I have just been asked was Brazil in the EU by a work colleague!
I don't want to live in this world anymore.
The position Rory McIlroy has been put in is really grinding my gears. No matter what the guy does he can't win.
Its completely ludicrous, he should marry Caroline wozniacki and play under the Danish flag

Or the Polish flag...

I was asked by a friend tonight if Denmark was near Greece "because they're both poor". Jesus wept (although she's English so at least not a bad reflection on our education system!)

Does anyone know what happened to Irish Torrents?
Just reading a story about a guy who is in court because he raped a hooker. Not sure why anyone feels the need to rape a hooker. If anything, pay her have sex with her and then rob the money back. Lesser charge, innit?

A guy in Australia successfully sued a call girl who left him battered and bruised after a S and M session! She was told by the judge that she should have taken more care with her client!

Do I have to go to Glasgow to do that? Seems like effort of the highest order.
This raises an important philosophical question: If somebody held a procrastination world championship, would the competitors get stuck in and start procrastinating right away, or would they leave it for a while?

Been grading assignments all evening. Nothing outstanding until I read that, according to one student, using a particular style of note taking helped him to surf a book more effectively.
Sometimes, I just have to accept that language is evolving in ways that both delight and dismay the purist/puritan in me in equal measure. :dunno:

Try a year. Odd bits and pieces in between, a month here and there, sound engineer jobs here and there, off with the band..but no solid job for over a year now.

Letterkenny is awfully miserable most times of the year, never mind mid January when it's probably the most dull place in Ireland.

I can sympathize, I've been in the same boat 10 months. Had a (nearly) full-time job in July, which got cut to part time in September, then laid off in November. Finally got another part-time job starting tomorrow, but this doesn't solve my problem.

It's a pity really. I've had plans for the past year or so to get myself and the lady a mortgage or a loan of some sort and completely renovate and do up my Grandmothers old house. It's been lying derelict since we had to move out of it in December 2011 because it was growing impossible to live in.
These sort of things just aren't possible though without a solid income, and it's a shame.
The only saving grace is that my partner is a social worker working part time, so she earns a fairly reasonable wage. But it's just not enough as it is because if something were to happen to her job, we'd be royally screwed.

The worst part for me is knowing I wasted four years of my life at college working hard (and I did sort of realize it was useless at the time), only to find out that everything I learned there is useless in real life and I'm still unqualified for pretty much every decent job -- and the ones I am qualified for are through skills I taught myself. Could've been learning a skill/trade that whole time. Maybe we should start a business...any ideas?

If you assembled 20 or so journeymen footballers in north county Dublin, paid them unsustainable wages while making little or no effort to build a fan base, and gave them a catchy name like Deportivo Lusk, you'd be rolling in cash in no time.
I found most of what I learned at Uni pretty pointless as well when I got out into the world, but I wouldn't trade the time I spent there for anything. There's more to life than working too hard so you can earn enough money to buy stuff that makes you feel less bad about working too hard!

I'm in the same boat, only for me I didn't graduate from college. Failed in my final year and couldn't afford to repeat it. But 99% of what I learned there done me no good as such, because what has helped me was what I learned off my own bat there.
As for starting a business, you supply the cash, I'll supply the business ;)

You never "waste" time learning - you spend time learning, learning! Even if it seems like nothing usable in the real world, structure and knowledge will always help.
I went to Uni grudgingly, studied but always had to spend more time training or working (the latter to keep myself alive as there were 2 siblings in school and my Dad was semi-retired). To be very blunt, I didn't want to be there but once I was I worked hard enough to get through. Then I pursued a career in sports, came back for a masters (where I met Osarusan and a couple of others) but sports were still central to what I did. I ended up competing, coaching and working different jobs, then taught (loved it) and then went into project and sports development. Now I'm managing tennis players, supervising sports projects and giving part-time lectures in marketing and media at a corporate uni.
So what qualified me for this? Feck all! I studied Archaeology, Geography and Classics (as well as Ancient Greek) for a BA and Medieval History (with Archaeology) for an MA which I tried to turn into a PhD but was frozen out because couldn't afford the fees and made a boo boo working on an archaeology site. If I can call Maria Kirilenko a "skinny bit@h" to her face - accidentally, anyone can!

I'm only a month behind you. I thought it would just be a phase I'd get over. If it was up to the girlfriend, she'd have the site destroyed.
On another note, I just realised, I'm drinking a latte while eating iced buns. I all of a sudden feel really posh.
