Wanna swap tbh? :pac: East Coast for 3 months this summer too, maybe New Jersey/ Rhode Island...

It isn't really that exotic for me

Germany and France are. I dunno, PR is relaxing and fun which is probably what I need these days but I would like to go somewhere exciting and cultural.

Wow!

I just read two pages of the Conspiracy Theory forum and I had to go and read he paranormal forum to ease me back towards reality in case I got the bends.....

The seem to talk about the weather, the lack of funds due to it being such a long time from peoples last pay day, and the after Christmas fund drain, the fact its Monday, people start getting bills in from Christmas etc etc.

He said he did, but he won't but I don't think he will be visiting us any time soon.

Morrning all.

Morning Dub,
How'd you get on last night?

ShiverinEskimo

I missed all of that hullabaloo? Is there a boycott in progress by some of our senior members - I tried reading that feedback thread but most of it is rantin and ravin and I have limited time these days in work to sit trawling through threads.

All I can say is read the feedback thread. We can't and shouldn't be discussing it in here.

Fair enough - I agree with the non discussion. More was questioning the presence of a boycott rather than the reason for it.

Aye, the knuckling down start's tomorrow though.
Can't afford to piss about in college anymore, especially not if they decide to introduce fees!

Cardinals / Steelers Superbowl

How disappointing

Spud83

It might be good to be a student now. But it won't feel so good when a finish and realise there are no jobs to be had.

Oh happy days (and speaking of being a student), I just found out I get tax relief from my fees, which means I can knock about €600 off my loan

Aye, that's what I'm worried about

ShiverinEskimo

Aye - would you believe I was sat at home last night bored out of my bin and completely forgot about the NFL. I missed all of the games yesterday and couldn't believe it when I saw the sport headlines this morning. I'm not used to it being on yet.

Subconsiously I look for football every saturday afternoon - i'm not yet at the stage when I'm looking for NFL of a sunday night.

Eagles/Cardinals was a dinger

Cards were 21 up in the third and Eagles ended up leading by one in the fourth, was fantastic with some very big plays from McNabb.

Flacco didn't have a great game for the Ravens, he was picked twice.
Steelers deserved to win.

However my predictions of a Ravens/Eagles Superbowl fell apart

I've actually applied for information in relation to going back to college for a few years - all of this **** should have passed by and hopefully the economy will be getting back on its feet.

That and the fact I'll be 27 looking at loads of 17/18 year old chicks fresh out of school.

Kind of different. If you are finishing this year or next year things probably aren't looking good. After that who knows where our economy is headed. But at least you know in four years that has to be some economies recovering (UK, states etc...)

Yeah and you will be the dirty old man in the corner who looks funny, and smells odd, add that they will generally ignore because they think you are some sort of plant by the college.

There's one minor set back in that plan. My girlfriend of 7 years might not want to make room in the sack for a younger model.

Was looking at doing engineering. I like the look of the renewable energies engineering. Nice and modern and probably the future.

I like they way you emphasis 'might', perhaps there's a minor chance that it becomes a three pronged relationship.

Good choice on the engineering too, energy engineering seems to be the new craze alright, they introduced a whole honours degree course on it this year in UCC. We may end up working together for a big company that makes nuclear energy in the future... :pac:

Or marrooned on a service vessel monitoring some tidal energy system in the depths of the north sea freezing our balls off.

It's something I'd definately have an interest in. Not sure if I'm gonna go back because I don't fancy the idea of being 30 and leaving college. But I have to apply now if it's gonna happen this year so keeping my options open. If septemeber comes and I don't fancy it I'll avoid it.

Not a hope, I'll be warm at base camp sitting doing some silly calculations and you the engineer can freezing your testicles off and actually doing work that's worthwhile.

Well, I'm 19 in my 2nd year (realistically for my age I should be in first year), so I'll graduate I'll just be turning 22. Take a year or so out, and then 4 years doing a PhD.. I'll be 27ish when I finish college. My mantra would be to milk college for all it's worth tbh, stay there as long as possible before I actually have to 'grow up'...

ShiverinEskimo

That's a good mantra eZe. I wish I had the drive for a PhD and the like when I was at college but I was 16 when I did my Leaving and I think it was crazy to ask a 16 year old what he wanted to do. Because I was able to use a computer my guidance counsellor pushed me into IT. I like computers and gadgets but fúck IT tbh.

I got an album today which I think is pretty good Black Keys - Attack and Release.

Hahaha, Children of Bodom, I'd rather donate both my testicles to a feminist organisation. And let them smash them with a cleaver just so they can achieve whatever sense of independence from men they seem to crave.

I like alot of very very heavy music, and alot of music with screaming or whatever, but the COB singer sounds like someone being raped by a violin.
