    Erm...I'm sure it would have gone well if I'd actually been able to take it...

    I turned up without all the necessary documents, i.e. the paper counterpart of my licence which tells them if I've got any driving convictions etc. I won't go on in too much detail, I had a good rant about it yesterday on Nikki and Dan's topic if you want to read further, but basically they couldn't accept me without the correct documents. Stupid mistake on my part, but another example of how stupid the DSA's (Driving Standards Agency) system is - one used to be able to sign a disclaimer if you forgot the counterpart document declaring your lack of convictions, and in the event that you were found to be lying, the results of the test would be declared invalid. This year, it's changed and become more stupid. Argh.

    I had to go through the same....crappy, to put it politely process Harry. It really bites when you have every document except one and you're screwed

    I remember I left wondering one of the words you used in your post...I can't remember the word. Something us Yankees don't use obviously.
    I'm usually on here way past my bed time myself. I didn't get off last night till about 1 and I had to get up at 6 to get ready for work. Whatever happens with your results you have to remember it's not the end of the world.
    About the album I'm always nervous that I won't recongnize their sound and it would sound completely different from my expectations. But they never seem to fail

    Ah yeah, shufty . I remembered! lol. It's just a colloquialism sometimes used informally to mean getting on with something in quick time. Thanks for the wise words re. results, I agree - it's never the end of the world, but I would be a bit irritated were it to eventuate that the last two years weren't quite enough, and that I'd have to spend another year trying again, but it's always a fallback option.
    I agree what you say about the album though, I just hope that whatever they do, it's good

    Crappy indeed, I was so pissed off for so many reasons for much of yesterday as a result. But yeah, it's behind me, we all make mistakes in life, but it's important that we learn from them so as not to repeat them

    Don't feel foolish, same rules here too. I know a lot of people who ran into the same situation. It's shit, I know. When is your next try?

    Early September, at least that's when the next available slots are. I tried booking yesterday but I kept getting told that a session had already been booked in the category concerned for the candidate concerned, i.e. I had already got an examination booked for yesterday, which I was well aware of, it was as a result of said examination that I was trying to book again...

    I have indeed. I mean, we didn't get much in the way of quality BUT I sincerely hope it's just drafts as opposed to finished articles that we were given glimpses of. I'm still hanging on for the "molten metal" that Bono referred to in an article from last year, I think it was?

    Sound Quality was crappy yes but whether they were drafts or finished products I REALLY liked what I heard
