...was a roaring success!
The shop was packed, and it was only by dedicated and concerted action by a whole bunch of us that chaos was avoided.
We will try to bounce off each other. I will promote the shop to my pupils, and offer a discount on driving lessons for people that do workshops at PSS, and will also link to the shop website from my site.
Bren will offer discounts to my pupils, and promote my school through her shop, and will link to my website through hers.
More later. It's been a busy day.

Barter II
So far no roofers have contacted me. I'm not that surprised to be honest. As was pointed out when I made my original barter post, the overlap between people who live on Wirral, people who are roofers, people who need driving lessons, and people who visit this blog is small.
I have a problem with my computer. It keeps on switching itself off without warning. More so on warm days like today. I have the case open, and a fan heater blowing (unheated) air straight at the CPU, and it still wants to overheat from time to time. According to BIOS, the cpu fan speed is 0, but I can see it going around.
So if there's a computer fixer living nearby that wants to sort it out in exchange for work of an equivalent value (more or less) please let me know.

Subliminal messages
To be able to do something properly, you need to be able to do it without consciously thinking about it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_stages_of_competence
So my job is sometimes to talk (and get my pupil to talk) about any old bollocks as long as it's nothing to do with the task at hand.
Hence, we might be driving down the road, and dealing with stuff, and if my pupil can do that while talking about football or the film they watched last night or whatever, that tells me a lot about where they're really up to.
And so it was that yesterday, my pupil, Ben, was driving home through Tranmere. It was about quarter past six in the evening.
"What would you like for tea?" I asked him.
Ben wasn't sure.
"In the best of all possible worlds", I added.
Ben was still uncertain. We drove along a bit further.
Eventually, he announced that he'd quite like Pizza.
We'd just driven past this defaced hoarding:
Ben, who'd been unconsciously, but diligently reading the road ahead, while consciously contemplating what he'd enjoy eating, was astounded when I pointed out what he'd just passed.

Update: The hoarding wasn't defaced at all. It was cunningly done that way to make people look at it. Just in case we weren't already aware of them.
I will definately not be buying my car insurance from these annoying bastards.

flash
looking for one of those online flash games.
I don't think it exists, but any game where you get to throw shit at David Cameron looks like a surefire winner.

Shit comedians
It's easy to say "I never really rated Jimmy Carr". today.
I always found his humour to be pretty peurile, regardless of what a selfish prick he turns out to be.
So just for the record, if it transpires that Frankie Boyle also thinks that being a millionaire entitles him to do such a thing, I won't be in the least bit surprised.
