^ Ah, well it could be worth you finishing the year. Even if you don't think you want to go to university after that. It could be good experience and it's usually good to prove you can stick at things. Unless it's making you really unhappy? What's the subject you're studying?

I've been looking at Leons too, but they do look fast which is where I have an issue with them And speaking of chipping in...

I've heard about cars having software to control the DSG to suit the way you drive, perhaps it was something to do with that?
My friend's got a VRS, a new tyre cost over £200 That concerns me But then he is a nutter

You know how there are adults who weren't born when Friends started? In a couple of years there will be adults who weren't born when Friends ended.

The trailer looks good to me. Although it's only one side of him, they don't show the sex and drugs side of him.

It's ridiculous! It still freaks me out to think that people born in 2000 are adults now

Default Re: Type what you're thinking about right now (11)

Why am I so flipping tired. I thought it was hormonal at the weekend but again today i'm back to sleepiness. I slept in cause I wasn't busy today. Then ended up sleeping in the afternoon! Started watching something and dropped off when I woke up and it was 5 past 4!! Think I need to stop delaying seeing the doctor. I wondered if it was the escitalopram but I forgot to take it last night.

I suppose the FR on the back does make it look a bit like the "dickhead edition" but hey its not a Cupra (although given how this is I wouldn't mind a Cupra )

Theres a 5 door one which looks a little more "boring normal car" and then the 3 door one which is the sports coupe does look a little more boy racer (alas, the one I have) - think the 3 door one has gone now (mines 2014) and from the next iteration the Leons are all going under the Cupra name now? its all very confusing!

I did look at the remaps before, also read how they twiddle with the DSG software to make it snappier (its not great at predicting the next gear if you change your mind ) You do seem to get a noticeable boost for not a great deal of money though!

hmm, I've got 17" on mine but I want the 18" wheels and the official 18" Leon alloys but a set of alloys and new "average" tyres is £1200-1300 , I can certainly see how you could lose £200 on a tyre

I think I first started feeling old when I would see comments online by people who were clearly born in the 90s. Then when I got to 36, 37 I freaked out because people who were then 18 were born when I was 18. And now we're in the first year of grown up Generation Z.

Unless you're doing it yourself?

But thinking of resale value after a few years, golf/a3 will always tend to be a tad better.
Between leon & octavia, I always thought octavia has the better interior quality, esp the sat nav software and general look, feel/design.
Found octavia seats better too.
If you're doing lot of motorway miles, small stuff like that reaaaally makes a difference.
Crap seats and you feel it after a long journey.

Feeling restless again today. I'm thinking about how apart from others i feel.

I always need a goal, something to work towards. What happens next, where to now.

Luckily this lady was standing outside of the visitor centre with him. I ran up to her, my eyes were welling up and I gave her massive hug (did not know that I was a hugger of random strangers!). She'd rang our phone number on his tag and was about to take him to vet. She said that she just picked him up and carried him haha.
Whoa, biscuits zooms in with the feel good post of the month! I'm glad your pooch...dog is back with the clan

Elephants. They're such chilled out giants. And the way they interact and remember one another and grieve is heartbreaking.

How do they know that!? They do seem very trusting...which is sad because they probably let the poachers come close because they're inquisitive elephants might be my fav animal.
