First driving lesson tomorrow. Is there anything worth knowing prior to it or will it all be fairly obvious once I get going? Out of curiosity how did it go for you? I literally had my first lesson yesterday aswell. 2 hour lesson but the first 45 mins to an hour were going over basic controls etc. Then I did an hours worth of driving forward and reversing then did gear the same with a gear change included also. Surprisingly didn't stall, which shocked me.

I’ll never forget one of your first games with us when we got to the final team against a couple of pretty good players and then I saw you floating through the air in front of them with a jet pack, I was thinking what on earth is that lad up to? Element of surprise.

Surprisingly didn't stall, which shocked me. Yeah 2 hours for me, similar sort of start. Didn't do any reversing just a few loops around roads with some gear changes at times. Right at the end I did a loop turning right and there was a car behind me also wanting to turn right and pretty much everything I'd learnt disappeared and instantly stalled it. Kept veering too far left as well, I think I was driving as though I was in the centre of the car rather than on the right of the car. Not too bad in the end considering I barely knew how a clutch worked 2 hours ago, just a lot of nervous energy.

Yeah I was the same regarding where you're positioned in the car, left side of the car feels so far away haha. Was strange after my lesson getting driven back home too. Instructor was doing same speed what I was in the car, but yet it felt so much slower being sat in the passenger side of the car, to when I was driving. Little things like that you don't seem to notice.

a mate of ours has gone to turkey for a hair transplant and made the mistake of sending a photo of himself into our group chat pre-surgery of his bald head and face. the chat has exploded with photoshop jobs, personal favourite being our mate as Stone Cold

Unlucky.
For some reason unknown to even me I stepped in to break up a fight earlier. Of all places, at a ladies football match.
Obviously this is a very un-me thing to do, and I have no idea why I opened with a shout of "LEAVE IT OUT, IT'S A SUNDAY".
Which is bad enough.
But when you realise that with my current hair/beard combo, I literally look like a Tommy Fleetwood/Jesus knock-off, makes the whole scenario even weirder.

Out of curiosity would you not have intervened if it a Friday or a Saturday?

I can grow a full beard but we have to be clean shaven for work. Don’t necessarily think a beard suits me either, I’ve got a bit of a baby face.

I don't have a beard, they're only for peasants.
