FIg rolls are the shit, took my mind away from the damn boring routine of:
- bus to work (1 hour)
- work
- bus home (1-2 hours)
- dealing with shit at home
- staying up too late for no reason making me feel tired the next day
- bus to work (1 hour)
-....
That has destroyed my spirit over the past few months. Their are more intricate details to each of thoes steps that are boring or annoying but thats my day as is stands now. I need a holiday.
Life in general is boring. We work most of the year just for a two week vacation and we hope something exciting happens.
I am a hacker of a Nu-Aira
Aye were all slaves to the our wage or pay cheque. But I'm too tired to go on a mad rant about socialism so I won't bother. Need to dedicate some of my time to figuring out how to beat the system. Ah this honest living shit is balls sometimes :[
Hey Afro-Ninja or Mr Potato can you make a special rule that stops people from using the crying smily when making threads? Please........ I can't stand it as much as I can't stand fake smiling!

I wouldn't go that far either. I wouldn't trust buying any expensive electrical items via eBay; but I bought direct from Apple and companies are obviously aware that from time to time things might turn up damaged and have procedures in place for when that happens. They offered me a refund straight away if I wanted one or to see if it could be fixed under warranty. So I'm not losing any money, I just won't have my laptop for another week or so.
It's definitely not put me off buying online any more.

See I am kind of the opposite to you at the moment, I have a couple of shows lined up that I am designing but apart from that I have nothing on. I'd like more work. It's not even about the money really. But I like working, I like the job I do and the people that I meet doing it.
I guess there's a line between how much work you should do, and time you should spend on yourself. It takes time to get there, but if you're in a job you love doing, and you get to be the best at it then you won't be a slave to anything for long.

Aye their is a line, but even if I was doing something I liked to do. If I had to do it over and over again and their was no creativity then it would probaly suck the life out of it. But doing what I'm doing now even though its getting tough, it sure as hell beats doing an even more dull routine in a garage. And getting covered in muck constantly.

Yeah that's true. I love my job in that respect, I am paid to be creative... and the more creative I am the better. It can be dull from time to time there is a lot of waiting around and some jobs are just so boring - but actually designing and running shows, being on the desk, man, nothing beats the atmosphere. I love it.
Also how fitting to the conversation... it's good and bad news I guess. I am busy on jobs for 6 weeks solid starting in about 2 weeks time. Ohh dear?
Plus one of my mates got to light a La Senza runway shoot. Lucky guy.

It depends, a lot of them are invite only or internal events for people just in the company (like all the store managers etc) so they can have a look at all the new products that they're going to be stocking over the next year.
There's things like Clothes Show Live that anyone can get tickets for, but more prestigious runways you'd have to either be invited, have lots of money, be a photographer, or have important friends in the fashion world.

Ah right, didn't think that they used them that way with the store managers etc, but it makes sense. Wonder if Ann Summers dose something similar to demonstrate her products :) But that's cool, you can be my important insider in the fashion world if I ever get the urge to pervy up some models.

Need to do something similar soon, my laptop keeps overheating :(
On a completely random tangent here, I have a frame from a Datsun 240Z. Nice, rusted, et al. Does anyone know if a machine shop can build an AutoCAD file using the frame as a template, so a brand new one can be made?

Maybe it's because it ends in a. In Spanish (and other languages too?), feminine words end in a

Well, if you think you are childish, look at the results. Looks like the males dominate the internet. Males and lesbians. But 5 million still seems like quite a lot

Good! A question for yourselves though, if we see an AS or Flash question posted in this forum, after redirecting them to the right place, can we rip the shit out of them or take the piss? Honest question I want an official ruling etc etc....

Lesbians don't google for vagina ;) They have their own little corner of porn to enjoy, It would mainly be men googling for lesbian porn anyway. But who's to say it isn't men looking to buy porn for their women? Women enjoy porn just a much as we do. It gives you ideas to try as well!

Ah yes, very true. And apparently, due to anonymous statistics, women are more promiscuous than men, but men try to flaunt it more and women try to conceal it.
In other topics, my neighbor down the street is the producer of Jackass and owns a Maserati, a Ferrari, a Lamborghini, a Mustang, and a Ford G-something, the new one. They are all black. Unfortunately for the rest of the neighborhood, he LOVES to show off his cars by revving them up and down the neighborhood.... hahaha.

It's certainly better than a chav on a hairdryer whirring down your street.

Wow, that's hilarious. I guess you're right. But I've always had this urge to ask him if I could just wash his cars. I would probably wash the chav's hairdryer as well, with only the exception that he be on it while I wash it.

I nearly killed a dick near where I live, who was on one of those.
Serves him fucking right.

Anyway, are you looking to make this game in flash and submit it into the portal? If so you want the Flash Forum, not the programming forum. If your looking to make this game in a programming language (such as Java, C++, etc), make a new topic in the programming forum rather than cluttering up the regs lounge.
Whichever forum you repost in, be sure to include details. Payment, samples of your work, timeframes, etc, etc, etc.
