A bad time, boy

Rally GB ends with a strong Hirvonen win and a championship title for Loeb, who is now equaling Tommi Mäkinen's record of four consecutive wins. Although Latvala did retire on day one he restarted on the second day to post fastest times on every single stage that day, reminding everyone that he may be out but he will not be forgotten. And while Gronholm concedes first place he still helps win the Ford team the manufacturers title with a blistering 212 points over Citroen's 183.
An absolutely excellent season overall, and I'm very much looking forward to next year's WRC. The only problem being that it looks like Loeb will find very little opposition with Gronholm's retirement, leaving Hirvonen and possibly fellow Citroen driver Daniel Sordo as seemingly the only other drivers capable of providing anything like a consistent challenge.

In my own driving experiences I had my second driving lesson today, despite getting very little practice during my first lesson I actually found all the movements very natural and did everything without having to put much thought into it, I could even hold it stationary on a hill relatively easily with just the clutch control.
Things got a bit more complicated when I started tackling turning onto junctions with busy traffic, and I need to slow down a bit around roundabouts, even though I never break the speed limit or put myself in a dangerous position, I don't exactly hang around.

In theatre, I have recently been watching some Bond films. First off with the excellent and all time best GoldenEye, which is simply fantastic in every respect. That was followed by Die Another Day, which while starting out brilliantly, steadily worsens as the film progresses. Next up is the most recent and brilliant Casino Royale, although I would have preferred dropping some of the drawn out casino sections in favor of lengthening the car chase, which consists of an adrenaline pumping start before turning about two corners where he flips the car into oblivion.
I'm also going to have to watch Black Hawk Down again sometime soon, as I get excited about the possibilty of recieving Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare for Wintersday I have been put in a very middle-eastern military mood.

I also completed Assassin's Creed today, and as much as I enjoyed it, it most definitely had the worst ending to any game or story I have ever encountered, almost entirely because it just drops off into nothingness, ensuring that I will be buying the next game.
