Wow... just wow... we don't have anything like that here, that's insane! Might as well stick a piece of gum or toffee in there then (well...).

Daily thought:
Seeing the PS3 Slim has left me feeling nostalgic about my sexy black box.
I'm also **** scared about A-Level results...
Don't be, just think - someone is bound to have done worse, and the only thing that's waiting for them is a dole payment (there is always someone that does this). You won't have done that badly, surely? :D
Do you need a particular score to qualify for something?
Not exactly, employers tend to look for people with good qualifications, e.g diplomas, A*,1st degree's, that sort of stuff. It also helps to go in for higher education for 5+ years, because someone will appear more educated in, say, C++, than someone who has been in college for a week.:)
Well I need all A's otherwise I'll need to find a new place to live...
I can only think that having a good degree is what got me my job. It certainly wasn't my (complete lack of) charisma, or the fact that I told my potential employer that I knew nothing about the job I was applying for. :? Come to think of it, it probably also wasn't the fact that one of my proposed solutions to the problem I was given appeared to be (based on my piss-poor sketch of it) a magical floating robot arm.....you could say an anti-gravity robot arm. hmmm...
I wouldn't worry yeldar, I got half decent results and your track record is way better than mine. The parents shouldn't be too annoyed if you don't get all As, which you probably will anyway.
Well, student ID finally arrived and I have been to the dentist. Need a root canal :(
The tooth actually started to hurt like a mother****er just as I was getting ready to leave this morning, so I am really glad I didn't wait longer before making the appointment!
The man did some serious work in there, cleaned and hollowed out the whole molar, stuck some root-uh, things down there, and filled it up with a temporary filling. Took about an hour and 20m of solid work. Have to go back for a checkup in 1 week, and a rebuilding of the tooth in 2 weeks.
Cost for the entire job incl. all materials is going to be about 415 euros / £360... that's with the 20% student discount.
Seeing the amount of work and mats involved I actually dont think the price is that bad. At least I will gladly pay to have a happy healthy tooth again (and may it last many many years).
Ow, my brother had to have one of those; too many custard creams :lol.
Good luck there okam. Tis a bugger.
Well, I've had a lousy day today. I got insulted on my doorstep be a Jehovah's Witness of all people.
So far it's fine - the dentist's work didn't hurt one bit, and although he did warn me that I probably would be aching the rest of the day I haven't :D Bit of a pain to have to go back twice though, ah well.
Sooo... why did a jehovas' witness insult you on your doorstep? Do tell...
Good to hear. :D
Well, for 14 years of my life I actually was one myself, but I left around 7 or 8 years ago. I got called on by someone I used to know back in the religion and she was asking about my beliefs now. I told her I was a Wiccan/Pagan/Kemetian and she just kept asking questions. She then turned round and told me I was naive. Gotta love it, eh?
Infidel!!!!!!:D
Just kidding, I'm an atheist through and through.;)
uh... so the person who has actually experimented with several different things is naive, but the person who decided on one thing and hasn't tried something else is the sophisticate? Is that what your acquaintance was saying? Has she tried anything else?
Escaping the watchtower?
Was Jimi Hendrix ever a Jehovah's Witness? :D
No, he was a guitar player.;)
LOL @ mdhay
Lance: Obviously. She didn't even know what a Wiccan was. She actually asked "Is it something to do with those goth hoodie people?"
Sigh. Ignorance is so often satisfied with itself.
Just had to.:g

Oh lordy, that's sweet. I'm saving that to show my folks. :P
I actually got hold of a copy of their 'Elders Manual' once and read it. You should hear the section about husbands chastising their wives like children. xD
Whatever you do, don't bleed.
In the words of Jesse Ventura: "I ain't got time to bleed!"
Seriously though, you should have heard her blabber on about how I was possessed by Satan. Apparently, he made me turn away from Jehovah and have the experiences I did. I had to laugh.
What does it say?Quote:

It, to cut a long story short, states that wives should be in charge of sorting out the kids, but the husbands should chastise their wives if they do not do as they are told.
Oh and don't forget the old "Women have smaller brains, so that's why we never give them leadership roles. They aren't qualified." thing.
Eh, I thought The Bible was bad..:D
Wow, that's some serious shizzle. A lady I used to work with had been in an obscure sect a few years before I met her. I have no idea how she got tangled up in that in the first place; she seemed like a strong, independent person to me, not someone who would "fall" for some "we are awesome!" happy clappy christian sect (as she briefly described them to me, allthough she didn't like to talk about it).
Anyway, after a while she managed to see that these people had a *bit* of a skewed look on life and religion, and left the group. She ended up in therapy for years after that just to wipe their "teachings" from her mind, and while I was working with her she would still get messages and visits from the people in the sect, basically they would come to her house to inform her that she was going to die a horrible death for leaving the group, all sorts of diseases and painful things would happen to her, her future children would be born deformed and live a life of suffering, really ****ing horrible stuff. Apparently the did once offer her to pay for her sins, and asked for some ridiculous amount of money to give her a blessing so that she could live happily ever after.
Happy clappy gang, for sure... and totally awesome. Until you break away from them. Not sure what happened in the end but I sure hope she managed to shake them off.
Holy **** you told her THAT?!Quote:

@okam
Religious zealots are money - grabbing pricks, eh? :lol
@Frances_Penfold - Thing is, I WANT them to know what I am now. The more they know, the less they have to do with me. Believe it or not, they strongly avoid Wiccans around here. Like the plague. :P I'm like the local leper with the Christian community that actually KNOW my beliefs.
@okam - Sounds familiar. I once knew an old lady when I was with the JW's who used to tell people they were going to die and everything. Lol.
And as for money, a lot of JW's don't know it, but they are part of a pyramid scam. Oh well... Sucks for them.
You are a Wiccan and you play wipeout, lol. Cool
I also make cupcakes, omelettes and like punching small children.
Oh wait...
It takes all types, makes for an interesting world.
Sounds like a country song.
@racheal....
dosn't wiccan=witch:dizzy
if so have you got a broom like harry potter.:p..also can you fly on it.:p..if so do you have a pilot licence.........and lastly did playing wipeout help you fly on broom to tesco to get the weekly shop..:dizzy:dizzy
:p:p
Yes, Wiccan does = Witch.
I just had my broom waxed. I like to fly into teenager's bedrooms at night and give them acne. It's a nasty job, but someone has to do it, kiddo..
Excellent [rubs hands in anticipation] I know a few unruly teens who deserve acne! lol...
How long have you been a Wiccan for, how did you get into it.
For quite some time now. I can't really recall the exact date... It was not long after I stopped with the whole Jehovah's Witness thing. I just eased into it. I'd already started to develop similar beliefs, then I was introduced to it properly by my brother's partner's mother.
