There'e too much to catch up on when you get out of bed late...

Term ends today and I only ever had a lab on a Friday which is finished now. Have to get in before 3 to hand in my essay though.
And pay a fine on a library book..

See if you just wore shoes then you wouldn't have to wash them. I don't get it. How could you prefer to not wear shoes and have to wash your feet as opposed to slipping on a pair of flip flops or something?

It's liberating. I particularly do it when I'm going to the 40 foot.

It doesn't bother me, only takes about 90 seconds to wash your feet.


I'd usually rock the flip flops (tongs ) but I do like the odd barefoot stroll. On holidays I rarely wear footwear during the day.

I've decided that today I'm going to tell everyone person I get on the phone that their computer is broken, and to bring it to a repair shop.

Even if I knoe what the problem is, and can fix it.

You're lucky your Manager doesn't know that you post here and who you are.

I'm not so lucky.

Morning lads.

I hate this waiting to find out if you got a job or not, I just hope to God I hear before the end of the day, couldnt stand the waiting all weekend!

2008 was a pretty good year for me, got my qualifications, got with my current gf, so if I got this job it would crown it nicely. Plus id feel more apart off the OTT if I could come in here complaing about my job every day! :pac:

I don't complain about my job, I get paid to post! :pac: I just want a job I enjoy!

Frisbee, xmas eve in the boozer is the best night out!!

Damn straight we went to the chinese after and they had no rice left. But my mate kept ordering a 3-in-1 because he refused to accept that a chinese didn't have any rice left.
Was classic

Never been to a Boards Beers,have been to a poker beers and a road trip.

anyone here have an iPod?

mine recently broke for no reason whatsoever. I was putting songs onto it on wednesday, then it asked me for an update.. so I did. then it decided not to work.
to elaborate - Windows can see my iPod, iTunes cant... but sometimes does and then freezes up and crashes when I try to do anything.
I get the following error message - "The specified I/O operation on \Device\Harddisk5\DR12 was not completed before the time out period expired" from windows

its lovely of them to release a patch which borks up some iPods and then reap the benefits from those out of warranty. it is only a bargain price of €120 to have it fixed according to the support guy I rang this morning.

Ive tried all the online fixes and venkatesh (the support guy) also said to do a few things (change the drive letter of the iPod - didnt work, set up a new account on windows - didnt work). so now I have an iPod with no songs (forgot to mention that iTunes decided to delete them when I updated... for the craic or something) and am left quite angry.
Hitler is alive and well and programming iTunes.


christmas is coming though so does anyone have any non-apple music playing products in the 80gb range that they could recommend ?

Thats not a bad plan. I was very tempted to open the shop last christmas to pick up cans but decided against it.
The amount of times that idea has crossed my mind while hammered.
Would result in an instant firing though...

I just imagined jack hammers, cement mixers and other plant machinery when you described your 'make up work'. :pac:

I know a lot of the lads from the martial arts forums personally actually.

We're not talking about other forums tbh.

If we are, then I know every one of the lads who posts in the Boardeaux Forum

Met a good few from BGRH of course.

A few others here and there.

All in all, I'd say I've met ~50 people from Boards.

Oh well law dee daw! Aren't you quite the e-socialite!! :P


Anyone stumbled accross someone they know on boards!? i was over in the Nocturnal forum one night and saw a poster post a pic of herself, turned out to be a girl I know pretty well! My brother has an account that he doesnt use and a few mates have accounts that I dont think they use. A lotta d lads I train with reference threads in boards to me as if I'll magically know what they're talkin about!!

ShiverinEskimo

Aye outside of this forum I know a few lads that were mates since school and that. Went to school/college with Jesus_thats_gre for example. Work with a couple of heads on boards here too like.

Haven't met any of the regular posters in here though.

Ha! Did you inform them they were speaking to the Godfather?

I dont mind text speak to save space/time/money by having shorter texts but dya know wat drives me mad? Text speak where it doesn't make the word shorter. A girl I'm mates with just texted me with talkin about how she's "realli" tired! It wasn't a ttype either because she's done it before. :rolleyes:
