The Off Topic Thread & Off Topic Thread II - Collectors Edition Bumper Pack

Only thing is I dont do downloads either, I HATE watching vids online. hence i have a stupidly large DVD collection.

Bounty Hunter

have to admit I booked TDK for sturday for what was considerd/called a VIP ticket. it costs 17.50 but for it you are in a same sized cinema which only has 8 rows of big leather recliner seats with mucho leg-room. The price also includes popcorn and your choice of A) a large drink a glass of whine or C) Nachos. I think the normal price is around 9.50

Never going there again since ticket+popcorn+drink cost me €20.

It is expensive, but I tend not to get food. Usually I just pay the €9 for the ticket, which is about a euro more expensive than anywhere else but far more comfortable IMO. Screen 1 is huge as well, so I think it's worth it.

I used to be the same but DVD rips are widely available, cant mention where on here or anything but perfect dvd quality and often available while the movies are still in the cinema as the DVD might be out in the US. They are around 700MB per movie so ive a hell of a lot of multiple movie dvds burned that I either watch on my laptop or the bro's PS3

I've about 80 movies stored on a PC i use as a file server and stream them through my Xbox to the TV/Surround downstairs.

Priceless - one of the best features of the Xbox.

Morning Neil, how are you? Everytime I hear Dark Knight mentioned, I think of Dirk Kuyt. Dirk's definitely no super hero though in fairness. Well maybe that one that Ardal O'Hanlon plays in My Hero. But even that's at a stretch.

drinking for the first time in a month and then regretting it when i visit the gym, sporting the new bayern kit (which is the same as last years but with an extra star and a different year on the bundesliga logoset)... which i got a day before they lost a game... which is traditional for me when i buy a jersey. i have a sports curse...

Super thanks for askin! Workin today for a change, bosses arent too happy with me after the exams so Ive gotta "go the extra mile"!

Dirk Kuyt could hardly be described as dark!?!! He could be called the fair knight?! And I agree.... he's no superhero!

Yeah, but it works for me.

Not much on this weekend. League match tonight but i'm going to miss the start of it cause of my commute.
Weekend of chilling after that. Should probably get a haircut and definately have to get some new clobber for work, but i think i'll leave that for another weekend.

Was thinking of heading to the pictures tomorrow night. Any reccommendations??:D

Might go to the Gah on sunday cause a mate is playing (Ulster Final) but i'll wait and see the weather first i think.

Meh, I'm due to work until the 31st, but the wages due to me, plus the redundancy package are all in my bank...

So, really, I suppose it is.

What's the point in coming in next week, not as if they can take the money back is it?

Morning. Tell ye what, it's difficult to get up for 10am and crawl to my laptop and start working. In fact since I've apparently been working, I've made 2 boiled eggs, taken a long sh1te, checked all my subscribed threads on boards, checked my Bebo and am now considering a shower.

REPEAT (God I hate that word right now! :P)



My boss wants to have a "talk" about the "results and other things" this afternoon. Beating a dead horse at this stage but sure if it makes him ahppy. Cant wait

What were the exams for??? College?

ShiverinEskimo

I'm guessing CIMA or ACCA or other financial type exams?

Had a hard time gettin into the lifestyle of studying after workin all day. Learned a lot though so touch wood I get by the repeast and Ill be in a better spot starting off next year.

One thing I will say is don't go to Old Trafford during study leave for a CL Semi final...very distracting! You lose more than the day or 2 you're over tbh. 2 of my mates in my course are repeating as well.....they went to the Wigan game.......just a thought!

Yea well i heard they are an absolute beatch to pass. Friend is a chartered accountant and at one stage thought she'd never get through them all. Pay u sh!t money and work you hard is the employers motto i heard.

Yea theyre very tough tbh. The lectures are on Saturdays and Sundays so its hard 1) to go to them all. 2) to stay in the ones you go to, 3) to avoid being hungover at them and 4) to maintain attention all day after working your 5 day week. Pretty unforgiving stuff. I mean the pass rate is 50 and I got 49 in 2 of them so they won't pass you by giving you the last mark like they would in college.

And yea they pay u pretty crappy wages and you get worked hard. Im a seasoned work dodger tho so I just have them convinced Im a slow worker!! :P Its harder when you're not striving to become an accountant. I'm in it for the qualification as it opens so many doors for you without you having to become just an accountant. Some of the lads I work with are all about becomming accountants. Im all about passing the exams, doing my time, and shaggin off on my travels! Need to work on that!

ShiverinEskimo wrote: »

Don't judge, we're all work dodgers in here!

What I meant is obviously being in the office all day, going home to study after that is pretty tough. Im always hyperactive and usually go to training!

Absolutely but in terms of study time lost it cost me:

About 2-3 days before it as I was organising it, making phone calls, getting phone calls etc. I was getting 2 tickets and was trying through 4 different contacts as well as trying to sort another mate out as well. Id be studying but stopping every 10 minutes or so ya know?

The 2 days between the day goin over and the day coming back.

And then about 3-4 days of highly unproductive study after while the excitment died down. Add to that my mug gettin on the TV so pretty much everyone I know knew Id been at it and was comin over to the desk I sit at to talk to me about it! I know a lot of people up in the library as it is and I cant study at home!! catch 22!

I think the football run in in general had me very distracted tbh!



Wouldn't change it for anything tho! Great night!


And this time I should have no distractions so fingers crossed! :P

I know - nobody that frequents this Thread can hardly accuse people of dodging work. I just think its funny that you keep saying you're working when, in fact, you're just not.
