    If anyone could give me a hand it would be greatly appreciated.

    I'm making a game of Jeopardy. I've got 9 of the 12 categories done. If anyone has any good ideas for a category (potentially word play based) that I could make five questions out of I'd be very grateful.


    Fun with flags :)

    I got a new phone. It's a blokia.

    Just kidding. It is a Nokia though. So far I love it. It's only been a few hours, and it's android after me being an apple fanboy for so long. But it's grand!

    Im planning on getting a new phone also and looking at Nokia also. May I ask which one you got Sulli and how its been after a few days?

    Nokia 7.1. I love it so far. It’s got an amazing camera. I’ve had no issues to date!

    I work in a sensititive enough field and we were told not to use those due to the snooping issues.

    I got a Nokia 7 Plus on Vodafone when I switched. Lovely phone so it is. Have a look at the Chinese Android phone thread for some of the Xiaomi phones. Save you a far bit and good quality.

    I am sitting on 68%. I doubt my thesis was below 60 and the last assignment was an open book test... I’m as close to qualified as I can get.

    How’s the new job going MrsF? Not really ‘new’ any more, you’re probably well settled in.

    Good luck, Sully. Do we have to call you Dr Sully when you pass?

    I put in for a temporary transfer within my dept to cover my counterpart with another brand.

    Its basically the same job, but will look good that i have worked with both brands, if a higher up job pops up.

    :pac:

    Trying times indeed :P

    I'm hoping if I get through the interview I'll get an offer in Sligo which would mean a lot less travelling. And normal working hours again!

    I really like my current desk. My back is to a wall which is good for skiving. New desk wouldn't be.
