What rocks in your life?

From 4 October 2010 your practical driving test will include a section of ‘independent driving’.During your test you’ll have to drive by either following a series of directions, following traffic signs, or a combination of both, for about ten minutes.

To help you understand where you’re going, the examiner may show you a diagram.

It doesn't matter if you don't remember every direction, or if you go the wrong way - that can happen to the most experienced drivers.

Independent driving is not a test of your orientation and navigation skills. Driving independently means making your own decisions - this includes deciding when it’s safe and appropriate to ask for confirmation about where you’re going.

I suppose it does make it a little more relevant... although with some of the news stories that pop up from time to time you'd think they need to add in 'Driving safely with a SatNav' too.

Anyways, back on topic now, picked up some train tickets today for a trip next weekend :D (sorta scraping the barrel a little? :P)

Congrats. I take it your actual test won't have the new 'Independent Driving' section in (that comes in October, apparently)? You'll probably be one of the last ones not to have to do it :)

Thanks! Oh Lord, I hope I don't have to do that, it looks confusing!

Yeah, congrats!

Woo! Well done! Not long and you'll have the world at your hand/feet/wheel
Congrats., Emma!! :hahaha:

Right, today is lovely and warm, and I'm going to the countryside later with my friend!! We're gonna go sunbathing and can hardly wait!! :hahaha:

Thankyou my lovelies! :hahaha:

The Hoff comes to Zurich!! I want to go and see him, because after the show he signs cards and everything, and I want to ask him, what it was like to meet Scott :D. Ok, I met Scott too, but that's a bit different... ;)

i recently had some form of attack on my pc, which installed some fake anti virus software which "scanned" my computer. telling me i had lots of viruses and tryed to direct me to a website to pay for the software, until avg blocked it. i couldn't even boot up task manager or msconfig, so i had to boot in safe mode and clean it that way.

proud of my skills but i'd love to find whoever creates these viruses, and harm them.

on the grid.

I had the same one...

What rocks in my life is I'm in Scotland, yay, and I've been to Edinburgh. Sadly, because I'm not really able to listen to the show right now, I don't know how to get tickets to the Mills shows :( But I've been to the Fringe, and it was amazing, and I'm going again tomorrow or Thursday.

Should we post where Beccy is, so you can get them when you're there?

Ohai.

Is it Beccy today? Because I don't really want to go anywhere today (I was in Falkirk, and that cost me some money, now I'm trying to save it).

It would be nice, if you would post some updates, though. I might not see them, or be able to make it, but it's worth a try :)

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
