Congratulations fuenf.

Does anyone know what an open book examination entails? Got an e-mail from a lecturer announcing that the final would be open book. I've never had one of these before.

I would think it either means you're allowed to bring textbooks in with you or that you see the question beforehand. I think it's the former, but that's just guesswork going off what open book seems to imply. I'd be mighty surprised if it wasn't one of the two.

Should probably not trust the 7-11 security cameras quite so much
If Middlesborough could win tonight, that would be great.

We want a draw tonight. The more games Chelsea have to play the better, they look dead on their feet already.

You're allowed your notes/textbook in the exam.

It means the exam is going to be really fucking hard.

Not always. I had a stats exam last year that was open-book and it was a piece of piss.

I applied to a job as assistant communication (PR etc.) today. That would be some relevant stuff for my CV. Have my fingers crossed since they obviously only need one person for the job.

Cheers lads.

I have 2 months to prepare for this now. It's about EU institutions so it's going to be a bit of a pain.
 
Good luck man. I'm enjoying Nandos tbh, the people are great. Just long hours and hectic all the time.

I don't really have to look into much until next year anyway; there's a teaching program that combines both the PGCE and two years of paid placement at a school, so come September I'll probably start to look at that. Need to up my game with regards to university though, I'm quite lucky most my essays are creative ones but I'm gonna fucking die on this History of English essay and exam.
Is that Teach First? A few of my friends went into that. It's really reputable.

Scoring high marks at University is really tough...you really do have to go above and beyond.

Congratulations Fuenf, hoping to see my own life coalesce similarly in the coming months. Glad to see you got things on track.

Thanks, I sincerely hope that you'll have a smoother transition period than I had.
Best of luck!

Fuck, Hummels will miss the game..
Santana has been horrendous in Gladbach :|

/nicely done fuenf!

Thanks :) I'm so happy not that even Bayern, I mean Dortmund, can destroy my mood today. :) Hopefully it will be a good game.

PES is held back by the advance in technology. The focus on realistic animation kills gameplay.

The joy of PES used to be the sharp, responsive gameplay and satisfying ball-playing mechanics. When you curled a ball, it felt and looked like curling a ball. When you smash one in to the top corner, the camera couldn't quite keep up and it was as close as games come to replciating a real-life physical feeling. When you hold the ball for a second and glide a through ball to the striker at the perfect moment, you feel like Xavi. When you wait for a striker to make a move and pull off a 4 yard slide tackle as the last defender, you feel like Baresi

When I play FIFA, I feel like a man made out of elastic bands kicking a beachball in 0.75 gravity
Almost made me tear up man! <3

Here's to hoping that Seabass rediscovers what made PES click some day.

The only good thing of living in America is that fútbol is like the 6th most popular sport. I pay like 20 bucks extra per month to see Rubentus cheat.

I've got a placement at Adidas marketing over Easter, but beyond that my life is one big blank. Need to get on it ASAP. Otherwise I'll be working at WHSmith Preston and that's a one way ticket to suicide.

The one on Deepdale or the one in town? I'll come see you to cheer you up.

Oh, fuck. "Retail". I read "Real".

Works anyway.

If they draw then they could potentially have 4 matches in 8 days. That would be awesome.

In my second year of Uni I had an exam which was IDENTICAL to the paper from the year before. Literally IDENTICAL, every single question was the exact same. It was multiple choice so the order for the answers was literally the same as we had all been practicing the night before.

The thing is we weren't meant to have access to the previous years paper but I managed to get my hands on it and shared it with my year group.

After 10 minutes 350/400 people in the exam hall put their hands up to say they'd finished. I became a legend.

I did however feel very bad for the poor souls who didn't see the paper before hand. Can only imagine what they were thinking when the hall emptied after just a few moments.

Am I the only one here who still plays PES? Never been able to play FIFA, I brought it once in '09 but it was so terrible i even went back to playing PES 2008. Played a few of the other versions since then but nothing seems to have changed. Doesn't help that I despise playing online and only play single player, where even FIFA fans admit PES has the stronger modes.
I play PES6 on pc every day lately, currently sitting 2 points behind Man Utd on the table with Arsenal, with 6 games to go in the season. So good.

I don't really have a 'most beautiful woman alive', but she's amongst the most beautiful women alive ;)

I work at a casino. Every day I'm surrounded with girls that range from beautiful to truly stunning. And that's without a professional make-up job. Jennifer Lawrence is a fine woman, but most beautiful? C'mon now, brahs.

Hey now, some people who post here don't leave their house often. Saying stuff like that is hardly surprising.

She's looks so 'normal' and that's what makes her so pretty. And she's adorable in interviews, it's just a celeb crush. But yeah, out there in the normal world there are tons of unknown beautiful women. Who mostly will be just as far out of my league as J. Lawz is :p

Well, without Hummels I have little hope we will win in Munich. He is just too important and Santana has not convinced me this season. I'm not looking forward to tonight's match at all.

Yeah it is Teach First; only real problem is they expect flexibility to work anywhere - so Midlands, South West, further North. I'd prefer London easily but beggars can't be choosers I suppose.

No, lol. I am indifferent toward them. I have a slightly soft spot for Freiburg and Mainz and maybe Bremen too.
Well I hoped someone would share my Gladbach crush. I totally understand why you would like Mainz and Freiburg since they pretty much promoted from rags to riches without any financial help, and this, without spending left and right. A true achievement.

I would say, Aachen is also a team I like, for different reasons.


Will be awesome when Porto destroys Benfica
I hope a Colombian gets transfered there so you can start liking them too :)

Yeah these are my final exams an an undergrad.

Then comes post-grad. I'm beginning to feel a bit academia'd out.

Thanks wooden.


The first 10 minutes of Tomb Raider are great, it really gives me an Uncharted vipe and I immediately fell in love with Lara.
The minimalistic UI is lovely and the world looks to be incredibly immersive. Even on PS3 the graphics still look great.

YEAH! :)

I just signed my employment contract at my University :D Starting in April, I will be a full time research / teaching assistant and write my dissertation.

SO HAPPY!

CONGRATS BRO!

Here's to Bayern winning and making your day twice as better.

Messi apparently missed training today, out with a "fever".

More like he put his foot through the door and can't even move it.
