We're all very good at posting in the moan/bitching/groan thread, so i thought maybe we could try a 'woo hoo!' thread? For the 'i got a job/won the lotto/had a nice day' posts. So, for the first 'woo hoo' post: I got wolf whistled by a large group of guys yesterday, which really cheered me up - and put the 'i got it going…

Wow...

My Israeli supervisor here gave me the most amazing of references. He all but said einstein is shining a torch out of my arse. This slip of paper will save me having to suck a lot of *ahem when applying for IRCSET. Sweeeet!

And ed says jews are stingy. :rolleyes:

My Danish supervisor I wouldn't ask for a reference because he has the awful habit of turning up when I'm exceptionately hungover or finding me in moments of idleness/stupidity.

Me? Never. Sure you can spot them a mile off though. They all look like this like:

Right, the picture'll go up when imageshack stops throwing toys outta the pram...

...aand we're back..

They got nuclear weapons too y'know? I reckon they're about to do a "goldfinger" and contaminate all their gold so they don't have to guard it and can get on with running international finance.

Well not really, this is himself.

He's a big time researcher getting lots of money, but drives a 98 golf.

But then again so would I if there was 180% tax on cars, what does that tell you?

I graduated today! Well yesterday at this stage, but still. It was interesting.

Had a big family/friends party-dinner thing then this evening, which was excellent. The last guests left about fifteen minutes ago. Great night.

This isn't the most articulate or sober post I've ever written but I think it conveys a lot.

Yeah but it's probably made of gold, and there's a definite resemblance there! sure hrummph hrummph, spin spin *scratch*, mutter drives an old 206 and is completely loaded. I think folk at that stage in their career don't need to impress anymore. grrr.

Too late! You've been cursed with all of Right_Side's evilness, so now you're going to be the token hated person on the TCD forum! And you'll wander in threads and call people names and be contrary for no good reason and everyone will disagree with you and ApeX will ban you for trolling and we'll all laugh heartily over the internet.

MWAH-HAH-HAH!!!!!!

Moving on...

Just watched Reservoir Dags which I got for free thanks to some kind patron who appears to reside o'er at Bargain Alerts. See, Boards.ie impacts real life too.

And the Thomas Crown Affair is on. Not the better one (it's missing the sexual inneundo which RTÉ used to show at 3 in the afternoon) but still somewhat interesting.

Well, it was just meant to be a dramatic way of saying 'what you talkin about, Stargal?'

But if you want me to call you a twunt...

And yes, Reserviour Dogs is a cool film.

Ok I'm going to stop that now. This isn't Ricki Lake.

I was just asking what 'Raffles' is. I'm guessing it's a pet name for Troglodyte or another BESSian, but just wasn't sure.

Whoo-hoo to that. I got wireless broadband on my laptop last week and have been off the internet for approximately 20 minutes since then.

Yep, I'm the one he's referring to alright. B.ie Curious calls me Raffles, Ibid calls me Viceroy (my fault), and everyone else calls me the fellow with the UCD scarf.

All exams over (and possibly even passed), essay handed in with 37 minutes to spare; now I can start eating Lemsip Max like smarties without worrying about waking up tomorrow. Sweet, sweet painkillers...

Should I tell him that Lemsip Max capsules contain caffeine and thus he won't be doing any sleeping or shall someone else do it?

They don't contain much caffeine. Sure most of us ingest enough caffeine before going to bed with little problems (apart from Pet but he's got circadian arhythmia).

Woohoo for the Melvins and a cracking gig. Loud as ****, my ears are barely still hung together.

Saw Pan's Labyrinth last night, which managed to be both one of the most terrifying and one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.

Oh and finished work today, that's also a whoo-hoo.

Lol: I was showing my sister around boards a couple of minutes ago, going through a few choice forums. Stopped at personal issues, which had the usual mixture of probs - STI questions, alcoholism advice, girl problems, pregnancy scares etc - and she was quiet for a couple of seconds and then said: "Wow. This is all the Trinity forum?!"
