  1. Bit hard when my I'll only be getting student loan and no bursary. Obviously I will want a job then too but there's no guarantee I'll have the money for it.
  2. cheers. looks like it might all get pushed back a year anyway. This site should have a RemindMe! function like reddit. As now i probably won't need this information for a while.
  3. Currently been playing lots of Binding of Isaac. Completed the original 6 levels and then the 8. I know that you get better upgrades when you have no hearts but I like hearts because I'm bad for running in to spikes.
  4. I played the beta of that. Didn't like it. for the size of the map and the amount you'll be driving around, the vehicles handled like absolute shit.
  5. Who will pay my college tuition fees? Away to college to do HND sound production. SAAS won't fund it because I've had 2 years at a HN level already (HNC/HND Electrical Engineering). I was told as long as I didn't get the qualification then I'm okay to get funded for this new HN level course. But then no, apparently that's just a blanket statement they send out. I dropped out 3 days after the cut-off, so they've classed it as a years funding. They do 2+1. But I won't get my +1 year funding until the second year of this HND. So I'm stumped for funding for the first year. They won't switch it round and fund the first year (giving me time to save for the second) and I'm currently on ESA benefits. What do I do?
  6. this, then quit. and use your 40K to do a job search from the bahamas.
  7. The entire episode of Always Sunny entitled "Hero or Hate Crime?" was about this very predicament. I'm with Kirsten, do something nice for the office. Hell, maybe even buy a fancy coffee machine or new radio or something like that too. Sucks to hear she might have caved though.
  8. I used to be late to one of my jobs quite often. buses. I could have got an earlier bus. but I would have been there 45 mins early with no overtime. Sack that. What's worse is they would enact a "15 for every 5" rule. meaning if I was only 5 mins late due to the buses, I'd have to stay 15 mins at night. So, either turn up 45 mins early and not get paid for it, or stay 15 mins late and not get paid for it. It was quite obvious what the choice would be.
  9. Cheers folks. So thunderbolt is the future aye? Yeah I will be looking at getting midi controllers/piano but they're slightly lower down in priorities. Want to get better gear for monitoring and recording to better my mixing skills.
  10. So I start HND Sound Production in August. Over the next two years I'm wanting to build up my home studio. What gear is best bang for the buck? What's an essential bit of kit that won't break the bank? Are there things I should save up for and just do without instead getting a cheap version? Let me know! So far I'm looking in to getting: Focusrite Scarlett KRK Rokits Headphones (?) I think I'll need: Pro Tools (not overly. but this is what I'll be using in college. Be good to get some practice at home.) I saw they do a subscription service. 30 quid a month seems not too bad. Considering some packages are a grand outright for a perpetual lisence. I tried to look in to it but I got confused. Is Pro Tools HD what I really need? Or can I get the vanilla version? A USB hub. Anyone know decent ones that won't cause too much lag? Macbooks only have 2 USB ports. Or should I look at getting thunderbolt stuff over USB? This will definitely be a slow process, and I've probably missed out some gear/software. But I'm just wanting to get shit in order so I can slowly but surely start acquiring gear/saving for gear.
  11. Being told "I'll pick up a mcdonalds breakfast on my way in. oh wait, just noticed the time. i won't get there in half an hour" morning ruined.

    Your current read?

    Has anyone read Rollins' travel books/journals?
  13. Jaaakkkeee

    Your current read?

    Cheers. I've heard good things about Get In The Van but never been able to find a copy for a decent price. I'll have a look at getting the other ones you recommended.
  14. Jaaakkkeee

    Your current read?

    Been listening to a lot of Podcasts recently about Scientology. Going Clear and Ron Miscavaige's books the best ones to read? Any other books along the lines of going clear about other religions? Also, anyone got any recommendations for books on the following subjects: UK Punk US Punk (black flag etc) Hip-hop/gangster rap LAPD racism
  15. That sounds cool, gimme a message
  16. If you you like Fubar News on facebook you'll see Aberdeen is in the middle of a complete city-wide crime spree and also loads of dogs are going missing right now. And traffic is the most mental it's ever been. and everywhere's flooded.
  17. probably a Lights or Chvrches song or something. She's been hanging around with them lot lately.
  18. bassist who can do the skramz. you a fan of bands like dead swans/modern life is war also? Love me some defeater but I must admit I prefer the "rawer" sound of dead swans etc.
  19. That's Fucking Delicious? Him watching ancient aliens with Tyler the creator is pretty wacky.
  20. Vice has a program called Bong Appetite.
  21. Willing to do some pretty cheap deals if you take a chunk of them off my hands. Even willing to drop the price of Clone Conspiracy (which is already half the price of what they were retail)
  22. If this is anything to go by, I'm going to really enjoy the new Paramore album. And so begins falling in love with someone who I don't even know again. Fucking hell. I only just finished the office and haven't gotten over Jenna Fischer yet.
  23. Was watching a Joe Rogan podcast. He (and Joey Diaz) are all about edibles. He described the same experience but actually enjoys it. He said it's good to once in a while let yourself be vulnerable and get really introspective. You're all paranoid then when you come out the other side you realise it really was all in your head and all your anxieties and worries seem more abstract. Wouldn't like to have that feeling myself though, but I can see why someone would enjoy it. Plus, them being in california I guess the paranoia isn't exactly "shit i hope i don't get caught" kind of paranoia that I assume would plague most people over this side of the pond.
  24. That was probably the problem. It takes longer to kick in. You could be waiting an hour for a brownie to kick in. A lot of people tend to eat more in that time and end up far higher than they wanted to be. Also it reacts differently when cooked/eaten. A lot of people say it gets you higher.
