I'm dressed today :P

You should have taken Monday off Sorry you are tired, but the fact you were at EP makes me want to have very little sympathy for you either! :pac:

I would if I was allowed but another person already had the day booked off so I had to come back when I really wanted to stay the extra night. Stupid other peoples and their inconsiderate lives!

It was great craic. My first festival and great fun but that was mostly down to the company I was with. Found many of the acts to be a little boring for my tastes but loved Ham Sandwich and Le Galaxie.

I went to electric picnic.

Jealousy is in every fibre of my tired being! Sounds like an awesomes weekend. Gutted that I didn’t go.

Waiting to see if I got tickets to Robbie Williams. If I did, then I get to see two of teenage idols next week! Already going to see Leonard Cohen

No latte thanks Pem!
Strong black coffee all the way, none of that bubbly stuff

Pembily

I'll bribe him Awec! He likes me as I'm a fellow culchie...

Sauve, strong black coffee and a muffin just for you!

Between web developers and motorists my brain is fried already.

Just back from a driving lesson there as I failed in Raheny a few weeks back. Instructor said that the first time pass rate (nationally) is only 18%. :eek: Would have expected it to be a fair bit higher, tbh.

I've got my address in as well. They said we'd know by noon today. Waiting.

Think only act at Picnic I really would've wanted to see was Turn. My last festival was Oxegen years ago. too old and like my sleep too much now. :P

My home town has one of the highest pass rates. Thankfully I passed the first time and didn't even do the test in my home town!

Best of luck, when's your test?

The Black Oil

Thanks I reapplied straight away, but don't have a new date yet. Did a pre-test with my instructor before hand, but test itself was a different (easier) route. Instructor said I was driving well enough to pass, so hopefully it'll go better on the second go. Said he also had to sit a test himself a few weeks back - an senior RSA type sits in the back and observes how he gives lessons. Fun!

Raheny and Finglas are amongst the lowest first time pass rates anyway.

CastorTroy

Won't say how many tries it took me to pass the test.

Hello all, busy with the new job but popped in to say happy Tuesday and to prove that I'm not dead *toddles back to work

Hiya Paulie
Glad to hear it's going well. Come back and fill us in when sometime!

Tonight is my last night in work, then it's "doing SFA until the 19th" when I skidaddle on of here for a year or so.
I frickin' cannot wait to spin out those work gates for the last time tomorrow morning!:D

Argh! Only thing worse would be if you didn't have the interweb. I remember when I first moved into my house had no internet or Sky. So my dvd and game backlog got a good bit cleared

Nothing says "welcome back to college!" quite like an assignment on yer first day...

The Black Oil wrote: »

Kitten, do you have to submit your assignments online? I did and had a mini panic because my module wasn't listed at all, thought I'd missed the deadline, but found it in the end!

Mine are all handed in on the day - there's only 65 of us in the course anyway so it's not a crazy amount of paper I guess. Also, a lot of my assignments are posters or resources (or music compositions..yes really ) so we can't really email them!

Also hiya BadGirl!

So, you're doing as promised, being in college and scouting around on boards..:pac:

Panthro, have you seen Canadian dollars? I can't remember which ones exactly, but some have a transparent window thing, it's a bit weird.

Like the Northern Bank £5? Best note ever. The Euro should've been like it.

Well, I would be if afternoon lectures weren't cancelled... :P
Oh and next week I'm going on what's basically a school tour! (Oh yes really. )

Also found out today that apparently we're gonna be tested, as after the summer exams the lecturers think some of us might have literacy problem...yes, in a teaching college. :pac:

grames_bond

Hi all,

how are we today?

Welcome to the newbies! tGC is the best place in boards (imho) so you are more than welcome - pull up a chair.....just not the lazy boy - that's mine!!

@kitten - I am not surprised one bit - I swear to you I would be amazed if some of my teachers could SPELL the word teacher let alone teach!
