Cheers for the tip. My housemate's girlfriend lives in Burnley so we'll probably head there one night. Are they popular 'book a week ahead' kind of place or just generally rock up and the food is tops?

WFMB: Walked into a bar last night. Left with new job.

They're pretty popular but they don't take bookings so it's just rock up and the food is tops. Sometimes you might have to wait like 10-15 mins for a table though if it's super busy

10-15 minute wait isn't so bad. Sounds like how Mamasita used to be. I miss that place before they changed owners. It's a pain in the arse to eat there now :(

WFMB: Feeling really proud of myself for keeping running even though I felt absolutely terrible and could've just stopped. I'm not running far distances, but this is my fourth day in a row of running, and considering a week ago I wasn't doing any running at all, I'm really happy of how far I've come.

The first week is the hardest, KC.

WFMB: School's done, was prety kickarse generally, get to go to New Caledonia for fencing in a few days, then a week off, socialize, and i get another crack at paintball

Yeah it is, but it's so damn worth it.

WFMB: KFC Popcorn chicken

Yeah mate. Civil engineering. You?

WFMB: Bought my first brand new car today :)

mechanical. I never knew any form of engineers cared about particular grades apart from P's.

what year are you in, and which course did you think you got 100 in?!?

Engineers SHOULD care about grades. Because if you fuck up, you WILL kill people.

4th year and Advanced Theory of Structures. I spoke to some of my mates today and they got a fair bit less than they expected in this course too. Ended up with 86. Never thought I'd see the day I complain about a HD. :lol: What year are you in BTW?


Afro, I've never been one to aim for only 50, cos it's all well and good to get through uni only knowing half the content, but 1. It's hard to get a job with those marks and 2. Knowing only half your job is not advisable. Of course, the worst case scenario is underdesigning something, but on the flip side, you could grossly overdesign something which costs a shitload more in materials/construction time/project management.

Anyhow, before any designs can be signed off, they have to be checked by a senior engineer. Eg, I had one of my designs checked twice. Once yesterday and once today.

I'm a mix as I have a traineeship so Uni part/fulltime and work fulltime. im roughly a bit over halfway done, I guess.

WFMB:

Beautiful

WFMB: 9 hour shift tomorrow $$$$$$$

WFMB: Laughing at Collingwood after a touchup on the biggest stage. Thanks Carlton!

WFMB: The Steve Hooker doco that was on fox sports.

:evil:
I'm so pissed off with how pathetic we were, just no will to win and fuck all intensity, Carlton to their credit put us under enormous pressure and really played with some passion.

Soz o:)

WFMB: Watching Federer find some past form and reminding everyone of his quality

This. Love watching Djokovic lose \:d/

+1

WFMB: Going to check out a car tomorrow (technically today lol). If i buy it, it'll be my first car!

what type bowdz?

WFMB: Losing weight.

WFMB: same here. my wedding is in september so thought i'd get back to my finely-tuned-athlete-self for it & the honeymoon. it's crazy what a couple of months of minimal training while renovating a house can do to your body!

Congrats on getting married! Where are you having the honeymoon?

ha thanks!

two weeks in peru, south america. start off by heading to cuzco for a couple of days, then doing the 4day inca trail to machu picchu, then spend the rest of the time chilling and exploring.

pv4 - I've had a couple of mates go to Peru and they absolutely love it.

Probably a bad idea to tell you that the one who went there for his honeymoon is currently going through a divorce. :lol:

Federer in-form is one of the finest sights in sport, he almost has the ball on a string.

WFMB: Work life is good, personal life is good, home life is good. The cynic in me is waiting for something to go drastically wrong, but for now it's rocking.
