Oh gosh, I haven't been here for ages!
And yes, I'm a girl! happy
I'm an EU gal... Thrawn and Soontir for me all the way! :P
I'm also an OT person...
I (gods honest truth) hated the newer trilogy... I expected Padme to die in a more dignified fashion...

Shhhhhhhhh, don't put her off ODJ!

He's only kidding Rhi, this place is a veritable hive of activity and action.

You should stick around and hang out for five, tell us some stories of your Star Wars experiences or something.

We actually have a meet coming up on Sunday. There promises to be the most Welsh posters in one place at any given time in our history!

Now that's got to be worth sticking around for.

Heh, that'd be great if I had money and could drive! :P
Actually I had my FIRST lesson yesterday.
And I'm not too shabby apparently!
(Those PGR games MUST have aided! :P)
Soo... Anyone going to Memoribilia?
I am, it's a bit away from Cheshire (being in Birmingham and all) but me and my friends are a bit psyched that we actually get to do something fun in ages other than going to gigs and getting trashed! grin (My sad student life...)

After all my promises of incread posting activity Rhi, I go and disappear for a couple of days. But I do have good excuses though.
1, I spent all Sunday at the con and driving around everywhere. I had to get up at 4am to go pick my parents up from the airport, so i'm pretty much dead!
2, I have a stinking cold (caught from my evil, evil brother) and combined with how tired I am, I feel like death warmed up.
3... Well there is no 3, but did I mention the cold? wink

Getting trashed and going to gigs eh? Sounds like a pretty good life to me! Ah to be a student.
Don't think i'll be going to the Memorabilia event, but I'm 90% certain to be going to the London Eurpean Celebration next year. Is that something you would be interested in too? Cause even though it's early days, it would seem that there are many Welsh posters looking to attend. There was even an opening dialog of hotel accomodation and travel arrangements between myself, Stevie79 and ODJ.

Don't worry about the driving thing. I'm the best driver in the world and even I had to take the test twice (as did Jensen Button). Hell, my sister is on her fourth test!

But the computer games certainly help. I lived on F1 games when I was your age and I think that's why i'm such a good driver now.

Not heard of the other event! I'll check it out! grin
My driving has improved in the past half week or so... I no longer look at the gearstick at least! :P
But I swear if my dad takes me again I'll murder him...
WHY is he such an automobile purist?
WHY!?

Well I turned 17 on the 29th June... But I went on holiday after that so I had to wait till I'd worked a weekend then I could pay the £19.50 owed...

Ah yes, but can you do a 1:14.307 at Monaco???

I THINK NOT!

I was king of the road back in the day. If only they had gaming compitions back then like they do now with big cash prizes. I would have been a millionaire!

I know this sounds like i'm blowing my own trumpet, but I was really that good.

I try to play the odd racing sim now and again, but it just doesn't quite do it for me anymore. When you had achieved success at the level I had for so long, to go back now and battle against AI and internet cheaters just doesn't do it for me. Which is a shame really since the online racing community is excellent and I would have killed for that kind of challenge when I was in my prime.

But times change.. I still have the reactions of Superman, but as far as racing goes i'm way out of practice, though still very handy behind the wheel. It would takes months of practice to get back to the level I was at in the mid to late 90's. God I was good....

I turned 17 at the end of march last year but never bothered to learn but now I see that was a wee bit of a mistake.

If you had my dad, you'd have learned as soon as possible.
The man is a tad over-excitable when it comes to cars...
