    I was gonna go back to college but because i already hold a degree i'd have to pay my fees. Don't wanna be spending close to 10 grand a year for the next 4 years. Got accepted to Spanish linguistics but have to pass on it now. I can speak the language fluently and translate everything but can't get a job in the area because i don't hold a degree to say i can. Think i might emigrate next year.

    Anyways on a more postive not passed my driving test yesterday on first attempt so delighted with that.

    Fairplay, started back driving again after nearly a 3 year absence and two Learner Permits, 3rd lesson tomorrow so hopefully be applying for that aul test soon enough.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,341 ✭✭✭El Horseboxo


    Used to drive years ago myself when i lived in the US. But my Kansas state license wasn't valid here and required me to take the test. Never really needed a car during college so didn't bother with it and went years without driving.

    Yeah Gavin the best thing to do is apply for the test and get your date. That motivates you into getting out there and gaining confidence and road experience once you know the date is approaching. Good luck when you get around to it anyways.

    When you go to college you'll realise it's handy to drive, 1 year of getting the luas from Fatima to Tallaght got me back into the mood of getting back into driving.:D

    Can anyone recommend a good phone? Only thing i care about really is the wi-fi aspect of it. Good browser etc. Had 2 5800's and liked them. But lost one in Thailand and just had one robbed in Tel Aviv. Someone didn't want me to have that model.

    Read a good bit about it earlier on here. Seems a lot of people like it and then some people who are really into a phones technology don't like it. Guess it depends on what you want out of the phone.

    Some decent info about it in these threads

    Anyone ever hear of a horse called Rajic, I was told by the son of the farrier of the horse that I should watch out for him..?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,335 ✭✭✭✭UrbanSea


    Rajik? If you heard of him before his run at the end of July you would have made some serious money. Went on to run a 3 timer before forth in the Irish Leger last week.


    I just had steak. Oh yes.
