Not as bad as the cringe-fest that the Public Enemy gig in the red box turned out to be.

Flava Flav's anti-brit ranting being totally ill-informed and making him come accross as a complete ass-wipe. Then he pulled out a tenner and started calling it "fucking british money" and held a lighter to it.
It was a fucking IRISH tenner.

Chuck D shoulda kicked that homey's ASS.

I remember that, they kept tryin to say tiocfaidh ár lá but it came out like chucky our lay. big mess. chuck d was going on and on about the queen being filthy rich, like he's such a poor bastard himself.

So with all this talk of people being bored in work i'm getting nosey - what does everyone do?

Me, I work in the OPW press office.

You're all computer nerds! (Nearly) every last one of ye! Jesus, this may as well be the Linux Kernel Development mailing list? I used to think you guys were cool...

I'm a unix admin in Ireland.com. Until July 31st. Woohoo! Unemployment looms!

 

[admin]

i answer phones to stupid people with broken computers. my job is very close to being over now, 12 people (from 100) were let go last week, and by the end of the summer there will only be 50, so i have a 38/88 chance of being fired... hmmmnn...

[silo]

i'm an archaeological assistant (recently bumped up from grade b to grade a, verily i am a god amongst men).

however, i have a masters in... (drum roll...) multimedia. which makes me an interwebber too: just one who finished up my studies in mid-september last year and said "gee, thanks osama, loads of jobs now."

for the record, i did thingsyouremissing.com's frontend/design bit. and http://www.snaptoguides.com. gissajob.

I don't know if you're aware silo,but what you just did whith those two words is called a spoonerism.

It's when you take words and interchange letters to make other words.I think it works better when you don't make them into proper words,like you did.

This has been another in a serious of coincidences involving spoonerisms for me.I started using them in everyday speech,not thinking there was a term for them at all.Then my friend got his daily dictionary.com word,and guess what,it was spoonerism.

And now you Silo.I'm beginning to wonder if my calling is spoonerisms and not bisual vasic!

if wou yant to talk more asout sboonerisms,dlease po here.

Ooooohhhh the possibilities!!


[1]This also reinforces my bored at work theory of posting[/1]

 

[silo]

yes. the legend goes that there was a reverend spooner who used to do this all the time in sermons in some american back-of-beyond church and the term was coined in his honour. i shit you not.

I work for a medium sized bank who are owned by big bad Scots.

The worst thing is dealing with an unreasonable public who refuse to take any responsibility for their own actions.

VDU tan yes, coz they won't spring for an LCD for poor little me.

If you happen to come across a sleazy biker called Dave Murphy in your sleazy archeology-for-hire underworld, sleazily tell him I said a sleazy hello.
