That is false as I am present.

I'm a Nuclear Medicine Tech, a branch of radiology where I inject people full of radiation instead of firing it through them. Sadly, no one has developed super powers on my watch as yet.

Whenever I've had a colonoscopy instead of an enema they have given me harsh laxatives to clean everything out. I think I'd prefer the enema to be honest because each time I've had the Picolax I find the day before I spend so much time shitting my arsehole is burning, and that's before anything has been inserted. On the day of the test though I've been heavily sedated and I can't remember anything about what was done and I must say I'm glad. It's not the fact that I've had a camera shoved up my arse that concerns me, but before they start there at least four people standing around, and they're all going to see my red raw arsehole from the laxatives and probably my balls too.

Not my desktop proper because I have like one icon (recycle bin) only, but this is the picture I am using at the moment. The cover to the upcoming Uncanny X-Men #492

I hope Hampshire shit it in.

You been to Eastbourne yet?? Now that's a shit-hole.... I haven't been further east than Brighton to be honest, but I have quite a few friends that live in Hove and Worthing. They're not too bad, even if Worthing is a bit of a retirement community. Is it just a north vs south rivalry going on here? Because I quite like the south, and I miss the south coast terribly. Although it may have to do with the fact that the bulk of my friends live on the coast, but other than the football, there's not much to the north that makes me feel as though I'm missing out by living in the south.

To be fair Martin has only taken me to a gay pub once so I don't understand all this gay talk. There was even a woman present. Sure, I might have been felt up by a barman but that's as far as it went. But yeah, I'm up for a London piss up at any time, be it match day or otherwise. And Luke, I spent three hours in Plymouth once and that was plenty for me.

Hey guys, Just so you know I'm about 90% certain that I'm going to be moving to the Portsmouth area in the next month or so. If you still fancy a non-match day type meet up like we (briefly) talked about before let me know. I'm still close enough to London to travel up on a match day if you'd prefer to watch a match. Let me know.

I've actually used spareroom.co.uk three times to find somewhere to live. I've never really had a problem with flatmates once I've moved in and living with randoms has been a lot of fun. BUT each time I have moved it has taken me a long time to find somewhere suitable. I last moved just after Christmas after my last landlord sold up the flat and kicked all the tenant out. I looked at 11 different places before finding where I'm living now. I've found the trick is to answer as many ads as possible, firstly because so many won't even acknowledge an enquiry. And I've found that a lot of the ads aren't entirely honest in their descriptions. As for the question about living with randoms, I've checked out a lot of flats that have been brilliant however I wasn't too keen on the people living there. Not to say that I'd live in a dump if I thought the people there were cool but that's why it's taken so long to find something. So yeah, my advice is to check out as many places as you can before making a decision.

It's a bit early in the year for this surely. Father's Day isn't until September.

What's with this 'scanning at light speed' business people are complaining about? The checkout chicks at Tesco Harrow are the slowest on the planet. They look at what you've got on the belt with complete disdain and then sigh as though picking up each item is just far too much effort and scan at about a rate of four items per minute. I had one girl go off all ghetto at me one day when I made the comment that when I worked in a supermarket if my scan rate dropped below 25 items per minute I'd be officially warned, three warnings meaning dismissal. I got to hear all about how tired she was because her crotch-spawn hell-kids' father never lifts a finger and blah blah blah.

I worked 9pm-7am on Saturday and Sunday night from 1999-2002 while I was in between degrees and then while studying because I had no time to work during the week. I didn't mind it too much, it was just supermarket work supervising the night-fill so it was menial labour, but with the penalty rates for working weekends and the night shift it worked out to 34 hours pay for the 20 I did. It got me through university.

And the cool thing is you know she's the kind of chick that you could have a one night stand with and not have her ringing you for weeks and weeks afterwards moaning about how you used her. Hell, she'd probably get off on it.

I'll admit to it, although protection would be a must.

Ginger Spice is my auntie.

http://cbs5.com/topstories/local_story_159222541.html I'd drop this on the Summer Piss-up just to see what'd happen. In the name of science of course.

You bastard. How the hell are you able to eat that? That'd almost put me in hospital. I've already planned my menu for today because I went to Tesco yesterday and there's no way I want to experience that torture twice in a weekend. Muesli for breakfast, a salad with tuna for lunch (hold the mayo of course) and some roasted vegetables and Quorn fillets for dinner (it's Sunday, gotta have a roast).

Rob, I think we're destined to be soulmates, because all that can be said in reply to that is 'Amen my brother'. Everyone everywhere is over-worked (unless you're Scott or Alex) and under-paid, it's just that nurses never shut the fuck about about it. Enough already.

1. I've noticed this thread seems to have the same people posting the same shit over and over in it. 2. Actually, that sounds like this board in general. 3. Anyone else finding this place stale and boring as hell? 4. 5. I really don't want to add to the tedium.

that's weird, I've not heard of anyone else having that amount of bother with an iPod... which one was it? It's a 60 Gig photo iPod, the last model of them before the video ones hit. I've had two of the fuckers in three years and had no end of trouble. They usually make it until the year mark and then it's all down hill. I think I have an iPod curse or something. Bastards.

Whoa. I think I'm going to have to get my flatmate to check out this site. Kate Nash is a Harrow local apparently and a good friend of the girl I live with. I'd love to see the outburst once she reads this.

Well I bought my iPod in September 2005 and it was my second iPod. The first one was irrepairable, not due to my negligence, it was just fucked. Well, this new one first gave me trouble in August 2006 and has been sent in for repair three times. Most recently it was sent back in early March and seemed to be fine until today. Again, I'm not negligent or careless with the things, if anything I treat them too well and I'm constantly getting shit from my workmates for how well I treat it. Today it shit itself again, and I'm getting the little sad face icon on the screen again. It won't even register when I plug it into the computer so I can't even try a factory reset. Fuck Apple, and fuck iPods. I'm not shelling out another couple of hundred pounds for a new one and I'm getting sick of mailing this thing in. For that much money they shouldn't be disposable.

I'll remember him for the Woodgate sale and the fact that I'm still waiting for my pleasant surprise. What the fuck did he have in mind when he made that statement?
