I realized I hadn't it in my collection yet. A real shame.

Da hell man? I've had that for five years now.

Well, back then a friend of mine copied the CD on tape for me. Later when I got Internet, I downloaded the CD, so I could listen to it on my PC... and now I realized how awesome it would be, to have this album sitting on my shelf in all it's glory.

I have been slacking with buying CDs as well, lately.

Getting a job helps more but obviously that's not the case. I even had a letter today from one job application telling me I was unsuccessful. Why not just email me to say that to save the money?

Did you apply via e-mail? If so, I really wonder why they should send a letter back.

Something to the CV, though?

Good point. But what does it matter if nobody gives a "real" job anyway?

Yeah, how many job vacancies that aren't bogus are actually out there...

I think the main point is that interns are a lot cheaper than people with a yearly salary.

It can grow.

The lack of atmosphere is another thing we should look into.

That can also be arranged.

This is the first and most important thing that has to be arranged.

41,000 Saves!

Yeah, it was Madness on that episode but I forget the song. And yes, the appearance of Motorhead is indeed awesome.

In fact, all of the Young Ones were brilliant!

I agree, although it does have some padding to it at times.

Ah yes, I recalled him stopping at level 48 for ages but then returned. Once in a while we see such users but it's rare.

He's not at the pace he used to maintain, but he's still annoyingly regular...

I too have noticed that his pace has dropped. Hey, it's hope for both of us.

What do you expect from me when I was up with some friends until 7 in the morning making jokes about the drunken one?

That you're naive?

Pretty much.

Employment fascism strikes again! I had a call yesterday asking me for an interview today and what the cunt didn't have the decency to ask me before confirming the interview was if I had my own transport. After declaring today that I didn't have one, she told me it was early morning shift and that it wouldn't be possible to get there at all. Well thanks for wasting my fucking time and my parents' petrol. Of course, details like the hours are not always stated on the Job Centre website so I have to blindly apply to jobs.

I was meant to reply to this yesterday but one more year is nothing at this point so enjoy a breeze over the 12 months for the big 10. For me, I've still got 22 months but it'll come soon enough. Also, the box works best with purple aura so good call on that.

My dad is really fighting against this. They feel saying one can't work because they don't have their own transport is an act of discrimination. If it was a job for a bus driver or a trucker, it's fair enough that the ability to drive is mandatory but this is just a receptionist role. It's not the first time I've been discriminated (if you want to look at it that way) since the job for working in a casino didn't want to take me on due to not having transport to cover me overnight. I did say to them there was a night bus I could take but that wasn't enough for them...

Just wondering, what did you do after school, I probably should know the answer but did you go to college or get an apprentice job (thing), or go straight into work?

Tried college; that shit failed. Tried applying for apprenticeships; all the fuckers just rejected me. It's even worse now to get an apprenticeship due to my age. Between when I left college in 2007 and my job at the school in 2010, I just had the odd work placement to bide some time.

Wow, what a massive history lesson I've had tonight.

I've just come back from the presentation evening, hosted by my cricket club (complete with farcical raffle!) and have been given a great insight into what the village was like in 1977, when we went to Lord's and won the national village knockout tournament, but how the team spirit that existed back then actually exists today.

I'm so proud of this bunch of lads that I call my club - we are a great team and I was so privileged to meet some of these players, all of whom remember me as a kid, but I have little-to-no recollection of. Now I've had a chance to set the record straight with some of the heroes of mine, whom I've actually managed to meet.

Level 11 It's a low level but it looks kinda cool.

Level 44 is now mine

If it was the last level icon it would actually be a big deal since I wanted those blades for a while. However since they changed the icon to what it is now it is not really a big deal >_<

not really a big deal, though >_<

What did you study at college and was the apprenticeships on the same subject?

I did Computing for a single year and only got a grade of a D. I knew it wasn't worth covering A2 of the subject if that's the best I get.

Don't give with the apprenticeships btw, my friend who is 22 got on one just this year.

It's not more to do with my age, it's more to do that these con artists advertise jobs that don't even exist and only waste your time with applying to their training programmes which afterwards they'd forget you ever existed. I don't like being played around and the Apprenticeship website is an utter mess. If I was running this country, I'd make sure these fuckers were getting arrested for incompetence and providing false information to the public.
