Well now, this could be dangerous

Tuesday, October 26th, 2004

After much hocus-pocus, a group of Bristol students (already told them to go get a job…) have managed to switch Halloween to Saturday, or at least, their Halloween party. Seems only fitting I should make an appearance, never one to miss an opportunity to poke fun at those less well-off than myself. Plus, if they do that Jedi-wave thing with a student card, the cost of alcohol greatly reduces in price – so I figure I may as well tag along.
If I’m allowed near a computer (already been told to promise not to attempt any shenanigans with the university network – boring, eh?) then I might make a last-ditch plea for rescue when the alcohol level reaches such a state the blood cells are being used to pump beer around the body as opposed to oxygen. Now there’s something to aim for.

Of course, with the delightful British weather looking likely to bring torrential rain and 70mph gales to the south west of England, I may be better off attempting to build an ark to sail back home in…

What a guy!

Now this, I like:

I like his style. I like his attitude. I like, most of all, his honesty. We need more hard-working decent guys like these – and less of the family he talks so eloquently about. You hear that RM – honesty.

Some people backed the wrong horse

In the end, 27 out of 110 machines scheduled for rebuild just sat there dumbfounded after formatting themselves as they seemed to forget what they were doing, another 60 claimed to have finished but decided not to install any software and the another 60 I left alone for a laugh and yet they still managed to break themselves to the extent that Sims doesn’t work.
I don’t care – my machine and profile wasn’t touched last night so I can work fine…

Nervous anticipation

Tuesday, October 12th, 2004

Am getting more than a little bit concerned about the number of people discussing whether or not the computers will be back up and running come 8.30a.m tomorrow morning. Admitedly, all I’m planning is rebuilding the entire network at 12.30p.m in under 15 hours, which is always good for a laugh, but I would have thought people would have at least some faith. Having said that, I’m taking bets on Sims coming back on-line in the morning and it’s about 9-2 at the moment, and that’s with a very optimistic twist on things…

Boredom strikes

First, a funny. Go on, you want to laugh:
Bugger King

And I’m sure I’ve been reading [url=http://www.bash.org]bash.org[/url] too much recently, but as I flipped between that and my e-mail, this quote was quite appropriate:

Paradox: So, guys, I have some news.
Paradox: I know I usually don’t talk much about stuff unless it’s solid, but this is interesting, and I think you should know.
Paradox: I just got an E-mail about an interesting proposition.
* volsung_ perks up.
Paradox: Apparently, there are lesbians that want my ‘hard ****.’
* volsung_ flips Paradox the bird.
volsung_: :)
Paradox: They want it ‘now,’ apparently, so the timetable is somewhat limited.
volsung_: Are you going to just take their offer as presented, or is there an opportunity for negotiation?
Paradox: I’m not sure.
volsung_: I’m sure your hard **** is in great demand. An exclusive deal might not be in your best interest.
Paradox: Last time I got an offer like this, there were some catches.

Light amusement

Doesn’t take much to amuse me, but www.chavscum.co.uk has been receiving more press as late and is always good for a laugh, especially their ‘Chav of the Month’. If you want to make yourself feel better when things are down, just spend a few minutes browsing the images section!
