Having just successfully completed the naughty boys driving course! (Speed awareness training is, i think, its proper name). So licence is still clear of points as it has been for 30 years or so. Actually, it was interesting and worth doing.

I had one few years back

Enjoyed it, was useful to brush up

Scary how many didn't know national speed limit on country lanes

I seemed only one who was interested that it was tiff nadel in the videos lol

Avoid the admiral group for a few years.. you legally don't have to tell Insurance unless they ask and they only ones that do. Increased price for education? Whole idea of course Is to make people better drivers

Likewise, I seemed to be the only one who knew the speed limit on the four categories of road we were asked about. And because I gave many correct answers, she kept asking if I'd been on the course before. Cheeky sod. (Had to bite my tongue not to reply that it was pretty basic questions?)

But as I said, was well worth doing - just a shame it had to be done on Zoom - think it would have been better in "real life" (but hey-ho, needs must ...)

My kids saw him on Celebrity Gogglebox and I had to explain to them what he did. 'He danced around off his head on stage with a pair of maracas '. They didn't believe me so I told them to look him up on YouTube. o_Oo_O ha ha.

It's going to be worth a watch.

The remastered Blu-Ray of Pink Floyd's Delicate Sound tour. Includes footage from all the tracks that the originally issued VT missed out like Yet Another Movie.
Image and audio clarity is superb.

That's me settled in for the evening to watch the whole lot.

Hayden and Clarke getting booked in injury time to bring up a rather juicy "to be booked" treble.

Even though Paddy Power settled as loser, they saw sense afterwards :love:

Momentary Lapse wasn't the best ovetall album but has a few crackers on it. But the DSoT tour was great.
I didn't make it as too young at the time but was at the Division Bell tour (P.U.L.S.E) at Earl's Court in Oct '94 for my 17th Birthday. It was unbelievable, to this day the best concert I have been to.

Yeah - it was Momentary Lapse - age you know.

As I am a bit older than you, I managed to see an earlier concert too - The Wall at Earls Court - that was something special!

I went to London from Lancashire 3 times in roughly a year and saw Floyd, Yes and Mike Oldfield, and then Genesis a bit later.
