Couple of silly stalls today, gears screwing me up again, but everything else is pretty much going alright.

Gears still fucking me up. But its literally just practice practice practice.

Just booked my theory test. Not until 21st October, by choice, not because there wasn't any space.

Proper enjoying Control Resonant. 13 hours in and not even that far through. The mold is tasty though.....

Some people have no fucking clue how to drive. 1 idiot not indicating on a roundabout and another idiot stopping on a pedestrian crossing i was using.

The Spray version of The Highwayman is probably the best version of the song. This just elevates it.

Remedy: Please don't post Control Resonant spoilers (directed at everyone) PS5 players on the Control subreddit: ALL THE SPOILERS!

I'm an Uncle x2 now, I have a nephew and a niece.

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 21/09/2026

I'm still a bit iffy about driving without dual controls. But honestly, I should just nut-up and do it.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 16/09/2026

As of 11pm BST, Helldivers 2 and Horizon Forbidden West have been delisted in the UK on @steampowered.com. Most likely a glitch, but it could be @playstation.com being playstation....

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 16/09/2026

I know they say you shouldn't pre-order games, but I'm SOOOOOO pre-ordering Control Resonant (tomorrow).

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 15/09/2026

Went for an actual, hour long drive over to the headland and back. Instructor originally wanted me to set off from home, except the kids would have screwed me over - Took him 5 mins to get into my street because of the teachers stopping traffic. Next lesson wont be at kids kicking out time LOL

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 15/09/2026

I should have probably read the last email a but closer, that's on idiot me 😵

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 14/09/2026

I've not even got tracking details for mine yet 🫤

This might change. I need something with rear electric windows, so can lock them out so sisters kids don't play with them. Clio's with rear electric windows over this way are about £6k+.

Waiting for the Apple fanboys to say Apple invented foldable phones, and they are perfect. They didn't and the screen will crease like the rest.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 08/09/2026

My driving instructor let me out on actual roads today, and I did 2 roundabouts. Ah Yeah!

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 07/09/2026

I've decided I'm getting a Renault Clio, 5 door, manual and petrol. Preferably with Medianav, so near anything from 2015 onwards. Now too wait till December, January or February.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 03/09/2026

Oh, so *thats* why I've forgotten how to breath

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 28/08/2026

If I got the same as my sister got for 2 science babies, I'd be able to get a 2023 Clio with all the toys, and still have enough to insure it for 2 years and tax it for 3. As it is, I probably need to fight to get an actual shitbox.

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 27/08/2026

Meh, wake me up with GTA 6 comes to PC

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 25/08/2026

Fuck Sake! I've still not finished Witcher 3 Blood and Wine.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 25/08/2026

Might be test ready closer than I think, although still sometime middle of 2027.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 25/08/2026

Second lesson in, and the instructor wanted me to drive to the industrial estate. I didn't because I didn’t feel that comfortable - BUT, next lesson, I might be ok to drive home. Didn't need to use the peddles once again and I was practically independent other than him saying which way to go.

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 23/08/2026

Mmm, next driving lesson on Tuesday.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 20/08/2026

Should definitely stop looking at ones with Android Auto in em, they are waaaaay past my budget of 3fiddy and a pack of fags.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 20/08/2026

I should stop looking at cars. I couldn’t get one till December at the earliest anyways, and even then I would only be using it 1 or 2 days a week until I pass my driving test, which is a while away yet by any measure.

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 19/08/2026

Ugh, I might be turning into "One of thoes who complains to the council" Idiots going the wrong way down our street thats one way - Might need to email the council to fix the "No Entry" on the road, even if the main signs themself are fine. Not that anyone will take any notice of that either.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 18/08/2026

I can actually drive. Well, drive as much as someone with 14 hours experience can drive. Instructor was very impressed with me, didn’t need to use his peddles once, which surprised even me.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 17/08/2026

Driving instructor had a free spot tomorrow. So I got a lesson at 12:30.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 16/08/2026

I might have a driving lesson with the instructor next week. Randomly messaged that he might have a spot.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 16/08/2026

Not able to do any driving lessons till 24th now. Dad and Step-mum taking the child away for the week tomorrow.

To the cunt in Germany who is hacking my (shitty) epic games account: Why? You absolute Cunt!

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 14/08/2026

Whats the point of 2 factor authentication if hackers can get around it?

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 14/08/2026

Woke up to some arsehole who tried to hack my EA, Battle net and Instagram accounts...

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 13/08/2026

Its all starting to come back to me. Its just confidence I need, and practice.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 13/08/2026

So this idiot didn’t read his licence properly and got insurance quotes down to £500 a year as a learner. Still going to wait a bit I think. Maybe a car for me birthday and christmas...

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 12/08/2026

£40 A lesson, £380 for 10 - Way cheaper than I thought. Just need to wait till September till the instructor has a free slot.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 12/08/2026

I'm not getting my own car, atleast not yet. Insurance is far too much. Only upside would be I could get something a bit better when I pass.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 12/08/2026

I honestly hope the car I actually want is still available and is quite good when it comes to buy it, hopefully this weekend. I'll talk to me dad tomorrow about going to see it and my aunt about buying it. Best part, its bright green too

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 12/08/2026

Though, the insurance might go up once I've passed. Can't get a quote about that until I pass. Smeg, driving is expensive.

100

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 12/08/2026

£1500 to insure a car for a year as a learner... The same amount as the cars I'm looking at.... Thankfully and Hopefully, I wouldn’t actually be paying that much because I'll deffo pass a test before a year is up.... Erm...

100

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 11/08/2026

The problem with Private Sellers - You don't know when the car was listed and you don't know if the car is sold or not. Oh, yeah, I have a budget for a car. An actual shitbox, but a car none the less.

000

Anthony Jackson @dancingbeaver.net · 10/08/2026

There are ones sub £2k, but kinda need something that wont fall apart, has an MOT and will last, so, yeah.
