Come on over, Kurgan. I could use a babysitter.

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 05 Jun 2006, 03:01

Great, well, at least I know I'll have a job if I cross the Atlantic. Although, I'm not sure how you've managed to get this idea that I'll be at your beck and call; first a chaffeur and now babysitter?

I'll let that slide, but I absolutely draw the line at being a maid.

I've got to keep something special for Saturday nights, haven't I?

I'd be a great babysitter.

Cheeseburgers, pepsi and kung fu movies.

We'd have a blast!

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 05 Jun 2006, 03:09

Yeah, like Bobbi would trust you near her kids

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 05 Jun 2006, 03:10

Hey, look at my avatar.

How could you NOT trust that face?? :mrgreen:

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 05 Jun 2006, 03:14

To be fair, I trusted the face of your previous avatar a little more. Well, maybe not trust, but I'd certainly do anything she said

No way, Mark! No way!

I'd come home and find the house in chaos and the kids practicing kung fu on each other, because you'd decided to change the rules!

Probably true!

What's so bad about practicing kung fu?

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 06 Jun 2006, 14:26

My version of Kung Fu is mostly just headbutting and eye-gouging. I don't think Bobbi would like her pre-teen daughters to be learning that from a hairy green monster who lives in a trashcan.

Nothing, if you know what you're doing. I don't think my kids, especially under Mark's supervision, wouldn't be able to practice ON one another (which is what I said) without getting seriously hurt.

They might hurt me?

! well i didnt study for this one really, but oh well lol but man henry VII did NOTHING!!!!

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 07 Jun 2006, 12:13

Good luck with it. And you're right, Henry VII didn't do much. Now, Henry VIII, there's a guy who knew how to treat a lady

Goddamn school. 3 years long I havent had a bad grade, now my final exam consisted of working in a group, and 1/2 of the 4 people hardly did anything, and the stuff we did have, we couldnt print because all the (colour) printers in school were broken down. So I got a some bad grades for the final project which might cause me to fail this year...

The worst part is that they did like 'MY' stuff, but since it's a group-project, you only get graded as a group ...

Why the fuck is my diploma and future in the hands of a group of other students, and if they are lazy, I fail!? Dumb ass projects

Anyway, I'll try to get a talk with my mentor at school to see what will happen now. Not very happy with this...

Shen · Post by **Shen** » 07 Jun 2006, 17:20

that sucks yi, alot! i hope your mentor maybe able to help.

my exams are over now, i blagged my way through, like usual lol, the querstion "was it richard III's mistake that henry ended hi reign" i wrote "his biggest mistake was being killed"

but there were some troubles with the exam, they couldnt log me onto the pc, so i started 15 minutes late, and the desk was too high so my hands hurt now lol,but yay its over

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 07 Jun 2006, 17:59

Yeah, group work in College was a bitch for this reason. Too many slackers and jokers. University was different though, my group saved my ass somewhat.

Another energetic evening of 5-a-side football. I (accidentally, I must add) got my own back on the fella that smacked the football into my face a while back. He went skidding into the side and hit his back/right scapula. He needed a few minutes of rest after that

the68monkey · Post by **the68monkey** » 08 Jun 2006, 00:14

Kurgan, you're beasty!

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 08 Jun 2006, 00:17

As I said, it was accidental. But he'll get over it. I know I have

Markgway · Post by **Markgway** » 08 Jun 2006, 02:25

Anyone else know what the fork 'a scapula' is?

Kurgan · Post by **Kurgan** » 08 Jun 2006, 02:57

Shoulder blade.

I don't know if I shall laugh in disbelief or simply cry about the story I am going to post now.

Work. Lunch break. Awesome weather. I'm sitting outside having lunch with my 3 colleagues (all females

) and we're chatting away. Suddenly, the phone in my pocket vibrates. I pick up the phone, excuse myself and walk a bit aside. My colleague from my other work place (the video rental as some of you might remember) starts talking, "Man, you won't believe this. Someone commited suicide and jumped off the roof and onto the store's roof."
I go, "Wow!! Is everything fine? I mean with the roof..." (lol)
"Well, we noticed that something was wrong when water started dripping from the ceiling. We contacted plumbers and they found the corpse. Next thing we saw were police and ambulances." (as if they weren't too late.)
"Damn! Must have been one hell of a busy morning.", I said.
Suddenly, he gets really loud saying, "I hate that stupid idiot. Couldn't he commit suicide somewhere else? There are so many bridges, train stations etc."
"What's wrong?", I ask.
"He fell onto the antenna and our TV doesn't work here!"
"You're kidding me. Couldn't you think of something more believable?"
"It's true, man! Ask the boss."
"Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo", I scream.

Well, I couldn't care less about TV, but during the soccer championship, I am at work on some of the days there are matches. Even tomorrow, on the first day. If they don't fix it by tomorrow, I'll be really pissed. Two games will be tomorrow. In one of them plays Germany. Needless to say that I'll skip work if the antenna isn't fixed by then.

So you decide. Shall I laugh about such an unbelievable coincidence. Should I be noticing some kind of sign. I'm not superstitious, but maybe I shouldn't watch any of the soccer games. Oooor.... shal I *sniff* just cry...

Yi-Long · Post by **Yi-Long** » 08 Jun 2006, 15:00

Hmmm... he jumped on the antenna. That must have hurt. Smacking into concrete is painfull enough as it is, but to have your fall broken by some antenna, which probably also hurts at impact, might have broken his fall about, causing him to suffer a bit longer then he would have expected.

Why cant people just commit suicide in the privacy of their own home, or (if you dont want to shock your family/girl/boyfriend) in the privacy of a car or whatever, by taking a bunch of pils or something!?

Sucks about the football though. I doubt it will be fixed by tomorrow. The police probably wants to investigate a bit, and then it will all have to be cleaned up, and only THEN can a repair guy stop by to fix it... and tomorrow is the football, so most have probably taken a day off tomorrow...
