Have a look at the syllabus; it's as difficult as a CS degree.

The word 'fook' annoys me very much. Just say what you mean.

:wink: That'd be rather difficult on here, it'd appear as censored, so i'm rather limited in choices when it comes to replacing it with a word your not so keen on or F**K.

Ghostbusters 2.

I thought I loved it, but it's an absolute mess of a film. That Statue of liberty bit near the end makes me want to go on a killing spree.

I've never taken so many attempts to put a car in reverse before. On the plus side, her windscreen has never been cleaner.

It's not a Vauxhall is it by any chance? They seem to have reverse up by first gear and you need to pull the gearstick up to get it there...something like that anyway.

No, mine's a Clio, but yeah, you do have to pull the little thing below the gearstick up to put it into reverse. I'm used to that, it's having it all the way down the other end that's alien to me. You don't shift up from 5 to get to reverse!

Chomp chomp chomp, slurp slurp slurp.

Employment Agencies. Phoned one up on Monday to book a registration appointment for today but was assured they had loads of work going. Went in today to be told that my appointment was booked for yesterday. Managed to convince them that i was for today and then spent the next hour filling out all the forms. Finished that then got taken for an interview only to be told theres only fork lift truck work going :evil: Asked about all the jobs advertised in the window to be told they weren't available. If the girl who did the induction wasn't so good looking i probably would have really lost my temper.

Bloody idiots who believe that the world is gonna end on Dec 21st... I work with one, censored gullible muppet.. day in day out all I hear is his retarded explanations on pole shift, how were gonna get sucked into a black hole etc... everyday it's some other disaster, I've told him on the 22nd I'm gonna kick seven colours out of him :evil:

Today it was some story about how the Americans have built bunkers big enough to hold millions of people, I asked him how underground bunkers would help while the earth is being torn apart while at the same time we get sucked into a black hole... he didn't have a answer for that one :roll:

When I told him that pole shift was a natural occuring event and that the north pole has shifted 66 miles north in the last few hundred years.. he called me a liar, granted I don't know how true it is, I read about it on the NASA website, they can't be that wrong can they?? :lol:

I keep trying to convince him that he should quit his job to make the most of the time we've got left and give me a bit of peace and quiet... it hasn't worked so far.. :lol:
