A 'self drive' is a name used by tv/film crews for a local actor that is a bit too big for there britches. Usually a 'self drive' is only a small part of the production. However they demand far too much attention, are hard to please and take themselves far too seriously. They are a general pain in the ass for the costume, hair, make-up, props department and assistant directors who try to assist them. They are far more trouble than the principle actors that are driven to work by a cast driver.
"Just who the hell does that actorthink she is? I've altered her costume three times and she's still bitching. Fucking Self Drive."
"That Self Drive has caused me more grief in one day that the lead actors have in a month."

British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing peecalculus.
