Yeah, you need to do a minimum of 12 lessons. There's a booklet you need to get filled out where your instructor says you've covered everything to an acceptable standard, and it takes a minimum of 12 lessons.

Knew it was real! :pac:

Wanted to see how many it was but couldnt find any mention of it so I started wondering where I got the idea from.

Is their any minimum time limit or could you do the 12 lessons in 12 weeks?

No time limit, no. You could do all 12 in one day if you wanted.
How long do you have your provisional? If its the second one you dont need to show proof you completed the lessons.

I held a provisional licence for 5 years before I finally passed my test this year. Funnily enough, it was after not actually having a car for about a year that I managed to pass it.

I plan on doing it fairly soon. My average on the online test has gone from 35 to 38 so I'm confidant enough to do it now. I want to have it all done and dusted by next summer as I plan on moving to England and decided getting a cheap enough car and then the ferry to Hollyhead and driving the rest of the way would be better than flying due to the amount of stuff I'd want to bring with me. Don't fancy doing something like that on a provisional so am thinking ahead to make sure I don't leave it too late.

Think doing it in the one day might be a bit much! :pac:

Nike have announced a macho man shoe.

Nike have released a pair of Jordan Aero Flight “Macho Man” sneakers as shown below. The shoes pay homage to WWE legend “Macho Man” Randy Savage with a multicolored base that resembles many of the Savage's outfits.

Word of warning; as far as I know, it's changed now. I think it's an 80 question test now. I know the plan was to change it sometime but not 100% sure it's fully updated yet.

Off to Barcelona later this week, anything cool to see or do besides the obvious Nou Camp tour?

Angron · 25-09-2012 12:08PM

Only been to Barca once, and that was for a day :pac: Was on holiday in the south of France so we took a train down one day to visit it. We didn't get to see all that much of it, so I dunno what to suggest, maybe visit their cathedral or the Sagrada Familia that's been worked on since the 1850's or so.

Charisteas · 25-09-2012 12:19PM

Ah I thought the Sagrada Familia was the cathedral. Or did you mean Gaudi?

Angron · 25-09-2012 12:24PM

I meant this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barcelona_Cathedral

Cianan2 · 25-09-2012 09:39PM

Sagrada familia is amazing, a must see! If you get a chance go for a walkabout in Barceloneta, its about a ten minute walk from the end of las ramblas (the port end). Some lovely cafe's and restaurants there.

Theres also a cable car that goes over the port that is great (if its not too cold!!)

Get the bus tour around Barcelona. Really enjoyed it.

Watch out when you're on Las Ramblas. Full of pick pocketers during the day and full of prostitutes by night who will physically grab on to you and you have to push them away.

Stereomaniac · 25-09-2012 10:39PM

Saint Eulalia is amazing. But be sure to go there before you check out Las Ramblas or down beside the docks. Ha ha. I kinda did it backwards when I was there, so I was fairly off my rocker when I was taking in all of the pictures of the blessed Virgin. Nice city.

Anyone know what time Gamestops usually open at? Want to get Fifa on Friday as early as possible. Think it's 10 but not sure.

Also, anyone else playing Mists of Pandaria? Not sure if there's many (or any) WoWers on here :P

Anyone going out in Dublin for Arthurs Day tomorrow?

Anyone going out in Waterford for Arthur's Day tomorrow?

Bounty Hunter · 26-09-2012 05:50PM

Anyone going out today in shanghai for Arthur's day? no, ok

jaykhunter · 26-09-2012 06:00PM

Hmm, should probably grab a pint so! Boards.ie, best calendar for all the important events

on another note, went to go see Dredd 3D - if you're into action or comic-book films, go see it. It's gritty, and some nasty fight scenes. Great to see a new 18s action film again. Karl Urban aka Bones from Star Trek '09 is Dredd, and Olivia Thirlby (Leah from Juno) is in it, she's extremely cute in it.

starviewadams · 26-09-2012 06:00PM

Was planning on sinking a few after work pints in town tomorrow evening,had no idea it's Guinness marketing day again though.

Town will be packed with the same drunken idiots as paddys day as is,so I think I'll give it a miss.

Rjd2 · 26-09-2012 06:04PM

So I am not the only one who hates guinness? I like my booze but **** off Arthur. :mad:

CMpunked · 26-09-2012 06:24PM

You guys see premium rush yet? I think theres a subtle wrestling reference in it but none of my IRL rasslin buddies have seen it that i can ask.

KONY 2012 - When people who like memes got all spammy about some guy and forgot the next week.

Unreal. Disappointing in a way, but brilliant too. SOA has definitely redeemed itself after it's 3rd season where I nearly stopped watching it.
