Work keeps giving me work to do, which clearly isn't right. All this and trying to get the NUFC box office to give me any kind of salient information. Life is a cruel mistress.

"I see you have edited something despite claiming not to have" - could those alarm bells be honking any louder?

I got it. I just chose to ignore it.

And to think he still had enough personality to charm his way into the delightful Kathy Secker's kecks.

They will need it, looks like they will settle back down there for a long time to come Jewel knocked them back. Sarah McLachlan and Lisa Loeb told them to fuck off an' arl.

The Submarines - Darkest Things

OK, I'll be the one who does the Emperor's New Clothes thing then - I've tried and I just don't get this show at all.

Never really got into the kiddie-oriented ones, though the cut-out league ladders with the little tabs for each team were great, albeit a right arse-around and you could never be bothered with updating them after about mid-October. Got into When Saturday Comes at a fairly young age, so I suppose that pretty much shaped my view on footie. Same sort of timeframe for The Mag and, of course, the legendary Half Mag Half Biscuit, if fanzines count.

Well, had them brought by a mate from Germany. Class.

I think that's my favourite.

It may be illegal to give a bad reference, but surely there's a decent difference between having a standard-issue "he fulfilled his duties satisfactorily" and an actively good reference from your first post-uni job?

Floored Genius - The Best of Julian Cope and The Teardrop Explodes Patchy compilation really, but some cracking tracks.

More the latter than the former I reckon. Unless you think there's a realistic possibility of showing your successor up so badly that they'd get rid of him and offer you his job in return? Sounds unlikely when it's put like that, but companies and bosses are strange. Otherwise, I'd say keep it up as best you can under the circumstances to make sure you get a decent reference and plenty of goodwill, but there's no need to be shy about looking around for other stuff in the meantime. They're the ones letting you go, after all.

FYP etc.

Happy birthday, you big ol' voyeur, you.

Don't see the problem myself.

If only... I particularly like the dice.

Good man yourself. Now quit.

Don't tempt me. I assume that, ultimately, laptops must be able to put up with being hot as otherwise there'd have been a fundamental change in their design by now. It just feels like it can't possibly be healthy for them (or one's furniture or lap, but that's a different matter entirely).

If only you would.

I think that's a fair enough point like. Aye, to be fair we were all looking at the fixture list and expecting (or at least hoping) to be well up at this point.

very true, and no europe and knocked out of league cup....should be top anyway. Should have been promoted to our very own DIVISION ZERO for being so awesome.
