FYP. Also Anyway, Kev, I swear it wasn't me. Those webcam stills will remain our little secret.

I love Clios too, but I wouldn't expect to be able to impress Jordan in one. Or fit her in one, for that matter.

I could go straight for Victoria Coren. As long as we didn't have to have sex or anything. She'd be the poifect wife though.

Fucking hell Then again, I had parental bankrolling on the condition that I'd be at their beck and call to pick them up after getting sloshed on sloe gin somewhere in Tyneside most nights of the week, so that might help to explain it.

For what it's worth, I took things really slowly, did about 35 lessons over nine months or so, and passed first time. Would have been cheaper to take 10 lessons each test and still fail two of them, but hey.

Best thing was to get on your mam or Dads policy, then trade your no claims over with you when you pass 24 (I think) as that's when the cost drops dramatically. Aye, I'd have done the same if I hadn't gone to university and seen them flog the aforementioned Clio while I was away during first term. Still bitter.

Aye, nowt much you can do about insurance when you're a "young driver" unfortunately, short of grin and bear it and hope you don't get in any prangs in the meantime.

Mind, I drove everywhere after I passed my test. Even down to the corner shop to get the paper, at least if my parents weren't around and I could get my hands on the car. Apparently the novelty does take a while to wear off...

Probably as good as any "learner's" car really. You want something compact and easy to zip around in since you're not exactly going to be burning it up on the motorways anyway. As for driving itself, I've done it a grand total of once in the last 10 years or so (a hire car when we moved house last year). Didn't crash or anything, though kept forgetting to change down to first at red lights. Anyway, I really enjoy driving, though I'm sure I'd get bored of it if I had to do it for a living - just never really had cause to, between Germany and London you're not exactly short of public transport.

What does that have to do with buying a car It's just that a Clio is a Hairdresser's car mate I learned to drive in a Clio. Nuff said.

Gets a rough deal, but I really don't mind Windows Media Player. Does what I want from a cataloguing perspective, at least, which is important when you've got as much shit music as me.

21 million, mind. Fuck me, life was rubbish back then.

It'd probably bounce off. Face like a leisure centre floor.

My mood was fine until I read Geordieracer's post.

I guarantee it did - there was a sense of "these people don't need our help". Plus there was the slight aroma of ludicrousness emanating from the "NewcastleGateshead" brand.

Such bastions of culture, I mean what an achievement beating a city like Birmingham famous for it's Bullring Shopping Centre (which has no bulls), Britain's biggest civilian nuclear bunker and ermm the www.birminghamitsnotshit.co.uk website (this is a real website, no really it is). Aye, it's called sarcasm and self-awareness. It's true mind, the competition wasn't exactly mind-bending. They actually have adverts on the Tube for visiting Birmingham with the tagline "Shortlisted for UK City of Culture" as if that doesn't sound incredibly desperate.

How would you know?

Oh Alex. And I made your bolognese sauce last night and everything. Enough of the euphemisms already. Well I did stir in a spoonful of pesto for a change. Swapped the quorn for sausage meat? I saw some word beginning with "q" in the original recipe and figured it must just be a typo for "mince".

Ghey
