Doesn't take much effort to have a plan. I've always had plenty of plans. :P The road to hell and all that.ShawnRaven wrote: »Well you have your sh*t planned out, so you're obviously not entirely a lazy sh*t in that regard.

You're worse than my missus when she was doing her HDip a couple of years ago, she was complaining about the same.
Ah not so bad.Ours is the opposite. Each essay style question has to be about half an A4 page of all killer no filler as far as answers are concerned. Times like that, I wish i hadn't opted to type the exams as i could easy cut that down with my handwriting, but my handwriting has been sh*te ever since i severly fractured my wrist in a mountain biking accident when I was 15. Took about six months to learn to write again, but it was never the same.
Can't imagine having to learn to write again. Like I've said before I've been going months at a time over the last few years without writing a single thing, but my speed seems to be just the same as it always was. Don't think it's gotten any worse, but it was horrible to begin with.
Only thing I had ever had to learn again was to breathe through my nose. Especially when sleeping. After 3 years and 5 or 6 breaks I finally got it fixed. Having to breathe through my mouth all night every night left my with all kinds of problems with my nose and throat which have pretty much disappeared thank Christ.
Well I'm going for medicine, "passing it" isn't going to cut it. And is there actually a way to "fail" the LC or does it just refer to not being able to get into college?I regret not working harder on my LC now, buuut I passed and didn't study one bit (well, I did study physics which I ended up failing
) so it's not too hard to at least pass it. Never understood why it stresses people so much, surely that does more harm than good.
Do it the ****.Any of you lot vote today? Im feeling lazy, but bored at the same time so I might just go down and do it.
I voted, all three, county, town and European elections. Kept up my trend in voting in everything since I turned 18, hope to keep it going for as long as possible. I think it's really sad how few people do vote.0 -

Well that's it, safety nets and all that, but you'd be surprised, nay shocked at the amount of people who have neither plans, or something to fall back on.Starting to think maybe you found a good one to marry. :pac:
She's the complete opposite of me. In other words, she's sane.
Ah not so bad.

Learning to write again in the middle of my Inter Cert year, quite frankly was a c*nt. If the exams weren't enough pressure on a 15 year old as it was, without being criticised for your handwriting to add to it. Few of the teachers had any time or sympathy, not that i was looking for any but a little understanding would have gone a long way. I did f*ck all work, barely passed the subjects due to lack of interest, walked out of exams about 5 minutes into the preceedings and did everything i could to spite every teacher who gave me grief. Because nothing pisses a teacher off knowing that one of their better students gives them the proverbial middle finger.
Hindsight is 20/20, and it probably wasn't the best thing to do long term for the sake of my own future. But i got into IT at the start of the boom and did pretty well out of it. I have few regrets, but screwing up my education is one of them. Which is why i'm rectifying that mistake now.

At the same time, you can understand how discouraging to vote in independents to avoid Fianna Failure from getting the vote, only to find that they ended up getting it one way or another.
I'm sick and tired also of being talked down to by some snot nosed 18 year old kid telling me i've no right to complain if i don't vote. I've got the guts of 15 years worth of taxpaying contributions that tell me otherwise, while that kid is lucky if he has 15 days worth. 0 -
She just keeps getting better and better!:pac:ShawnRaven wrote: »She's the complete opposite of me.
I had a little chuckle to myself today after the maths paper. On the way out I met my old maths teacher who was talkin to her 6th years about the paper. She asked how I did and I said "Fairly bad, about 80%." All the lads just looked either surprised or p*ssed off that I was saying 80% was bad, she just had a little smile at their reaction. :P She knows right well I should be gettin 95%+ if I had tried properly.Learning to write again in the middle of my Inter Cert year, quite frankly was a c*nt.

Aye, I'd be voting Fine Gael in the next general election, but that would mean Labour also get in. Which is more than a little annoying. Sometimes when people tell me their logic for voting the way they are I think that maybe less people should be allowed vote. :PAt the same time, you can understand how discouraging to vote in independents to avoid Fianna Failure from getting the vote, only to find that they ended up getting it one way or another.

Ah the little loudmouth pipsqueaks. Thing is it'll be those lick-arses and up-their-own-arse types who'll be TDs in 15 years or so. I know once 20 year old already gettin right up to the top of Young Fianna Fail, been hanging round with a TD's daughter for a few years now, gets a summer job in the TD's firm...
Someone trying to tell me about politics or anything to do with it always makes me laugh. There'll come a point, I'm sure, in the not too distant future when I do go out to vote and just spoil my vote. I'll be voting for no candidate. It won't be counted as a vote, so does that mean that I, someone who has complex views formed on logic and personal opinion has no right to give out about things, but some idiot who votes Fianna Fail or Fine Gael because mammy and daddy did, does have the right?
Only thing worse than hippies are people who get into politics from an early age. :P0 -

I was reading about it. The Bowler threw the winning run for them!
I was going to watch the opener but didn't bother when I saw it was Holland England were playing. I Think I will try and watch the end of the replay later on.0 -

Voted earlier today. Now they can get round to taking down the eyesore posters. There is only so many times I can put up with seeing a certain former popstar turned politican gleaming face, and all the rest of 'em, while on the way to and from the city.
Now I haz headache, I think it may have been cause by the damn PA system at the cross and by Guntars Silagailis' "biggest fan" in front of us moaning for the night
, funny at first, but give it a rest like.

I grew up in Finglas, but you don't read my statements such as
"Eeeeeh yeah, so righ, was watchin' smackdown, righ? And i couldn' believe i' righ? Jeff Haaaaaaaardy did the swaaaaanton, righ?"
You know what I mean.
