The Night Thread Mk. IX

Whilst watching Sport relief I have been struck by the urge to do something charitable, so if we can raise £150 by midnight my wife and I will do the full 36 mile Ivanhoe way trail in one day tomorrow...no training or anything!

All money will go to Sport relief, you can donate by texting TCKE58 along with your donation amount (i.e £5) to 70070

Come on people!

I heard they notified the families by phone call and if you did not pick up they told you by text

Installed an anti-virus program for the first time in three years today and ran a full scan, it found nothing malicious.

I honestly cannot understand what people must be doing to be getting viruses on their computers.

I'm learning manual and just drove auto for the 1st time yesterday.

It's amazing how much more aware I am when I don't have to remember about which gear I'm in and not having to fear releasing the clutch too fast and stalling in the middle of the road.

This section of the board is more or less dead, the FM careers forum is still fairly active and sports discussion comes to life at weekends. aside from that Rob may as well program some digital tumbleweeds.

That's a shame, weird seeing the place so dead compared to how it was a couple of years ago.

I finish uni forever in a few weeks so I might actually have the time to see if I'm still absolutely terrible at FM.

I can drive manual and have a manual licence but yeah i was one of those people who hated changing gears, would always stress about and would be constantly thinking about it so I can understand where he is coming from. I'd probably prefer an automatic aswell, just never bothered to get one being a skint student n that

I have driven an automatic ever since I got my licence.

Manual is all about practice and experience though, drive one every day for a year and you won't need to think about the clutch and all that while driving, you'll do it subconsciously.

That said, getting stuck in traffic with a manual is awful, which is why I'd never choose it for a daily driver.

Plane 'false alarm' off Gran Canaria
Reports that an aircraft had crashed into the sea off Spain's island of Gran Canaria are a "false alarm", Spanish officials say.

Spanish media reported that a crash had occurred two miles off the island and that rescue services were heading to the scene.

But Spain's airports association AENA said that a boat had been mistaken for a plane.

Local media blamed the confusion on a tug towing another vessel.

Turns out there's been a cock-up at their HR, and I was supposed to start work only in mid-April.

Which would've been better if I hadn't found out about it by going to the store.

Wasn't all bad though, 1st day of training, was fulfilling.

Being stuck in traffic in a manual is no different to every other aspect of driving one, I barely notice what I'm doing in traffic jams these days, it's all second nature.

If you're a poor or unconfident driver I can understand why an automatic would seem a better option but the more you drive a manual the easier it gets, tbh if you're going to do something, do it properly.

If you've just been using an automatic I can understand why you'd hate traffic jams in a manual - automatic's are so easy to drive, you can be doing just about anything and still get around!

I'm working in an outlet in an institution, so at least it's not retail hours.

What he said ^

My mum's got an auto on disability and I get to drive that and it is nice to drive and the gear changes are smoother than any I can do (mock rally gear changes

) but I just can't get on with not being able to use a clutch manually, always going for the clutch at junctions or whatever and slamming on the breaks. Guess I'm too used to a manual.
