Living Dangerously.

Aloha, Konbanwa!
So, I had my driving test today.

Checking the weather reports from the Met Office in advance was a great experience and mentally helped me prepare myself for the upcoming test - as every single day of the week was clear from severe weather, except Wednesday; the very day I was supposed to be proving my ability to drive and simultaneously not plough through members of the general public and their property.

Already images of a rainy-day-crash-derby had entered my mind, I figured at least Studio8 would have exclusive interviews and first-hand experience of any chaos I may cause.
But, the weather turned out to be a fantastic aid to my driving, effortlessly assisting me by; fogging up the glass, making the mirrors near-unusable and possibly worst of all, pouring through the window, immersing me in what felt like an experience at sea for two.

Though, while I didn't crash, I didn't pass either. Super-Yay. Living on the edge.

It could have gone alot worse; with the death toll reaching a whole person or with the totalling of my instructors car.
But realistically, seeing as I went home with a sheet saying I'd failed, in retrospect it could have gone alot better too - By passing, driving into a pot of gold or sexy lingerie party.

However, continuing my long-standing tradition of failing with finesse and epic style, I managed to attain a Dangerous Fault, signifying I'd placed us in an actual near-danger situation. Plus points, for me.
I'd like to take the opportunity to point out I didn't see anyone who was inconvenienced by the admittedly bizarre right turn I conducted that resulted in the Dangerous Fault, but I wasn't going to complain as the examiner seemed like the sort of character who could grab the wheel and make sure his Dangerous Fault was justified like a lovely man and I thought I best not annoy him because it might put a downer on his day. Boo.

Still. The best drivers pass the second time.
And, incase I fail the second time, I'd like to state now that the best of the best drivers fail twice.

In other news, as of the First of this month, I have been deemed a "significant risk to AdWord Advertisers." Personally, I think that statement is a little melodramatic to say the least, I would admit "significant risk" if perhaps this was a blog plotting the general downfall of Google Incorporated, it's financiers, shareholders, affiliates and partners.
But it is not.

Still; kudos to Google. You make me sound like a terrorist.
So hey, not just a threat to your roads kids, but a danger to your multinational Internet corporations too.

Dude passing on the second time is better than passing the third or forth time, at least you realise what mistakes you did when doing the exam the first time
