Wondering here,
Who works on there Home PC at home for there source of main income?
I wouldnt' say its my main source of income Kigo - but here and there, I get work submitted via email which I'd prefer to deal with at home... Mainly it's sitting in the office, and feature planning with advertisiers and sponsors over the phone and in board rooms (hardly ever board room s once you know what your clients/sponsors expect of you though - so it's mainly over the phone)
Other times I'm dealing with the dumb ASA (the Advertising Standards Agency) for stupid little annoyances - however, the publishing house I work for, doesn't pay my phone bill at home so buggered there slightly.
I do take the piss though... and have had a few warnings from the group manager. But, I always say, measure my performance stat, my KPI's show I reach well above what they expect me to, and that keeps em quiet!
well I don't have a job because I'm an idiot but I do play online roulette/poker if that counts... I don't suppose so...
I reckon i'd prefer working at home anyways - gets you out of the house and it stops people like me from vegging all day ;)
Playing poker online counts if you're Tom Dwan [his netname is durrr]
slight change of topic but never mind...
I have a quezzie: after using the search feature, is there a way of going straight to the first page where desired word appears? most of the time I can filter through the thread by myself bit it does become a tad tedious when I have to trawl through >100 pages pky to find that I've missed what I was looking for...
is this durr man a bit good then? I'll be sure to steer clear of him
You have to choose "Show results as posts" and then to click on the related link ;)
Dwan is a millionaire just from playing poker. He is vEry good. I think he's about 21 or more probably 22 years old now.
Speaking of poker, at my old job, my boss was the owner of partypoker.com.
Thats right, the most repetative, annoying and widespread advertisement your ever going to find on the internet.
In hindsight, i should have hit him for that :)

hey everyone,
here's a random story of misery....i went to my local Asda (Wal Mart equivilent in the UK to you guys across the pond) for some reason they had 10, 40gig backwards compatible ps3's that they had to get rid of (the guy didn't explain why fully, but there was some odd reason!) going for £105, add to that a 10 percent discount i could get through a friend....but alas i was half an hour late. All gone!!! :( :( :(
i had resigned to waiting for the slim ps3 to finally take the plunge and get one, but getting one for just over 90 quid would have been amazing.
i was pi&*^d off for a bit after that i can tell you. would have been perfect with Fury so close to release.
I wonder if they were Supplied by the company EUK. I know they supplied supermarkets with games not sure if they did hardware or not or if it would even work the same way.
Basically I got Fallout 3 and Farcry 2 for 6 quid each at Morrisons and the explanation for the cheapness was that since EUK went bust the stock was instantly de-valued. They send games back to the supplier once the said game falls out of the top 20 in the charts, I guess they had no one to send them back too however I don't see how that would work with a console.
the guy at the counter did try to explain it, something about stock been zeroed and they needed to get rid of them...i'm not sure...kinda lost interest when he said they had all gone! :(
No Asa, never you buddy... You are a living legend!Quote:

So as my brother is driving we notice all the main roads are getting flooded so my brother decides to just go through and we eventually make it to the gamestop before the streets got flooded. We enter and start looking for pure because I called them ten minutes before we left and they said they had a copy for $6.99 we ask the lady at the counter only to find that someone bought the copy five minutes ago. Just when I think that the trip was a waste my brother notices that they had one copy of Pulse for 9.99 on sale so i bought that. As we walk out of the store the sky is clear and its not raining anymore and most of the streets are dry. I really hate how the weather changes in randomly in Las Vegas.
So it isn't just England...:lol
hello
i'm bored and feeling down
i have all these things i want to say but i cannot remember any of them
gutted
JT took his time to make a statement about his future didn't he. he probably did what gerrard did a few years back - nearly joined megabucks before deciding it was a better idea to stay put where he was revered, and probably eke some more money out of his club who want their talisman to stay into the bargain
still the summer's not over. i hope he doesn't join citeh though; top heavy and even more classless with champ man moneys then chelsea were
also what's with investors, sheikhs, oligarchs, franchise owners etc. buying up every club in england now - notts county? ****ing bangor city? perhaps they're planning to make a 50 team premiership, or maybe 3 premierships or something; or maybe - no! crazy idea - but wait, maybe, just maybe, they're trying to tap into the vast revenue pool generated by tv money and merchandise from british football fans?
:nod
weird what football has become
wow mega-rant
bye now
Michael Schumacher is back!! YES!
If only he wasn't standing in for favourite driver....Poor Felippe....
Schumi is my man :D
Holy crap, are you kidding?!? They actually got him to drive in Massa's place...wow.:guitar I hope Massa will be Ok, though, that looked nasty. A coil spring to the head at 180 MPH has gotta create some serious problems...Quote:

why my favourite driver? why?
of course shumi is my all time fave so i'm glad it was him who was chosen to drive (albeit temporarily)
He's a great driver, but I can't help but feel the expectations of him will be too great, especially in an off-pace car.
And if schumi does come back maybe kimi will pull his finger out and drive good
how would it look if schumi out performs him
interesting times
i feel bad for massa, unlucky as hell, beaten by a glock slip on his home track last season, despite winning the race losing the title by one point to hamilcunt... and then a freak accident spring to the head from countryman barichello's car that could end his racing career... poor guy :?
and bmw sauber are pulling out, hmm. were will heidfeld and especially kubica go next?
My bf just made me watch this film called the midnight meat train......
Its was absouloutly disgusting, it had vinny jones in it as a psychopath killer and he just killed people in the most graphic ways you can imagine and there was a bit in the film when he hit a man in the back of the head with a meat tenderising hammer so hard, both of his eyeballs flew out of the front of his head.
It was definatley the most nasty horrific film i have ever seen, and im never gonna get on a late train again:nod
I just found out how to clone stuff on Oblivion on PS3.:D
i drank around 15 pints of bulmers and kronenberg yesterday and got a headache :(
chester is a husk of a town, pretty and attractive but vacuous and disgusting when populated by locals and tourists and no students during the holidays
some lad having a fight outside a takeaway store yesterday - total, total ****. policewoman took him aside to cool off and he still pushed her aside and ran back to try and smack the other guy. his poor girlfriend's saying 'if you love me calm down' and i felt sorry for her
delighted those manc redshite cunts lost to chelsea today, poor fergie, take it on the chin whiskeybreath
I go in holidays and wish you all a nice august month ;) I sent some messages on the psn but it's not very convenient so I'm sorry if I forgot you, nothing personnal ;) See you all and enjoy the best racing game in all times :rock
I swear every day more and more people i know talk almost endlessly about WoW. Doesnt matter about age or gender, everyones corrupted.
Honestly, i might have to start killing people if i keep hearing people talk about it :beer
God i hate WoW.
What's WoW? ;)
Wallys on wipeout ;)
Fellow WoW hater here. It gets under peoples skin too much. Starts off as endless gaming sessions, then endless chat sessions, then clandestine real-life meetings and the next thing you know, it's grounds for divorce. It's evil :frown:

While having a late night snack yesterday, a large piece of one of my teeth fell out. 2nd upper molar, left side. I have an old amalgam filling it that tooth, and that is probably partly if not fully responsible for this. Many of my friends around my age have had to have their old amalgam fillings replaced with the new porcelain fillings.
Price of dental care being what it is here, I could really use my students' discount (25%), but I only paid my fees yesterday and it will be at least 4-5 days if not longer until I recieve the new student ID card valid for this semester. At least the missing bit of the tooth is just annoying, and not painful. So now I wait, and hope I can get by with a porcelain filling and don't have to get a crown or whatever it's called when you pull the old tooth and put in a fake one.
FML...
@okam Yeesh. I know how you feel with that one. I had a chunk fall out of one of mine and I can't afford to go to the dentist either. I had to make do with one of those awful temporary DIY dental kits. The only dentists around here charge stupid prices. I can't even get discounts, because Incapacity Benefit doesn't cover it. Ugh.
If the filling falls out, then the remaining natural part of the tooth has no support; biting something firm could easily break the remaining bits. Don't chew on ice to keep cool!
I thought that would be obvious Lance.
The only previous advice I have taken from any forum member regarding dental matters was from Stinkelroy.
It was very good advise [That's on the proviso that you were not expected to make a speech].....CLOVE OIL is DEAD Numbing to the tooth & somewhat unexpectedly [unless forewarned] to your tongue and every other part of ones mouth.
Not the greatest training speech I've ever performed.:turd
I remember clove oil being somewhat nice tasting. It's just a shame I had a mishap with that involving my cheek, my teeth and a horrendously long wait to have my mouth seen to at the hospital. These days I don't use it anymore. Having a nice taste certainly does not outshine the mouth-related injury risks. :P
blackwiggle, of course it's obvious, but that doesn't mean that I haven't ignored the danger and foolishly chewed on ice, anyway, :D
* pictures blackwiggle drooling heavily infront of a crowd * Hahaha :P
Most of my amalgam filling is still intact, its part of the actual tooth that fell out (allthough there is a bit of amalgam attached to the bit that came off). No exposed nerves I think, at least no pain while eating or drinking today, and I had ice cream, ice cold water, and hot tea in addition to hot meals. I didn't chew on that side, but I'm sure something must have touched that one tooth during the day, especially the liquids. I am a bit worried about more bits coming loose but when I checked in the mirror the rest looks solid enough. Just a bit of a rough edge around the "hole". SHould be OK while I wait for that student ID card.
BTW, "temporary DIY dental kits", what on earth are those? Like DIY filling? o.O
Prices are bad here, but not for everyone. Everyone gets free dental care until they turn 22, students get discounts (varies from place to place), pensioners and those on benefits or disability can get most of the cost covered, same if you need care due to illness (cancer) or you get in an accident (reconstructions, etc).
It's really only costly for otherwise healthy adults with paychecks (and students age 22+, of which I am one).
Aye, they are. A lot of Dental repair kits only last so long though, so you'll probably have no choice but to go see a dentist eventually. I've had to make do with using it, waiting for it to fail and re-using it.
