    Well the price included the flights and hotels and that, which i'm sure cost quite a lot to stay in.
    I'm sure it could have been cheaper, but I wasn't paying and it was a package holiday thing so i'm sure the company we did it with took a good cut of that money as well.

    Nice photographs. Vacation worth spent in Egypt. Now I think you are refreshed back from the tour and ready to face the webmaster activity head on?

    Yep, i'm ready to get back into things now. Just i'd like to be back on my own computer (at my parents house atm).

    Got a bunch of things to do though, not just on webmaster stuff either...:/
    Need to enquire about a job at a web design company that i'm 80% sure i've got over summer. I've pretty much finished this year of uni now and i'm seeing if I can start now rather than in a few months.
    Need to redesign and recode my site.
    Need to rebuild links to my site as traffic seems to have dropped from 1000+ daily to 750+ daily in the 2 weeks i've been away :/
    Need to book some driving lessons and my test soon too...
    And more.

    Meh i'll do it all in time (but i've been saying this for a good few months now).

    It's 17. I'm 19.

    You have to pass a theory test then within 2 years of that pass the practical.

    I've been driving since I was 17, just never passed the test yet (university getting in the way a lot, me moving to a new home, etc). I've done the theory, just the practical I need to do by August or I have to resit the theory.

    I started driving when I was 17 but the law here is 18... once I became 18 I never bothered with a license... went on driving till 19 and I got busted (for wrong parking) on a thursday night... and since friday is a holiday in muslim states I had to spend two nights and one day in jail... thoroughly learnt my lesson :(

    well why'd we let it get that way? can't we just have accents that are different, but the same language?

    you can smoke near enough anywhere. Think they might complain if it was at a gas station, but thats about it.
    You can drink anywhere...they were selling beer on the street for you to take away and drink while walking along, so I assume it's legal...although alcohol was quite expensive there.
