Well good new from me...... I PASSED MY CLASS 1 WITH 1 MINOR .....BRING ON THE BENDY WAGONS7 points

This feels more like a miracle than a result. I have new hearing aids and I can fucking hear!!!!! Mr Slowly started talking to me as we went through some doors and usually if someone’s behind me I can’t hear what they’re saying, maybe a muffled noise but no actual words. I hadn’t realised I heard all of it when I replied and he said you just heard what I said even though you couldn’t see my face. He then suggested I connected them to my phone and put some music on. I love music. Going deaf and not being able to hear music has been most painful so I was reluctant to spoil such a win by highlighting a loss. Curiosity got the better of me and I played a tune with a prolonged percussion section that contains cymbals, hi-hat cowbells etc all mixed in. I haven’t heard a cymbal for about 10 years but I could hear it all. Every instrument was distinct, the clarity is fantastic, I cried for so long my head started to hurt. I can’t believe it. I know it’s temporary and eventually I’ll get deafer but right now I feel so happy I could cry. Oh look at that I am6 points

This is my worry about getting the artic upgrade is that they fail to put on any one of my other entitlements so I have taken pics of the front and back of my current licence and my pass certificate before I send them off so hopefully then I have proof if I get it back without something because like fuck am I ever doing anymore tests5 points

Had the weirdest day today. Yesterday one of the local blow ins that my big hearted Mrs befriended phoned and asked her to be a witness at her wedding. WTF talk about unexpected. Anyway today we went to the smallest wedding I have ever been to at the Register office. Also I ended taking all the photos on my phone. Twas very nice really and I do wish them all the very best.4 points

It was worrying when we converted our UK licences into Spanish 10 years ago......I'd heard of motorcycle entitlements go missing. So we got our medicals, made multiple photocopies of everything.........and I drove to the city of Granada to give everything to my accountant. He then went into Trafico personally and checked every step of the process.4 points

If one of your friends has brain fog I suggest you look at the recreational habits first, as prolonged use of marijuana pretty much renders a person stupid. I base that on observation. Of you.4 points

I did that a few years ago, dated a Russian girl for a few weeks and a couple of friends of her got married in Porto. They knew no locals and you have to have citizens as witnesses, so I did it. Just 6 people there and on dinner later, it turned out to be very special.3 points

probably more. It's the same bollards as when the constructer gives mpg figures, the test "normes" are stupidly concieved to give optimum conditions. The electric bikes we do, be they high end or cheap shit are the same, official figures are always with no hills or wind ( or wind resistance cos they're cooked up on a rolling road, no rolling resistance from the front wheel ( cos of rolling road) at an optimum stable speed tyres over inflated, with a new battery charged in laboratory optimum conditions, and a rider weighing 50 to 60 kilos. that gets them their 100km figure. Sit me on the bloody thing, outside, with a year old battery charged form a 220v socket in normal road conditions, then your looking at 60 km ish or 110lm/h for about 20 minutes. but then I suppose if they were actually honest about it, they wouldn't sell any....3 points

BTW, that patent was abandoned as it was far too similar to a device already in use that was developed jointly between a Scottish doctor and a Spanish technologist, it a strange twist of fate the Scottish doctor in question is a friend of mine and loaned me the use of a garage to keep the Harley in when I brought it back to the U.K. until I got my Asgard motorcycle shed. Coincidence or conspiracy? You decide.3 points
