It has been a fantastic weekend so far for me, so I thought I would rip off KC's rubbish, pointless feature (if she still does it, I never listen to her anymore) - "How has your weekend been so far?"

1. I went to my works Christmas party last night at Oceana in Milton Keynes Snowdome and got off with the gorgeous girl I have fancied for bloody ages.

2. She came back to my place, as we could only get one cab from Central Milton Keynes, so we ordered one from my house.

3. The cab took two hours to get there (the only time I have ever wanted the cab to take ages!)

4. We fell asleep curled up on the sofa together waiting for it.

5. Totally unrelated - I passed my theory today - third time lucky - 35/35, 57/75 for the new hazard perseption test (which is nothing to worry about, for anyone who is going for their theory soon.)

moral of the story - he didnt get a shag even though she was drunk as a skunk

[MK Chris]

Watch it! I was very nice about it, IO didn't want to take advantage of her...

[Everlast]

She was asleep dude! perfect chance.

[Bridgie]

well done for passing your theory. i passed mine second time but luckily i did it before the hazard thing. i passed my practical about 3 weeks ago too .

what i did yesterday - went paintballing for the first time and it was amazing. so much fun.

[Gigglyboots]

Congratulations...aw come on he did the nice thing not to take advantage!

I have always wanted to do that, but I don't think you can do that up here, well it was for a while, but it looks sooo great.

What, get drunk and curl up with a good looking girl on a couch? I know good looking girls are hard to come by up here but I am sure you could find one!

Or was it paintballing?

[Sam]

Whats the Hazard test? I'm about to learn to drive (so if I was you I wouldn't come near Wolverhampton anytime soon) and no-one told me about any Hazard test. Congratulations on passing by the way!

[Gigglyboots]

Hahahaha David, think your so funny!

I was referring to paintballing.

[Bridgie]

as well as needing to answer 30/35 correctly on your normal theory test, you now have to complete a hazard perception test too, just to make sure people are aware of the risks around them when driving. i don't know all about it though because i passed mine just before they added it.

[Funky Drummer]

I didn't do it either, but I think (so correct me if I'm wrong, which I'm sure you would have done anyway ) that they stick you down in front of a video which shows is just a short film of someone driving along (from the driver's point of view) and you have to press a button or something when you see a hazard, and then explain why you pressed the button, what the hazard was, etc.

[Sam]

eeek, I don't like the sound of that.

[magenta]

Nah you just click the mouse every time you see the hazard I think, but if you just sit clicking the mouse constantly you score 0.

[Funky Drummer]

Do you have to explain to an examiner why you clicked the mouse or anything magenta?

[magenta]

I don't think so, they wouldn't bother doing something like this I'd imagine, who could be arsed with that? I did it before hazard perception tho.

[Sidders]

We had our flat Christmas party on Thursday night. We played pass the parcel and I got 2 forfeits - to wear a bra all night and to eat 4 cold sprouts. That nearly made me sick. Kevin had to go and plant a kiss on the security guard!!
Talking about girls you have fancied for ages, I found out yesterday that the gorgous girl in my flat who I fancy the arse off speaks very highly of me. If I wasn't so shy I might stand a chance. Shame.

Oh and talking of theory tests, I scraped through with 30/35.

[Eddie]

I took mine in septemeber 1997 so about 5 years ago, I was one of the first to have to do it and it was on paper then, none of this hi-tech computer stuff. Luckily, somehow, I got 34 out of 35

[Jonny Hoare]

I took mine before you got a score. All you had to get was 30. Passed that fcuker first time.

[bob_fleming]

i used to work for the call centre that took the booking for the theory test, what a crap job!!!



i luckerly didn't have to take one!! yeay!!

Basically, the hazard perception is this:

You watch 14 clips being on the road, bit like watching an in-car camera on a police stop! video. There are 15 hazards, which means at least one clip has more than one hazard on it.

You have to click (left or right mouse button, doesn't matter) whenever you see a developing hazard.

This has to be a moving hazard, as hazards are classed as anything that makes you change direction or speed (static hazards include roundabouts - of which there are a lot here in MK, junctions and hills, you need the moving ones.)

You do score 0 for a particular clip if you click non-stop, however, just click anytime you see a hazard, i did, sometimes I got about 6 or 7 hazards per clip, just to make sure - good luck if you're having it soon. Sam - ask your instructor, and good luck with the lessons!

[magenta]

The people you ring up to book your test seem so simple, would that be correct bob?! You excused I'm sure, but they all sound like weirdos with no mates.

[bob_fleming]

i used to work for them about 6 years ago, it was a shit job but a laugh, i don't know about now!! i think the company that i worked for lost the contract about 4 or 5 years ago after i left so i am not sure!

I fortunatley am not simple, as i had a speak and spell when i was younger!! and have a reasonable number of mates (not condoms either!!)


cheers

[MK Chris]

Update... I was told at work today that apparently she only got off with about 10 blokes that night!

However, out of those 10 (and I reckon I was at least 5 of those by myself) she only came back to my house.... I can dream, huh?
