Tickets for Monday's gig arrived. They'd sent tickets for the balcony (seated) rather than for downstairs (standing). Not v impressed. However when I complained and said I'd be in the previous gig on Sunday they've actually arranged to meet me there and exchange tickets! V impressed indeed.

Driving theory test this morning. 35/35 on the multiple guess (for the third time running) - pass mark is 30. 64/75 on the hazard perception - pass mark is 44. You can score up to 5 points for each hazard, depending on how soon you spotted it developing. And there are 14 clips, one of which has 2 hazards in it instead of 1. I scored 9 on the clip with 2 hazards. Of the remaining clips I scored 5 on 5, 4 on 6 and 3 on 2. Pretty damned happy with that. Next step: leave it til next working day for number to be passed on to booking system, then organise myself an intensive practical course (prob 10-15 hours over a weekend) with the test at the end of it.

Now I just need to decide what I'm doing this evening. Want to help? [Poll #630236]

Sod it

I'm definitely in London Sunday and Monday (and staying over at Tom's). I might well decide I'm alive enough to make it to MBM's party on Saturday night too and crash there. I think on balance this makes BMovie tonight a really bad idea. Despite being very tempted by those of you suggesting I go for it. Probably going to go to the pub with Mike's colleagues instead.

BTW anyone want a standing ticket for the XFM winter wonderland gig on Monday? Supergrass, Richard Ashcroft (acoustic), Athlete, Graham Coxon (acoustic), The Go! Team, Kubb (acoustic), Morning Runner. Starts 5:30, ticket can be yours for 28 quid, which is what it cost me including booking fees.
