Nottingham Forest Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I forgot to mention this earlier but does anyone have freeview. The reason why I am asking is because yesterday at about 10 past 1 in the morning I was watching Sky3 and it had the Sky Sports News Channel . How long has been like that for and will it stay like that? Does anyone know? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purefun Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 I miss this thread. Well, the old this thread. And I miss Dhuey.Also, fwiw, enter this competition to win a years subscription to Football Manager Live [/shamelessadvertising] Get in here more often then, we are all good. Most of us. Anyway Purefun isn't going anywhere. Right? No I'm here to stay. Still love FM. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 This is mainly a question for Purefun as he speaks Belgian. However if anyone else does then thanks. Anyway, I was on Fifa last night playing online against someone. I was Forest and he was Anderlecht. I beat him 1-0. After most games I usually switch to the TV side where I can watch programs and as the Football League Show was on I forgot to click whether I wanted a rematch. Once I switched back I checked to see if I had any messages off anyone for Cod or what not and this guy had sent me a message. All it said was filsdespute or something like that. What does it mean? I assume it's a swear word so I apologise in advance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mon the Arsenal! Man Cityeither them or Chelsea My heart says Spurs. My head says Chelski. Man United of course I was reading the first page of this thread and there was this.

Nottingham Forest Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 That's weird. I will never do drugs/drink and drive. I spoke to my driving instructor and due to the bad weather we had over Christmas he's busy as he has lot of people who are close to taking their tests. He said to get in touh with him once I have passed my theory test. The thing is I don't think I will. I haven't booked it yet or tried to revise but I failed it last time and it's hit my confidence big time. I lost motivation for driving and that's why I haven't had a lesson for two months. Any tips for getting motivation back? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjericho Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Just think of a thing that is useful in life. And probably most of your friends have a license and you don't, that sucks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Just think of a thing that is useful in life. And probably most of your friends have a license and you don't, that sucks. Nope, doesn't work really. I don't need a licence at the moment and whilst it may be useful for jobs that's it. But with there not being much jobs out there it doesnt really matter. Most of mates don't have a licence either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gizmo7 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 To attain a driving licence was big enough motivation for me. With driving, you really need to stick with it until you pass, because once you do, the licence is yours for life! (Unless your an idiot and get it taken off you) The theory test is relatively simple, you should buy one of those discs to help you practice. With the practical driving, well... practice makes perfect I guess Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjericho Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Why don't you go driving around in a quiet neighbourhood to see if it clicks? I actually don't need to drive except to go to the football matches, but it's a liberating feeling to know that if I want to go to the mall or to go anywhere I can just get in my car and go. I'm all for public transportation and the less people drive around the better, but sometimes I gotta admit it's good to have a car. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nottingham Forest Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I've got one of the discs. Have had one for about two years or so. Before I started taking my lessons. I just need to get the motivation to pass my theory. That's the thing I'm worrying about. I failed it last time and don't want to fail it again. I'm not that good at revising either which is a problem. Never have been. I get bored of sitting in front of a screen and trying to learn. i was like it for my GCSEs as well. Especially English Literature. But I actually sat down and learnt what I needed to learnt and got a C. I'm alright with the practical side of driving. Infact my instructor has taught me all that I need to know it's just a case of practicing it a bit more so that I am ready for my test, which shouldn't be too long. It's just the theory that's letting me down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingjericho Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I don't know about how it works there, but here in Portugal if you fail the theory test you have to pay around €100. That's motivation right there. Actually it's more like pressure but it works for lots of people, it certainly did for me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm all for public transportation and the less people drive around the better, but sometimes I gotta admit it's good to have a car. Again, not possible . I don't have the money for a car or the insurance nor do I have a qualified driver of three or more years that can help. My grandad said he won't help me as although he has the patience, he didn't like teaching my nan. My dad doesn't have the time because he's at work most of the day and I work evenings.

That's motivation right there. Actually it's more like pressure but it works for lots of people, it certainly did for me. It's £31 in England. No doubt it will go up soon as well. Add to the fact that in September they are re-writing the answers as well. Again that doesn't seem to motivate me. If I could learn in short bursts then it would be ok. I plan on giving myself four weeks to practice. It's just the fact that it takes about an hour to complete the test and I just don't have the patience to sit there for an hour knowing that FM or my PS3 is a short click away .

I really do it's just the theory side of it. The practical bit I can do. Just not the theory. I'm not going to use the reward system that school taught us to use for our GCSEs which was revise for little bit and then reward youself with some chocolate or a short time on a game. Because to be honest I don't need no more chocolate and I can't play a game for short space of time, there's no point. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
