Thank you kindly Mr Hir, that's very kind and supportive of you to say. A little support in the right places goes a long way and another AD friend recently said more or less the same thing as you, so it's on my list of things to do soon.
My
thing is that I like to ace tests; it's a competitive game I play with myself and in many ways it's what drives me, without becoming obsessed with it of course... Ahem!
So i'm aware of some of the areas I need to improve in and i'd like to ace the RoSPA test by being the best I can be. I sometimes think a little therapy might help with this
but i'm happy with my progress to date and i'm eager to keep on improving on that. So it's not me being pushy but eagerness that you'll notice. I don't doubt that i'll take the test sometime soon and get a good result but if it could be even better with a bit more practice, why ever not do just that? I always seek to have quality feedback from people I can learn from, when out on AD drives and i'm confident that i'll pass the test with an okay mark. The thing is, as you're now aware, I sort of don't
do 'okay marks' and I already know a good few areas for immediate improvement. So my plan is to get those areas as straight as I reasonably can and until they're consistent in my normal drive, before taking the RoSPA test. I'll give you a shout before I do and you can also cross your fingers for me
We'll have to go for a drive sometime. You'll be glad to know that I have finally extracted the f****** Barry Manilow CD that was stuck in the player when I bought the car last year, so the MX5 has been made safe and I don't wear the blonde mullet wig or Elvis shades any more.... well at least not while driving but that's something else
Edited: To apologise for the minor derailment of the thread. It's still distantly related with the topic.
A wise man once told me that "it depends". I sometimes agree.
