Studge suffers from English footballer syndromeIn that he is half decent but no where nears as good as the press made him out to be and significantly worse then he thinks he is. He also has a tendency to let his head go down if playing badly, And I also assume he is colour blind as he would rarely find someone in a blue shirt (or red now)

She may not be able to book a test that soon.Most learning about driving comes after you have a licence - the test only really makes sure you can make it go and not hit stuff.
I don't imagine confidence would be a problem for someone comfortable with removing their clothes in a room full of strangers.

Except the last time I went, two years ago, when I had a lovely time and everyone was friendly and polite.
I missed the chance of seeing Chuck Berry live back in '93, so I'd probably say him.
