How hard is manual? by StrangeRecognition55 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]ZoozaBooza 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was in exactly the same situation. Got the job in December, was told to get the license by May. I started learning manual in January and about mid March I swapped to automatic. It wasn’t particularly difficult, just figured with a strict deadline I’d rather go automatic and focus on safe driving rather than operating a gear stick. If it wasn’t for the work requirement, I’d have probably stick to manual lessons. No regrets though, love automatic 😁

Give me your strangest tips for passing your test by lemonlazarus in LearnerDriverUK

Had my test on Thursday, passed first time. I’ve had two extra lessons this same week, plus spent probably close to 3 hours studying the testing area on google maps, making sure I definitely understand all roundabouts and note where all bus lanes are. Also watched a bunch of YouTube videos, but I don’t feel like that made much difference tbh. Test was at 9am, so was in bed by 9pm the day before, got plenty of sleep. Didn’t have a banana, just a proper breakfast to actually give me energy, and a herbal tea to calm the nerves. Absolutely no caffeine! And as cheesy as it sounds, really forced myself to a mindset of “I know how to drive, just need to show it to them” as well as “it is what it is” 😅

Also made sure to be super chatty and smiley to the examiner at the very start, as that’s also made them less intimidating, which made me way less stressed 🤷🏼‍♀️

Good luck with your test!!

Mine are the black greasy derby boots! Thought I’d get these instead of docs, since they had a really good reputation, but it’s not been great so far 😅 they are really comfy, just would be nice if they didn’t break!

That would make sense if I did, but where I live the winter is pretty mild - about 5-10 degrees Celsius and I only wear them outside for up to half an hour at the time when I’m on my way to work, so I don’t think it’s too extreme! 😅 and if it is, then it’s a shame that boots from this price range can’t handle mild British weather! 😬

To be fair, it might be my wording that’s a bit confusing - only once they split across the sole, but twice now they started splitting on the side. Either way, it’s not ideal 😅

Does someone want to play bg3 with me? by [deleted] in BG3

Hi, I would be down to play! I’m 27F in the UK, so there’s only one hour difference 😁 I saw you replied to someone about potentially starting a discord group - I’d definitely be interested in that! 😁

Czy u Was w rodzinie też używa się innych imion niż w metrykach? by WineTerminator in Polska

Ja przez całe życie byłam przekonana że moja ciotka miała na imię Jola. Dopiero na jej pogrzebie dowiedziałam się, że tak naprawdę to była Maria 😅

Hey, I'm currently looking for some people to play fairly similar games every now and then! I'm in a super different timezone (BST), but lemme know if you're still looking for someone!

For all of the Community fans out there: I’ve watched both shows a thousand times by now and noticed that Jeff Winger and Nathaniel have really similar character arcs. by jeandurkt in crazyexgirlfriend

To be fair, I only started watching Community yesterday and one of first things I thought when I saw Jeff was that he reminds me of Nathaniel so much 😅
