Gah, the work stuff sounds horribly frustrating, I know what it's like to be totally short-staffed and not allowed to get more in. The guitar lessons sound promising though, and just remember, if you give up this time, you're depriving charity. Can you really look all those poor sick kids in teh face and do that to them, you heartless bastard?

You sound like my boss.

These lessons: Do they a have a gig simulator and teach you how to powerslide? If they don't make you do cock press-ups I think you should get your money back, charity or no.

i never really got into Garth Marenghi , i think it was just before Nathan Barley came out and all my attention was focused on that wonderful show.

I can't believe that about Mark, and it is so difficult to get rid of him or anything. Such a difficult thing to manage. Argh.

7 a lesson is quality, really, really cheap. Hope you're enjoying it.

Fucking hell, I'm only ten minutes into Dark Place and its loving awesome.

Looks like I've found a contender for my new DVD ripping software. I'm breaking the law cos otherwise you'll never see it again.

make the most of this opportunity to let what's left of your sales assistants know that you're not happy with this state of affairs, and that if Mark pulls similar shit with them they should let you know.
also, I can't help but feel that mentioning this to your area manager-type person wouldn't hurt.

guitar lessons? good luck. never had the patience to actually learn anything on it...

Oh I shall. That always makes everything better. I shall listen to it, and dance around admiring my Anti-Flag tattoo whilst vowing never ever to get involved with a guy who doesn't like punk or tattoos ever again.

Oh, and Darkplace is awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwesome.

Well, if my quick comparison of my GH2 score to yours is anything to go by, you should be kick-ass at learning to play a guitar with actual strings.

Just watched episode three of The Shield. Now, I'm sold. Kirk Baltz, man! He should be in everything!

Are we really gonna go back to calling each other homosexuals on message boards?

I have kicked Timesplitters onto easy mode, it is now far more enjoyable.

i think i will probably trade in a couple of games for the darkness, although i keep meaning to sit down and finish c&c3 and cod3
