I just like using gold and silver. I have paint markers in a fair few colours, but for highlighting a lighting company logo on a fireworks picture, gold and silver work best

i managed to avoid the christmas dinner my office had. i took 1 look at that canteen they were having it in and thought 'fuck eating in there when it's crammed to death.' the thought of taking the food back to my desk was also unappealing, much rather get out of the building for my hours break and grab something from the bakery =P

It is an indication that one has reached a certain level of fail, and such an achievement needs to be differentiated from mere simple/implied facepalms and their various derivations.

Meh, we have a day to remember someone who tried to blow up the houses of Parliament.

@Kalidas- because its not native to the UK, and its now gotten blown way out of proportion. The mix of UK and US has shifted more towards US. If that makes any sense

It's just a more every day thing i dont think that there's been any British influence on Haloween, it's just more 'mainstrean' (i hate that word -.-)

Im so glad Halloween didnt kick off here, we don't need to copy every aspect of North american culture.

Pah off to uni to film sock puppets. Really not in the mood. But at least once this is done all I need to do is DVD the video, and wrap it in socks for hand in on Monday. Then its back to my corporate design work, type rules posters and poster advertising my pretend travel writings. But come Wednesday I'm done with uni for this year, just an essay on branding to write over Christmas and a portfolio to put together for assessment.

Week and a bit until I can go see my parents

Still doing uni work, I finished ages ago and got my mark today. All pass or better

Installing windows 7 on my 4 year old laptop was a complete success double WIN.

Bless my dear friend for his contribution to my "collection". Now with the latest addition, it all totals to over 635GB, and I've still got another dude holding onto 300GB++ of unique stuff. My goal is to reach over 1TB, and it looks like it'll happen before new year.

Ugh... what's this Pernod stuff, I take one sip and I'm like yuck! Weird taste. Everything else available right now is at 35-40%, after trying most of them my head hurts. My little brother's younger than me by a whole lot and he's doing fine, him and my parents can keep going but I need to retire.

Good night people.

It really shits me when technology does not do what it's told to.

Tried the demo of Acronis True Image so that I could copy the contents of my 500GB HDD onto a new 1TB one I bought today. Spend ages figuring out how to use this piece of shit software, finally get all the settings right, press 'Go', and nothing happens.
FUCK.

Ah man, just captured the raw footage we took of our puppet show yesterday and it almost made me cry laughing. It was so hard being quiet while we were doing it! Theres a hippy that sounds like he's making sex noises while looking at a floating cow, and a tudor whos humping a pig! xD

FUCK.

I used it the other day to clone a hdd, one click and done. I bet the demo doesnt allow you to copy anymore then 100gb or something stupid like that.

Omg Fetisov makes a comeback tonight. This is the first time I've wanted to watch a KHL game.
Fortunately the game, CSKA Moscow - SKA St. Petersburg, does air on Swedish television.

Hockey ftw!

I've only got 5 days to lose as much weight as possible, any tips?

What is the goal? Being less heavy or looking better? If the latter, clearly some good work outs will help (but muscular gain will offset any loss weight since muscle is denser than fat so, while you'll look slimmer, you'll weight more).

What are your eating habits and do you usually do a lot of sports?

kurandoinu · « **Reply #10994 on:** December 11, 2009, 08:10:01 PM »

5 days isn't a lot of time to lose weight via options like sport. There are intense diets for things like this. But you tend to put the weight straight back on after

in 5 days? doubt you'll get anywhere. but u can try sticking to main meals only with no snacking, only sleep after 3/4 hours after you've eaten (u don't digest it properly otherwise) ofc this won't be as effective as exercising. doing weights then something like running or rowing or cycling (swimming is good too) would get the job done.......if you had more then 5 days that is.

That gave me quite a giggle. I like to call it salmonella soup.

And because my boyfriend loves my chicken wraps, and I bread my own chicken strips. Which involves putting chicken in raw egg and then into bread crumbs.

I make a damned nice chicken wrap though. One good thing came from working for the Colonel at least!
