Oh yea, I'm a Mechanical Engineer by day, bad amatuer footballer at the weekends and Dundalk FC fan 24/7........... Haven't heard any of those adverts recently..

Something similar here....well i mean in the work wise, i dont do nothing with Dundalk.
Moved to England because of the afore mentioned lack of jobs. More a mechanical/industrial designer......but i have been pigeon holed in a muck job, in a completely muck office (coincidentally,a completely different office than the open plan, bright, well air-conditioned one they showed me when i was being interviewed!)
Hence why my post count is increasing by the hour.

Young Alan there said he'd send me the DVD.

I've never seen it, and I asked if it was the type of thing I should watch with you, or with a bunch of lads.

So what do we all do?

Jobwise at the moment, nothing. Career wise, i have less then no idea. So far just been getting qualifications and a few months experience and then moving on. By the end of August they'll include degree in Business information systems, Masters in Multimedia and ...snowboard instructor! Really depressing though haven't a fukin notion what to do or where to do it...



Kudos on the Princess Bride incidentally, awesome movie.

He hasn't sent it yet, but he owes me from a bet, so I said he can send me the DVD instead.

its a movie for those with class, style, panache, those who's character contains a certain 'je ne sais qua'......and kids.

Hence why my post count is increasing by the hour.

I had actually started contacting companies in London to try and get something, but just got lucky last week and got an interview on Tuesday in Belfast.
even if i don't like the new job it will have to be better than the current role. I would compare my current boss (MD of the company as well) to Joe Stalin. He used to have the tache and all but he got rid of it. Someone probably mentioned that the similariites were too great.

Plan is to stay in the new company as a Mechanical Building Services Eng for about a year and then request an overseas move, as they have offices all over. Have my eye on Vancouver, but anywhere in Canada, Argentina or Australia will do for me.

gucci

Yeah i curse the day I got into component and product design and not building services....well no not really! when i get an interesting job its great to be able to shut out everything and work.
But building services at the moment will give you massive options to travel. London should be destination number 1, ass load of building etc for the olympics.

Exact same thing happened to my mate when we graduated. Tried a 10, then a 9, then a 7. I think he went for the seven after the nine so he'd need to ask for a bigger size to regain some of his digity but the even the 7 was a little big. He bough them and wore football socks under his suit that night.

I love Fridays. The International Rules series got confirmed for Perth, I got a ticket to go see Death Cab For Cutie in August and it's a long weekend :cool:

ibh

Yea saw that the rules series was confirmed. Used to be a fan of it but I have become very sceptical in recent years. Hopefully it'll be better this year. Should be good to see if Ireland select most of the Oz based players. Especially Clarke who is a fcuking animal.

You must be the man to ask!

Is there many good players in the AFL who are Irish and should be in the Irish squad?

Sherifu

It's Fritzl Friday again so fast.

Tadhg Kennelly, Martin Clarke and Colm Begley for definite. They're professionals and bound to be fitter than the amateur Irish players. Plus they're used to the roughness of the Aussie lads.

Setanta O'hAilpin probably will play but imo he shouldn't as it's not really a game for big players like him i.e. the Aussies never usually bring any of their 6ft8ins monsters, preferring shorter, quicker players.

Other than that the rest are all too young really to be considered.

Mr Alan

went ot a dance recital in dun laoighre last night.

one of the part time girls in my workplace was in it and a couple of us went out.

you Mr. A, there are certain things you should just keep to yourself

Mr Alan

strange how i should keep going to a dance recital to myself, but giving out about my new chair yesterday was acceptable

I'm only back in my apartment for a couple of hours, I'm heading away at 3, down the country for a weekend away from my gf the weekend.

First time in 9 years I've been to the dentist.

1 small filling required only.

Did they clean your teeth?

Man, I love that feeling.

whatever!!!!!!! see if i care.

Sherifu

Sexual tension lingers.

ShiverinEskimo

They did indeed Des. I've got that sparkly feeling throughout. Forgotten what that felt like.

The best bit is that I didn't have to pay - had I know this PPS number stuff pays for the old checkeroos I'd have been a regular.

_blank_

Yep, I go once around every six months, I'm due again actually.

Everyone should do it.

Brush twice a day, and use a mouthwash. My teeth are perfect, if not a little bit stained from nicotine and black tea.

ShiverinEskimo

In nine years I've brushed my teeth religously twice a day. I rarely use mouthwash.

I have a grand set of choppers aside from this 1 filling. I don't smoke, but I do drink a lot of milky tea.

Job done - it had been that long I was expecting root-canals and dental surgery and the like. Thankfully I've been let off. Here on in I'll be paying regular visits.
