    lol I was going to ask if it was you, but I'm shy:D
    Nice to meet you, I'll talk properly next time:D

    :D I can't give out - I had the fear. Randomly asking customers "excuse me, do I know you from the internet? I saw your picture...." is a good way to have them turn into gibbering wrecks ^_^

    Actually that might be a lot of fun. I've had a number of customers over the years that I'd love to break......

    Yep, have heard of quite a few failing it.

    Not to brag but 40/40 here.... it's my #1 chat-up line!

    "You do realize I got 40 / 40 in my Driver Theory Test?" - the ladies swoon at my feet. The rohypnol helps!

    Its the abstract pencil drawings of a Guard waving his badly broken arms about that's throwing me. How the f*ck do I know what hes trying to tell me? He needs an ambulance? Hes suing the surgeon who sewed his arm back on the wrong way round? Hes double-jointed? His pension levy caused him to break his own arm in protest?

    which way/direction is he throwing them sue, could be be directing traffic from behind him or is he just trying to avoid the abuse being directed at him

    I say we ban tractors! Have you applied again so that you can do it quick or do you have to wait a certain time.
    Chin up!

    Aww. Thanks all. More study, less polishing I guess.

    I'll check the site now and see when the next free date is, I had to take this one so early because the next free date was the end of April, but hopefully I'll get a cancellation before then.

    I got a load of odd questions that I hadn't seen so I knew in there I was in trouble. Is a tractor traveling at high speed more likely to topple over going up or down a steep hill? WTF??

    I failed by one question and I blame the tractor.

    Thanks again. The cab drivers of Sligo can breathe a sigh of relief!

    I didn't see this at all at the time Sue, sorry to hear you didn't pass (only by one question!!)

    At the time I even thought the theory test cost 100 euro. Don't know what gave me that idea.


    anyway, now I know it's around 35 or so because I booked mine last night. Thursday 12 March, here I come!
