Local library doesn't have a copy.
You can find a copy on Amazon for like £0.01
We have so many books in the house (mum is a jumble sales addict) that I was hoping for the option that involves not keeping the book/encourage me to read it.
It is but you'll eventually get the hang of it and it'll be just like a riding a bike. I passed my test back in 2006 (in manual) but have been driving an automatic car until 1 month ago when I got a new car. At first I was slowly remembering all the little things like the handbrake and changing down gears but now I just do it without thinking.
I'm fucked.

No. It is the funniest single episode of television ever recorded.

Freaked me out at first too. I remember panicking before the first lesson, thinking the instructor would expect me to know everything for some reason. Spent most of the lesson looking at the different parts of the car, cockpit drill, mirrors, blind spot etc, then at the end, he drove with his dual controls, and I just steered down an empty road.
You get used to everything though, like anything it is practice. Saying that, I managed to fail my first two practical tests.

Hi fellow UK-Gaffers.
Got a random question for you - do any of you know a really good canvas art site with a nice range of music and movie related prints for sale?
I've been in my place for about five years now - havent thought about hanging anything up until now.
Cheers
Not online, but most shopping malls have something fitting this description in these days. There's a pretty good one in Westfield Stratford, it's usually the same old pictures from films and stuff, but they're normally not badly priced. I got a few Star Wars pics a couple of months back.

There was an awesome, tiny shop in the centre of town that sold canvas art. Music and movie stuff, in a kind of pop art-y style. You could even have things made for you.
I shut a couple of years ago

I bought from http://www.hellocanvas.co.uk/home before. I don't think you can buy designs from them, but I'd bet they'd print anything you send them onto a canvas.

I find it harder to drive the way they teach you, over the way I'm used to. One hand on the wheel, left hand resting on stick.
There's a reason they don't teach you to do that

Oh man I love Harvester. There's one a minute walk from my house and we pop up there if we can't be bothered to cook and fancy a treat. It's a really decent price, the food is good, and as much free salad as you want. What's not to love?
It takes two hands to make an incredibly sharp turn. If your hand is on the gear stick, you're increasing the time between you seeing a danger and you turning the car.

Sharp turns? Pff. If you're not getting from your starting point to the destination in one continuous drift, you're not really driving.

As undoubtedly the best driver in this topic, it's my duty to inform you that left hand resting on the gear stick / right hand on the wheel is the only way to do it. This PSA is over.
So I can no longer not reply out of sheer laziness? Damn.

When you send someone a message. If the person sees it, it says "seen at 14.02" or whatever next to the message. I think I'll turn it off if I can. I prefer not knowing.
That is so fucking stalkerish. As if fb wasn't bad enough for facilitating that kind of thing.

Oh, I was referring to learning to drive in my 20s or whatever. Once I'm done with uni (and employed) I'm gonna get on top of that, seeing as it'll probably be a useless skill at that point.
YOU CHECKED THIS MESSAGE 16 SECONDS AGO, WHY HAVEN'T YOU REPLIED?!?!
I THOT YOU LOVED ME

Yeah. I was discussing it with a friend and we couldn't really come up with a positive reason for it. The only thing it's going to do is start arguments.

It's easy once you know how. I passed my test in 2007 and my motorcycle test in 2009. I currently own and drive both. I think everybody who drives a car should be forced to take motorcycle lessons (not really). They're quite the eye opener and give people an incite as to what it's like to be on a bike, certainly makes you a better more careful car driver.

One of the perks!
When/where did you get to sit in that Sauber?

That's Juan Mata of Chelsea FC. I picked the avatar cause he looks so pleased with himself :lol.

Well you must know plenty about F1, how did you tell it was a Sauber from that small bit you could see?

Completely forgot I did this a few years back, but its awesome that they still run it. Kinda a waste of tax-payer money, but if they're offering it I might as well take advantage of it.
