BritGAF!
Sah here, and I successfully passed my interview and now hold an offer for York! 5/5 offers completed.
I was originally going to choose York as my first and Bournemouth as my second choice as Bournemouth was unconditional, but gathered I'd be selling myself short with Bournemouth
York for firm and Portsmouth as insurance for now.
Needless to say, I'm over the moon! I got what I wanted and now it's time to work for it. Just going to visit Portsmouth before deciding it as my second option!

Potentially yes, but my Feb is already starting to become booked up so will confirm when dates are arranged
The official meet will be end of March don't worry, but we do tend to do these mini meets in between

Yeah as 8bit said turning off notifications and also auto download of pictures really helps. It can move pretty fast at times but unless you obsessively care what everyone has said (I do because I want to make sure no one says anything negative about me which I miss and can't respond to) you can just pick up anywhere.

Yeah, it's almost too busy now. I liked being able to check it every hour or so and spend a minute or two quickly catching up on 10 or 20 messages. But yesterday it all went a bit:
Hopefully it'll calm down after the novelty has worn off for the newbies, can't be dealing with trawling through War and Peace every time I want to catch up on a bit of banter.
The great thing is that after you've said "mute for a week" a few times it eventually just stays muted. Still wish you could mute individual chats though, I don't want my whatsapp to beep at all.
Feels like im swimming against the tide a bit with Feb. part of the reason behind coming down was to see you fools! march could be tricky because E has her birthday. But will wait and see I guess.
Congratulations Sah! World domination is surely only a few years away.
What's app is great but it's just information overload to me.
Guess the podcast isn't happening then 😕

I am a bit of a nerd when it comes to the internal technology that makes up my gaming PC but until yesterday I hadn't heard of, at least knowingly, of WhatsApp.
I think my brain goes into total and utter shutdown with all these bloody 'social' things. Much like mobile phone related technology.

Just set your Whatsapp notification sound to silent?
Wasn't the issue that iPhones didn't allow setting notifications to silent or something weird?

Sploatee, for this podcast wotsit, were you just planning to record something on Skype? The sound quality might not be ideal for reproduction unless the participants have decent mics.

didn't mean to be so anti-social, it all moves a tad fast for me and to be fair, i spend enough time on neogaf without another thing getting in the way of regular life. no harm meant!
Well I suggested Sunday and was met with resolute silence. I'm guessing I'm a bit more juiced about it than everyone else. Which is kind of normal. I get juiced about everything. Did I mention Prince recently?
That's a good point. Yes just Skype. Whatever is quickest and easiest. Did you catch that Richard Dawson track I posted?
Me too. If I read something non game related eberytime I checked GAF id be much more interested in my own thoughts.
I just use one of these so I can always be looking at the whatsapp
If it is going to happen someone needs to take charge.
A few of us have said we are willing to be on it
If it is going to happen someone needs to take charge.
i.e. you, Sploat
Ok agreed. Fine. Heil Sploat. I'll have a look into things.

I did, this is my settings:
It still beeps every time apart from group chats that I have specifically muted.
Really? This is what I get in an individual chat:
Edit: and "more" is just block, clear, email and shortcut.

Why are doctors, in general, arrogant condescending ****s? I have only ever dealt with one or two that have been down-to-earth and sympathetic.
I had to go for ECG and blood test results yesterday as I have been suffering from mad-ass heart palpitations and breathing issues.
I said to her that I suspect it is anxiety-related. She turns round and says "what do you have to be anxious about?" with a slight smile and a tone that I cannot obviously portray on here.
To say it made me angry is an understatement.

No, I haven't yet. Went to look for him on Google Play Music and was met with several Richard Dawsons, one of which looked a bit Soft Rock and resolved to return to my search later. And then I forgot.
Sounds like she was hitting on ya. Get in there.

"siri, how many horses died in world war 1?"
whoever gets that reference is my favourite person.

Oh, conversations with individuals. No idea. You can stop all notifications for any android app by going into apps, select whatsapp then unchecked show notifications.
Obviously you know better than a medical professional.

What does that even mean in the context of my message?

to be fair doctors are the second most intelligent people in the world because they have to know exactly how a person works and what goes wrong if something is bad or doesn't do what it's meant to and how to fix it like what syrups need ingesting and what humors need expulsing for inner balance and what kind of bandage to use. they are only second to politicians because they need to know exactly how not just one person works but how everyone in an entire country works like what they want and what makes them angry and what temperature is best to put the sun at and oh maybe this road needs painting or this migrant needs removing or what is on tonight's dinner menu.

Cheers mane, that's my head less battered every day! I have no idea why the settings in the app itself don't work though. Same with auto download, I have it switched off yet I still get Jed's cam porn filling up my library.
From the little I've conversed with you in here you seem to be a little, um, "touchy" let's say. Maybe you just took an entirely innocuous sentence that was possibly intended to amuse totally the wrong way.

Like I said, the tone is impossible to portray on here.
All I can say is she needs to alter her approach because one day there could be a desperate person needing her help in regards to mental health issues. Joking and making light, or at least coming across as such, could be dangerous.
Edit:
Anyway, this could possibly be the best thing I have ever read. Genius or idiocy?

Rather attractive too, cute ginge with big doe eyes?
Yup.
I had this about 2 years back, turns out me quitting coffee a few months earlier had led me to become highly intolerant to caffeine, although the doc seemed the think it might not be that, low and behold every panic attack came after strong coffee (I was having the odd one).
I quit it all together and have been fine since, before that though I had an ECG, Blood test etc... (all normal).

Well one interpretation could be that you're telling the doctor what you think is wrong with you when that's actually her job. I'm sure they must get fed up of peeps coming in with self diagnoses after a quick Google search.
