly failed the vision test.

There was one instance where the instructor asked me where the blinking light was. I stupidly answered "in the bottom right hand corner".

That corner was where the traffic light symbol was. The blinking light was indeed on the other opposite side.
 
ROTFLMAO! Sounds like me! When I did my eye test for driving, the examiner kept having to move us close to the car so I could read the license plate!

How is your test done - is it a computer simulation?
 
The Vision Test has us look through this optical device (similar to what you see in an optometrists office) where it displays numbers, blinking lights, and various symbols and representations of objects you may see on the road, a prime example being a sumbol of a traffic light. The instructor would then ask where an object was (center, upper left, bottom right), or what the series of numbers were.

The Driver Knowledge test was a multiple choice test on a secure website, and the way it worked is that the moment you got six wrong, you were booted of the system and failed, and the moment you got 24 right, you were booted of the system with a message saying you passed, and that your instructor has been notified.
 
Actually I don't I employ the services of a chauffeur!





I would have failed that vision test - I'm crap at remembering sequences of numbers. Is the knowledge test done at a test centre or from home?
 
The vision test in the UK isn't worth chocolate buttons. But soon it will be replaced with something from the EU that's a bit more scientific and a lot more bureaucratic in 2013.
