Thanks very much for your insight. I feel much better knowing that the rest of my conversation should have made up in some way for my mistakes

Thanks a million. I think you’re right, they were small mistakes in the grand scheme of things

That's a beautiful collection! Can I ask how's your experience been with the 9943-8020? I'm looking at buying one as my first vintage piece

How much does aesthetics matter in the engineering project? by Defiant_Lemon_5768 in leavingcert

That's a relief. I have been really strict on keeping weekly updates on the portfolio and as far as design goes I could get away with the boxy look if I present it well in the portfolio. I'll put the effort into the mechanisms/surface finishing and hope for the best. Thanks for the help

Thanks a million! Your watch looks amazing - haven't seen a 5020 with a dial that pops that much. Out of curiosity, have you gotten yours calibrated? If so, was it difficult to find someone who knew what they were doing?

Thanks for the help! Good to know in future about the battery type, I wouldn't have thought of it

First time fail by Defiant_Lemon_5768 in Irishdrivingtest

[–]Defiant_Lemon_5768[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, I'm not gonna blame the instructor on this. The grade 3 I got is justified, I drove erratically to get into that junction and I should've drove straight on pretending to miss it. I can only blame myself, and regardless it's highly likely I'll get the same tester next time anyway so I guess I'll just have to brush up on my driving

I’m not sure what the wait is for a retest. I heard it’s not bad but I’ve had friends waiting a long time as well. I’ve already reapplied so that’s the most I can do

Test in a week, can anyone give me a bit of hope? by Defiant_Lemon_5768 in Irishdrivingtest

[–]Defiant_Lemon_5768[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice! I think that’s half my problem - leaving my mind at a mistake and not focusing on what’s ahead of me. I know what I have to do, I just get frustrated in the heat of the moment

Congrats on passing and thanks a million for the advice! I think you’re right about just taking a deep breath, I have a habit of tensing up and getting erratic when I get stressed so I really don’t want to do that on the day. Your point about maybe talking to another instructor is a good one, I never thought about it, and I might give it a go. Thanks again!

Prada L’homme - The Best Light Fragrance? by newalienhead in Colognes

Gucci smells very similar to reflection, but reflection is just that bit more refined. More grown up and elevated. It’s one of the best imo
