Just passed my 17th Edition Wirinig Regulations Course to become an Electrician :D

That means the safety of YOUR home can legally be put into MY HANDS!! :beer

Congrats :g, u can earn an absolute ton of wonga from that, a proper trade job that peeps will always be in need of

mates rates?.. :lol i know a tad cheeky from someone whos only been in 'the zone' a few months :P

Congratulations,OBH. So what type of electrician work will you do?
And my school(semester) has ended,until next year.

Always good when schools out! :beer

This one covers commercial & domestic installation.... so 80 odd % of jobs your going to find :g especially at first.

Going to try and get qualified to be able to test appliances etc within the work places. Good money for doing sweet bugger all :)

I'm VERY interested in what Microsoft would call a "System Builder". I'm VERY interested in computers and would one day love to build my own computer under my own 'mini company'

For some reason OBH I thought you were going be a teacher?

Anyway well done, a trade is good to have. I can see an appearance on Rouge Traders looming ;)

Really wanted to teach abroad, and before things hit the fan was going to :paperbag

Not complaining with how things are going now though :)

Well, I'm close to pass through my current semester in college next week. So next one I'm gonna take is I'm going to learn to do digital art :D.

i did something SOOOO dumb last night.

i was at work and i had to wright down the date, i didnt know the date but i thought "oh wait it was the 31st yesterday so today must be 32nd" then i looked at what i wrote down and felt like a dumbass :D

Applying for a Games Dev course at Strathclyde Uni, took me ages to decide but I think i'm making the right choice....as I found out that Q&A Testing is very accessable if you get this qualification, 4 year major course...not just got to finish this last year at school. Pretty pointless as I already have the neccesary grades :/

Finally decided to start uploading some stuff from my travels.

Have some Vegas

:g

In their infinite wisdom, YouTube has blocked your vid. :s

This is bullshit. Right, off to unblock it :g

Edit: Link now works afaik. Suck on that Mr YouTube :mr-t

Pretty lights.:eek

Found out tonight my brother is planning to come home from Switzerland permanently. This sucks as we don't do well living in the same house. Although it's good, because now I can move out without feeling guilty about leaving my dad alone. Time to find a spare room in a house full of gorgeous model-type girls, who also happen to be very good at intelligent conversation, and into the concept of 'free-love'...with geeky men...and other girls. Wish me luck!

Go Saturn! See if they're impressed by your 'Barrel Rolling' skills. ;)

I'm in sheer pain, just got home from the dentist and I'm afraid of passing out of blood loss after the doctors extracted my wisdom tooth. I got home, my gums bleeding like crazy, I thought I wasn't going to live through this. it was the most agonizing experienced I'm currently living through :'(.

Nowhere near enough blood goes to your gums, you make more than you lose. :g

It's still very painful, mdhay, and... you get the rest (dentist-related).

I do; I haven't had any wisdom teeth taken out (I'm surprised), but I had a molar taken out without anesthetic.I am Rambo! lol :D

Yeah. Anyway, my sheer pain is starting to slowly reduce.

The mouth has got to be one of the most sensitive parts of your body, I once got in a fight which resulted in me getting a broken jaw. They had to dislocate my jaw to insert a titanium link where it had broke, then they wrapped a load of wire round my teeth so the could then put elastic bands between the top and bottom set of teeth to keep the jaw from moving. That wasn't the worse bit though, when they took all the wire out, they just spayed anaesthetic on my gums, then they pulled all the wire out between my teeth, I've never know pain like it ever.

My word that sounds painful.
Any injury on your jaw is painful (and an easy way to get knocked clean out), and any injury on your lips, gums, or teeth results in an awful lot of blood.

Your experience sounds like the worst of all worlds mate :) Ouch!

i almost crashed during my driving lesson yesterday :D

damn those stunning girls in the lane next to me :g

Good to know Kraken, you can eat now, right?

Until my gums are fully healed, I can't eat anything other than broth from soup, mdhay.

I remember having and impacted wisdom tooth removed, I know what your going through, not fun, my face swelled up so much I looked like a hamster.
Not quite as painful or as debilitating as when I broke both my collar bones at the same time in a cycling accident, every movement was agony while they set, trying to sleep, eat, wash etc, then further torture came with the physio therapy afterward's, as all the muscles had weaken due to lack of use and their positions were now different.

Dayyyum.

Well, the pain from my lower jaw is still there and, to make matters worse, I'm also suffering from nausea, causing me to induce vomiting :(.

That is one run of bad luck. Feel sorry for ya.

Well, I'm able to chew food again, though my pain from my lower jaw still remains, since I need to take it easy when I chew food.
