Be Excellent To Each Other

Now imagine living 160 miles from Oxford, not 15.

Over 10 times as good, I'd have thought...

Unfortunately 'good' is the exact opposite.

10 times as doog?

Hoho!

I think that maybe I've just hit a wall. I'm piss bored of being a student now.

I'm piss bored of living oop norf, so far from so many lovely people that I miss in that lovely city, in a house that's empty and cold again, even though I've just spent an evening in the company of some great people. So I feel your pain.

INTERNET HUG!

I'm watching motorbike racing and drinking warm becks now.

INTerNeT HUG back.

I was going to show sympathy to Bik, but that's even worse

At least I was drinking cold Staropramen, albeit from what I suspect were inadequately cleaned pipes.

Heh, beers were good earlier, waitress was fit so I launched a Defcon 2 charm assault.

I am drinking Green Goblin cider which is very pleasant and cold.

Anyone need a bank closing? I'm half serious.


My current account back home is with Alliance and Leicester. Remember how they were so shit they had to get bought out by Santander?

My company's bank accounts are with Abbey. Who were so shit they got bought out by Santander.

Over here in Ireland, obviously I need some kind of current account. I got one with Postbank - the Irish Post Office. Very basic, but it sufficed for a few months.

But I needed a bit more, including the capability of transferring to/from the UK. Three weeks ago, on a Saturday, I went into the local Tallaght branch of the Halifax and opened an account. On the Monday, at 8am, Halifax announced they were closing all their retail banking in Ireland.

Fine, no worries, I'll shop around and keep using Postbank. Muhahaha...think again, Mikey!

I am pissed off and bored too.... have felt this way for a few days now..

Morning. I woke up in agony. Last night my shoulder began hurting. Today I can't move my left arm. Typing is hard.

Hope every one is having a better day than me.

Twitter is shit. Also, why would you get annoyed about someone saying good morning? It's one post in a deep sea of posts in this thread.

Kovacs can say he's pissed off bored or depressed but I have to join Twitter to say good morning? I don't get it.

One of my friends has just text me saying how bored he is at the moment.. Seems like there's a bit of it going around!

I hope it's not serious!

I don't get Twitter either JC.

It's Wednesday. Of course we're bored.

Still, almost the weekend. Ish.

Only boring people get bored!

I don't mind Wednesdays.. someone at work has lent me the God of War collection too so that's something to look forward to this evening (or whenever I get bored of Sonic and Sega All Star Racing with Banjo & Kazooie... To give it it's full title)

My old headmaster at school used to say this quite a lot. How ironic that he was himself, very boring!

I'm not bored. I'm fucking busy!

... is what I'm just about to type into http://www.twitter.com

Are you calling me boring!? Or a Headmaster?!

Same reason you get annoyed at people saying http://www.twitter.com, I guess.

My old headmaster.

I wouldn't dream of calling you boring.. you only have to check out your avatar to know you're not!

Don't drag me into it... plus I did it on http://www.twitter.com

(didn't think this was worth a new topic but hope the right people read it)

Does anyone else here use a corporate domain version of Google Mail? Yes, ok, good. Do any af you know the settings for getting it working through a smartphone email client? Or where I could get them from? In this time of hi-tech, I still have to jump on a PC to check my work email and with my workday now including a quarter mile walk between buildings 10 times a day, I could do with some portability.

Ta.

Yes. You need to expand upon "Do any af you know the settings for getting it working through a smartphone email client?"
What smartphone?
Do you essentially want to know how to connect via IMAP?
Read this: http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answ ... swer=75726

I use our corporate Gmail through my iPhone, but I'm buggered if I can remember whether I set it up through the Gmail account option or an Exchange server. Also, I haven't a glue for the G1 (if that's what you've got? I can't remember)

It's a Nokia 5800. I'm looking at that IMAP instruction now. Ta, Grim and Mallowbar.

HEY! It's working.

Ta again, chaps

So I should start a good morning thread?

Melancholy morning and a miserable vapid afternoon.

Or a good morning forum?

JCsaysgoodmorning.com?

I love your little sig icons Grim... Are they from anywhere or did you make them yourself?

If only there were some sort of micro-blogging device where JC could say "good morning" and all the people that cared would see it and reply?

http://icondock.com/free/vector-social-media-icons I sent Grim... the link yesterday.

See how Gaywood has ripped off my signature.

http://www.plurk.com/ ?

How about a forum where people were excellent to eachother?

You set it up, then. But I think that URL is taken.

Funny, I could have sworn I typed http://www.grumpyoldsods.com into my browser.

I don't think the grumpiness comes from the sentiments behind your wishing people good morning John, rather the fact that it makes the content of the posts exactly the same every time, and as such isn't really adding anything that people find interesting to read.

I think it's nice. But then again, what the fuck do I know.

Zardoz can get a too. I love Mini-gaywoods hat!

Can we bring back post of the week for one week only?

I think we have a winner.

Unfortunately the grumpy sods who do everything are busy being grumpy.
