It could be a B12 or Iron deficiency, although that's just for the gruaig problem. (and I doubt it because I tear into red meat and take B12).

It could also be just one of those things.

I LOVE meat. And I was on B12. And I lost most of my hair, twice. B12 injections are awesome:D

You’re lost in the city and you need to get back to your hotel. What 5 resources could you use to find your way back?

I assume they're not looking for 'take out google maps on my phone'

in german today we had "you've just lost your key, what would you do?" and a picture of a confused fellow in some place
they had a bar and a lady so you know what my suggestion was :pac:
that and ask the dog "did you eat my key?"

i think i wouldn't do too well on your form

That's what I'd say.

Wouldn't need the other 4 resources then. Efficient, that is

RacoonQueen

Obviously it's a test to see how you solve problems, but really, all I'd do is take out google maps and ask someone look around and see if I recognise any landmarks

Is it a trick? Do they want simple answers? :pac:

Edit: I've put in map/gps on smartphone, because that IS what I'd do. I've also put in bus/train maps or timetables to help me find where I am and identify what direction I need to go in or if I can use public transport to bring me back or part of the way back.

3 more. Come on loungers.

For srs???


For the laugh you should put ''resign myself to the fact that I am lost and I will have to feed off rock slime and die alone''

google maps: good with tech
ask someone: good with communication

bla bla

i guess??

Does asking someone count as a resource? Is the person you ask the resource? This is a load of sh*t, I hate this sh*t. I know there are reasons why they do this crap, but seriously...

I'd imagine so. Maybe put that mid-way down, in case they'd see it as meaning you'd go and ask someone before trying anything else if you had an issue with something. I'd definitely put it down though, if it were me.

RacoonQueen

Cool, I might specify that I see the person as a resource. I'm not actually sure how much information they want. Do they want one line answers or full blown explanations. I suppose they don't specify for a reason to see how you think. This is what gets you all confuzzled though trying to know if you answered it 'right'

Thinking if giving this a shot, looks like fun...

Do you have to have your theory passed before you can take driving lessons?

McChubbin

Part of me wants to learn how to drive but the other parts are saying no. I'd be havoc on the roads with my short attention span and low tolerence for bull****.

Hmmm.. Yeah you'd probably guess correctly. :rolleyes: I think I'll get a few lessons when I move. Don't know if anybody would do a special rate for a poor (soon to be I hope) student like me...

Would actually be great not to be relying on buses and trains..

Don't forget to bring your bike to Athlone. The town's well small enough that you can get everywhere by bike and there's all that free exercise too.

Got a puncture today and so many people have called in to work sick. ARGH!

Google maps - one resource - tech
Asking someone - good awareness of locals - another resource.
Use of taxis - same
Tourist office - another means.
Signs/street signs/maps/public transport graphics, another

Flexibility, so they can say there are no passersby, you've no signal, there is no tourist office, no street maps, no signs, i.e. think of situations where you are up against it.

Last resort, have a map on you with the hotel location marked on it, and traverse by foot.

Do it, amazing freedom and incredible for teaching you tolerance/patience, and showing you just how tolerant and patient other drivers can be.

IN other news, I'd second interview from that one I'd a few weeks ago, I'm also knackered and cranky

Anyone who is thinking of learning to drive and do not have their provisional licence already, there are proposals to change the system again next year and have another tier in the learning to drive process. It is almost 100% certain to go ahead for motorbikes so it's only a matter of time before it is brought in for other vehicles. If you don't have your provisional already I'd highly recommend you get the few quid together now and get it. To get your provisional all you have to do is sit and pass the theory test and then you can undertake the rest of the learning to drive process at your leisure. The recent introduction of CBT/IBT has made it very expensive for learner drivers starting out so I can imagine that an additional tier to this system will only serve to increase the costs.

In Stansted now, finally Passed a load of people wearing Olympics ID badges, well jealous of them, half regretting the fact that I never applied to be a volunteer, since it would have probably cost me an arm and a leg to be here during it! Second best thing is to be in frotn of the tele for the whole thing!? In my shorts and tshirt atm, airport is fairly warm, hope Cork is decent in the morning!! Have to get a bus, train and taxi home, brother is working so can't pick me up
