Bit of rain today in Belfast, spot the idiot in the Merc
Just saw a video of these guys on BBC News :lol
Muse are doing the official Olympics song.
It sounds like Muse, alright.
I've actually been looking forward to this shit since 2008. UK's Olympic culture focus is just going to be "we make the best rock music in the world!"

I said that's the approach we should take. "Listen up world, our sports side is a bit of a lame duck but we rock your shit at the arts." No-one can disagree!
Well, except maybe Canada. But fuck those guys.
Good film, though. Watched it last week.
It was okay. Nothing special.

That sucks dude. Chin up, I'm sure something will come up soon. In the meantime what's wrong with a little agency work? At least it's work, and doesn't it pay quite well?
I heard the Muse song this morning on Absolute Radio. Really not sure if I like it or not. Needs a few more listens.
What's stopping you from doing that?
lol no it does not.
60 Quid a week i was, that was just my normal dole money with an extra tenner added on for transport.

Lol, well I guess it all depends on the type of work you do. I would get a tad more than that if I did agency work.

Why the long case?
Good morning UK-Gaf!
it is a pleasant morning in Flori..Eck cough eh um... uh, Shoreditch! I have been up all night doing work for a course I probably won't finish on time, and could use another cup of coffee, and perhaps an assortment of illegal stimulants.

You're back! Only a 2 week ban then eh? Lucky. What was it for? Was it something in the funny pictures thread? I can't remember if we figured it out or not.
Horse Detective

I requested a ban because I am finishing up some courses this week, and was really behind because of my Gaf addiction. It worked out rather well.
Mornin' Sean!
I'm having a nice day of studying today seeing as I told myself that I'd be doing that during my fortnight off work, but adventures kept cropping up. The weekend's almost in sight though. You guys and girls got any plans for it? The weather's looking a bit ropey, here in London, and I was hoping to get out on my new bike, if it arrives.

Thanks! That would be cruel of them to ban me for such a thing
Hopefully my day improves. I haven't gone to sleep yet, and have had way too much caffeine. I hope everyone is having a good week so far.

Really? It's nice and sunny and warm in the city! It is supposed to storm later though. I'll be glad for it, it's far too muggy at the mo.
I meant for this weekend. Rain and it'll also be much cooler.
EDIT: daviyoung, that made me laugh more than it should have

Ah fair enough. Yeah it looks shitty for this weekend.
Yep , this is definitely true. Every time I go home, as soon as I get anywhere near the bridge it starts pissing down. I think we possibly have worse weather than Scotland.
We only got watches about 20 years ago, we're so behind everyone else. Till then we basically had one person who would just count the seconds away. If they got themselves mixed up it was a nightmare.

So what you're saying is, is we are shit at controlling the weather, and we can't tell the time?
See that bridge? Please, cross it.
I'm saying it's cloudy. And at least the bridge is free on the way out. I've paid my cloud toll.

Just went out for lunch and it's surprisingly lovely here in leafy surrey. I'm sure that'll last until 2 minutes before I leave...
Gorgeous my end.
Just had a dream where I was at an IMAX and they were showing off new IMAX resolution video games (that shit was immersive!) but then suddenly it was actually my University and it was results day and my overall degree was a third and my boss was there and I was meant to be doing all this work I didn't understand and there were people who knew me but I didn't know them and everything was sponsored by McDonalds and Pizza Hut.
I've just woken up now at 13:30.
I honestly think I should stop eating cheese.

I can definitely agree with this.
Also, I FUCKING HATE SEAN TWATTING WALSH.
This unfunny prick.
Oh and I've been awake since half 7 because it was too hot to sleep. It's been raining, it's murky but good god is it humid.

I've done it again, being a sad bastard. I caved in buying Panzer Dragoon Saga for £150 (Pal version) so I can have it back in my collection again. The worst thing? I paid 100 for it again a few years back and lost it. This game is officially the most bought tripple dipped game in my existence, but I can't help it because it's the only thing I'd consider a masterpiece

Yes rain! Destroy that shit humidity!
I'm 22 and have no job <_<
@Musha i've had bad experiences with Agencies in the past, they pay low and generally mess you about.

That's... quite the financial investment. Just make sure you don't lose it this time, I guess.

I used to do that with my Master System & Mega Drive controllers, but the cables messed up really quickly. When I unboxed my N64, I saw how the cables were bundled and started to wrap my cables up in that way, and they lasted much longer! I still do it, which is quite sad.

It's price is absolutely inflated online though. Should be closer to £80.

I don't mind paying the extra price to get back into my hands, considering how bloody rare it is. I will make sure this never gets lost again <3
Somewhere very close to Huddersfield at the moment... Thunder in Kirklees is my new band btw.
And yeah I'm in a similar position with jobs. Agencies seem to give up on me after a month's temp assignment or a poor showing.

Hey! if you wanted it that badly then the price shouldn't matter
Kinda reminds me of the time I spent £70 on a copy of Snatcher for the Mega CD. Now if only I can find a decently priced Multi-Mega to play it on.
