It's PanDENmonium! [Off Topic Chat]

I don't know if I'm too late but ALWAYS always always wear pretty formal clothes to an interview, you come off much better being over dressed as opposed to under dressed. I would never ever wear tracksuit or jeans to an interview. You can get slacks for around a tenner in penneys or dunnes, I would say at the very least wear slacks and a shirt. You're trying to sell yourself, dress formally for it, it doesn't matter if you're interviewing for a supervalu job, a binman, or a managerial role, first impressions last a lifetime.

They always say you should dress for the interview how you would dress at the job, so if its an office job wear a suit, if its retail or waiting trousers and shirt, and if the dress code is casual don't over dress. But even if they're very casual don't wear a track suit, it will just look like you do't give a fuck

Walking home from work at 5am this morning passing the ticketmaster agents.
bout 50 people camped outside it queuing for One Direction. According to one of the lads in work they were queuing when he started work at 5pm.
Madness.
I can't understand that level of devotion to any group.
If Strummer rose from the dead and The Clash reformed for a one off gig then maybe I might grab my chair and a blanket but to Queue for 16 hours in the cold for a few tickets is nuts.
I'm just laughing at the thought of the tickets running out. Imagine queuing for that length of time and then finally get to the door and there's no tickets left. :P

This is very good advice. I really don't like wearing suits or dressing up formally, but for an interview it's very important. It means that from the very first time you and your potential employer meet, they know you are prepared to make an effort - it distinguishes you (along with how you prep for an interview) as a husk of a human, rent from its life-force, summoned by the Harvester of Sorrow as his scythe chimes through the chaff of your dreams . The marrow of his fingers: purling, worming things through which spill gilded whispers of joy and opulence, bewitching you - while he suckles and gnaws at the barren, masticated teat of your dignity.

Fix You by Coldplay the only song that will have tears streaming down you're face from the first few seconds it begins.

Ah no, I don't actually know, I personally don't like them but to each their own.

A heart-warming story about a goldfish:

My uncle got a goldfish about 10 years ago for his 40th birthday, it was named Deckie after himself. The other day my uncle arrives home and Deckie's floating on top of the water with his head lolling. Anybody else would have just sent him to the Sewer Beyond, the fish was ancient, but my uncle tried to save him by changing the water in the bowl. He then proceeded to lift Deckie out by the tail and give it the fishy-equivalent of chest compressions by flicking him repeatedly. Deckie came back to life and has been swimming happily in his bowl ever since

Only my family would try and resuscitate a 10 year old goldfish :pac:

Also, today the family went to Tayto Park to give me some peace to study. Somehow somebody (I can only assume my brother) took a photo of 2 rabbits engaged in...leporine recreation, the way I'll put it. It's been a strange week for us as far as animals are concerned :P

On a serious note, the first two albums were properly good. But that song Paradise is the apogee of saccharine hideousness.

Got a funny text that Im nearly 100% sure wasnt for me, saying this is it we've gone through the years etc etc and hopefully a certian poet comes up and we're gonna do some knacker drinking by the end of it etc etc
But like I barely talk to this person.. Im not in their school.
Still though, it's nice to feel included :pac:

Pigwidgeon

I think I may have come to a decision about what to do with my life. It's scary and I don't know if it is the right one but I think I've made it. It would seem that college is not for me, but at least this time I will have a certificate this time, I've found what I love doing, I just don't think college is the way for me to get where I want to go.

I remember him. Just was wondering about him the time of the Eurovision this year. Even the name Ryan Dolan sounds like Chris Doran! So I guess this reminded me!

What was he doing in Carrick I did not hear. He was a good singer, above average among Ireland's recent Eurovision entrants but like most of them, finished poorly. He came second last, which was considered bad at the time in 2004 (in the future, we'd be last and often not even selected from the semi finals). Since the Eurovision, he released 2 other hit singles and a hit album in 2004 and had a minor hit a few years afterwards but in recent years has not been heard tell of until this unfortunate event.

been getting one of the filipino guys at work to teach me some phrases.

he's filled me with swear words and filipino sexual innuendo.
so now when the drunks annoy me at work on a saturday i can curse them out without them realising.
Such power.

the filipino i love you is quite sweet too.

Lads, quite possibly the ****test question ever but does it ever cause a problem when someones hair is a different colour in their ID pic as opposed to their hair colour at the time?

Not that I'm aware of. Unless you look dramatically different they may ask for a second ID as backup.

Hmm see I dont have a 2nd ID.. But the pic was only taken a few weeks ago so surely.. Altho I look a bit dead in my picture.

I think Im just a chronic worrier :P Thanks tho!

Pigwidgeon

Ah you should be fine, like I've seen people show their bank cards and stuff with their name on it as backup. If it's recent though you don't have anything to worry about!

Not quite the same thing but my sis uses my id and Im dark-haired and she's blonde and she still gets in

wnolan1992

When will girls realise that 9/10 times they won't need ID? And out of the 1/10 times they do, 9/10 it won't matter either way?

Silly females.

Something i just noticed.

My Music interests are like this

Solo singers - mainly female singers
Bands - Mainly male bands possibly split 50/50
DJ's(Trance,Techno,House,Dub-step) - Male Dominated tunes, Female vocals

Something i just noticed as well looking through DJmag.com top 100 DJ's i only spotted 1 female DJ their Twin sisters. Seems a very male dominated environment. Like is music producing not really pushed to females or have they just little interest for it. That they would prefer to be on vocals instead?

What got me thinking was Dash Berlin. Never knew who they were and ive liked them for a few years now. Turns out its a a few guys from Dutch Area*. Yet i always thought was a female cause most of their videos and vocals are contain/from females
