There are not many people around in these alcoves in Christmas time.
Is it as shit as Colin Farrell made it out to be? Seemed like a pretty place.
I'm not in a relationship and I don't plan ahead with these things, splootee.

I don't break up until 23rd December, boo!
But I'm off on Friday for the Mike, Z and my lady coming up for the weekend, yay!

My last day is Friday 19th, then am clear until 5th Jan.
Oh! And I'm off today, Thurs, and next Thurs. Turns out I had a chunk of holiday so am taking that.
Take the weekend off
Could do, but with all the family and friends I want to see over Christmas, a weekend wouldn't be enough. I can't afford too much time off, though.

Ahhh, finally. I'm up early for once. Not to see if this sleep pattern sticks.

i have christmas day off.
I don't break up until Xmas eve
I can't wait, man. She's still tiny, but she's old enough to get hyped over gifts. I know this because every time I buy her an Xmas pressie, I give it her immediately. Going to have to reign that in.
My last day at work until the new year is next Friday. So much holiday I just piled it all in the xmas period.
Didn't want to eat into next year's holiday so I'm coming in for 1 day on Friday 2nd only to then have the weekend again.
Most time I've had off since I started though, can't wait. Xmas week is going to be busy as shit.
What are you studying?
Sorry banooooooooofy
Everyone from my work who has kids goes to Center Parcs.
i have christmas day off.
Eesh. Good luck!
19 - 5th represent. Although I might take the 5 to 12 off as well, and just hibernate. I really want to hibernate. Not feeling very human today.
It's a great place for 'em. Lots of activities to do, soft play areas in every restaurant, tons of wholesome outdoorsy stuff. The babysitting service was a godsend when me and the missus wanted a spa night too.
I'll definitely take kiddo back there next year.
Computer Science, I'm making an archery game with the Oculus Rift and Leap Motion.
Interesting!
Looking at their website all I can say is damn I wish I got paid what they do for putting a sheet over something.
The future has arrived.

Sounds ideal.
Did you see my message about Speedball 2 on Vita? Thought it might be your kind of thing.
It's having the idea and the wherewithal to do it. I reckon covering the whole reichstag was probably tricky.
But yeah. I can't really argue that it's easy money.
Proper day of lawyering today. Big bizness and deadlines and such. I keep thinking about Dark Souls.

Sounds awful.
I'm out.
I fucking loved Speedball 2 back in t'day!
I know it's available as a PS Mini, but I haven't picked it up (although I did buy it when it first hit iOS). For some reason, the fact it's called 'Evolution' rather than 'Brutal Deluxe' really bugs me.
It's going to itch away at me until I buy it now
I fucking love the place, but I can imagine it would be hell on earth for some. Wall to wall yummy mummies and underfed fathers in lycra failing to berate their dipshit children whilst eating gluten free fairtrade yoghurt bars.
I always feel like an imposter when I'm shambling out for a pint at ten in the morning with a cigarette hanging out of my mouth.

That's more like it: Fear and Loathing in Centre Parcs. I may attempt to spray a massive gonzo fist on the dome.
As your lawyer, I advise you to take 50ml pentathol, some ether and some fine Moroccan hash before you do so.

Same as you!
Plus I sat a couple of professional exams yesterday, so I'm effectively off now in my mind!
Going myself next month for the third time, can't wait to kick back a few pints of ale with the gf, sort a spa treatment, and just generally do little!
I got some coursework back yesterday. 64 and 66.
I'm happy with that. It's looking like I'm going to finish my course with a high 2:1 unless I somehow get 70+ on every other piece I've got for this year, which is actually doable. No way I'm getting less than a 2:1 overall though, and that's good enough for me considering the number of people I know in my modules who are constantly hitting 50 as an average.

Nice. If you only get half way, I'll finish it on my next visit. There's something about the place that reminds me that underneath my middle class sheen, I'm a poor kid through and through. I threatened to spark a dude out when we were there a few weeks back, and it really put a downer on my holiday
It is so relaxing though when you do it right. Peace, quiet, and fucking squirrels.
Me and Mrs Smoky try and go at least once a year. It's so close to home, yet so different from the usual 9 to 5.
Make sure you do sort out a spa session. It's serene as fuck.
Go for the 1st man. a few months of pain is worth it.
I got 68 total and it killed me how close I was

Ah, Sploat. You're one of God's own prototypes. A high-powered lawyer mutant of some kind never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, and too rare to die.

I want to see squirrels fucking. That'd be the nuts.
Ahem.
I'm all over it, although fucking ain't that serene when I'm involved; it's all spit and teeth and "ooo what does THAT button do".
It's a goddamn mess, mate.
Thanks to Viva Pinata, I can't stop looking at squirrels and calling them squazzils. I feel like Rare have basically ruined a part of my vocabulary and I think I might contact them for compensation.
Part of the compensation is about having wasted my time with their shit games.

Might as well go for it then innit, although I wouldn't compare myself to the other people in the course, unless there's some sort of scaling that happens based on their performance.
Diddy Kong Racing is fucking incredible.
Hnpfphphm.
Goldeneye was good.
I preferred it when they were Ultimate Play the Game. Staff of Karnath!
I don't think there is. I know for a fact that I'm in at least the top 10 for marks based on talking to other people. My best friend at uni matches my ability with ridiculous consistency if I'm making a judgement based on marks, but judging myself next to her and everyone else is pointless. Honestly, I'm just happy that I'm doing well.
Diddy Kong Racing is fucking incredible.
Microsoft era specifically then. Diddy Kong Racing is my favourite racing game ever, thing is so damn good. Mario Kart 64 was ass, but we at least had DKR.
