Would you buy a raffle ticket for £100 if the prize was a house?

Yes
So long as (like Halfy said) it's a nice house.

Depends on the house.
When I lived in Hull, there were houses on sale near me for £20. The catch was that you had to renovate and then live in 'em for 3 years (IIRC).

I wouldn't pay £100 to enter a raffle for a £20 house.

2 bedrooms and a easily converted to a library room, acre of land minimum, close to a butchers & bakers shops and have at least one decent local pub. Not that im fussy or anything.

TV? Pah.
There's nothing good on until Chuck at ten, and even that's ropey.

"Hi, I'm your friend's little brother, and you never liked me. Want to be friends?"

Facebook
is a bit crap. I got fed up with it quickly. I took ages to get into it, and lost interest more rapidly. I still use it from time to time for stalkingresearch purposes and to contact the occasional friend who doesn't use regular e-mail, but that's it.

I can't be arsed with the games and stuff.

b3ta is much more fun.
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 20:42, closed)

Quite.
I prefer Livejournal and text messages for organising stuff, the games are all rubbish and too many people I was happy never seeing again can use it to stalk me.

I myself am far too good at stalking to require the internet for those purposes.
(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 20:44, closed)

Facebook?
blocked on both our computers - some baaaad stuff was going on at my eldest daughter's school last year. I got tough. I also copy and pasted some rather nasty remarks left by wee lassies who do know better, and emailed them to their parents. I've also done the same with msn conversations before.

Evil? Moi? You say that like it's a bad thing.

b3ta is like Facebook in reverse
Facebook allows you to make interweb contact with people you knew at school, as real people.

Whereas we spend all day writing crap to complete strangers on the net, then agree to meet up in the real world. I think that's a better way.

Especially when you need to guess what people look like. Although I'm steering clear of that after today!

If I had kids I would ban the internet.
My little brother's mate (born in '85) had broadband from the age of 10, and at 15 was so overexposed to porn that it had to have horses in to get him interested.

Prior to the bash I hadn't really talked to people much, so I'm impressed by claims of "You looked just like how I imagined!"

I default to assuming everyone on the internet is an internet fatty, so was pleasantly surprised.

Kissing may lead to baby-making, Gayer
but care during the baby-making process means it need not lead to the making of actual babies. Unless you're unlucky, or else desire it to happen.

And it helps to have one person of each gender, if you're going for the sprog manufacturing process. Kaol licking men's faces just won't cut it!

My CV
Curriculum Vitae

Richard
44 • • •
Phone • E-mail

Personal statement
I am an enthusiastic, well-organised and reliable person who, at 18 years old, is seeking the opportunity for more experience in a call centre, with a view to building a career.

I have an excellent telephone manner and sound communication skills. I pay particular attention to detail and am quick to learn. I am a competent and confident computer user and have relevant work experience in data entry; telephony and the general office duties listed in the advertisement. I am a self-taught typist with good speed and accuracy.

I am educated to GCSE standard.

Work / Vocational Training Experience

Office Administrator
I was most recently employed as an Office Administrator for a busy family removals company who specialise in commercial and library relocations. My role within the company consisted of a variety of administration duties.

I operated the switchboard, taking all the incoming calls and redirecting them to the appropriate member of staff or taking accurate messages when necessary. As the first point of contact I had to maintain a professional, polite manner in order to represent the company under it’s best light.

Another of my tasks was to write up any quotations given to me by an estimator, this required me to accurately transfer hand written details into a template on Microsoft Word and prepare a covering letter, I arranged for the quotation to be either posted or e-mailed to the potential clients. I was also responsible for preparing written confirmation details; this includes information such as dates, times and relevant addresses or locations relating to the contract.

The company has contracts with private companies and a Local Authority to store archived documents which are sometimes required by the client, I therefore operated and maintained an archiving database, which runs on Microsoft Access and Visual Basic, so as to keep track of archive box locations in order to retrieve and deliver them on request to the client.

I transferred the information provided to me by the operations manager to a job sheet for the foreman so that the details of the relocation are effectively passed to the operatives on site.

I prepared invoices for domestic removals ensuring all the relevant details were visible to the client for payment.

Throughout this role I developed various skills and feel confident in my abilities to deal with colleagues and clients alike, and to ensure accuracy in data transfer. I appreciate that a conscientious, professional and polite manner at all times is key to business success.

Data Entry Clerk
I was employed on a temporary contract to identify potential clients for a new service presented by chartered surveyors. Working to a director, I maintained a database of company customers in Microsoft Access, expanding it through research to include other companies who may benefit from the service. I identified appropriate contact points within those companies and used Microsoft Word to generate targeted mailshots. I undertook all general office duties, including filing, typing and photocopying. I completed all my tasks within deadline.

Trainee Blacksmith
I attended an intensive blacksmithing course during which I learnt the essential methods of blacksmithing.

Volunteer
Extended work experience in an educational Bronze Age camp.

I seem to have spent more time pruning my CV than actually adding new content to it. Some people say a CV should not be longer than a page, but mine's 3 pages.

If that was directed at me then:

It's nothing to do with fucking the rules or anything, it's just to do with not giving a shit. No-one is who they say they are at work.

The last two jobs I interviewed for I didn't get because of the internet. So I've had to make my profile private, change a bunch of usernames and ask other people to delete content about me.

@ Ancrenne
Fuck that, for a "free thinking" socialist type person, you're incredibly patronising and presumptuous.

I'm too fucked off to sit here and chat now. Cya all. Going to bed.

Edit: Oh, and contradictory and hipocritcal.

Rule shagging again
I for one think we should always be ourselves at all times, but at the same time, if we want the jobs we want, we have to be aware that some aspects of ourselves can put off some people. It's not ideal, but it's the way it is. As I said, I'd join any revolution going to comabt this.

These jobs are about getting work done and not a platform to express yourself. In my defense, I have chosen a line of work that I enjoy doing and has been an interest since I was a small child.

But Gayer
Is it such a great principle to have to be publicly on the net talking about goatse and stuff when it could hold your career back, not to mention souring future friends, girlfriends etc...?

Why not have an online persona that is exactly the same as your real life persona only untraceable to you?

Where's the harm in that?

Oh fuckit, if you can't discuss it then I'm not going to bother.

I've got
Bread, beetroot, saurkraut and locusts.
Tempted?


I finally got the jumping bastards back in their box.

@ Becky
Gaz me and I'll happily discuss it with you tomorrow, however, right now Ancrenne's gotten my back up something rotten.
(Belgaer is, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 23:45, closed)

* Snogs Ancrenne back *
I've just eaten some toast and still had some in my mouth when I snogged you. Still hungry?

G'night Belle Gay.
( mistaspakkaman and the inedible shifting caterpillars, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 23:47, closed)

I've been smoking. Mmmmm, tasty nicotines :)
Gayer - it sucks, but it's the way things are. I'm not much different online than I am in person (I hope), but I've been working where I am now for almost three years and I'm still not entirely myself at work - and things that are fine now would not have been appreciated when I first started. You've got to demonstrate that you can do the job first, and be yourself second, or unless you're very lucky binman is all you'll manage.

Moving swiftly on, I'm not as drunk as I suspect you are Ancrenne, but I feel some frivolity before bed is in order - what adventures have you had this evening?
(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 23:50, closed)

I has cheesy toast
with just a smidgen of cheese on it as I don't want to start puking again and I'm still starving
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 23:50, closed)

And also,
I have some pasta, some potato salad, some bread and some smoked mackerel - would you like any?

@Kaol - I have a robot cricket, real escaped ones cannot be any more annoying. I have had to tie it up and seal it in a box locked inside another box shut in a drawer under a blanket.
(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 23:53, closed)

Smoked fish?
I think someone slipped me a kipper at the bash, thus my vomiting.

EDIT: Why didn't you take the batteries out?
( Cawl, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 23:55, closed)

Wookie
Get you with yer posh food. *flings fish fingers*

Why not just take the batteries out?
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 23:57, closed)

To take the batteries out I would have had to destroy it,
and it's a funky little brass doodad that I will eventually treasure. Once the battery has run out.

I really wish there had been an off switch though.
(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Mon 23 Jun 2008, 23:58, closed)

Oooooh...
Is it one of those ones they sell in shops in Hong Kong, places like that.
In a box, and they go chirping of they get light on them?
( Cawl, Tue 24 Jun 2008, 0:00, closed)

Really not light sensitive,
as it's in a box inside another box under a blanket in a drawer and it still goes off from time to time, but it's similar.
(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Tue 24 Jun 2008, 0:02, closed)

Sounds annoying...
Like the "misc electronical beep" that I hear every day at 5:23 am.
( Cawl, Tue 24 Jun 2008, 0:04, closed)

Top of the annoying list at the moment
is the electricity meter's "You will run out of electricity before your mains-powered alarm clock goes off, and there's fuck all you can do about it because it's 2am and all the shops are shut, ahahahahah!" beeping noise.

It went off last night. I was late for work.
(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Tue 24 Jun 2008, 0:06, closed)

That tops the list, hard.
Although, phone-based alarm FTW.
( Cawl, Tue 24 Jun 2008, 0:07, closed)

I dunno
I had a furby that I swear was posessed. I'd be sitting in the lounge a good 5 or 6 metres away from it with no one else in the room and it'd "wake up" and start talking to me.
( fuck shit up the best you never had, Tue 24 Jun 2008, 0:10, closed)

My phone was supposed to be charging,
only there was no bastard electricity so it switched itself off :(

EDIT - A furby with a dying battery is terrifying.
(wellgroomedwookiee is a filthy-minded hobgoblin, Tue 24 Jun 2008, 0:11, closed)

Furbies are creepy robot bastards.
I don't like them.

Ah yes, the old electricity meter running out and mains powered alarm-clock. Have been late for work too because of this. And this was the day after I'd promised my boss I'd make more of an effort to be in on time.

xkcd is just awesome.
It has just the right combination of geekiness and sentimentality for me, and consitently makes me wish I'd thought of things first.

XKCD
Suits my esoteric taste in humour pretty well.

b3ta however is a good all-rounder.

@ Ancrenne
I don't have enough hair for a perm, sadly. If electrocuted my hair would look more like an elderly run-over sea urchin.

Not
too bad.

Ate my housemates sausages. He wasn't happy, but I blamed it on the other housemates brothers friends who were staying at the weekend.

especially since he'd planned on cooking his horsefaced girlfriend a sausage casserole for dinner.
