Ghosty Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Finally actually got my ADHD diagnosis in writing after seeing the nurse at the clinic instead of the psychologist, who turned out never to have properly finished my diagnosis. Nurse was loads better at her job. I'm really fucking pleased, 'cause the check up revealed my blood pressure is back to normal (was pretty high in winter), and since Christmas I've lost 16kg - two and a half stone Datsuncog, Back_For_More, Dyslexic Viking and 12 others 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paulplom Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I'm 50 today and going to the plate day at Newcastle races. Plumbase where I get my gear from gave me two tickets with a value of £700. Champagne reception, three course dinner, drink as much as you want, evening meal then Pete Tong and his 65 piece orchestra later on. I know nowt about horses (good thing right?) but usually have a flutter maybe a £5er a race with seven races. A mate owes a favour so is picking us up at 11. I fitted a bannister for her auntie so she is picking us up later on. https://www.newcastle-racecourse.co.uk/whats-on/northumberland-plate-ft.-pete-tong-live-after-racing eddyramrod, CGSB, Wack and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danthecapriman Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Got a dreaded HM revenue & customs letter this morning. Usually not a nice thing to find on your doormat, meaning you owe them something! Opened it up to find, shockingly, they owe me £1800!! And they found the error and contacted me about it! Overpaid tax apparently. Nice little bonus I wasn’t expecting.

Markeh Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I've fortunately seen both the Ministry of Sound orchestra and Pete Tong and the Heritage orchestra and they're both incredible live.

Free? Like actually free or 'free-to-reel-you-in-then-actually-£500' Free? If the former, then just to show them what a weapons-grade cretin they are, its well worth taking it off their hands, calling WBAC and having it HIAB'd away and pocketing the £300+ IN FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE like a winner.

Crackers Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I've had significantly worse days. I've never done any performance driving or particularly hot cars. As it turned out, I can drive a bit quicker than I thought. 9th overall out of 50 participants on 8 activities. 6th fastest in the F3000 car. Generally 2nd fastest in my group but other groups had some serious drivers in them! Caterham Pursuit was great fun, a little skid/stunt course. Absolutely bloody bossed it, arse end sideways all the way but under complete control, no idea how! 😁 eddyramrod, Dyslexic Viking, danthecapriman and 15 others 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My employer at the time paid for me to attend a full day in ~2007 and it was brilliant. Caterhams were hands down my favourite, the persuit was brilliant - but all the cars were good in their own way, except the 997 Porsche 911 which was deeply underwhelming in my humble opinion. Glad its still as good as it was a decade and a half ago, and well done for the final placement, much better than I managed! eddyramrod and Crackers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A fantastic full day of action, and when you add it up, despite the big price tag it's far better value for money than any other driving experience I know of. The Pursuit was the highlight of my day I think, but the whole experience was just brilliant and every car was top notch. I did have to take a 2nd attempt at the Clio Cup session as the first car went all French on me so had to swap cars. The M4 presumably takes the place of what was the 911 on your day. A seriously fast car with brakes like you wouldn't believe and good handling, but you can tell it's a heavy beast when the back end swings out and 510bhp escapes as tyre smoke!
