Fuck Knows where my head was at today on my Driving Lesson, but at least managed to get around without any major fuck ups. Even did a hill start. Only went around the Headland and back, but that was by my request.

Said would never play Mass Effect again after I got 100% achievements on Legendary Edition and Andromeda. Well, I'm starting another playthrough of the Trilogy and Andromeda, because Fuck EA.

Fuck You EA! Mass Effect is one of my favourite games ever, you announce a new one, then say fuck it and kill a great studio and series. All so shareholders can make more money.

BREAKING: Electronic Arts is cutting 400 jobs and shutting down BioWare, the legendary development studio behind Dragon Age and Mass Effect. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

Someone needs to leak all the work done on Mass Effect 5, and DLC info/source from Mass Effect Andromeda, which was sent out to die because EA mandated Frostbite was used btw.

Had my Theory Test today; Passed the Multiple Choice 45/50 (42 is the passmark) Failed the Hazard Perception 41/75 (44 is the passmark) Will book another go for next week

The over-rev was me keeping the clutch down - Frack knows, foot didn't do what I wanted it to The stall was me pancaking because a neighbour let me out (even though was his priority) and I lifted the clutch too fast.

Went over Headland again, because 20mph all around and great for learning meeting situations - Then went over other side of town towards Clavering and back home via a 40mph road. Other than the mirror checks, the over rev and stalling at the last minute when pulling into my street, I did quite well

Fuck Sake Samsung. Am I not allowed to change the size of, or remove the google search bar on my homescreens now? or change the size of the icons on the inner screen on OneUI 9? Before anyone says, no holding it doesnt work like it used to.

Braking and Changing Gears a bit too early, only real problems I have when driving right now. Even the instructor said that comes with practice and experience.

We have "Berk in a Merc", but we don't have names for idiots in BMWs and Audi's, can't think of anything other than twats. (That's not to say there aren't idiots who drive other things, its just those 3 are usually the worst)

£170 on new glasses and there's something wrong with them. When I'm walking, it looks like there's always a small hill in front of me. Will need to take them back to Specsavers tomorrow and get them sorted.

Some people have no fucking clue how to drive. 1 idiot not indicating on a roundabout and another idiot stopping on a pedestrian crossing i was using.

The Spray version of The Highwayman is probably the best version of the song. This just elevates it.

The Highwayman - 20 years after the idea of Jenny duetting with Glen Campbell was planned we acquired the million dollar NASA tech to realise our forgotten dream.

Went for an actual, hour long drive over to the headland and back. Instructor originally wanted me to set off from home, except the kids would have screwed me over - Took him 5 mins to get into my street because of the teachers stopping traffic. Next lesson wont be at kids kicking out time LOL

This might change. I need something with rear electric windows, so can lock them out so sisters kids don't play with them. Clio's with rear electric windows over this way are about £6k+.

I've decided I'm getting a Renault Clio, 5 door, manual and petrol. Preferably with Medianav, so near anything from 2015 onwards. Now too wait till December, January or February.

If I got the same as my sister got for 2 science babies, I'd be able to get a 2023 Clio with all the toys, and still have enough to insure it for 2 years and tax it for 3. As it is, I probably need to fight to get an actual shitbox.

Second lesson in, and the instructor wanted me to drive to the industrial estate. I didn't because I didn’t feel that comfortable - BUT, next lesson, I might be ok to drive home. Didn't need to use the peddles once again and I was practically independent other than him saying which way to go.

I should stop looking at cars. I couldn’t get one till December at the earliest anyways, and even then I would only be using it 1 or 2 days a week until I pass my driving test, which is a while away yet by any measure.

Ugh, I might be turning into "One of thoes who complains to the council" Idiots going the wrong way down our street thats one way - Might need to email the council to fix the "No Entry" on the road, even if the main signs themself are fine. Not that anyone will take any notice of that either.
