I might buy a Jack Sparrow costume and wear it everywhere.

I got free stuff on holiday because I dressed up like a pirate :)

Tried it at university and nobody even bloody noticed.

... I had a parrot and a cutlas and everything...

Nasty storms ripped though are area last night. Luckily no touchdowns for the torndoes in our immmediate area, though Joplin, Missouri was absolutely decimated. 89 deaths. Scary stuff. Went into the basement with the family. My little ones had no clue and saw all of their toys we were storing. It was happy time for them at least.

Just watched the "roll a d6" video. That was great. It got me nostalgic for the old days of first playing D&D back in the mid-late 70's (yep I'm an old greybeard). I dug out my old men & magic, just to look at the old rules & noticed that the preferred ratio between players & referee was 20 to 1 ! Can you imagine a DM handling 20 players nowadays?

How many of them female?

haha, wish I could play The Witcher too. Alas I didn't downloaded it. :) So what's the topic of the day? ******** talk? :) Kidding. Oh, this job hunting..... Soon I'll have to do it myself. At my work place people are sent home without payment, so I might be next...

Yay! I'm as of today officially a Bachelor of Social Sciences. Of course I'm also half-way through my masters but it's good to have that one out of the way. :p

It has been 5 days. Shame.

The Duke will be with us within 5 days, 9 hours and some minutes. And someone is going to pay for making him find those **** keycards.

Meanwhile, pc overhaul month.

My desktop is working again! No more being forced to post from my crummy little iPhone! Prepare for a deluge of posts.

Congrats, Morgoroth. Good luck on the Masters.

I have gotten a hand lent to work for me today and she is overtasked with the sort of work she has to do. Unable to use RegEx on our data she has do her corrections manually. She is proceeding sloooowly. The horror.

Naturally I have a deadline. Today evening. Which means I will have to finish (not to mention correcting the inevitable typos and errors in the XML markup that come with manual corrections) after she leaves, which in turn means I won't go home before 19:00 :nolike: and which also means I'll be late for my sister's birthday.

And Morg, indeed, good luck with the masters.

And tomorrow with little sleep the cycle repeats itself?

I have to have minor surgery today on an ingrown toenail. Not looking forward to it :(

Merlanni,
no, this morning she came along and asked me whether she should continue where stopped yesterday, and I told her that I'd rather that she continued stopping. She seemed miffed.

Of course she was since Germany is the the least funny country in the world ;) :lol:

And we live next to them.

Friday afternoon off.

Pick the pre-order copy up at Gamemania.

I have only 4,5 working day in June left.

I wasted like 2 hours trying to get bloody Witcher to start on my secondary display... to no avail. Everything that should have worked via Nvidia's nView, didn't. The game kept starting on the primary display no matter what.

And then I remembered UltraMon and the fact that it could be interfering with nView... I don't recall if I had it set up like that before, but switching primary monitors via UltraMon takes about a second... and then the game runs on the other monitor. :doh:

Canada made that list, which I think is rather odd, as no one appreciates a good joke like a Canadian! We've produced lots of funny people. For example:

Jim Carrey, Dan Ackroyd, John Candy, Rick Moranis, Dave Thomas, Eugene Levy, Michael J. Fox, Brent Butt, Kim Cattrall, Michael Cera, Sarah Chalke, Dave Foley, Brendan Fraser, Phil Hartmann, Eric McCormack, Mike Myers, Leslie Nielsen, Saul Rubinek, Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogan, and Nia Vardalos, just to name a few.

Many of those people were born here, many lived here for a long time, but they all have been somewhat successful in the comedy field. I picked the ones from this list people were likely to know.

Canada shouldn't be on the list. I'd like to see the countries they thought were the most funny!

EDIT: bear in mind I don't exactly like all the people on this list. For example, were Michael Cera, Seth Rogan, or Kim Cattrall to be run over by bulldozers tonight, I don't think it would be much of a loss to the world. But the fact remains that based on the numbers, both of them have been fairly successful in the humor realm.

BTA,
speak for your self, you miserable creature, after all you live in America, a country so unhappy, that the North Korean Happiness Index doesn’t even have a number for how unhappy everyone in America is. Yes, it's that bad. Read it and weep some more.

It helps to keep people happy when all the unhappy people are, well, executed or locked up. Happy, happy, happy! :)

Hehe! We may be unhappy, but we sure are funny! :lol:

Just seen the flat I want to move into next month. It's a one bedroom with actual ROOMS instead of this crappy studio flat. Also the opposite end of town so the roads are much quieter, the pavements are nicer and it's away from all the clubs but really close to the city centre and university.

It's more expensive though and the water rates are a joke but that's the only downside for something that's otherwise awesome.

Problem at the moment? I need my mother to be my guarantor and she isn't answering her mobile, the home phone, text messages or any emails and I need her to phone me before six a clock :doh:

Can't you get someone else to do it?

Like who? She's the only relative I have able to.

Also any large sums of money I have to pay out have to go through her now thanks to the diclofenac episodes and the government agreements to backpay my benefits :spin:

My weight has been a roller-coaster lately. 3 months ago, my poundage hit the 190s. Last month I started at 173... good job, right? Well, I'm back to the 190s already. Though I have started running every morning, with the wife. She cruises a nice 4 miles in 35 minutes. It takes me 42. Ifeel like a real puss....

Wow. I just de-dusted my case and my computer is inaudible again :o
