And bad new Suariyu, it's surprisingly shitty when a pet's taken from you, didn't quite understand it until we had to have our cat put down.

Good morning GAF!

It's another beautiful day outside, we're nearly half way to the weekend, and then I'll only have another week in this shithole! Yay!

So, what's going on with the rest of UK Gaf today? Anything exciting happening?

I'm sitting in ball soup in my office today. Yay summer! >:( Been super busy already, so I'm looking forward to the day calming down now... yeah, as if!

Super hyped for this weekend though, I've earned it. Get my first big paycheck through this weekend, so it will be fun to spunk it on a new suit and getting my heating fixed (radiators come on when I put the hot water on. Not good in summer at all!)

Also, it's easy and fast to stick an extra hand on the wheel if need be.

It will all come to you eventually.

Good luck.

Well I have my second lesson later on today, so hopefully I'll feel like I'm making some progress.

I can't wait to come to terms with certain things in a car, I just hope my instructor doesn't tell me to do anything too crazy for a while.

Edit: Sorry to hear about your dog Suairyu. :(

Sorry about your dog Suairyu!
Another lovely day but I must carry on with uni work sadly. Just tried to do student finance, and their awful service is down. I see nothing ever changes with them.

@Xun- trust me you'll be fine. You'll be missing the lessons once you've passed your test. There is a lot to learn at first, but once you've covered it all you can step back and see how it all fits together.

I have to get in contact with them as well since they don't seem to be taking any money off of me. Might just have to gather a lump sum and throw it their way in order to keep the interest down.

I think you've got the right idea there Kent, it certainly is BBQ weather! Might have to sort the balcony out, probably do one on Sunday.

So, I don't wanna get too excited or anything, but check out who isn't a junior anymore!

Snezz or Super Nintendo.

Although, I pronounces the NES as EN-EE-ES. I never call it the Nintendo Entertainment System unless I'm trying to deliberately sound like an intellectual knob.

I always called it super nes because it annoyed me the way one of the presenters on the ITV video game show Bad Influence pronounced 'snezzz'

SNES bitches, that's how it was spelt. I'm English not Irish, the letters are a guide to pronounciation, not something to ignored willy nilly.

Get a few friends and drive to a great Beauty spot for it, we choose a local fishing spot one the the guys in our travel part knew about. The Campfire is the highlight to any outings to nature. Nice awesome big river bend with a huge grassy banking tucked away from the civilised world.

Oh, and it's totally Snezz.
