(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rofl.gif) you're not missing out on anything special, Solari-I have it, but it's abit pointless really-it's a good way of keeping up with my cousins who live in Liverpool as I can see family photos etc. but beyond that, it's a tad pointless and time-consuming-yet there's nothing to do on it!


I noticed that I typo'd "timesink" into "timeskink"... Is that some sort of time-travelling lizard? Perhaps we'll see one in Dr.Who at some point! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)


I did actually notice that, but figured it was some sort of weird technical jargon I didn't understand (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Who ever said British workmen never turn up on time and are always late??!
They said they would turn up at 8am today and they all turned up at 6.45am!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif)
I'd just got out of the shower and hadn't even started getting ready for work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif)
Well I'm not complaining...I'd rather them come early than late!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
I'll just have to make sure I wake up REALLY early for the next few days!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

My thoughts precisely! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

We had a professor of Computer Science whose surname was 'Niblett', which sounded appropriate for some or other computer component! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It's also annoying when you get talking to people on a night out and they say "I'll give you a shout, are you on Facebook?" - what's wrong with a phone call or a text... or am I just a neo-luddite?

Say "No. Send me a letter".

Haha! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rofl.gif) Would that be by carrier pigeon?

I wouldn't go that far, hence the term "neo-luddite". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) I embrace technology, I just don't feel that some of it is necessary, or even beneficial. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) *sigh*

Yes, they are an acquired taste and probably a few calories more than the satsuma I mentioned.

I wonder which one won? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

Do ants go to sleep? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)



I merely ask because, when I returned from my food-shopping, there were just a few ants milliing around my door-step and I wondered whether the rest were having a lie-in? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/rofl.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rofl.gif) "borrow" one for a day or two and see if it does or not? (You can put it back afterwards, obviously (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) )

I've just received an email telling me that my reserve place at Birmingham Conservatoire has become guaranteed, but in the intervening time between auditioning and now, I've become less and less whether a conservatoire or a university is more right for me... this is going to be a hard decision (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

I'll take one to school with me on Monday and see if it nods off during exam invigilation! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Well done. No matter what you decide that's a brilliant accomplishment. Good luck with your decision making!

Great news, Devil_Fiddler! It may be a hard decision, but it's nice to have to make a decision rather than having no option.

Make sure you think through the pros and cons very carefully, and don't be afraid to ask the advice of those you trust. Then imagine yourself at conservatoire - what it would be like, whether you would regret not going to uni, etc. Then imagine yourself at a university. I think your heart will tell you what feels right.

Best of luck with your decision! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
