I applied for a PhD today.. just in case I actualy want to do it!! Still not convinced 4 more years in college :eek:

My masters thesis supervisor was trying to talk me into doing a PhD a few weeks ago... there is no way I'm even considering 4 more years in college.

What are you planning on doing it in?

Dropped a pair of suit trousers and tie into a dry cleaners for convenience, had used them for suit before but never checked the price list (i know i know). anyway the trousers were €7.50 - not too bad, anyway the tie was €7 - wtf?? and worst of all i had noticed it was €5 on their price list but they charged me €7 - €2 more cause it was stained according to the receipt - again wtf?? why would i use the dry cleaners in first place if it wasnt stained.:mad::mad: i ve been had

I've pm'd you tunguska.

One good trick for watching sports online is to sign up to bet365 via a US or Australian proxy and you can get live UK sports.

Anybody drink Coors light? Fancied a few beers with the match and went with the "light" option to help me feel a bit better about the additional calories. Quite tasty if I'm honest. Match isn't half bad either

rainbow kirby · 12-05-2010 09:53PM

Coors Light is rotten, and I don't know how anyone can drink it. My 17 year old sister loves it though.

Ah it's not so bad. I do like bland beers though. I'm letting some awful farts however

That probably explains it - I like my beer to taste like beer, not water :pac:

Delayed response but I hope you weren't comparing me to a 17 year old girl! Your sister shouldn't be drinking anyway;)

Fully aware of that, but we live in Dublin 24 so she's actually a late starter

You lucky lucky bawstard, enjoy every minute of it, you'll have a ball. Spent time in Melbourne before and found it a bit gloomy. Get up to Sydney - magical place.

reading that just ruined my Friday :P
I thought I was doing well having a boss free day on my last Friday in this job..... so Jealous!

misty floyd · 14-05-2010 10:32AM

I see friends updates on Facebook, things like: " was just swimming with tropical fish and a dophin" or "35 degrees heat, bbq and beer...you can't beat it".

Is that to make us all jealous or ........? I'm getting jealous of it all. Its every day and its beginning to annoy me.

What about posting on Facebook: "I did 38mins at a 10km today...yippee!"...is that the same? Is that boasting?

Edit: I'm not suggesting you are boasting 04...thats totally different and all good.

Starting to watch The Green Mile at this time on a Sunday evening was a really bad idea...

A little piece of my childhood died today with the passing away of Ronnie James Dio - original and best Rainbow line up.
RIP Ronnie!
