It really was a horrible experience........I will stick to Cirencester in future!

Ah, lucky you!  Westbound or Eastbound carriageway?

How did that happen?  Oh well... my answer is above!

Ah, Somerset, I try to avoid that county!  Frome and Bruton are nice though.

Well, here is the rub. i have a gorgeous scooter, it's a125cc bike, and has got a good amount of acceleration for a scoot! I got my CBT (compulsary basic training certificate) just 2 months ago, but because I am on the wrong side of 30, a mum, and thereore a girl.........I am cautious, sensible, and eager to do things right.... I couldn't put it off any longer I HAD to go into Swindon today.........on Bertie (the bike) it's I dunno, 5 miles............there, and 5 miles back. Swindon for those of you who havn't had the pleasure, must have had too much road maintenance budget at some point, and therefore splurged the lot on roundabouts and traffic lights.............it is VERY easy to get lost. I attempted this trip last week..........three times around the labyrinth of one way system and I gave up and came home............today I was determined! so ...........here it comes.......... why, why, why do (car) drivers feel the need to beep their horns so much? I got beeped about SIX times, I was lost and I went over the "magic roundabout" 3 times!......I could NOT get into the town centre at all! I didn't switch lanes at all, do car drivers get some kind of perverse joy out of turning a girl on a scooter into a nervous wreck??? The last beep (accompanied by hand gestures and swearing) was due to me being in the wrong lane at a roundabout (I think!) but it was a small roundabout, and we were the only two vehicles on it.........so I didn't think beeping/swearing etc was really necessary! (I thought I was going to throw up in my crash helmet I was so scared!) and yes his car was bedecked in LOTS of England flags.......... Next time you are out in your cars folks remember "L" plates mean we are LEARNING........remember we slow down in the wet, and on sharp blind corners....remember we havn't got 'walls' but we have got feelings! A 10 mile round trip................TWO HOURS!!! shheeesh! I need a lay down! ^ha ha ha @ Geck0...........I did a similar thing recently! stoopid blinkin screensaver!!!!

Thanks for this PC, that reminds me of when I went with my parents to check out Coventry uni last March, the bloody one-way system is an absolute nightmare, mainly because the signs are posted halfway down the damn slip roads so by the time you know witch exit to take your already half way past it.

Now that takes the p!ss, I wouldnt trust any student witha suppercar as there first car.

My brother:

Reason... he didn't like White Willow.

Now to my ears, White Willow are quite chilled and folk-based and well, I really enjoyed it, but he didn't.  It seems he doesn't like any remotely loud music!  Then my mother had to side with him, grrr!

Serves me right playing music on the stereo.  I listen to everything on my computer through headphones now.

More annoying though, is the fact that WinAMP keeps on crashing on me everytime I play a CD, it's getting very annoying!  It goes back to a previous album's playlist (in this case, Queens of the Stone Age) and I have no idea why.  It's very annoying!

Whenever someone (usually dozens or thousands) of people say to Bush directly or to a news agency that relates their message to Bush that they hate him, his administration, his policies, and how he is oblivious to other peoples' concerns, he just says, "Isn't it great that these people have the freedom to say that? It's because we live in a democracy." Nice one, Bush!  Maybe next time, instead of using other peoples' valid complaints about you as a way of bolstering your lost causes, try and ponder why so many people in this country hate you you oblivious, ignorant, sheltered, piss-poor excuse of a tolorable human being. Pull your head out of your arse and maybe then you'll realize that just because a little under half of the USA wants you to be president (and God knows how you manipulated those poor, impressionable people with your scare tactics and intimidation), it doesbn't mean sh*t when 98% of the world hates your guts.
