Wonder if they do this with everyone, you could have: four eyes, tart, tramp, nerd and a bit rapey.

I know it is isn't nice to be picked out for stuff like that, but it is quite funny...I went out with a girl years ago, lovely girl, I used to call her fire fanny for obvious reasons, she thought it was hilarious [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND TIGHTLY-CLOSED EYES]

I know there used to be a lad in our year group in primary with ginger hair, and he always used to go wild went people said he was ginger... He came up with the usual "I'm strawberry blonde!" line. Hilarious.

Gingers can be quite fiery [pun intended], I have a bit Ginger in my hair, it is normally dark brown but bits of ginger can be seen, I dye it all the time though. I have known a lad since he was a baby, he is mid-20's and I am sure his first words would have been "It's Strawberry Blonde, not Ginger" he still says that today, though his hair has ended up very blonde..
Out of interest is there actually such a colour as strawberry blonde?

Strawberries are red, and blonde is yellow... you end up with orange!

That's like asking if Jedi is really a religion!

Is Jedi a religion [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND TIGHTLY-CLOSED EYES]
The 2001 census recorded something like 0.7% of people putting Jedi as there religion in New Zealand 1 census recorded Jediism at 1.5%, 0.3% higher than Buddhism and Hindu...
So basically there is no such colour as strawberry blonde, I guess it is just a colour in the imagination of most gingers when trying to deny there hair colour ;-)

So there's this paedophile on Facebook who claims he is 'horny' and he's liking all of my (female) friends' profile pictures, which has obviously caught on, so we're now taking the piss out of him. See screenshot attached.
This Kimberley girl popped up to me on Facebook saying that she's single and if I have a full time job. I took the mick and said my job is to care for a girl named Esme (one of my friends who I was talking to at the time and showing her the chatlog) who is underprivileged and drinks alcohol in bus stations and parks. The penny dropped, and this lass asks if it pays well... The conversation develops... See attached. I can't believe some guys actually fall for this and send them money.
It has humoured me though.

Because I'm evil, I tend to put down 'Sith Lord' in any Census I've completed. It's doubtful I'm the only one who's done this, so when the data for 2001 and 2011 is released in 90-100 years time, it should make interesting reading.

Why is the census actually kept for a century before releasing the results of it?

Because a large amount of personal information is stored pertaining to people who might still be living.

The WiFi may not work in the best bits of the beer garden, but had my own Merlin, Chinook and Puma flypasts today.
The weather has been hot and the beer has been cold.

Good stuff Daniel.
Blood, sweat and tears, but understand the importance of positivity on the forum!

Got a mocha from a coffee shop earlier and the box was ticked to say I am a "lovely person"
P.S. No idea why the photo has rotated. Stupid phone

7524's Wi-Fi, it works and at a decent speed, something I was not expecting after my experience with 7502.

Had a very good day on my first day with Go North East today. Everyone was incredibly friendly and very welcoming indeed. My mentor today who gave me my induction was really helpful, and it has been a pleasure working alongside him today.
I'm on a month-long Work Experience placement and will be based at Riverside and Bensham, getting a feel for what it's like to work in different departments 'behind the scenes', which I wouldn't usually get to see as a customer.
As I've already had seven weeks off school and had no luck in finding a paid job, I thought I'd be mad not to try and go for a work experience placement in an industry that I have an interest in. I think it'll look great on my CV, and hopefully help out for jobs in the future too. It'll also get me back into a routine which I need before September, as it's always hell going back to school after the summer holidays.

Pleased you enjoyed it. Not everyone who works for GNE is a cantankerous bugger like me

Glad to hear you enjoyed it - do you plan to become a driver or anything?
