Is Dub city centre flooded aswell, or is it just the outskirts?
Hasn't stopped raining here in Sligo in bout 4 days- I don't know how we're not flooded too. River looks a bit dodgy though.

The office next door mine got totally flooded last night which gave me a laugh because it gets flooded every time there is bad rain.Ehhh,flood prevention measures anyone?

There were some low lying spots in the city centre that flooded but most seems to have subsided now.. The outskirts suffered more it seems and some areas are still flooded.

Sure all will be forgotten this time next week. Heads firmly in sand(bags) just like the rest of the country.

Dang, didn't realise you were only on again for a short term with them. Would be rather hard to look for more work with the way the weather is keeping up now.

sorry, just saw this now. i had 6 months done, we kinda said another 3 months, the max it's meant to be is 9, so while he won't mention about my time being up, I'm not going to let him take the piss either. if he won't pay me a full wage, I shouldn't stay.

I agree, I didn't really think it was worth your while staying on when you did, but you seemed happy enough to.

Have you been looking around for other work much lately?

Kya1976 · 25-10-2011 7:43pm

I'm seriously loving my new The Who t-shirt:D
Plus I got High fidelity on DVD today, love that film!

How's everyone this fine evening??:)

Dr Galen · 25-10-2011 8:19pm

While hugely annoyed at the rain, and the stupid drainage system outside my house, which resulted in 3 feet of water!! Not even the jeep could get through it tbh, I'm actually in great form

Although I did nearly set the grill on fire....

sam34 · 25-10-2011 8:49pm

I've tidied the house, emptied the bins, had a bath and now I'm in bed with freshly changed bed linen and it feels divine.

plus, I'm working a half day tomorrow then I'm on holidays til 7th nov!!!

have 2 weekends away planned with different sets of friends plus some time with the folks in between - can't wait!

Sky King · 25-10-2011 9:00pm

God yeah. Tidying the house is like tidying my brain. Love the feelin when it's done!

D'Agger · 25-10-2011 10:07pm

I love 30 Rock, just had a philly steak too and took on my first two cases at the new job today - ahead of normal schedule for training in

Jazz this weekend - shaping up to be a good week

Otis Driftwood · 25-10-2011 10:28pm

stupidusername · 26-10-2011 8:13am

Ah well it's your last day. I think i'll give up trying to be on time,no matter how early I get the bus i'm always ten minutes late.

Dravokivich · 26-10-2011 8:40am

haha, work sent us out a bus which just picked a bunch of us up 5mins ago, but the driver seems to be lost.

D'Agger · 26-10-2011 8:43am

I can't wait for the weekend

I really need to get to bed early some night this week - been staying up too late and I'm wrecked today as a result

ToxicPaddy · 26-10-2011 10:17am

I'm the opposite, being good and going early to bed most nights this week.. have a Halloween party this friday so going to a late boozy one for me

On the subject of pies, I had an amazing pie in Newcastle at half time. Fook me, it was huge. A bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale and a pie for £5 - Bargain.

I love when you go somewhere and find the nicest food

Last time I was in London I ate with friends in Franco Manca - Pizza place near where we stayed.

Can't wait to go back to it, quite simply the best Pizza I've ever had

I need students that are willing to learn and show extreme attention to detail (never toast the lettuce!). I trained my mother well, I expect the same from all other students :P

I wonder how many people will read that and think I'm serious? :pac:

Now in fairness, toasted lettuce is no laughing matter!

I don't mean just toasting the lettuce. I mean preparing a full sandwich and toasting it. It's often nicer to toast the bread with meat and/or cheese and then add salad, sauce etc.

Having a nice relaxing night after a hellish day

Big bowl of pasta, couch, laptop, and rain beating off the windows. What more could I want?

Otis Driftwood · 26-10-2011 10:17pm

No rain for one!

Its a nice night up here actually,cool but nice.

Sauve · 26-10-2011 10:49pm

Yeah it's strange - was a beautiful day here, but now it's lashing and very windy. Perfect weather to get cosied up in

ToxicPaddy · 27-10-2011 7:50am

I would swap the pasta for a big steak sandwich and an ice cold beer.. apart from that, as long as its a real fire and not one of those fake gas things, its all good..
