Lack of Banter.

[Ginger]

Idle Banter has been really quiet for ages, I feel there has been a real lack of opportunities for me to apply my ever so slightly cheeky, but always tasteful, sense of humour.

We need more talk, not to be one to shout for action while being inactive here is a brief overview of the current life of ginger. I’m preparing to apply to do a PHD, not sure whether it is going to be in Numeric Maths, Statistics, or Bioinformatics or some hybrid of the above, there are a number of fields in each that I find fascinating.

I still play wow loads, come and join me, there are a fair few thumbers already there, in fact I almost feel like I'm no longer a gamer and am now a wower, I rarely read any gaming sites (even skip over the gaming forum here most of the time) but read wowinsider every day

There just isn't much in games at the moment that excites me, also a lack of funds prevent me from experimenting with games (furthermore I don't own any of the current consoles, in the last generation owned all three. This may amplify my sense of alienation [that being said I recently flat sat {or is it sitted} a place that owned a Wii60, and other than the amazing rez HD, little distracted me from sexually assaulting the cats I was looking after])

That is pretty much the life of the ginger at the mo. So you can see why I need you guys to talk, share and make me laugh with your wonderfully varied, brilliant senses of humour.

I wonder how much of the slowdown in the banter stakes has to do with our regular forum filler getting a new job?

Allow me to fill some of the void by announcing that Monday the 10th of March is The International Day of Awesomeness

Get Pokémon and play it with me

And also stay in Brighton do a PhD.

Lili has been really moping since you left by the way. She's only a young girl, she has experienced her first heart (and hymen) break. She's off her food and sometimes I catch her gazing at the picture of you that Spaff keeps in his wallet.

Also, come see Lazytown live on stage with me. It's not the original cast ( ) but there may be some upskirt shots.

I meant cake, not upskirt shots. Silly me.

Anyway even if there were upskirt shots, the actress playing Stephanie is like 20, so it wouldn't be illegal. So don't worry. This won't be put on your file, Ginger.

Not that you have one.

Yet.

Ha ha I kid, you won't have a file.

Anyway, just gonna see if Lili's internal bleeding has stopped yet. What with her constant meowing, and the crying of that girl you're storing in the attic here... what's her name? Sharon? Shannon? Sheila? Whatever... the two of them combined are driving me nuts.

the actress playing Stephanie is like 20,

WTF, what's the point in going then?

I'll go if u find a kid we can take with us, Toby won't lend us Oli, has anyone got a kid Yuf and I can borrow for a fun day out? How about baby T?

When is the show? If it's more than 9 months away u can sabotage the contraceptive u use and make it so u get (“accidentally”) pregnant, giving us a solution to the no kid problem. After the show we can flush it down the toilet so that it doesn't ruin your life.

Are u finally playing pokemon? I haven't played that for ages.

The International Day of Awesomeness

Sounds like something Tom Cruise made up

[JoannaDark]

yay banter!

i too feel i have been abandoning gaming, been doing a lot of rendering and it's really hard to come home and wanna turn on a computer. do a phd ginger! they're fantastic, it's like three years of going "am i doing enough? no? shit. wow. i really didn't do enough and now i'm unemployable". i'm just entering my second year and it's the constant second guessing yourself that does it. on the plus side i took january off to drink and laze about. there are perks.

also i have started a band and we're going to be awesome. ha, i sound about 17.

[BooJaka]

I've been too busy with uni work and house hunting which means any free time I've had hasn't really been taken up by games.

Having said that though at the end of the week I'm back home for 4 weeks of mind-numbing, soul-crushing, depressingly lonely boredom so I imagine I will be bantering more then

I'm currently trying to get into Medical school to do a BM, BS so am lacking the time to do much else other than read up on anatomy, diseases and stuff like that.

Good luck with the PhD though! Does anyone else find it frightening that there may one day be a Dr. Ginger out there?

[Ginger]

My sister is a doctor at Torquay Hospital, she says she'll be able to sort out with some work experience if u want. In my experience of seeing people applying to medical school Work experience seems to make a huge difference.

PM me if u want her number to sort it out.

Are u doing a post-graduate application?

[Coldkill]

... YAY! :tup: :tup:

[Nappi]

Been busy with my studies as well. Strangely though, I end up here most frequently exactly when I shouldn't. Like when reading for circuit analysis exam...

I assume the only correct answer in that exam is ".......they're circular" ?

[Nappi]

Yes. But one had to use Laplace transform to find that out.

This should amuse some here: it's a video from a Dutch programme a few years back where Rob Muntz dressed up as Hitler and went about in Austria to commentate on the rise of the extremist right politician Haider. In typical over-the-top fashion, of course
