  1. Life

    Hemorrhoids is my guess, goes with the username.
  2. Where in the World - Idle Thumbs Map

    No no, to the left.
  3. Where in the World - Idle Thumbs Map

    I'm right here!
  4. Where in the World - Idle Thumbs Map

    My nearest is SBM, but maybe ultimateHurl will be slightly closer. Only other chance is if there happens to be a thumb way out on the south tip of wales.
  5. Where in the World - Idle Thumbs Map

    International murder mystery?
  6. Where in the World - Idle Thumbs Map

    I usually put NA or 90210 as my postcode if it is demanded...which is how i ended up in Beverly Hills!
  7. Where in the World - Idle Thumbs Map

    Well, in the UK the postcode is a max of 100 houses! My buddy gave me his once and google street view popped me right down outside his house.

    Ya, it seems a bit unnecessary, but maybe mail volumes are getting to a point where it is viable to switch to a more automated system (robot overlords).
  9. Where in the World - Idle Thumbs Map

    We had this conversation with my friend's Singaporean wife at Christmas. I think our reason was that we are no longer in an era where the postman knows everyone on his route and so many people are renting, so things are a bit more complicated than they used to be! Also, aren't we getting a post code for every bloody house here as well? Also, i tell siri who to call and let her deal with the numbers!

    I looked it up on wikipedia. Ireland is one of a very few countries not using post codes, and probs one of the only western nations not to so^^
  11. I Had A Random Thought...

    Oooh. I gave my country and address, but it demanded an area code (we don't have them here) so now I live in Beverly Hills it seems.
  12. World of Warcraft

    I have a healer/tank monk. I play both pretty regular in raids depending on who has turned up. Most of the dps rotations just boil down to priority lists now - keep your buffs/debuffs up and then wait for procs. Getting your DPS high is a matter of (well, picking the right class and) getting your priority list right. I enjoy tanking and healing more as you get to react a lot more to what is happening to the group as a whole. As for mythic raids, i'm not sure my guild will be trying them. our heroic group runs as a pruned group of around 10-15. Our raiding group is probably around 40 people, with up to 25 running our normal night. We are up to 6/7 on both normal and heroic, but i'm not sure if we have the 20 players in the guild who will be able to take on mythic untill we outgear it a fair bit.

    I've started swimming again and it is making me so hungry. nomnomnomnomnom.
  14. World of Warcraft

    I'm getting bored of it again. I'm going to stick around for raiding (which is good fun!), but the rest has lost it's sheen. Still, best expansion in a long time!
  15. Endless Legend

    It is so busy visually. I usually try and play a few turns before bed at night, but the visuals just confuse me (Sleepy time!). I really want to play more though.
  16. Criminey, It's Christmas (2015-)!

    It is so loud and my teacher keeps making me play louder.
  17. Post your face!

    Ah, specsavers and around...5years ago I think. I'll bring it up with them at the weekend!
  18. Post your face!

    The anti glare is coming off one of my lenses. It is so annyong:/ Eye test Saturday to get some new ones!
  19. Job Hunting

    But Ben, you are a successful video game developer, like notch, or toblix!
  20. Criminey, It's Christmas (2015-)!

    I haven't had time to do my Christmas shopping yet. Oh god, i hope it is not the usual and i leave it till the last 6 months before to sort everything out again!
  21. Crikey, It's Christmas (2014)!

    BUt I haven't! It was around May last year when i did.
  22. Amsterdam/Brussels

    Why? It sounds like it is well lit. You should rent bikes and cycle everywhere in Amsterdam. But not into a canal.
  23. Job Hunting

    Sweeeet! Could be they are looking for a newcomer with some experience in a few fields or something like that, so don't fret about your qualifications just yet! Millions of luck with it! Do some dummy interviews with your friends and family if you can, get them to ask difficult and shitty questions, helps iron out the nerves:P I've slightly bullshitted my way into jobs before. If you feel like it is heading for "you aren't qualified enough" then lean on explaining how passionate you are about the field, how driven you are to do well (you started the course, self education etc) and how quickly you can learn what you need to (example from course would be great "project was X, i did X and added Y as a fun side project" or "project was X, so i did my research like this and feel i equipped myself well to research new projects as they come down the pipeline"). (For ref, i got my first job because my friend who was vacating it told his bosses i could do it and i knew a few people working there. Slight baptism of fire.)

    Well, keep the chin up. I'm sure your hard work will pay off soonTM.
  25. Post your face!

    No. Put it back on.
