I'm dressed today :P

You should have taken Monday off Sorry you are tired, but the fact you were at EP makes me want to have very little sympathy for you either! :pac:

I would if I was allowed but another person already had the day booked off so I had to come back when I really wanted to stay the extra night. Stupid other peoples and their inconsiderate lives!

It's ok, Awec will be on in a minute saying he only has a half day at work left this week, we will hate him more :pac: Also you are a girl, girls are much nicer

Even bad girls?

It was great craic. My first festival and great fun but that was mostly down to the company I was with. Found many of the acts to be a little boring for my tastes but loved Ham Sandwich and Le Galaxie.

I went to electric picnic.

Jealousy is in every fibre of my tired being! Sounds like an awesomes weekend. Gutted that I didn’t go.

Waiting to see if I got tickets to Robbie Williams. If I did, then I get to see two of teenage idols next week! Already going to see Leonard Cohen

No latte thanks Pem!
Strong black coffee all the way, none of that bubbly stuff

Pembily

I'll bribe him Awec! He likes me as I'm a fellow culchie...

Sauve, strong black coffee and a muffin just for you!

Between web developers and motorists my brain is fried already.

Just back from a driving lesson there as I failed in Raheny a few weeks back. Instructor said that the first time pass rate (nationally) is only 18%. :eek: Would have expected it to be a fair bit higher, tbh.

I've got my address in as well. They said we'd know by noon today. Waiting.

Think only act at Picnic I really would've wanted to see was Turn. My last festival was Oxegen years ago. too old and like my sleep too much now. :P

My home town has one of the highest pass rates. Thankfully I passed the first time and didn't even do the test in my home town!

Best of luck, when's your test?

The Black Oil

Thanks I reapplied straight away, but don't have a new date yet. Did a pre-test with my instructor before hand, but test itself was a different (easier) route. Instructor said I was driving well enough to pass, so hopefully it'll go better on the second go. Said he also had to sit a test himself a few weeks back - an senior RSA type sits in the back and observes how he gives lessons. Fun!

Raheny and Finglas are amongst the lowest first time pass rates anyway.

CastorTroy

Won't say how many tries it took me to pass the test.

D'Agger

Hello all, busy with the new job but popped in to say happy Tuesday and to prove that I'm not dead *toddles back to work

Sauve

Hiya Paulie
Glad to hear it's going well. Come back and fill us in when sometime!

Panthro

Tonight is my last night in work, then it's "doing SFA until the 19th" when I skidaddle on of here for a year or so.
I frickin' cannot wait to spin out those work gates for the last time tomorrow morning!:D
My only first world gripe of the day is my Sky Tv can't be moved home until the 18th. Sweet mother of Jebus, 9 whole days of shyte telly..Arrgghh!

Argh! Only thing worse would be if you didn't have the interweb. I remember when I first moved into my house had no internet or Sky. So my dvd and game backlog got a good bit cleared

Nothing says "welcome back to college!" quite like an assignment on yer first day...

The Black Oil wrote: »

Kitten, do you have to submit your assignments online? I did and had a mini panic because my module wasn't listed at all, thought I'd missed the deadline, but found it in the end!

Mine are all handed in on the day - there's only 65 of us in the course anyway so it's not a crazy amount of paper I guess. Also, a lot of my assignments are posters or resources (or music compositions..yes really ) so we can't really email them!

Also hiya BadGirl!

The Black Oil

So, you're doing as promised, being in college and scouting around on boards..:pac:

Panthro, have you seen Canadian dollars? I can't remember which ones exactly, but some have a transparent window thing, it's a bit weird.

Oh and next week I'm going on what's basically a school tour! (Oh yes really. )

Also found out today that apparently we're gonna be tested, as after the summer exams the lecturers think some of us might have literacy problem...yes, in a teaching college. :pac:

It's been a busy day today.. Makes the day fly by which is nice

Panthro, where are you off to?

grames_bond

Hi all,

how are we today?

Welcome to the newbies! tGC is the best place in boards (imho) so you are more than welcome - pull up a chair.....just not the lazy boy - that's mine!!

@kitten - I am not surprised one bit - I swear to you I would be amazed if some of my teachers could SPELL the word teacher let alone teach!

D'Agger

Right so finally have a spare minute

Jobs going well so far - looks like I'll learn alot as a result of being forced to take responsibility for areas in which I don't have much experience. I'd imagine I'll have tough days ahead but I'm looking forward to it.

The only thing that has upset me about the job so far is the fact that we only have instant coffee here....I'll be bringing in my travel mug of liquid gold every morning instead thank you very much

Also I look like some man in my shirt and tie :pac:

How's everyone else getting on?

Pembily

Glad it's going well Paulie

Contigo are a really good brand of travel mug and the liquid stays hot too

I'm starving and can't cook as have a plumber in checking for leaks in my apartment

Just had the maintenance guy around to look at a problem we have in the house myself.

Cheers for the tip Pem, will look to get one at the end of the month - praying for no problems with my paycheck!

Getting married Thursday? I'll assume my invite got lost in the PMs. :P

Hope you get a good day for it anyway. You can liveblog it on here sure.

How's everyone?

I'm back to socialising!

Word of warning. Don't go see the new Total Recall. What a travesty.

Also, Craft Beer festival in the RDS this weekend! Whoop!

Ah, now you tell me! Though to be honest, think just wanted to see what their equivalent of the triple boobed woman would look like. :P The movie wasn't very good.

Everything was down hill after the three boobed woman. Probably the high point of the film. Better than hover cars and shiny display things. Only a four boobed woman could have trumped that. :pac:

Well there has been talk here recently about shoulder boobs and knee boobs, if that counts.

Pembily

Welcome back 18AD Congrats on finishing the thesis. Same to you TBO!

It's hump day!

Living across the road from a yummy bakery is becoming an issue. My intake of croissants at breakfast time is increasing by the week...

Croissants are a real love/hate deal for me, when the are bad they are horrible. I can eat a bad burger and still be happy with it but a bad croissant is manky however a good croissant is almost sexual.

You are in belgium, you are screwed with their lovely croissants.

Sauve

Not a huge fan of croissants, they're a bit too buttery.
Morning all.

There is no such thing as too buttery! Blasphemy :P

I love criossants, ham and cheese, chocolate, plain, with jam! I do agree with Mags, a bad one can turn you off for good

BadGirl

Good Morning everyone
All this talk of croissants is making me hungry... Up since 7.45 but haven't had time for tea yet, let alone brekkie...
Normally i'm not a breakfast person at all, usually don't eat til lunchtime at the earliest, but am starving this morning.
Yay for a sunny, bright Wednesday!

Hope you are all well, and happy today

Trick is to get them early in the morning, leave it late and you're screwed.

Being spoilt rotten here with the lovely food and beer, and everything is a lot cheaper. Ridiculous amount of Irish people here too which I find odd.
