that's fantastic gaz!!

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:03 (eighteen years ago) link

that's pretty seriously impressive gaz!

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:03 (eighteen years ago) link

some casuals are doing 19 hrs (i got 6). thats, ah, thats a living wage!

Is that likely to increase though? I guess if you're good enough you'll be offered more, yeah?

i kind of thought fuck it i want to do this i can do this and after about 5 mins i was...ok. relaxed. joking. relating to people.

Wow, you must feel so incredibly fantastic right now. That really is brilliant [too much for words in fact, hence the apparently trite sentiment here yuck].

its like a 30 year old black cloud just lifted. i feel like crying.

Man that's fucking awesome, really. We'll have a drink to you tonight.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:05 (eighteen years ago) link

i hope that cloud-lifting thing happens to me one day. i just swapped out of a unit at uni because i found out a large part of the assessment is giving a presentation and i don't think i can do it.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:05 (eighteen years ago) link

i can only present things if i know what i'm talking about 100%. otherwise i seize up entirely.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:06 (eighteen years ago) link

[mine broke out last night]

Right! Out of me brane, now, you! ;P

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:09 (eighteen years ago) link

haha that 100% thing would certainly severely limit the stuff i could present on. dunno if i'd be likely to secure a decent mark for 'how to find obscure songs/books/ex-boyfriends on the internet'.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:09 (eighteen years ago) link

i think the no room available shit helped. and the rush. and not being able to prepare or know what i was doing and build up panic. it was like i was suddenly just there = DO IT NOW.

gem if its really bad (mine's fucking crippling...its not coming back now...is it?) i think you need to do something. don't be me in 15 years and have to think "sink or swim"

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:10 (eighteen years ago) link

And gaz yeah that is fantastic that you've gotten that confidence :)

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:10 (eighteen years ago) link

'how to find obscure songs/books/ex-boyfriends on the internet'.

this sounds like a winner of a course you could teach at community college!

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:12 (eighteen years ago) link

i have tried a bit gaz. i did some professional development courses, tutored a bit and also made myself compete in the mooting comps at uni a few times. hated every last milli-second of all of those. but yeah i should probably do something else about it, you're right. maybe on the summer holidays. toastmasters! hehe.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Once in my previous degree I actually passed out standing up whilst giving a presentation. That's how freaking nervous I was.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:35 (eighteen years ago) link

Gem, Toastmasters is brilliant. My father-in-law did it, and now he can stand up and speak to any amount of people, at any occasion, with no notice.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:36 (eighteen years ago) link

this dubstar song reminds me of black books, the way she says "don't you just love my aaaahrse"

HURT MY PENIS WALKING DOWN THE STREET
I SEE RED I SEE RED I SEE RED

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:40 (eighteen years ago) link

xpost sorry Jim, that was unrelated

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:40 (eighteen years ago) link

did you step on it again?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:41 (eighteen years ago) link

obv

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 01:53 (eighteen years ago) link

I think I'm a pretty good public speaker. I think this is mainly because I'm good at making up plausible sounding bullshit on the spot.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Friday, 22 July 2005 02:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Haha me too!

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 22 July 2005 02:40 (eighteen years ago) link

hello mongs. been looking at accommodation for most of this week. paddington and bondi mostly. christ, my brothers girlfriend is being a right pain in the arse. it's not like i need an incentive to move anyway but i'd wish she'd lay off a bit. i've no plans for the weekend as yet cept going playing poker tonite at a friends house

― Michael B, Friday, 22 July 2005 02:41 (eighteen years ago) link

sounds like a bitch.

― In the springtime of the year / Kate (papa november), Friday, 22 July 2005 03:19 (eighteen years ago) link

i wonder if we could get john d along to the las vegas night? or some gentlemans club perhaps?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 03:28 (eighteen years ago) link

Didn't "Ahoy-hoy" used to be the commonly accepted way of answering the telephone, etiquette-wise?

Never actually was accepted, but it's what AGB proposed as what should become the commonly accepted way, as per my reference!

― kit brash (kit brash), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:07 (eighteen years ago) link

forgive me i have an image of michael b ensconsed on the brothers lounge raising his arms and whooping everytime the girlfriend enters the room.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:34 (eighteen years ago) link

haha

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:34 (eighteen years ago) link

did kenan become a complete wanker overnight recently or has he always been this bad?

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:34 (eighteen years ago) link

haven't we had the kenan conversation? whats he done now?

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:40 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah good point. i just felt it better to get it off my chest here rather than say it to him directly because i am a pussy

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:41 (eighteen years ago) link

thats what this thread is for after all.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:43 (eighteen years ago) link

mainly.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:43 (eighteen years ago) link

i dunno he seems worse lately. i saw a post somewhere this morning making a wildly sweeping generalisation about women smacking their kids on buses that made me more irritated than i usually do when reading his posts. i think this is because of that record player thread on ilm - i couldn't work out if that was a joke or not. i'm trying to give him the benefit of the doubt though.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:48 (eighteen years ago) link

he just admitted it. i like him fine mainly actually. for someone who posts pictures of himself too often.

― mullygrubbr (bulbs), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:49 (eighteen years ago) link

it's always kinda weird when a formerly fairly nondescript poster seems to ramp up his creepiness/offensiveness level. i never even noticed aar0nhz until he lost the plot.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Is it that they behave themselves up to a certain point, then the real person comes through? Like on Big Brother?

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:51 (eighteen years ago) link

i dunno. jim is right though. i never noticed orbit before a couple of weeks ago either.

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:52 (eighteen years ago) link

haha probably! xpost

orbit is another kettle of fish entirely. there's an air of desperation mixed with smugness about her posts. she seems like someone i'd have a lot in common with but i just cannot stand her online persona.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah a few people have come out with startling mouthfuls of bile lately, like Chaki, whats with that? And Dan going totally off at Kate. I can't help but find it all funny now, to be honest :/

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:54 (eighteen years ago) link

the chaki/orbit thing seems weird, i find it hard to believe either of their sides of the story. i thought dan was perfectly justified in his reaction.

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Dan went off at me once, surprised the shit out of me it did. Turns out he thought I was being racist [I wasn't] because he's "black" [I didn't know this].

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:56 (eighteen years ago) link

man i'm quite the armchair pundit today. blah blah blah blah

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:56 (eighteen years ago) link

xpost yeah i find it funny too trayce. then i feel a bit guilty for laughing at it as it must seem real to the actual posters involved. but i just keep visualising them as little kids battling over a broken teenage ninja turtle doll in the kindy sandpit.

see now i don't even know really what you're talking about - is this still related to the IM chat posted on ilm a few weeks ago? it all moves too fast for me to keep up with

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:56 (eighteen years ago) link

i think it could be. the problem is that both orbit and masonic kate refuse to ignore the people who get at them. i can't help but feel all this stuff would have blown over ages ago if they'd not risen to it. easier said than done i know

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 04:59 (eighteen years ago) link

yep easier said than done of course, you're right. i'm sure they are both fiery, passionate people which are often hugely positive traits in 'real life' but sometimes the extremes of that can be a bit scary on an internet forum

― gem (trisk), Friday, 22 July 2005 05:01 (eighteen years ago) link

i thought dan was perfectly justified in his reaction.

Me too, Jim. And I was thusly quite taken aback at Kates respondant vitriol. Ah well. 'slike watching some fun TV drama innit.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 22 July 2005 05:06 (eighteen years ago) link

in some small way it's like watching family members or friends fight. it sets the teeth on edge

― shine headlights on me (electricsound), Friday, 22 July 2005 05:07 (eighteen years ago) link

I don't read many other threads anymore, and this is why. I'm not scared of vitriol, I just can't keep up with it all.

― Hotman Paris Almanac (Autumn Almanac), Friday, 22 July 2005 05:10 (eighteen years ago) link

And on that note, ya bunch of wossnames, I'm off. I'll see some of yers in a couple hours.

― Trayce (trayce), Friday, 22 July 2005 05:10 (eighteen years ago) link

Thanks for yer good birthday wishes mongrels! Trayce, don't you dare pike, I have a great fish picture lined up and ready to go.

― moley (moley), Friday, 22 July 2005 05:28 (eighteen years ago) link

where's the dan/kate clash? I am tickled with prurient curiosity.

also I'm going to the kebab shop for a falafel, anybody want anything?
