I have 5 projects for my university course due in within the next two weeks. One is due in on tuesday. All the projects are close to completion and I've spent about 50 hours working on them in total. What happens? Computer is fucked, wont even turn on. No back ups or anything. Now Im praying that i can recover my hard drive. Then i couldnt get an email to send from another comp asking for an extention on the deadline for tuesday's project. Finially my girlfriend who was going to cook me dinner because I've been studying for an exam on monday got sick.......so now Im fuckin starving too!!! Stay AWAY from ladders and mirrors people!

Well I think my being slightly interrupted while watching the telly etc is a very small price to pay when you think of all the good that might come of it. I do get really pissed at some of the people on the street though. One of them actually shouted "Shame on you" in a joking but still offensive manner at me!

Wow, that would be such a hard job to carry out. Kudos to him for doing it.

well, good on them, hope they keep it up. If it were me, id follow those protesters around with a sign saying who they were and what they had done, see how people on the streets react to them......bunch of wankers

Those bikers sound like a great bunch of lads (and girls). I think people who protest at funerals deserve a swift kick in the nuts. Just wondering though, it says they use legal and peaceful means to stop protesters. How does that work??

Well, I'm an Irish person livng in the UK. In fact, I'm in the military so the amount of verbal abuse I receive is second to none. Mostly its well meant and just a bit of banter but if someone dared burn the tricolour in front of me that person would lose a few teeth, but I would never burn the flag of any country. Something about it seems more deeply offensive than just giving me a slagging.

Oh man I had some good times over the summer with the SA80. Out in the Mull of Kintyre with a load of unused ammo at the end of the exercise. About a hundred of us lined up and let loose into the scottish countryside on automatic. Unfortunately most of us were pilots so they wouldnt trust us with live ammo.....just aeroplanes

I like to call them fun thieves

"Ian, we decided we would be comfortable taking our tops off in front of you" 3 girls in my year at school, i walked into the room and that was the first thing they said to me. You should have seen my eyes light up

That video cracks me up

I was diggin through my old photos and came across this lot from about 2 years ago. The first 2 are from stingray city in the Cayman Islands. I used to work out there. My mate Billy and I took a really dodgy little boat out there at about 5.30 in the morning. We didn't realise how hungry these fellas would be and ended up getting absolutely swamped by them. The other 2 are from my brothers cage dive in South Africa. He was 15 when he did that dive. Looks like a good laugh. (Unfortunately I had to crop most of the photos off due to the size of the files) Anyway, I know there are a good few divers on here so I thought I'd share. Ian.

Ah, we're not so different

Like what unformed said, I think some of it has to do with getting as much booze down you as possible before the pub closes. Most spanish people probably form their opinion of the english based on the people they see going on package holidays to their country. In spain you can stay out all night and drink for a fraction of the cost that you can here in england. So if you take someone who drinks a lot in a short time, give them a whole night and cheap drink what do you get?? The stereotypical englishman!! But I'm Irish and we're much more refined!!

Doesn't seem so bad. What's the harm in offering incentives to join the military? The RAF reserve gives me some of the best flight training in the world and pays me for it!! That helps out a lot with my university expenses. The leadership training is second to none and that in its self would more than likely boost ones employment prospects. Seeing as I want to be a pilot when I finish uni anyway, I'm getting a pretty good deal. As long as people realize what the consequences of signing up might be then it shouldn't be a problem to advertise the benefits. Plus the booze is really cheap.

I don't see what could be offensive about it. Maybe if he was driving his truck through downtown Falluja it would be different. I could do the same around dublin with my tri-colour and i doubt it would bother anyone. Try that going down the shankill road and I suspect id lose a few teeth(or kneecaps). Surely people who are in america for whaterver reason are not likely to be offended by the national symbol of the coultry?? Maybe Im missing something Im in the middle of exams and my brain is fried

Ever since working a job in sales I realize that the 'customer is always right' is a load of bollox. At the place I worked in the Cayman Islands we could always tell who the Wal-Mart shoppers were. The ones that left crap all over the place, dropped clothing on the floor and walked away etc.....

Joined the RAF reserve several months ago. I plan to join full time after uni. Military life is awesome. The money might not seem great, but thats not why you join.

Just speaking from experience: When I first got a bike I would have loved to go cruising around with no helmet. Fortunately I didn't have that option. I crashed, the helmet saved me from some nasty injuries. Looking back I'm glad the law is there (in Ireland). I was 18 at the time so looking cool was higher on the agenda than crash survivability

America is an awesome place to visit. Wouldn't like to live there for a long time though.

A mate of mine snuck a bottle of it into a club one night and drank most of it. Soon after we found him pretty much terrorizing a group of women. He then got sick into an empty pint glass. Then, unable to remember what had just happened, attempted to drink the contents of the glass

Hmm, you could always let my mum loose with one. She had a barrell of laughs when she tried her new pepper spray on me.......

That dude is so cool. Haven't heard a lot of his music but saw a series on VH1 called Surviving Nugent. That had to be one of the best reality shows ever.

Amen!!! Pisses me off when people voluntarily sign up for service and then refuse to hold up their end of the bargain.
