Not active on the site any more but I still get notifications to threads I subscribed to. I got my provisional licence back last Tuesday and I took my theory test the same day (scored 50/50 and 64/75 for the hazard perception). I'm putting in for my practical test for some time in June. Once I get t...

I wonder if I can get a few hours credit if I take in some of the junk I have stored in my loft? I guess it's worth a try...

Funny you should say that... I did a demo at my sons school that included exploding soap bubbles filled with hydrogen gas. The kids loved it but I think the H&S nutters were having kittens!

I'm working in Oxfam for the next 7 months.

Apparently, as a part of my rehabilitation, I can get free lessons so that I can learn to read and write.

LOL - I'm not literally using a pushbike (which would be suicide on the roads around here).

It was a tongue-in-cheek reply to "Road to recovery" bearing in mind I'm banned.

Isn't it annoying how quips aren't funny once you've had to explain them?

Maybe they are worried I'll have to turn over the local off-licence to pay for the solicitors?

I got a 12 month ban, 200 hours community service and a 2 month curfew (8PM-6AM)

They didn't feel that they could pass sentence without the report so mitigation was irrelevant at this point. It will be put forwards at the next hearing but much of it will be likely to appear in the pre-sentencing report in any case.

Case adjourned until 12 May for pre-sentencing report by probation service. The Magistrates are accepting jurisdiction over this, so it will not have to go to Crown Court at this stage.

Probably best that I say nothing more until sentence is handed down.

As I said before - arguing the case in court costs money that I don't have. Justice only exists if you have the money to get your solicitor to explore all the avenues before fighting a potentially lengthy (read expensive) trial. I have niether the money nor the stamina to undertake such a fight. I a...
