Jesus fucking Christ I just had one of the best Dominos ever. 50% off FTFW.

 

I tried for the first time;

 

Thin Crust. (obv I've had thin before, just not from Dominos) really good...but...almost criminally thin. I feel theres a good middle ground to be found between their thin and regular Who's with me?

 

I've had the thin crust from dominoes and it isn't nice, it was just like a pastry base :s Very bizarre. Pizza hut have the nicest thin bases out of all that I've tried.

Very tired. Day off from Uni but I've had to do some writing for work. Still not finished and will have to get it done tomorrow morning as, from about 11am onwards, I'll be doing an essay for Uni. So much writing... really could do with a break but the next few weeks, I doubt, will permit it.

 

Gonna curl up in bed and stick a movie on this evening. Perhaps Any Given Sunday or something. In the mood for hearing Pacino's awesome motivational speech.

I've never seen the appeal of drinking alone.

 

My old R.M.E teacher (a legendary vicar or something along those lines. Canon was his title?) who taught us nothing about religion once stared out the window telling us to never reach the point where you drink alone. But he was probably referring to doing it when you're an old man or something.

 

are you learning in a diesel or a petrol?

 

No idea. He didn't tell me?

FIsh and gizmo; you guys are fail.

I HAF TEH CIDAR! MEDAL GIVER IS ME AND I GIV IT TO ME!

 

What did Fish do?

 

And I hate you for having Cider. If I had cider I would be significantly drunker.

 

I gotta get me a fake ID so I can actually buy this shit instead of stealing my dads.

I thought you were 18, Gizmo? Or almost..

 

*remembers Gizmo vowed to put me on ignore, but never knew if he actually did or not, so this serves a test*

If you can lift the clutch and go without stalling, that's a diesel. If you have to stick the accelerator down before even moving (while bringing up the clutch) that's a petrol.

 

What you learn as a "hill start" in a diesel is basically the ESSENCE of driving a petrol. handbrake on, acceleration, lifting clutch (all exact, and at the same time!)

 

I'm a complete disaster in a petrol.. :angry:

17. Turn 18 in March. Too far away.

 

FYI, you are on ignore, but Han mentioned this post to me and since it's one of the rare instances where you weren't a pretentious dick in your posts I felt it right to reply.

Was there really a need to mention that?

I felt it deserved a reply, but didn't want to skew the results of his test.

 

Also, it's somewhat lols that it's Moogle thats taking the moral high ground.

 

Also, I'm somewhat drunk.

To be honest I never bother using the handbrake, the real skill is getting the clutch to the point where it overcomes the gradient of the hill. It comes with experience. It baffles me to be sitting as a passenger when others are driving and they get to even a little hill and they whack on the handbrake just so they can set their feet properly. Far too much farting around for my liking.

Or maybe they do it because riding your clutch burns it out.

Or constantly re-applying your handbrake will knacker that.

Yeah, drinking alone generally sucks -- but the internet has kinda changed the whole 'alone' stuff, and i think the world has yet to catch up. I am currently drinking 'alone' with a manager from work, an old college mate and some random dude,though I can't remember why I know him, from mexico.

 

So I wanted to make a new thread but genreally they suck. Too many trolls.

 

Also; just finished watching Bruno - definitely not as good as Borat but certainly very funny in places. A lot more scripted and predictable. About to start watching Stephen King's It. Muahahahaaaaaaa!

Well using the handbrake will wear a lot less than riding your clutch for more than a few seconds. And since handbrakes are cheaper and easier to change (cheaper labour) I'll go for that.

You can tighten the cable on a handbrake in about 60 seconds (stretching cable is the most common problem with handbrakes), changing a clutch is much harder/more expensive.

 

Plus I'd much rather have a car with a knackered handbrake that a knackered clutch. Worse that happens with a knackered handbrake is that you have to leave it in gear to stop it moving, worst that happens with a knackered clutch is that you can't drive it anywhere.
