This is what I will now believe happened.

I get very excited about Christmas, but this year it has appeared out of nowhere after the worst year ever on record ever. Hopefully it will be pure awesome to make up for it :)

I won't 'do' Christmas.

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!
My girlfriend does Weihnachten instead, which is like the German version. I tag along too, in a non-believing way, as I consider Christmas and all variations of as basically secular these days.

That suggests the number of posters is going up, while the number of posts is going down. It's backward, chap.

Is the graph not showing the number of posts made by each person in order of post count? So it is going down because as you go down the member list they post less.

I am revising right now :'(

I am contemplating killing myself by papercuts inflicted by the 17th edition book. I don't know how to revise I've never done it before :( just practicing past papers and swearing at the answers every now and then. If I had as much times as I wanted to do the test then I'd pass no problem but I'm a bit stressed by the limit imposed.
I shouldn't really be on here eh? I actually only came on to have a moan at you kalmar, since you at least understand how ludicrous an idea is it to test someone on the 17th edition.

Can any one on c24 recommend web forums for cornish people interested in regular cornish issues, such as normal poltics, social/environmental issues, constructive ideas for cornish recognition, etc

Its good that C24 provides a home for the legalistic hardcore and conspiracy theorists. (not to tar them with the same brush, as the legal is worthy but utterly dull), but does not really provide a home anymore for the more normal, or rather mainstream, people interested in the cornish movement.

I have now resorted to listening to Snow Patrol, THINGS HAVE GOT THAT BAD. Actually, I'm not a big fan of Snow Patrol and don't really have any particular feelings either way towards them, but I think that 'You could be happy', 'Make this go on forever' and 'Set the fire to the third bar' are three excellent songs. Always good to listen to when in a bad mood.

I have managed to convince myself that I would benefit more from a decent nights sleep than I would from another hour of (pretending to) study. So I am off to bed, where I will probably start playing GeoDefense on my iPhone and not actually get to sleep til after eleven.

Make sure you get up early and nail an 1-2 hours before you go. It really helps :)

I have an hour or so in work before I go do the test so I will do some studying then (or alternatively I will drink coffee and moan about how little studying I did tonight, the get bored and start discussing the weekend).

I hope that EVERYBODY has their fingers and toes crossed for my holidays I've booked for Monday and tuesday. They got approved, but I have a sort of training session scheduled for Tuesday and if my boss notices then I might have to go in. It's not even a real training session it's just a briefing about what happens at the 'aspiration meetings' we're getting where we tell the company what we want to happen to us when they close my site. If my holidays get cancelled for that I'll be ragingg. Especially since I bought wine in especially.

Oh, the benefits of working for my company-today was baileys awareness day or something, so lunch was chicken with Baileys sauce and then baileys cheesecake. Tasty!

God I really am going to extreme lengths to distract myself. Please ignore me.

I went to Cornwall once, for a week. We stayed in Bude - absolutely stunning countryside, beautiful beaches, and all helped by the weather being amazing for the full 7 days, of course. The people seemed fine, on the most part. It was a bit weird, actually - everyone was perfectly lovely most of the time, but just a bit 'different', like they were 10% caterpillar.

That was my first reaction but it was actually very nice-it was a Baileys and wholegrain mustard cream sauce which sounds even worse but the Baileys flavour was very subtle. I really enjoyed it.

Is the world deserted today or something? There were no kids on the bus, the roads were empty*, there was no-one in town and now I've seen 2 people in work so far.

Was there a zombie apocalypse, or are the schools having a training day?

Yeah, it's hardly rained the past 3 days.

Ooooh look how British I am, I'm talking about the weather. And waiting for the kettle to boil too!

Erm, also, I spent pretty much every summer from age 8 to 14 in Cornwall after my godparents moved down there to run a camping site. Contrary to Mimi's memories of the place, it always seemed to be raining. Oh look, I'm doing it again :facepalm:

It's be because you are a Marxist and your body is reacting to the Earl Gray in revulsion as all proper tea is theft.

Good Cornish pasties are hard to find (and dedicated astie shops seem to basically shove anything into a bit of pastry and think it's okay to charge £4.00 for 200g of wheat). It doesn't help that Ginsters'sss's'' are overtaking a lot of places, and Ginsters are bloody horrible. Most supermarket own brands are nicer.
