HAhaaaaaaaaaa! Thanks muchly!
Both passed! Wheee!
A few minors handed to us both (by an incredibly muppet of an examiner!)! Sam was handed a few for being over cautious and one for going 60mph instead of 70mph. Upon returning he was bluntly asked:
Moo of an Examiner: *dryly* "Do you know the difference between Give Way and Stop?"
Sam: "Erm... yeh one you don't have to stop at if it's clear and the other you have to stop no matter what.."
Examiner: "Then why did you stop at a give way?"
Sam: "Er.... because I wanted to check it was clear?!"
Examiner: "Well it was"
Sam: "Erm. Sorry?"
Fair enough, at the end of the day if it's not considered as the correct protocol then Sam should get a minor.... but he could have put it more elegantly and less like a muppet!
I picked up two - one doing a slightly late life saver check (in a quiet off street... bum nuggets to me!) and another for not turning my indicator off quick enough (two car lengths into the road and I realised it was still flicking due to my numb thumb (can't feel my left thumb) not pressing hard enough on indicator). Fair enough though, will accept those minors!
Good day though! Rode back and was just so relieved! Left us both exhausted!
Did get a right telling off though by the instructors... and that was before I was anywhere near the bikes! Haha! They were being... erm... miserable shall we say! Shame as it tarnishes our views on examiners (made me think "they must be a certain breed of species to do this job... miserable lifeless twonks!" (stronger words may have been thought but censored here
)
More of that on the blog tomorrow (right now, the blog is being back burnered for the celebrations of white chocolate bran flake cakes, earl grey tea and Left 4 Dead 2 on steam
)
Next though... getting our bikes! Bit of a nerve racking time as we're waiting for some news... failing that I have to wait for the remortgage to go through which will be in about 4 weeks time then we will go SHOPPING!
Needless to say, the colour will most probably be orange
