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

Charlie

Anyone here listen to Brazilian electro indie band CSS (Cansei de Ser Sexy). Got into them recently and they are a real change of pace from what you usually here out there. Big thumbs up from me.

Now now Al, just cos YOU don't like them, and a thread with 6 replies (not all of which are giving out) doesn't like them, doesnt mean its sh1te!

In fact, Ive seen mostly positive reviews from the experts (who would be those who make a living writing music reviews)

They're the first 4 links that came up when I googled it. Hardly slated!

What's an "ot" beers?

Sounds suspiciously like Dmitri would be there.

Therefore I couldn't be.

Off topic beers would be my guess??

Ever get the feeling its going to be a long day, ive got that feeling!

ShiverinEskimo

Every day is a long day where I work. Trouble is I'm lucky to have a job at all so people keep telling me I shouldn't complain. Bastards.

My 'Robinho 10' shirt arrived in the post today. Good times!

Mr Alan

you're such a little jersey whore!:D

Des-i got that text at 10.40.

Lads, serious question.

If a job rings you asking about the salary you'd be targetting and they say at the end that someone will contact you next week. When would you expect them to ring? That was Friday and still haven't got a call. Getting a bit worried now because my notice in my current place is done in 2 weeks. I got a good reference from the people I know etc in the place im targetting. But just a tad worried.

Xavi6

Call them tomorrow afternnon explaining the situation regarding your notice. Certainly don't leave it over the weekend.

Necronomicon

+1 to ringing them, a friend of mine was in a similar situation a few months back. He rang the company, turned out they couldn't get onto him as quickly as they thought because of an issue with the position.

Grand, I'll do that so. It's wierd because what happened was I work for a mortgage brokers and we deal with this bank quite a bit. They heard people were being let go and called me first seeing if I was interested etc. Have had 3 calls in total and the last being about the salary on Friday & the lady that called me said would it be ok if someone contacted me next week. I was expecting a call Monday or Tuesday.. hmm.. I'll go with what you lads said and give them a buzz tomorrow.

Beers amongst the OT thread folk, tho soccer beers is a better call!

Dimitri was a spy from the GAA forum sent to infiltrate us soccer folk and take the forum down!

Highly unlikely we'll see that wanka ever again...I hope!

Afternoon gents, have a few lolz:

ShiverinEskimo

I'm going to have to get my arse up to Dublin for one of these boards/soccer/ot beers nights.

Although let it be noted that I do object to the fact that venues outside Dublin (such as the taun) are rarely considered.

John Mason

ShiverinEskimo

The church of scientology were looking for people I hear.

John Mason

I dunno Al, u had some collection of filth built up by the time I left! You probably bought the DVD and then forgot about it! Though I wouldnt be suprised if it was Rocheys either!!

Funny that, I had the very best of Dire Straits on in the car on the way to work this morning....needed a change as all Ive listened to all month is 3 new albums (Slipknot, Metallica and Kings of Leon)....great stuff.

Well I guess I can't complain, I've only just started so hopefully the situation will be better in two years! I'm getting great money doing tutorials but unfortunately it's a mere dent out of my fees.

I'll probably have to get some sort of McJob in an office for 18 months before the industry can start to turn around again.
