    Thanks everyone. :-) I failed. Gutted. It was nerves. I completely effed up my hill start and most of my pulls away were sponsered by Skippy the Bush Kangaroo. Never been an issue before. Purely nerves. Have rebooked for 23rd and ordered valium...
    Man has always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much...the wheel, New York, wars and so on...while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time.

    But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man...for precisely the same reason.

    I feel for you Florentine.

    Sounds like your reaction to it is a positive one, well done.

    Good luck for the 23rd.

    The promised land isn't far away.

    Gutted for you but at least you know what to expect next time round. Good luck.
    When it's your time to go it's your time, so don't let it catch you.

    Sorry to hear that Florentine. The whole experience of the test is thoroughly unpleasant, and something I hope I'll never have to repeat- it's a nice ride ruined!
    Nerves...that's all it was down to....damn you nerves! ! (Shaking fist)
    The very best of luck to you for the 23rd

    Stay positive - As it sounds that you are.
    The best riders don't pass first time - believe me I know.
    You haven't failed - you've just defered the pass date for when the weather is better.
    Good luck on the 23rd - and keep smiling!

    Stick at it. It's well worth the nerves.

    Well, I took the test again last week and failed again. It's still nerves. I can ride fine when I'm not being tested. Gutted :-(

    Sorry to hear that Florentine- the tests really suck if you suffer from nerves (which I also did).
    Don't get down....you know you can do it...and next time....you'll av it!!
