A poll of questions

A poll for a morning, a Thursday morning, apparently, which means that I must remember to buy the Guardian to get the booklet about Freshers Week.

[Poll #1446248]

And I would have posted about this horrible review in the Independent before if I'd been here. I haven't seen The Girlfriend Experience, though it sounds interesting, and I've no idea if his other criticisms are valid, but this:

One of them, the elephantine Tessa (Debbie Chazen) giggles nervously about going to see a play that she's in.
There's no point in not saying that these huge and unappetising women come across as being incredibly sad and curiously stupid, with their whale-like lolloping around


is fairly vile no matter what.

I've just passed my driving test so am now free! free! to go to parties and evening socials with ease. And even though I very very rarely drink, now I'm thinking, "But I won't be able to drink any more!" which just goes to show that a) I have a pessimistic personality and b) the grass is always greener.

Congratulations! Since I passed my test when I go to stay with my parents I drive so that they can drink. It's why they keep me on their car insurance.

Thanks! I'm being put temporarily on the parents' insurance so I can drive them to the airport and back when they go on holiday next week. They have a Merc, I have a Fiesta - guess which I'll be driving when they're away?
