Failed a 2nd year (compulsory) module, which got removed from the course the following year so I had to take a new 2nd year module which was similar to another 2nd year module I had previously gotten a 1st in. So I didn't bother learning any of the material, and spent the 2nd semester of my 3rd year pretty much not doing anything at all. Now I am doing 60 credits worth of modules as a part time student; 20 of which is retaking that 2nd year module because of its compulsory status, again that module is capped at 40%. The other 40 credits are just so they can make me pay more money, but also the idea is I will finish altogether with 280 credits, leaving more room to pick and choose the final 200-or-so credits that will go towards my degree score. Effectively the extra credits I am doing this year can drag my overall grade up to a possible 1st, but probably 2:1. Which is good because I have a bitch of a friend who got a 2:2 who perpeptually says "well at least I finished my degree" whenever we argue. My course is English Studies (combi of lit/lang/creative writing), and the module I failed is 18th century literature and romanticism. I am resitting, essentially, a single semester, spread over two. And I hate it, and want to die, but thank you for asking P.S. Bacon curry is a great idea

Currently attained 57/69 stars. Got alpha and bravo complete, need wardriving (should be easy co-op) and terminal (not impossible just takes ages), snatch and grab (just got to be patient. Nearly did it solo - might still do if I get a chance to have a crack at it tonight) and two of the echo operations to do - Wetwork will be alright in co-op, but that one where you have to kill 10 juggernaughts with explosives/knives... surely impossible!

Realised I have a kilo of bacon, so I had a bacon sarnie for brunch, and dinner will be a bacon bolognaise! Going to be epic! Spent the day playing MW2 special ops with a workmate, managed to get 12 extra stars (57/69 now i think!). A housemate is avoiding another one as he owes him for council tax/electricity bills. I'm the other in the trio that has to pay the tax, and effectively it's my neck, too, which may be in trouble if the boy don't pay. Uni tomorrow! The module I've failed twice/capped at 40 for. Not really 'feeling it'.

DuD: no, bruise means you set out to injure the opposition :P Tactically if you think their reserves are shit and the ref isn't harsh you can basically try to gain a skill advantage that way. But it's MEAN!
-
Pretty sure that'll be fine, I've effectively done that with my xbox and the housemate's a few times. Just make sure they're signed in and it should be good. Only issue would be if the demo is for Gold members and he's not. I guess he'd have to wait a week!

Terminal, scrapyard, highrise are my favourites for deathmatch and free-for-all. Quite enjoy favela and that-rainy-one-with-the-buildings are good for domination, too. Hate the trainyard snow one because I've not got a sniper class. Hate afghan on team but tolderate it on free-for-all.

- Wintastic. - Still not conceded a goal - Dud didn't even have a chance in the game - Manager of teh round 2/3 rounds so far! - Surprisingly annoyed at the Bruising tactics. Injured three of my players. Not cool, DuD. Next game is against Mundi, who I've never beaten. I've been winning narrowly at home and unable to do anything away. This middle league is fierce. To think I still have Dyson and Jaffa Munchers to play! Each point counts. I don't expect to stay top for very long at all!
-
Jolly good. Just about woke up in time to set tactics! Frightful, hate them, going to lose. DuD's team is actually quite scary!
-
Stoopid question; does the riot shield eventually, like, die and shit? Aside; 44 of 69 stars on Spec Ops now. Co-op makes several a hell of a lot easier. Now unlocked Echo -- The juggernaught one is all I've tried and my workmate didn't, in my opinion, have the best tactics for it. Will try/fail it alone later.

We had a couple of mice at the old shared flat. The first one... I nearly trod on its dead body on VALENTINES DAY. nami and I proceeded to bury it in the nearby park with a knife. Marked the tree with a tiny cross, or something. Later we had another one - nami and shorty made a clever humane mouse trap from thread, a toothpick, a tuppaware box and a tray. One late night I was in the kitchen making a sandwich and the trap went -- I turn to see the little fella (absolutely tiny) darting from 'wall' to 'wall' in the trap. Worried he was going to knock himself out, I tried to give him a bit of food to chill with -- stupid idea, he darts for it and I slam the 'lid' down, obv. causing his thence-trapped head to squeal and squeal, which made me, too, squeal in empathy. Yeah. Mice are cute and all that, but generally if you had one in your forever home you'd want rid of it. Student living, you don't mind so much.

So nostalgia/gossip thread it is! Can I take this chance to talk about things that happened before 90% of you joined? - Domstercool's old 'guess the game' quiz - The forum Quiz. That needs to come back in some sort of organised form. - LaIkMoSh, in general - IRC taking off (like, years ago now I guess) - All of the 'uprisings' and bannings. A laugh to be had - After a year-ish break, returning to the forums as 'Teh_Emo' and having people who previously hated me not noticing and liking me. Should probably do the whole thing again... - Whenever I was involved in a debate/argument, I'd look forward to logging on and adding some more boo-ya. Generally this happens no more, as other posters are smarter/faster. - The london and sheffield Meets were great fun. - Stuff - Things - Too many little moments that, ultimately, have defined each member involved. I'm happy having them flash through my mind Chuck-style rather than telling you.

Geek :P Forgot most of my day and this is my diary so I HAVE to unleash. Last night was an 80's themed night out for a workmate's birthday. I didn't bother dressing up (was too hungover to go on the pre-agreed attire-attaining shopping trip earlier sat), but glad because I was first at the pub for 10 mins and wouldn't have liked looking a tit all by myself. Everyone else looked AWESOME. One guy had a handlebar tache... brilliant. ... But I generally felt left-out. Nobody cares about me (in general, I know) enough to ask questions, and I don't really have any routine anecdotes to win them over with, but that's fine! I drank, enjoyed the night, then left early for being emo, and wanting SOME sleep before... This morning's unbelievably early staff meeting. Most people there had gone out the night before. We got to be bored with a 90 minute presentation about how The Company Rox, then we had a nice ceremony thing, where everyone, one by one, received a short speech about why they were awesome along with a 'smiles voucher'. I have no idea what it is, but I am supposedly "customer view king". Sometimes the view is, truly, king. Or something. Also work found my hearing aid!!! HASSLE IS GONE!! So very pleased. Currently cooking some sausage and bacon casserole - but I have no mash so I'm just going to Man Through. With My Fingers.

No he won't have a major role, as far as I know it's billed as a stallone/Li/Statham flick, with the other Generic Bad Guys being generic baddies, and Bruce and Arnold having somewhat cameolithic roles. I don't know if that's a word. I imagine Steve Austin and Couture will be annoying unacting pieces of crap, but I don't care. EXPLOSIONS!
-
No, the stallone-directed testosterone fest, which stars Stallone, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Stone-cold Steve Austin, Jet Li, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, Dolph Lundgren, Trejo, Schwartzenegger, and EXPLOSIONS. (and charisma carpenter) It's the film to end all films. Nobody will ever recognise even a shred of story. STALLONE SCHWARTZENEGGER AND WILLIS IN THE SAME MOVIE! Powerthirst cinimatographied.

Can I ban talking about Avatar yet? Or at least make y'all a new thread for this infinite loop?
-
steph; honestly, "they haven't realised" and "I've tried bringing it up" sounds like you haven't said the "he has to pay a share of the bills if he's staying here again" line. We've got a guy who stays here for a couple of days from time to time and he chips in without us even asking, be it buying us all KFC or booze, doing the washing up, etc. When I stayed in leeds for six weeks I split the bills evenly. Just. Say. The. Words.

Soo... Did I miss the excitement for The Expendables in this thread?

OOOOh I was meant to tell y'all about my awesome dream! Three hour afternoon nap was a non-stop lucid dream! OF HORROR! I couldn't wake up, literally. You seen Waking Life? Yeah, like that. I genuinely thought I was dead at one point, after I thought I was crazy. I'd wake up and go in the lounge, tell my housemates I think I'm going crazy, then they'd be all suspicious... then a cat would walk on the ceiling and I knew it was a dream, so I'd jump out the window not caring about the river below etc etc etc. Was just such an emotional dream. I've hurried a lot of it into word and will definitely be using/stealing the premise for my Digital Fiction coursework. Waking Life, Sliders, Quantum Leap, Scanner Darkly, ExistenZ all rolled into one. THANK YOU CHEESE!

Ashley; chronological! Or do it based on black/white ratio. :| Jimbob; yah, don't do anything. Ask them for written proof, and don't give them your address just say that they/vodafone already have it. Don't budge. Steph; it's your house, you're allowed to have some say in the matter. At least demand he chips into bills and does stuff round the house. Or just invite someone to stay for two weeks and tell them to be as annoying as possible.

Happy birthday to a fine pair of posters

Oooh controversy! Well I am a guilt-ridden individual so if I'm facing that situation I feel really bad and apologise to the bus driver before I even ask for the fare, then offer them altertives like "I can get the change when I get off it it's easier for you?" sort of stuff. The situations are sometimes unavoidable, but he was clearly having a bad day.

Hax fixes ftw. Reaching climax of my spec ops single player skillz. Got 38 stars, refusing to do anything below Vet (... except for a couple of 1-star missions my housemate did). FINALLY found someone willing to help me co-op them, which is great news.
-
I love that show too much. Saw each boxset for £10 in a cash converters a few months ago and was soooo tempted. Really wish I had just gone for it.

My manager skill is atrocious, 65777 of 74470. Very bad.

DuD I'm genuinely afraid of our game more than any game so far... To whoever was playing a 4-skill keeper -- honestly you're never going to get any luch with that. I think the GK is the one position you should just fork out for on the transfer market, because tehre is little place for any below 6 in these leagues to gain experience and not cost you all three points. (my official team 'only' lost 2-1. I was expecting to get properly thrashed and played a half-hearted team and did alright. I should aim for more, methinks.)
