Outgoing, selling accidental detah insurance to UK people who did not tick the box on the end of their credit/store card applications. Horrific.

Oh man, i don't envy you on that at all.

There was one gent who used just answer the phone and scream "stop calling this number". Of course everyone would just set him for a rescheduled call back.

I do end up feeling like that with NTL to be honest, they're always f*cking ringing my phone every week. Changing my number next week. The sanity will be unreal.

The only upside of working there was I was working with my then girlfriend, so we got to amuse ourselves from time to time on company time.

Only ever worked with a girlfriend once, it was f*cking disaster because we'd never get the breaks we needed from each other cos we saw each other so often. Never again.

I ws working on a line, packaging windows 95, or may it was 99, cant remember for 2 summers during college, with imbeciles and morons. At the same time during the first summer I also had a nightclub job, so i would finish a 12 hour shift, get home for 2 hours and back to work til 3am, go home for 4 hours sleep and back to work again. I was like a zombie for quite a while that summer.

Of course working in said factory, I heard one of the greatest conversations I ever overheard. I wa sout having a smoke at break (I used smoke then obviously). It was a saturday.

Girl 1: "Shurleeeeeee, you gooooon out tonite"?
Shirley: " I am girl"
Girl 1: "gettin sex?"
Shirley: "Cmere gurl, I wouldn't know me hole at this stage if I fell into it"

Exit me sniggering

I apologise in advance I have have hurt anyones feelings with the above. Its a true story which i like relaying.

One of the best stories I've heard from summer work was one my friend told me. He work on a farm for a summer for a few weeks to try and scrape a few pound together for himself. One day himself and the farmer were hunting cattle into the parlour to milk them. The farmer was putting the milkers on the cows tits, but one cow gave him wicked hassle, so the farmers response was to go around to the front of the cow and punch it straight in the face. I'd say that poor divil gave wicked sour milk that week

2.2 is good, man. I was under the impression last week I would get that. It's an honour's degree and will hopefully open doors for you.

Aw, seriously! A 2.2 is nothing to be snorted at at all!
If you won't give yourself the credit then I will, congratulations.

Cheers, I got a few photoshop/PSP lessons after the guy who used to do my sig images dropped me in it the last time (by nicking someone elses one online, not telling them, and on top of it, not telling me!). I ran the idea by orestes and he loved it, so we both stuck it in our sigs.

10 minute knockout job, i'm proud of it myself.

Nah. you wouldn't. Black and white and bumping up the contrast makes the worst looking image looks good.

Hell, look at my avatar for christs sakes!

I think i'm gonna move these to OTB actually.

Today I finished off watching Rising Damp (there are four series', I watched them over the last week). Must admit, It's a truly brilliant TV show. I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a good laugh. (although in saying that it seems to be a real love it or hate it kinda show, judging by the opinions of people I know.


All the characters are excellent protrayed. Leonard Rossiter is great in it, and plays his part absolutely flawlessly!

It's a long-ass song, but it's more like six songs blended into one. Prog Rock isn't for everyone, but it's kinda mellow, and kinda rocky at the same time.

And yes, that is a cricket bat the singer is playing... don't ask!

Went to see The Prodigy in Cork last night. I have never seen such a diverse crowd at a gig in my life. Young emos, young scummys, young rich kids, adult emos (Whats going on there, thought they would have grown out of that "lifestyle" by 18?), adult scummys, older clubheads, glam girls, metalers....eevrything.

The gig itself was quite good. My first time seeing them in 15 years. They played something from all 4 albums and finished with the classic of classics Out Of Space. Good gig all round.

There's one of them in my course, every now and then I have to look at him and try and figure out what happened him. Mid 30's I'd say and he is ROCKING the skinny black jeans and dyed black hair.

I suppose you'll be saying that it's no longer acceptable to have long hair after the age if 18 then?

The fact that you highlight that over "adult scummys" and "adult clubheads", both statistically proven to have caused more trouble in general society is equally disturbing.

Unless you're talking about growing out of that image, but as a lifestyle, they're actually pretty harmless (except maybe to themselves).

Not at all. I have long hair myself. Long hair is perfectly acceptable as long as it is not used as a tool to hide baldness. Or used as a tool to aide a combover. However, i am sure there are many who think long hair on men is never acceptable, ever.

I was just always under the impression that emo was for 16 year olds who don't realise that their parents actually do really love them.

With regard to adult scummys, many never grow out of being a scumbag unfortunately. I know that from where I grew up and where I currently live. And I said older clubheads, not adult clubheads (which is the category I would put myself for the record.)

But i thought you would have grown out of that by now... I know you're not that much younger than me.

Ok, so I jest, but you get my point.

You'd be surprised who get that impersonation about guys with long hair in their 30s and beyond.
And besides, you can hardly begrudge bands like Green Day their living. Granted their music isn't emo, but their current image certainly is!

There's a difference?
(you see where i'm going with this, right?)

Heres a quetion for everyone, was there one moment that you can recall that you realised how old you were?
In the sense that you felt old, not necessarily that you ARE old.
