What age are you?

If you guess the correct character before I have to tell you, I'll give you a prize.

You have 20 minutes, then I'm leaving.

Christ this thread moves fast. Can I have my 20 mins starting now?

I'm 26 btw. He-Man and Transformers were my thing.

What field are u currently in again? I know this, I jsut cant get it to the tip of my brain!

general IT related shenanigans. Call centering computer problems at the moment.

Era its grand, but its not exactly a calling. Its more the backup i'll always have while other wacky schemes and jobs get preference wherever they can.

Accountancy though man, christ, just doing it a bit in college was enough for me, how people do it as a profession i'll never understand! (ive also Never, even once, gotten both sides to match).

Chong

Yea man, I'm thinkin about it a lot lately and my rationale is I'm 24, get out now while I can. If I leave it late then I'm delaying travelling which is all I wanna do right now, I'm costing myself another 2 and a half years of hard hard graft doing something I despise and will not do as a career (was always in it for the qualification rather than the career tbh) and God knows what that'll do for me as the best way to describe this is soul destroying. Plus a large numbe rof the people in the field are dull as dishwater.

Ah I can get both sides to match, it's the motivation to sit there doing it that gets me. And the more complicated stuff is hard as well.

You're about the same age as me aren't ya? Better to take the jump now than get stuck doing something you don't enjoy isn't it?

ShiverinEskimo

Between getting stuck on a call and not being able to think of other 80's cartoons I am sorry to say I was unable to get it in the time allowed.

Put me out of my misery Des.

Ulysees.

Ulysees 31

~Rebel~

yeah im 25 and completely in the same boat. Finding it hard to commit to anything longer then 6months here at the moment as at least then i have the hope that i can be somewhere else then. Have vague thoughts of getting as much experience as i can out of this job and then going to places foreign and full of craic. It doesn't help that a lot of my buddies are off traveling, sending me regular emails full of pictures...They'll be in Oz next summer, so im thinking that if everything goes well with this job i might request a transfer to their sydney office... like a first step on the road to fun..

cartoons used to be so much better didn't they? Some quality story ideas back in the day...Ulysees, Visionaries, Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors, Transformers, Mask....good stuff...

I lay awake for absolutely ages last night thinking about it. I'd be just turned 27 when I finish this and then I'd be looking to travel. I think I'll look for some kind of qualification in the form of a one year masters and some work experience but I just dont think I have it in me to wait till Im 27 and waste a large percentage of my 20's doing this b0ll0x tbh. My main problem is travel money, for what i wanna do I'll need a warchest..... I could sell everything I own!

I am 24, I am going to check youtube.

No Des, you're just old!!


I'm horribly out of the cartoon loop, wats was I at as a child! To be fair, I've never been a big TV watcher. Even now, I mostly watch TV shows throught DVD box sets. i ahte when people start conversations with "have you seen that new ad" cos invariably, I haven't!

Chong

Ok I just checked it out, I remember it but not well, there was a lot of that style animated cartoons around in the 80's

ShiverinEskimo

I was born in '82 so transformers, thundercats, he-man etc. They were my bag. Christmas for me meant a new box of lego and a tranformers video. Parent's wouldn't have to worry about me for weeks then.

I was born in '79

'85 for me and it was all about MASK and Turtles.

84 for me but all I wanted when I was a kid was MASK cars.

I got Venoms helicopter , best present ever.

The Mask fugures were too small though.

Star Wars figures ftmfw

84 - eh I was big into the Turtles myself.

The only good thing about the turtles was April O'Neill.

redheads ftw.

I know your talking about a different Venom. but I never get why they released things like Spidermans motorbike, or spidey with a rocket launcher against Venom or Carnage with a Helicopter.
They never had those things in the cartoons or comics!

~Rebel~

i remember for one of my birthdays, there was this one kid who used always bring a mask toy as a present so i had him invited waaay in advance so he'd be prepared. Was getting a mask garage thing from my folks, so this would make it complete. Fuker rolls up with a rubber puppet thing. I was gutted.
