You could try looking up those text answer services like AQA ect. I'm pretty sure they pay about 8 an hour for you to sit typing things into google. You can work from home/in your own time ect.

That sounds amazing.

That and the use of "savage" - it's not a cool word, it just makes you sound like a retarded stoner...

I'm savagely guilty of this one.

You could try the AECC- you book when you want to work and the pay is apparently very reasonable. Here's a link:

Seasonal Jobs Aberdeen Exhibition and Conference Centre (AECC)

Although the only 2 options there are kitchen and waitron, there's always bar work available at gigs- I know a good few people who've worked there on and off for years and it sounds bearable.

I've never figured out how it works

13.50 on Steam, for those wise enough to own a PC.

Was that a one day deal or something? Coming up at 26.99 on my Steam account.

Chuffed about the free update on 360!

Episode 5 is incredible- could quite possibly end up being my favourite of the TV series. Here's one of the songs:

YouTube - Flight of the Conchords - Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor (Lyrics)

I once stole packet of chewing gum. Rebel, yeah!

I used to work in a few shops when I was at school and you saw some amazing stuff. My favourite was during a stint an Internacionale. Some mink came in and stole a pair of pants by taking them into the changing room and then leaving the pants she had on previously on the return to rack rail. The pants she left were covered in blood stains. Nae nice. You got some amazing minkers in there.

You just ruined my lunch.

Out of interest what is the return policy (if there is one) for R&B? I bought a tuner a couple days ago but I'm not 100% impressed with it. Are refunds given, or is it just store credit?

It's gutting that PC users will no doubt get this for free while Xbox owners will end up coughing up 800 or so Microsoft points.

I've got a bedroom full of (road) signs, posters and notices from long walks home after 3pm.

Those light afternoon strolls are a perfect opportunity to steal road signs...

24.99 at play.com on the 360:

Play.com (UK) : Left 4 Dead : Xbox 360 - Free Delivery

Grab it before the vultures on hotukdeals clean them out.

I can't give you rep for this because it seems I gave you when you posted that link to Fifa 09 being 20 quid. You, fine sir, are saving me lots of money on the old computer games!

I'm amazed Bloc Party are even playing, didn't think they'd be able to face the music hall crowd again after the savage brutality that was inflicted on Kele last time. Or am I thinking of something else and they just walked off after a coin landed beside him and he claimed his concentration was broken?

Judging by the lack of a Glasgow date (from what I can see anyway) it seemed to me that that they may have gotten mixed up as to which city it was...

If you don't mind me asking, why are you so keen to work in one of those two places?

Where can one watch season 2? Or is it restricted to people who have Sky?

I'm fairly certain I'm not able to post a link to where I watched it, but you can find them on certain video streaming sites. The 2nd episode was far more enjoyable in my opinion to the 1st- I just want to watch it again and again.

Oh, and you're 100% right about the radio show- I keep telling people who love the TV show to check it out but they never bother.

I can't stand Lee Evans. Worst still is that he'll be in the next Doctor Who special. He's just not funny.

That's not the kind of innocent typing error I can just leave uncorrected.

do you smoke?

Nope. I do go through a lot of ketchup though...

Diesel on here is selling a Yamaha Pacifica for a really good price which would be perfect if you're just starting out. I started off with one and for the price they really are quite good (mine was a bit dodge, but I just got unlucky). It all depends on what sort of stuff you plan on playing, although the Pacifica would be pretty versatile. Good luck!

I looked 'Gameindie' and 'Game Comparison' and found a place selling preowned copies for 27.99 (+2 quid p&p). Getting closer, but not close enough!

Really good tunes- hopefully catch you guys live somepoint in the near future.

Cheers- I still would have expected it to be cheaper than that in most places. Seemed as if it was the only game that wasn't reduced when I looked the January sales. Ah well, it should be worth it.

Finally buying this + Xbox Live today to celebrate exams being over- still seems to 40 quid everywhere though. I would have thought it would have came down in price by now...

Those "this is not an invitation to rape me" adverts.

I'm sure I saw one of those at a bus stop that had a bride on it. I didn't get it. However I now know that raping brides just isn't cricket.

100% spot on about the old folk and buses by the way. It's worrying that such a small thing could piss me off this much.

I'm having a bash at making some home made ketchup this weekend. It'll hopefully be a bit more like the middle ground between a ketchup and a relish. Not too smooth, not too chunky. I've got a decent recipe as a backbone, but I'm gonna try and toy with it. I've got the idea stuck in my head of putting a bit of apple into the mix, so I'm gonna run with that and see how it goes.

Going to drop out the brown and caster sugar from the recipe and replace with sweeteners, as the whole reason for wanting to make a home made ketchup is that the regular stuff is crammed with sugar and all kinds of garbage.

How did this work out? I consume a horrific amount of ketchup and wouldn't mind trying my hand at making a healthier alternative.

Since it's safe to assume everyone here has faked one at some point, I'll admit to once telling a girl a condom had split for a laugh. It was really funny for 5 seconds, until she burst into tears and I had to console and reassure her for about 20 minutes. It was at this point that I realised the majority of things I thought were funny other people didn't.
