Storm!

[Soul]

Ok, after the few days of lovely sun here in England, I'm now stuck in a thunder storm. This confirms that we have weird weather lol :P

Don't you think storms are cool? :thumb:

- Soul :s:

[s-fx]

I've heard that englands weather sucks, like rains 250+ days a year

[Soul]

I wouldn't say its that much

- Soul :s:

[Starpromo]

but its close enough to be practically true...

[Kitiara]

Blazing heat yesterday, thunder storm today. :) It's thundering here too - absolutely lashing it out there.

I love going out in this kind of weather, thunder is great. :beam:

[Starpromo]

do you enjoy getting all wet kit ;) haha

i dont mind thunder and lighting as long as its really warm when its happening...

[asphaltcowboy]

thunder goes hand in hand with hot weather. didnt you know that?

I did a-level geography dontcha know ;)

[Kitiara]

I think there's just something about thunder storms... As long as you don't stand under a tree or electric pylon, obviously. :sure:

It generally is warm when it happens though, I think. I know I'm baking at the moment. Got all the windows open even though it's chucking it. :)

[Starpromo]

sorry for my poor geographical knowledge...

i take it you like getting wet then... hehe

[asphaltcowboy]

I do ;)

[Starpromo]

haha SICK....

not you i ment kit... haha

[asphaltcowboy]

ye, but I look ten times better than kit when wet ;)

[Kitiara]

I look like a drowned rat. :P Long hair just doesn't do the wet look well. :sure:

[Starpromo]

well truth be told assfaultcalfman (is that correct?)

i happen to dissagree... the only way to prove it is for kit to show us all a picture of here wet... haha

[Kitiara]

Ah, now that involves me getting infront of a camera, and you should all know by now that I'm very camera shy. :)

I'm willing to conceede this round to the art student. :P

[JK87]

Out of all the weather I have ever been through... rain is the best by far. I'm not too keen on thunder and lightning (have way too many trees in my garden) but the rain is the best. It's always so refreshing and what better way is there to get soaked? :).

[edit] And I think we should have a competition between who looks better wet: Kit or Asphalt :P [end of edit]

[Starpromo]

in a nice warm bubble bath with a lovely lady?

(i like my idea better)

[JK87]

Lol... that depends on what the "lovely lady" has in mind. Now, off for a run in the night rain I go. Be back later ;).

[Starpromo]

haha... i know someone from surrey... what a claim!

but just generaly in a bath with a lovely lady no matter what would be suffiecent...

[Kitiara]

You know someone from Kent also. :)

Hang on, what sort of person goes for a run at 11pm? Maybe that's a surrey thing... :P

[Starpromo]

haha i used to have relatives who lived in kent...

its a really nice place ay?

is it kent near tumbridge wells?

[Kitiara]

Garden of England, they call this place. :) It's quite nice, lots of Oast Houses and windmills and stuff not far from here.

Tunbridge Wells is <i>in</i> Kent. :) About 15 miles from my house I think.

[Starpromo]

yeah thats where rich people live isnt it... my parents owned a massive house there many years ago and ive stayed there a few times but they sold it...

yorkshire is called the hole of england i think... (hehe)

[Kitiara]

There's quite a few rich places round here... And quite a few holes as well, so it balances out. :)

[Kitiara]

You may have won the battle, but I shall win the war. :P

Eep :stunned:

[asphaltcowboy]

you'll be lucky ;)

[Kitiara]

With all those foxy art students? :P

How's your exhibition go, by the way? :)

[asphaltcowboy]

ye really good (thanks for asking) - I'd tell you more, but I'm actually about to go watch some more tv - had to video 6 Feet Under :) - So, night all!

(kit, perhaps you'll remember the existance of MSN tomorrow ;))

[Kitiara]

Yeah, memory like a sieve, me. :sure: Just not used to having it on here, that's all. :P

[asphaltcowboy]

can't trust them to remember anything tbh

[Kitiara]

Au contraire, we remember birthdays and anniversaries and stuff like that which men always forget. :)

[Kitiara]

Which reminds me that it's my dad's birthday on Tuesday, my brother's on Wednesday and Father's Day next Sunday.

Argh, I'll be going shopping tomorrow lunch break then. :sure:

Right, I'm outta here... Night night all. :)

[thoriphes]

somehow i find enjoyment in an all-brit conversation. oh no :!: i ruined it!!!

[JK87]

Oh no Thor!! You did indeed :crazy:. But seriously...

I believe that Surrey is actually viewed as/said to be the wealthiest county in England :P.

In other matters: I don't think it is actually a Surrey thing to go for a run late at night. In reality, it's a JK thing :). I am what one might call a fool...

I do a load of exercise each day, every day and have done so for the last 2 - 3 years. I can't help it really - it's just a hobby but one which provides me with a 6-pack (over time), strong arms and a pretty fast sprint :bad:. If you were wondering: Yes, my friends do indeed think I am crazy.

And if you know any lovely ladies who would like to have a bath with me Starpromo, let me know :smirk:. But I stand by my previous statement - just being in the rain is refreshing.

Yeah, I saw something about it on National Geographic once... don't remember if it was Florida, but I think...

[JK87]

You learn something new every day. That was my something new :) (although, I hope I will learn more than just that today ;)).

prstudio avoid the trees and large metal objects!

JK.

[Kitiara]

JK, you <i>are</i> crazy. :)

Although I suppose I'm hardly in a position to criticise. :P

[JK87]

You don't know the half of it :crazy:! (seriously, you don't).

As for you hardly being in a position to criticise, that's debatable. And as they say: it takes one to know one :smirk:.

[Kitiara]

Yeah... When I was back at University I used to have to walk in a couple of miles every day, then go for a few more miles run round a country park before each two hour dance class. Then there was using the Uni gym, Pilates classes, all that kind of thing.

I was absolutely bloody knackered. :P

[JK87]

You're either kidding, or you're insane. Possibly both :P.

That must've sucked big-time - even I couldn't do that much leg work every day for a few years; must've hurt a lot :-\.

[Kitiara]

And how. :sure:

Sadly I'm not kidding - the dance teacher I had was an absolute fitness freak, she made us do those runs round the park regardless. You wouldn't believe how many times I skived out of doing that and arrived just in time for the actual class bit. :P

[JK87]

Hmm... lucky. I'm such a bad liar that I wouldn't be able to skive my way out of a paper bag if somebody waited at the top and asked me what I was doing :P.

[Kitiara]

Hehe... My plan just involved turning up late - by that time they'd already started the run bit and I couldn't go. :evil:

<b>*Looks out the window*</b> Rats, it's raining again...

[Soul]

*waves* Morning :beam:

- Soul :s:

[Kitiara]

<b>*Points to pixel bloke in footer*</b> Chilly up north today? :)

[Soul]

I thought it was quite stylish! :(

- Soul :s:

[JK87]

Lol. Morning Soul :).

I have a GCSE Biology exam at 2pm today... should probably do a bit of revision before I go to it. Then again, this is far more interesting :bad:.

[Starpromo]

Nope, its not so bad in the Yorkshire plaines (sp?) today... but im expecting rain... very soon indeed.

[JK87]

Rain is no fun during the day - you can see where you're going :P. Down here in comfy Surrey we've got a gentle breeze and overcast skies but the sunlight is working its way though :).

[Kitiara]

Good luck with the exam JK. :) From what I remember of my GCSEs, Biology was the easiest one of the lot. Physics was the killer. :) Unless you've still got that one to do, in which case it was a walkover. :)

[JK87]

Heh...

I still have all my GCSEs to do except all of German, English literature and my French oral. I have 6 science exams (doing triple award), the rest of my French, 2 maths papers, 2 english language papers... etc. :). Lots of fun over the next three weeks :sigh:.

and thanks for the good luck - I'm gonna need it ;).

[Kitiara]

There's a triple award science now? Mine was only a double. :) At least Science was one of my best subjects. :)

[Starpromo]

Ive blocked all GCSE memories out of my head... i can't even remember what i got.

All i know is there was a few C's in there.

[JK87]

Yeah triple award science. Basically, you take the Core paper for each subject (along with the people doing dual award) and then you also take the Extension paper if you do triple award. The upside is that I could completely fail one science and get A*s in the others. The downside is that it's more complex.

I can't even remember what was in my German exam two weeks ago. I block out the exams as soon as I leave the room - makes the rest of my life a little less painful :thumb:. Nah, just kidding.

They say that for AS levels and A levels you should choose what you enjoy... but what if I don't enjoy any of the subjects? ;).

[Kitiara]

Whatever you do, don't choose German A Level. I made that mistake and really regretted it. I should have done English. German at A Levl is nasty. Truly nasty.

[Soul]

JK: Left ventricle! Hope that helps ;)

Star: You're skiving college! :scream:

Kit: Thanks :love:

- Soul :s:

[Starpromo]

Any foriegn language is pretty nasty to learn, bar chinease...

Just my opinion :)

[Kitiara]

No probs Soul. :love:

<b>*Remembers Biology lessons*</b> They were such a hoot - we had a teacher who got embarrassed very easily. :P

[Starpromo]

I dont go back till tommorow soul...

[Soul]

Yes you do

[JK87]

Lol Soul...

Kit, ours were/are insane. We have an Irish Biology teacher who is more than happy to be loud, embarassing, evil and funny all at once. He is probably one of the best teachers in our school but he can be so evil at times.

Soul, remember that the left ventricle is actually on the right hand side of the diagram.

Oh and yeah, I was hoping to do German AS and A level. I'm a bit of a language boff so I was planning on doing French and German originally but then I decided against it. I was already planning to do English literature but I can't do English language because my school don't teach it :(.

[Soul]

Exams suck :P

[Starpromo]

As far as i am aware we dont have to be back till tommorow.

I havent been told any different :)

[Kitiara]

I hated German A Level, it did my head in. Suppose it didn't help that I changed schools after the GCSEs and the new school had done a whole load more on German than my old one. :sure:

Our Biology teach was a woman, probably about 50-ish, called Mrs Lee... She was fine with plants, but had real trouble with anything else. :P And of course a class of 30 teenagers can come up with some really embarrassing questions when they put their minds to it... :evil:

[JK87]

Well, our teacher takes what we say and turns it against us. It shuts up any cheeky people within a few minutes :). And German would be hell for me because our school has a school within it for Dutch people who's parents work for Shell.

The result it that I have a lot of competition in German (although, they actually have the german lessons in Dutch to German rather than English to German) because Dutch and German are so similar and they have been doing it for longer ;).

[Kitiara]

Eep. :)

I just have nightmares about my German A Level... Theatre Studies was basically a skive class, but quite fun when we weren't humiliating ourselves. Computer Science was great, Dance was cool and General Studies was multiple choice. :P

[JK87]

I was doing ICT GCSE but decided to drop it because our school ICT dept. is hopeless and our teachers are crap. To top it all of, ICT GCSE isn't really to do with computers unless you view computers as things that always work and with which you can only use publisher, word and excel...

I'm not going to do ICT at my current school but if I'm lucky, I might be able to do computer science at University.

I don't think I would be the kind of guy to do dance or theatre studies though :smirk:. And I am hoping that German AS and A level will be fun rather than a mental handicap which haunts me for the rest of my life ;).


Without further adue, I must leave you to do some last minute cramming before the Biology exam. Take care, and see you in about 5 hours :).

[Kitiara]

Good luck. :) And remember that left ventricle. :P

[JK87]

Thanks. Although, I'm not sure that the left ventricle (which is on the right hand side in a diagram ;)) would do me much good without the rest of my heart :P...

[Kitiara]

Just remember it! If it comes up, then you will have Soul to thank for remembering. :)

[asphaltcowboy]

w00t! morning kiddies... oh.. wait.... wait... good afternoon kiddies!

I am here at college and already I've done everything I had to do for today! hurray! what a waste of £5.10! So I'm just gonna sit in the computer rooms and piss about for a bit no doubt. Who knows, maybe I'll do some work every so often. At least it's not raining any more!

:)

[Kitiara]

I've got work to do, but I'm putting it off as best I can. :smirk:

Email forms, new pages, blah blah blah...

[TheOrangeOne]

morning! waste of £5.10?
Theres a lot of us that post when we're at work, so in a way we get paid to go on kirupa!how sweet is that? heh heh :evil:

[Kitiara]

That's a good point... When you think about it Churchill are paying me a lot of money to lurk on these forums. :beam:

Speaking of which... As yet unconfirmed, but the eCommerce rumour mill says that there might be a vacancy for a web developer / designer soon, if I get promoted to senior... :)

[asphaltcowboy]

£5.10 is the cost of a one-day travelcard into Central London. Basically, my exhibition piece was a website, so I needed a computer to display it. But of course, being crappy, the college could only provide me with an electrical extension until today (exhibition finishes on wednesday), so I've had to bring in my own extension and my own multiplug adaptor! which means I can't use my toaster and kettle at the same time! dagnabit!

but yeah, as soon as I arrived I sorted it in about 15 mins... and now there's nothing for me to really do. how annoying

;)

"oi! Churchill! could yau save me muunny on ma car insurance and give me a web-designer's job?"

[Kitiara]

Annoying? Having nothing to do? :P

Look, if you want to take a crack at my In Tray, you're more than welcome. :)

I hate my in tray. We have to create a workplan for everything we do. and i mean EVERYTHING!

Permit to dig, permit to lift. Risk assessments etc....

We will need a plan to go to the toilet soon!

[Kitiara]

Don't tempt Management. :)

We're supposed to be a paper-less company. And I seem to have a small rainforest worth on my desk. Grrr.

[TheOrangeOne]

heh! tie yourself to your computer and make an environmental protest!

or just play tricks on people.
why not:

leave a mouse trap inside your in-box
put clingfilm worund the seat of your managers toilet
hide behind the photocopier and leap out at someone every once in a while
bring an invisible friend to work and introduce him to everyone
bring a pet parrot to work and teach it to swear
send amusing e-mails to everyone, explaining that you dont know how to use the e-mail program
work naked
move your computer to the center of the room, explaining that you farted
look at your neighbour in a knowing fasion and say "you may as well admit it, i know it was you."
.............and i cant think of anymore.

[Kitiara]

I may have issues with some of these, especially number 7... :P

[TheOrangeOne]

heh, not suprised. Ive actually done a few of these before. (not the naked one!)

good way to eliviate boredom anyway :-)

[Kitiara]

I'm just working my way through my mp3 playlist and a packet of Polos. Can't be arsed to do much else. :sure:

Done the forms and that now, so taking it easy. I have also been shopping for birthday presents, which is always stressful. :)

[TheOrangeOne]

another productive day in the office then :) i want your job! they wont let me shop :*(

[Kitiara]

That was on my lunch break, I hasten to add. :) And I have never missed a deadline or anything yet. :beam:

I love my job, I really do. :)

im getting bored of mine. Not got much happening at the moment, so im bored. BORED I SAY!

[Kitiara]

Nope, not for me. Any new stuff, straight in the bin. :P I don't do 'paperwork'. :)

[Black_Lightning]

me neither, paper just sits there and collects dust (this way my desk stays clean underneath (-: )

[Kitiara]

I've got a nice pile of brand new CD-R's and CD-RW's that they bought me on here, and a load of folders. Couple of books on Java and ColdFusion, folders of work and a try thing in one corner that I try to avoid as it contains all the new stuff. :)

[JK87]

Hahhhahahahhahahaha...

*sigh*

I managed to turn up 30 minutes late to my Core Biology GCSE exam.

Did the school phone home when I wasn't there? Nooo...
Did they check to see if any of my friends had my mobile number? Nooo...

- You get the picture :).

Fortunately, I was able to have my full 1 hour and 30 minutes which meant that I just took the exam under a little pressure (due to turning up late, wondering where everyone is, looking in the examination room and seeing everybody sitting down at their desks writing away...).

It's amazing how badly that can screw with your head ;). However, I think I did rather well in the exam lol :bad:.

Apparently, if you're an hour or more late, you cannot take that exam... aren't I lucky it was only 30 minutes late? :).


JK.

[Kitiara]

That was lucky... Did you get the time wrong?

[JK87]

Well yeah, sort of. We had a week of study leave (last week) and before that we had a few exams. My only afternoon exam started at 2pm... so I assumed that all afternoon exams started at 2pm. Apparently, that's not the case. They are supposed to start at 1pm but for some reason the Biology exam started at 1:20pm (which was good for me because it meant I was only 30 minutes late rather than 50 minutes late...).

[Kitiara]

Yikes. :) At least you've done it now though. Hope it went well. :)

[JK87]

Surprisingly enough, I think it did go quite well lol. Thanks :).

[asphaltcowboy]

lol and lol ;)

[JK87]

The strangest thing is that I wasn't that freaked out by it... I mean I was pretty wired from working myself up for it over the past 24 hours but other than that... nothing.
