Guess who literally just copped that she's back in Ireland for the weekend when Kamelot are on in London.

GRARGH.

I shall have to fix that by going to Ensiferum a week and a half later :pac:

Is it you? Because that sucks

I feel wrecked again, the dog kept waking me up in the middle of the night

Evening everyone

Any news?

GLaDOS

My supervisor gave me the go ahead to go to a conference in France. Have to get my abstract accepted but shouldn't be a problem

Which means I can play this

Hey folks, how's all today?

rainbow kirby

Not too bad, did strength work at the gym though last night and now my upper body hurts :eek:

Links234

Good stuff!

I've put on weight recently, should really do something about that :eek:

Zwillinge

Back to a regular working day today!

I was in The Ark in Temple Bar the last two days doing work shops with kids from 3rd - 6th class. Was a nice break from the normal office, but running after 50 kids a day will wreck ya

How's everyone getting on?

Links234

Morning Zwill

ugh, there's some nasty weather out there

Passenger

Giving Slaughter of the Soul a spin in anticipation of the ATG gig on Saturday. Anybody else going?

Links234

I had been planning to but can't really afford it, hope you enjoy! I'd say it'd be awesome!

How's yourself anyway Passenger?

Passenger

Thanks, Links. Got my ticket today. Should be a good 'un. I'm currently munching on Lidl croissants that I bought earlier and listening to ATG. Rock 'n Roll, huh?!

Up to aught yourself?

Links234

Nah, not much up aside from eyeballing the Bioshock T-shirts on qwertee. I was studying earlier, not as much as I'd have liked to but definitely getting some done was good. Missing the girlfriend like hell today tbh

Other than, been marathoning through The Blacklist, not a bad show, but honestly just watching it for James Spader

Passenger

Are you not Skyping the OH? Haven't watched the Blacklist. Is it worth a gander?

Links234

We kinda are, but her internet connection is very spotty, so it's difficult at the best of times.

Yeah, I'd say it's worth a look. It's easy watching, nothing too taxing on the concentration or anyway, but James Spader is just fantastic in it and really carries the show.

Reiketsu

Hey folks . I don't know about anyone else but I feel like this week seriously dragged in. Glad it's Friday .

Zwillinge

Week has been so busy!!

How are you Reiketsu? Anything back from interviews and jobs? :)

Reiketsu

I'm not too bad thanks. Only thing is is thst my uncle's dog is being put to sleep today. She's 12 so feels like she has been around forever. Even though it's not my dog I was a blubbering mess when I was told :O.

I haven't heard a thing, its so frustrating. Applied for literally ten jobs yesterday and doubt I'll get a response...Which is more annoying than a rejection tbh.

Links234

Hey folks! Got my phone back today, seems to be working ok. It was seriously annoying being without it for a while because I couldn't listen to any music while going on a walk! :eek:

Keep plugging away Reiketsu
Hope things go well.

Reiketsu

Aw jeez, there's few things as hateful as walking without music :P. Thanks! I will do. Something will come up - it just gets disheartening from time to time.

Links234

yeah, I like nothing more than a long walk with some good music going

It's kinda cool that you've pretty much got one device that does it all, but at the same time, it's nasty when it stops working on you

Do you ya remember these things?!



Any plans for the weekend yourself Rei? Hope things pick up on the jobs market for you

Reiketsu

I had one those! Having to carry your favourite CDs along with it was a pain . My kid found an old cassette tape of mine recently and has no clue what it is or how it works :pac:

No plans really. A quiet night with tv shows and a few drinks tonight, might go see my mum tomorrow . What about yourself?

Links234

Yeah, I'd just pick a CD and that'd be my soundtrack for the day, rarely bothered to bring a few unless I was taking a trip or something, had one of those little CD wallets.

same as, visiting my mum, and taking it easy watching tv shows. what you gonna watching?

Reiketsu

Haven't decided yet! There's loads of shows I've been meaning to start watching so maybe tonight will be the night

GLaDOS

I'd be very happy to use a standalone mp3 player if I could find one big enough that wasn't an ipod. Was the main reason I finally go a smart phone, my old creative 16gb just wasn't enough for me :pac:

I do like having last.fm keep track of everything though

peter1892

I had one of these about 11 years back:



It played Mp3, WMA and Sony's own ATRAC format - I bought it for a trip to Australia when I wanted to bring a load of music with me, it did the job. It was around that time that much smaller music devices became popular & I never had a portable CD player after that.

Modern devices are considerably easier to navigate!

Mr. CooL ICE

Well look at you young whippersnappers with yer fancy shiny record-plain' gadgets. This was what I used



Copied Ride The Lightning from a schoolfriend and used to constantly fast forward and rewind between Fight Fire With Fire and Fade To Black, as they were my favourite songs and on the same side. By the end, I knew the exact length of time to fast forward/rewind down to the millisecond.

I gave up on stored music a while back. I switched my network to Three for the unlimited data, use a google music subscription and stream everything. Google music is missing some areas, but you can upload what google doesn't have from your own library so it appears seamless. Suits me anyway.

Oh I had various Walkman/cassette players for years! There was a lad in school (mid 1980's) who had moved back here from Holland and his Dad was the first person I ever knew that had a CD player (Philips of course). But I didn't get one until 1994 which was one these bad boys!

and it was LOUD!!
First dics I got for it was Therapy?'s 'Troublegum'...

Links234

I remember cassette tapes!

My parents had a big hifi thingie that had a record player and 2 tape decks. I had a very worn copy of Metallica's black album that got played to death. Ah, those were the glory days of piracy! copying tapes from friends, all cheeky like :pac: and recording movies off the TV onto VHS!

Everyone have a good weekend?

Was out in town Friday night for beers for a friends birthday, first time going out since new years, how very sad

Where'd you head?

I went to see At The Gates in the Academy. Pretty good performance I must say. Then I went to see Swedish band Portrait in the Gypsy afterward. It was packed. Decent gig though. Never heard them before but a distinct King Diamond vibe off them.
