I can confirm that test centres do not have pass quotas. http://cars.uk.msn.com/features/learning-to-drive/images.aspx?cp-documentid=157314752#image=1 The idea that test centres have pass quotas is, in my opinion, ludicrous. Because 'Mike' says so?  Mike also said the chocolate ration had gone...

Try not to fail before you've left the test center like I did on my first attempt though

That happened to a friend of mine. Someone pulled out in front of him or something and he had to slam on the brakes. Got a major straight away and failed.

Thanks for the replies so far.

Pretty much what the title says... I got some money for my 21st and want to learn to drive over the summer. I've never driven at all before and getting lessons from my Dad probably isn't the way to go (I have flashbacks of learning to ride a bike) so how many did you need...just to get an idea. Also...

Hmmm...interesting. I'm not sure about conspiracy theories but I would never underestimate how disgustingly selfish those who seek power and money in huge quantities can be. If that means killing a few thousand citizens, and a few hundred thousand foreigners, so be it. I think there are people like ...

Sorry, it was a bit grim. The deletion is fair enough.

My hidden talent is my excellent taste in everything (except clothes - I have no clue). For some reason no-one seems to be able to tell...

There is a T-Rex skeleton in the geology department at Leicester University. It's only a teenager, but still pretty cool.


Three dinosaurs and a Tyrannosaur

The name of this almost-mighty beast?

JANE

Honestly!

Yeah, probably...

All of those are photographs of real dinosaurs, btw. I took them on safari.

Are awesome... http://cdn2.iofferphoto.com/img/item/149/475/141/xJhOfQdO0IpD8om.jpg http://bucultureshock.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/Dino2.jpg http://images2.fanpop.com/images/photos/6300000/The-Flintstones-Dino-the-flintstones-6386240-500-582.jpg Discuss!

Is there a cash prize?

If you take the first letters of 'All The Way To The Top' you get an anagram of 'TWATTT'.

Just paid the balance on a weekend in Amsterdam! Gonna be a good time!

I agree with Ritadz that the next manager should be English. Not that I care much for Soccerball 3000 as it is but if it is a national team, everyone on the team should be from the nation in question right? It is ridiculous! I understand club football has just become about the money and that players...

Just saw this episode of The Big Bang Theory and thought this was a good line. Sheldon is arguing why buying gifts for someone's birthday is pointless as it just goes back and forth until one dies and the other is left $50 (the price of one gift) in profit. Howard tells Penny to tell him it is a &qu...

Let's look at this objectively: You're 12. Being 12, you have no important exams in the near future. Having no exams, you won't miss anything that will impact with any severity upon your life. You say going to Germany + Theme Parks is a lot of money for your family. This price will rise considerably...

I thought I was feeling better after Christmas. Well, I did for a few days. I only felt a bit sad for a few days, which was so lovely, and I kinda hoped something had magically changed. Then I just seemed to plummet back to where I always am. The same as ever. What point does it dawn on you that it...

The EDL are in Leicester today. I really hate them.

Also, the police horses they require to keep them in their cage poop all over the streets.

Queasy and hungover-y

But since that will never happen; what is the criteria?

I think its quite an easy way to decide... but thats just me being cynical.

Explain it.

In detail.

Who should live and who should die?
