me too I'm the Newb. My mind wanders and I don't know what happening.

Lol

My ex was definitely 'the talker' whenever we sat down in the living room to watch a movie.

And I'm definitely the overreactor when hanging with a chick I'm crushing on.

Depending on the situation/person, I'm thinking I can be all of the above!!

Today (well yesterday actually) - I tried to do a whole journey using my flappy-paddle-gearbox.

I just cant get my head round it, and cant seem to change gear at the right time. I seem to ovethink it. When I had a clutch it all just came natural, and I didnt notice I was changing gear. Now its via the steering wheel, my mind just cant cope, and its like im learning to drive again!

Ill just keep it in the Auto position I think.

I know it's not quite the same but after using it with the steering wheel in racing games I've wondered if that would help getting used to it. Never driven a real one myself.

In the gaming I don't even think about it now, unless someone switches it to automatic, then it just feels weird and messes up my timing into corners.

Old dog new tricks, deal with it pops.

Take heart LRW, I've mastered my new smartphone (from a phone) and it just took a few days!

Shifting paddles should be a breeze in comparison.

[myownalias]

My car doesn't have flappy paddles or a clutch for that matter, but I have SST mode which allows me to shift manually, which gives better gas mileage because I change up at about 2000rpm instead the auto box's 3-3500rpm. Its still feels weird without a clutch even after driving an auto for the past five years.

Like learning to drive all over again!! Congrats on the new car by the way, looks lovely!

[Jabberwocky]

I found this hilarious. Which one are YOU? (or at least, closest to)

I am none of them, I am the person that keeps saying "What has he been in again?" and "Oh Look it is the woman from American Pie"

[stonemonkey]

Think I'm like Jabber, and maybe a little of the nit picker at times too.

Have a mate who sits and texts all the time when watching something. Really annoying to try to watch something with someone tapping away, so I'd hit pause whenever he picked up his phone, he didn't like that much.

Wish me luck, first autocross of the season tomorrow and it's supposed to his a balmy 39 degrees. (that's 4C for you slow folks) it's going to be like ice skatin' out there!

I had my first post-baby drinking session. First one in 3months. I am ruined.

Bloody Guinness.
