Mister Shine Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 oh god, visions of mako flying by on the wrong side of the road screaming as motorists swerve out of the way.... is actually pretty funny come to think of it, since I walk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Hey, I only went round a roundabout the wrong way once. And that was after coming back from New York, and being sleep deprived. My mate decided to point it out just as we got off the roundabout helpfully. Still, 2am on a wide and empty road, nothing actually went wrong!

Mister Shine Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 And those were PROBABLY speedbumps! That they just made, so they were still squishy and screamy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'd only forgotten the side of the road I was supposed to be on, not how to identify targets. I mean pedestrians. Meh, either way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 The brakes just aren't working. Push on the pedal, and it takes far more effort to slow down than it should. Thank God for me having a standard, I can downshift to bleed off speed. Hey Mako, congrats on post 32k. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 A couple of years ago I had to go to Italy for work and had to hire a car ... driving on other side of road, somewhere that you arent familiar with and you dont speak a word of the language, is definately fun times, all my driving was done during peaks times as well, I only went on the wrong side of the road twice though and only on my first day. It did take me 2.5 hours to get where I was going though and it was only supposed to be a 25-30min drive away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Cheers Ed, I missed that milestone! Changing countries and road sides does get really confusing, especially at big complicated junctions, it's all too easy to pick the wrong route between all the little islands!

edonil Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 What's up with your hand, Mako? And I can't even imagine how crazy it would be driving on the opposite side of the road from what you've been taught. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I don't really know, I think I must have a nerve trapped in my elbow. Every so often when I move it, I get massive pins and needles from elbow to fingertip, and my hand wrenches open. I'm just glad it was my water and not my cup of tea I was holding when it happened this morning! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Shine Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Should I work on giant yellow robots or zombie hookers tomorrow? ---------- Post added at 10:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ---------- You should maybe get that looked at Mako!

Mako Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Ah, it'll pass I'm sure. Probably work itself out without any trouble. Specially not if I have to go find a doctor and get my insurance to deal with it! I'm with ed, yellow robots are the way forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 So, just got my course syllabus for my next two classes...should be able to (in theory) pull off Nanowrimo and my essays for class without too much trouble. Are you getting any further with your planning, Mako? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Ah, the old balancing act? Rather you than me, I struggle to get one bit of writing done! I've got the same plan on the wall, just a few more bits in my head that I've not written down yet. Need to sort out my account and get myself ready for it, it starts in a week or so doesn't it. Still, I think I'm more settled to it now. The plan seems more logical Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edonil Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'm still plugging away at it, if that's what you mean. I don't think I'll be doing much messing around with trying to connect Carver into the novel, but I did figure out what I want to do about linking the two stories. Ah, multi-generational family oaths, lol. Incidentally, the idea helped solve another problem. I think I'm going to stop updating here, though. Which makes me sad, but if I'm serious about getting this published, I need to stop putting it online. I think I'm going to see about doing something like a mailing list for the readers who are here...that way, I have more control over it. ---------- Post added at 11:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 PM ---------- Hmmm...pizza.
