Posted January 8, 2012 Beating Jay at chess is quite an achievement, I was terrible compared to him. So erm looking at flats, found a few I really like, not in Cambridge mind, but that conversation is for another day. Took my jacket back to River Island, went into Newlook and roughly the same jacket was there for half the price, so I grabbed that and some decent boots for under 100quid . Huzzah. Until you know I got stuck in the carpark because I lost my pass thing and had to pay 6quid to get out...boo! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 9, 2012 Spent the last two days really refining my hybrid picking (a guitar technique where you use a pick as well as your middle and index finders) and written some pretty fantastic flowing arpeggios. First time I've felt a sense of accomplishment in months Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted January 9, 2012 As part of The Great Purge, I took a bunch of my games to CEX (still got 14 games here) and made £149.80, which I'm fairly chuffed with. They said I could've had £210ish if I did part-exchange, plus there was a lady who came in after me with a stack of dvds who they fobbed off, saying "we're not doing cash purchases today, only part-exchange. I win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 10, 2012 Yeah, it's a sad story, but the video I found almost funny due to the typical talent show editing/judges crying/asking questions about his past after being prompted to do so...if it was slightly more tongue in cheek it could've been a script for a spoof of talent show sob stories. Sad that it's true of course but the video was "...". I loved the judge's faces. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted January 10, 2012 I've just been told how my bonus will be done, and it seems pretty generous. Without giving figures. For every £X amount of profit we earn above £Y profit each month, I'll get a £Z bonus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
