Goafer Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Todays comedy highlights: Wendy the customer services lady: "I've had a request from a lady. Her daughter has shaved off part of her eyebrows and would like them photoshopped back in. Who wants to touch up this little girl?" *Childish sniggering, escalating to full blown, riotous laughter* *Exit Wendy* This one is only funny if you understand the type of person the owner of the company is. She is quite a posh, modern lady. Nice enough, but probably spends her weekends polishing her horses with a cravat made of caviar. And the horses are probably named after art galleries. Well, she sent around an email about the works Christmas do: Owners email: "I would like to apologise for the typo in the works do Email. It was not supposed to read Christmas Party, rather End of Term Party." My Boss' reply "I am not coming as "End of Term" is not in the Quran" Owners reply: "Ok, but no backpacks at work"
jayseven Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Ashley; so I've been (will have been) a mature student for, like, half of my degree?! I thought a mature student was generally 23+? Villan? how much have you researched into this? A specific college where you want to go, or whatever? Have you been there? Questioned staff? Current pupils? Talk to eddage, he's recently gone back into education (and as you can tell from his generally low attendance rate to this here forum, is extreeeemely busy with it), and it's well worth knowing everything you can.
Ashley Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I think it may be 21+ when you start. Because otherwise if you take a gap year (or do a sandwich course or the like) you'll end up as a mature student by the time you graduate.
Guest Stefkov Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Gears of War 2 on insane... well we seem to get through about 3 checkpoints each time we give it a go. Currently Carmine is running off and getting killed. Very annoying. When has Carmine never been killed? Ok, once before, but still. His brother shared the same fate so maybe the third Carmine, which is inevitable cos there will be a Gears 3, might consider taking a safer route. I've applied for a 'Japanese for Beginners' course that I saw earlier in the year (but I should tell them I'm not a complete beginner; I know Hiragana and Katakana!). Just want to say that the beginner course won't just be learning the scripts. It'll be learning sentence structure and grammar, etc. I did a beginner class last year and learned quite a bit My day consisted of going to the jobcentre, sitting down for a few minutes and then leaving. Bought some milk, went back to the flat and had Coco Pops for brunch. Oh yes.
Roostophe Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Villan? how much have you researched into this? A specific college where you want to go, or whatever? Have you been there? Questioned staff? Current pupils? Talk to eddage, he's recently gone back into education (and as you can tell from his generally low attendance rate to this here forum, is extreeeemely busy with it), and it's well worth knowing everything you can. I'll just be honest: I haven't researched anything into this just yet. It was a spur-of-the-moment thing. Of course I'll be doing some research into it. As for colleges. Hmm. A couple of colleges - including my nearest one in Sutton Coldfield - have merged to create a form of super-college called Birmingham Metropolitan College. That looks like to be the one.
jayseven Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 Carmine is the saviour of Gears 2. I rememeber countless occasions where me and Shorty are shouting at the screen for Carmine to Do His Thing and revive us. But this one section (underground, after you've met the worms... er... can't describe it) he just runs down the slope and gets killed too close to the enemies for us to save him (on insane!!). Villan; then continue to stew on the thoughts for a bit. Don't rush - you're only 20. You have at least a couple of years before you need to panic about anything. You lazy, jobless good-for-nothing, you.
Roostophe Posted November 25, 2009 Posted November 25, 2009 I am still rather young, and I am still rather sexy, but I'm now thinking I'd best start doing something with my life. Since school, I've done nothing. Plus it took me 2 1/2 years before I started job hunting. I was doing NUFFINK, now I think I should start doing SUMFINK. You lazy, jobless good-for-nothing, you. That's me. Since 1989.
bluey Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 ARGH!!!!! i forgot to bring my painkillers and antibiotics to work... so i've gone comlpetely fucking insain. i think i'm holding it in pretty well but EVERYTHING is pissing me off so much i could SCREAM. like the people around me needing to give a running commentary of whatever the fuck they're doing in the game?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!! ...does this mean i'm addicted to painkillers?? or am i just in a coincidentally shit mood?
jayseven Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Addicted. Totally running late because I woke up early and thought I had loads of time so went on THE INTERNET and now, while I have time to make this post, I don't have time to shower before my 8-hour shift. I am going to have cartoon stink lines.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAK!!!! ...does this mean i'm addicted to painkillers?? or am i just in a coincidentally shit mood? Cheer up chuck! If you're ill, then you need your meds and the fact you're feeling crap without them is understandable. Can't you nip home on lunch and grab them? EDIT - *Checks time of post.* Fail.
EEVILMURRAY Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 The NHS are bullshitting me this time. I normally have a form [called HC2], which - because I don't earn enough - entitles me to free meds [and free dental and optician shizzle too on the side, but the main thing is the meds]. This needs to be renewed every year. This time though after asking for a shitload of payslips [they don't normally ask for this much], they send me a HC3 form. This doesn't entitle me to free meds, merely gives me discount on other things, which I really don't care about. I'm going to have to cut down my meds if they end up costing too much.
Pookiablo Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Ugh, fed up. Too much on my mind. Feeling guilty about something that I dunno if I should be feeling guilty about it. Can't get it off my mind. Trying to do uni work and failing miserably. Want battenburg

Cube Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 I'm currently waiting for a few hundred rolls of a specialised nylon to arrive (200m per roll). Then I'll have to help pull them in and send out 50 rolls straight away.
Pookiablo Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 whats wrong youve put me in the mood for battenburg! (lovely stuff!) Would be nice to have some (combined with your lovely company would make it even better too ). I dunno, not sure if I should go into specifics on such a public medium. It's rather tricky to explain...plus I'm not sure if bringing the mood down is good.

Pookiablo Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 Dude, how many times do I have to tell you? The Holocaust wasn't your fault. Strangely enough it does have something to do with someone dying, lol.
Chris the great Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 video games live was EPIC. seriosuly, great atmosphere, everyone was sharing childhood memories and a love of gaming. there was so much to talk about there, i'll just say, when one winged angel started up, the crowd went wild. mini adventure heading home, broke down in a McD's car part, some couple kept flishing lights at us, and hanging around, after 10 mins we realised there were doging! it was rather funny, they really wanted us to join by the looks of things. when the rescue van turned up, they were gone like a shot. the mechanic laughed heartily, though sadly didnt slap his thigh.

I thought being epileptic entitled you to free meds? (or you could cut down on alcohol which causes your problem in the first place? no?)
Coolness Bears Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 My day: Audio Why has it been stressful?
Daft Posted November 26, 2009 Posted November 26, 2009 What is this? I want more Justice - Stress From their album †. If you like them try Danger. 09/14 2007 and 09/16 2007. Although I'm not sure you can use Spotify in Germany. Why has it been stressful? Lots of little things. Late leaving the house in the morning. Really windy, making cycling such a chore. Having to photocopy 300 pages odd for the class. Printer not having paper. Printer screwing up. Printer not printing. I'm chilled now. Just needed a bit of calm.
