Bit sweet for me.. hate Reece's Cups, cheap n nasty chocolate in them

No way man.

I try and avoid chocolate as just looking at a bar makes me put on weight but they would be my little treat.

And peanut butter and jam is the BOMB lads, so good.

For some reason i'm thinking that white bread + Tayto + nutella + peanut butter might be an awesome mix. I'm seriously considering trying this some time.

Ahhh lads, I'm trying to be good, eat healthy and lose some weight and ye bastids are not helping.. :(:(

No to taytos for me - I've never had a tayto sammich and before you all go off on one for that - it's because the textures of soft white bread and crunch crisps just doesn't sit well with me!

I only like crunchy Meridian peanut butter, it's amazing.

Toasted chunky bread, lashing of peanut butter and then a bit of nutella on top = heaven! If I am without bread, I just eat the two on a spoon from the jar :pac:

I think that sounds awesomes! I love cartoons but I hate when there's lots of whispering in the cinema. My preference is for when it's really quiet so it feels like I have the cinema to myself!

I still haven't seen Despicable Me 2 I need to rectify this asap!

I've never had a crisp sandwich. I don't think I'd like it tbh. McCambridge's is my answer to batch bread!

Y'know one of my mates does that, only with relish...yes, just spoonfuls of relish. She also eats whole blocks of cheese in a go - again, just sitting watching TV, as ya do...

Liam McPoyle

Crisp sammichs are decent, needs to be prawn cocktail though, or something with a bit of zing.

A hungover favourite is French toast done with a big slice of Edam cheese on it, fried on the pan (no oil on it as its too greasy) til the cheese is golden brown.

So good but sooo feckin bad.

Ahhhhh now.....I don't, not for everything, and in fairness young kitten, it's only because I'm so full of life experience for somebody so young. I'm helping you be a better person really when you think about it. Which leads me to the issue of Raisins - they're delicious, especially in scones, in Fruit & Fibre and covered in chocolate.

I went to bed reasonably early last night so up early this morning, two boiled eggs with bacon and a big mug of Harrods tea. Just finished cleaning my room and installing Medal of Honor Allied Assault on my PC, gona hang out a wash and tear into that then

I know that feel on the wallet thing - 5 week month for me this month, got expenses which I was going to put into my car loan account but now the car is in need of a service and new brake pads I'd say....could be worse I guess!

BSc in Information Systems.. back to college again to finally get that degree I've been avoiding for the last decade or two :cool:

Though this time as a part time student, so don't really get to live the student lifestyle, well just the part of me being chained to a desk studying and being broke for the next 4 years..

Was looking at a comp science degree but just a bit too developer orientated, not really what I was looking for. This one has a bit of everything and more suited for the line of work I'm in and it's future prospects, team lead/manager etc..

Liam McPoyle

Sounds good man.

IT is booming.

The company I work for are so hard up for experienced staff they have offered a €3000 referral fee to any staff members that put someone in touch with the company and ends up getting a job there.

I did Business Information Systems so if you need additional material on certain topics, I still have all my files/projects etc.

I get what you mean on the development side of things and I'm now seeing the benefits of BIS to be honest - the work I do on a day to day, has absolutely zero to do with my degree but presentations, meetings, general planning and managing are something I think I'd find much easier as a result of the theory and practice I've had to put in.

Enjoy man

Whoah! That's a huge referral fee, I know they tax them high so you'll prob end up with just over half that I'd say.

Is it a tax write off for companies out of interest? It's just strange to have such a high fee....although in context, not having to go through a recruitment agency is probably quite a bit cheaper.

Liam McPoyle

I wouldnt think they will be able to write it off but as you said, it would be significantly cheaper than using an agency as some of the roles are quite senior, project managers etc.

They pay €1000 when the person starts then the remaining €2000 after 10 months so the tax paid wouldnt be as harsh.

If anyone knows someone looking for a move send em my way, Id be more than willing to split the referral fee!

ToxicPaddy

It saves them paying recruitment agencies which charge up to the equivalent of 20% - 30% of the first years salary iirc.. That might have changed slightly since the recession kicked in but I doubt it's changed much.

So even say paying an agency 20% of a 50k salary compared to paying €3k to an employee, guess which they would prefer?? :P

Yeah, I work in Systems, apart from a bit of scripting, not much of a requirement for coding of any description.

Project planning and management etc would be a lot more useful.

That's fairly bang on of the company to do that in fairness, plus means you won't blow 3k on guinness I guess :pac:

I'm doing all basic deskside stuff myself on top of exchange, antivirus, virtual server management etc. hoping to get a resource in to help with lower stuff which would mean I could technically put down management skills on the CV....although that might be pushing it :pac:
