One other thing.

A couple of years ago my sister bought me this gift pack with five miniature bottles of "classic" aftershaves. Stuff I'd never heard of.

I found them last night, and lashed one on me this morning. It's called Noir or something.

I smell like my grandad used to.

Like piss.

Ithink with all of this doom and gloom and economic calamities, it's gonna be mandatory to watch Fight Club this weekend!

Dub13 · 10-10-2008 10:58AM

I no I think they are staying there so just meeting up there and I am sure/hope we move on.

The world is ****ed we might as well get used to the idea. At least its pretty much the entire world and not just us.

America = F*cked.
Europe = F*cked
England = F*cked
Ireland = F*cked
Australia = F*cked (at least I think heard something about worst week in the stock market for X amounts of years and unemployment growing very quickly.)

Even Asia is getting hit.

This is what gets on my wick. At least the Oirsh of the 80's could flee like rats for pastures new, where the streets were paved with gold. Now, if I was to upsticks, is there really anywhere that isn't equally fcuked.

I'll opt for somewhere thats either equally as fcked or slightly less fcuk.....that has better bloody weather.

Aim for today: 5000th post.

Can't wait to get finished work today. The time is going very slowly here for a friday.
Been given a big fcuk-off calculation to do and haven't got the slightest notion how to do it. Can't be arsed asking how to do it either cause this will result in having to watch it explained for 45mins...
Hope it'll see me out till afternoon at least. I love the fact that people just think i work at a slow pace. Gives plenty of time to pursue other internet activities..

Anyone else ever catch the program 'Andy Richter Controls The Universe'? Fcukin brilliant stuff altogether.

ShiverinEskimo · 10-10-2008 11:18AM

What gets me about all this recession thing is that I am literally no worse off financially that I was 6 months ago, if anything I'm better off because I paid off my travelling loans. And yet I can't help but feel broke at the mere mention of the word recession.

It's a state of mind I tells ye.

Only concern of mine is that it may affect my lifelong dream to go travelling....:mad:

Otherwise I dont care because money isn't a massive priority of mine.

Hmmm, if only.

if I take my car loan, my savings, and my bank balance and disregard assets (like my bass and amp which, while worth a lot I would never sell, so they aren't worth anything in the real sense) then I'm down to the tune of approx €6500.

yep....minted!

John Mason · 10-10-2008 11:30AM

i totally agree it is a state of mind, my was fine until the fateful email this morning ................ so i think i will sell my house and move somewhere hot and work in a beach cafe, i think

Yeah, but Daddy and Mummy would step if needed.

Xavi6 · 10-10-2008 11:45AM

So level with me folks - is it really that bad over there?

I mean, I read the news and all that shizzle but that only says so much. I wanna go home in the next year or so but not if the place is fecked.

no, its grand, its just all media hype tbh

btw, how many people here have been made redundant or have been threatened with it

_blank_ · 10-10-2008 11:50AM

I was made redundant.

Took me, what? Six weeks to get as job?

Depends. I think there is hype about mass layoffs and repossession. However, if you're coming back and looking for a new job, then yeah, you probably will be fecked. Me and a few of the other OT brethren can attest to that. Ride out the storm in OZ where you've got a job would be my advice, unless you can line something up over here before you return.

Xavi6 · 10-10-2008 11:54AM

See I've got a great job and a good lifestyle but home's home and all that and I'm gonna get itchy feet soon. Decisions......
