ah I see. Not being funny but I think it is more natural and less mind-consuming to use your left hand to change gear.
Think about it: the clutch pedal is on the left. So if you use the right hand to change gear (aka LHD), you're using both sides of your brain, but if you use your left hand to change gear (aka RHD), you only use 1 side. Since driving is apparently one of the most mentally demanding things there is, anything that helps has to be a bonus.
Roundabouts are great, they're tricky to those not used to them, but they (supposedly) keep the traffic flowing. The idea is that if no one is blocking your path, you can go. With lights, even if nobody is there, you still have to wait if it's red.
I guess it's all what you are used to. I really like driving a manual and have no trouble.
automatics are okay if you're feeling lazy but manuals are more "pure" :)
Hi there everyone.
hellooooo
Hi there :p
Morning :schleepy: :rolleyes:
Hello :o
I've done it again, i've got realy bad insomnia :( I'm exhausted.
I'm covering the office with flem :cool:
Been on the tiles all night?
a night out? I wish! I was up all night reading, cos i've got insomnia :( Stress i think it is, but i don't think i can cope with much more if this, i'm going insane
My wife has insomnia at the moment - she's on Nytol but it doesn't work
/slips on BG's snot
urrggggg....
eurgh :p
I find a good cure for insomnia is 5 pints of cider :p
No, seriously I have trouble sleeping sometimes, it's always because there are too many thoughts running around in my head. Don't go to bed until you're tired and just try to stop thinking, it might take a while but it works for me.
lol, thanks bonker, but i can't drink alcohol :( makes me v ill, if i'm lucky i can have a drop of wine at xmas, but thats it:(
The solution to that is Yoga. It clears your mind of crap and make you feel calm and collected. I has a similar effect to a joint, without being stoned...Quote:

Just had this wicked image flick thru my head of your Avatar character in a pink leotard standing on yer 'ed chanting "Breath in......and Out...."...I know, sick, amusing & but I'm still bored....
oh, its minus 4 outside here today....:rolleyes:
heheheh,
well I tried to change the avatar a while ago, but there was a protest thread started, so I had to reinstate it.
I now have half of the VB programmers in christendom thinking I look like this... :rolleyes:
Did you check out memepool?

Huh, got a quick squint at the title page but got dragged into the most boring meeting on earth hosted by the most inept & boring Project Manager (Now, there's a laugh) on earth....
Morning all. Quick I need someone to cheer me up. Anyone (*Gaffer*) got any bad jokes??:(
Poor katie!! :)
A man walked into the doctors, he said "I've hurt my arm in several
places"
The doctor said "well don't go there any more"
:rolleyes:
Thanks Gaffer! That was certainly a bad joke!
I got up this morining and found out that my cars had been broken into. They took Travis' skateboard, his tools, the kid's diskman but more importantly they took ALL MY CD's!!!!!!! I had two folders worth (around 50) plus a few that were in jewel cases in my center console. The SPs said that they had had ten calls in the past 48 hours about the same thing!!!! ****, ****, ****!!!!!!!!!!:( Some of the music I got for Christmas and hadn't listened to more than twice. There wasn't any damage to the cars that can't be fixed though so I guess that's a bright side.:( :)
Poor you!!!!! :( That is an awful thing to confront in the morning :mad:
(mind you, I had a few dodgy things to confront in the morning when I was a student.......aaaaanyway... :rolleyes: )
But in the whole grand scheme of things, it could be worse. In London recently a girl got shot in the head by a guy that stole her cell phone. Another 15 year old girl got raped on Xmas Eve after she climbed nito an unlicenced mini cab...
All the stores sell Jefferson Airplane CDs now... ;)
It funny you should say that because we were saying that at leat 50% of what they stole they would probably never have heard of. I realize in the grand scheme of things its not important but it still just pisses me off!!!!!!! GRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!Quote:

When thing like that happen to me, especially in the morning, my day gets progressively worse.
For example:
I woke up one day last week, and managed to smash Mrs G's expensive vase on the floor. Bad start to the day.
Got to the front entrance at work, juggling 2 coffees. Put one coffee on top of the other in order to reach for my pass in my backpocket. Dropped the top cofee over the nice pine lobby floor, dropped the other over my new tie.
Had a hypoglycaemia a lunch.
Got blamed by a colleague for farting that afternoon. Wasn't till I got home that I realised I had dogshit on my shoe.
Making you feel better :)
Oh, OK then:
Two cannibals eating a clown. One says to the
other "Does this taste funny to you?"
Ok.....I checked my shoes, put a lid on my coffee and I'll make sure to eat lunch....thanks for the tip!
I like the jokes.........you are definitely the King!!!!!!!:D
Okay so I won't ask people how they are...might not be a good idea...
I'm getting progressively better............just sort of took the wind out of my sails this morning. I should be full of hot air any minute now! ;)
Moral of the story: never leave anything on show in a car, including doughnuts
One of my mates cars was broken into, and yes, all they stole was a packet of doughnuts.
Having said that I left a brand new computer sitting in the back seat of my car ealier today in Tescos car park for 30 mins...
Good good ;)
This was in my driveway at my house though. :(
nowhere is sacred unfortunately
Yep.......I have no doubt that the SPs will get them though.
So.........let's change the subject. How did you like Flori-duh?

flori-duh (some sort of reference to residents of Palm Beach?!) was good the first week, a bit crap the second week. We actually had to change the air con unit to keep it above 70 coz it was chilly.
The scenery around Manasota Key is beautiful, infact, I wouldn't mind living there (and being an Anglophile, that's really saying something). However it's a looooooooooong way to the hustle of Orlando, and I-75 is perhaps the most boring road ever.
North Fort Myers was pretty, but Ft Myers Beach was really...er...toy-towny.
oh, and traffic cops are arseholes.
All in all, not bad considering we lost all our passports at Tampa airport and spent a few days with no identity and no return tickets.
There is an awful lot of pretty scenery in the US....but no matter where you travel here the traffic cops are *******s.
I like California better though because it's not as humid and the natives are definitely more open-minded.:)
of course you are ;)
I was watching the Weather Channel on occasions (and you think we talk about nothing other than the weather!!) and California had a bit of a rough time of it. Some rain, only 50's. My ideal place in the world would be a constant 70s, and so far i've found Tenerife is about as close as you can get to that.
Yeah we have been having a bit of weather here lately. Right now though it's around 63 degrees.....but I do live in the desert so that's a little colder than I'd like.
evening all :)
it's amazing how one day can change your whole prospective on things :D
Hi Sweetie!:)
Hi Katie :)
A couple of agencies have rung me today who are interest in me for a couple of roles and I met an old friend on the train who I haven't seen for ages. he's quite high up in the company and they are currently looking for people, so I've sent my C.V to him and he's going to pass it on. so All in all things are looking alot better than yesterday :)
