Most people won’t be testing themselves anymore. I have a few tests left over that I got from work but the vast majority of people will just put symptoms down to a cold and will likely only test if they end up going to hospital.

In the UK it’s pretty standard to learn in a manual. I currently have an automatic and honestly I don’t want to go back. I like to think I’m a pretty good driver and gears were never an issue for me, but man is it nice to have one less thing to think about when driving.

Oh and I’m 39.

Not at all. I have only owned the one automatic though so I can speak for all of them. I have a Volvo V60 D3 and the acceleration from standing is pretty damn good.

Excuse me? I stated a fact. The person I was replying to started by implying that elite sports people want to be rich. The article is about elite sports people being below the poverty line. These are two separate things.

If someone is an elite sports person they sacrifice a huge amount to get where they are. They are paraded around by TV networks, media, their government, their team/association. I’m pretty sure all those people benefiting from the personal sacrifices and hard work of the athletes aren’t living below the poverty line.

There is a difference between being rich and being above the poverty line.
