    Bugger.

    The bugger failed me for signaling left before a roundabout, when he wanted me to take the second exit.

    BUT

    The first ‘exit’ is to a school which has very large NO ENTRY signs on it and a PADLOCKED gate!!
    Apparently it could have been a danger to the car that was approaching, despite the fact that HE was signaling left (i.e to carry on around the road) and was all of 100 metres away.

    Im insenced at this- but theres no point in appealing because it can’t overturn the decision. Otherwise I got 9 minors.

    Sheer stupidity.

    Bugger all.

    And I woudn’t have it any other way- that way its MY car, and if my dad gets annoyed with me (for oh so many reasons) he can’t say that part of it’s his so i cant drive it- like he did with my first bike. Everything about my major possessions I have paid for myself. TV- Stereo – Laptop stuff – motorcycles and now my car as well. It taught me to respect money and how much work you have to do to get what you want.

    I’ve got my practical test tomorrow- at 3.27. So if you’re feeling bored- have a minutes silence for poor old me trying to remember how the hell to parallel park. Im good at the driving part- my instructor thought that i’d been illegally driving for years!! Only had 10 lessons and now i have my test. Im feeling confident though- im learning in a Clio Diesel and its a really nice car, with amazing rear view capacity. I just hope i pass- because i’m off to Oxford Brookes University the next day (Sunday)! Ill let you all know how i get on.

    I was gonna put that in pal, but it sounded so cliche-ed (pardon the spelling/pronounciation but iv just got back from the pub…) But seriously- one time we ran out from the changing room and my mate mark said exactly that…

    “I love the smell of deep heat in the morning”

    How we laughed… especially when we pinned him down and administered a liberal coating of it to every availible part of him… He ached for DAYS.

    Generally i wake at 7- do 200 sit ups and go for a 5 mile jog. Im also in training with Pontypool RFC and Wales Under 21’s rugby three times a week. That lot plus my job as a shelf stacker… i mean Customer Services Assistant in Somerfield (lots of nice lifting and carrying for me) i get pretty much all the exercise i need. Im the fittest i have ever been and i love the feeling of satisfaction when you finally stop after training- the sweat stinging your eyes, the legs feeling like lead, the chest burning with every intake of breath. The smell of Deep Heat and the pain of tearing off the thigh straps (damn insulation tape). Thats when you think: “Damn, i must be doing something right”. Its exhilerating to be that knackered.

    Also watching ‘Battle of Britain’ as well, i love it when the Heinkel 111 crashes into the sea and the battle of britain music starts up with the Spitfires flying about, magic!

    It is simply not possible for me to agree with you more on that.
