what are you doing that removes you from the relative comfort of your desk?

Opening my pension!
:D
I can't believe that. A student with a pension. Fuckin' ridiculous. I don't WANT to live long enough to require one!

why on earth are you starting a pension now?
you'll need all the spare money you can get
( Vipros. clever got me this far, then tricky got me in, Wed 9 Sep 2009, 9:17, Reply)

My aunt gave me a 21st birthday present early
Which was a cheque to start my pension with.

I'm sure I'll thank her one day.

My dad is fierce on the subject of starting your pension as early as possible
Money saved at 20 is worth twice as much as if it were saved at 35.

Right so I'm a graduate
Now aged 24. Tell me internet how much I should be putting into a pension!? I don't have one!!!!!!! I don't even save!

Hmmm...
I think most people tend to put in about £100ish a month... well, from what other people have told me! I am 25 and my company pension is being held for a year because of the recession, but I think I have about £500 in it! Hahahaha

( whenanimalsattackhumans clad in global hypercolour, Wed 9 Sep 2009, 11:16, Reply)

Exactly
I want a guarantee that I am going to live to benefit from my pension first. If I am sure I'll live that long then I'll start properly saving.

It's this sort of attitude
That will cause your over-burdened grandchildren to smother you with a pillow.
( The Light in Chains don't touch the Pope's boner, Wed 9 Sep 2009, 11:27, Reply)

Meh
If they smother me it won't be because of that. They'll probably smother me for being a cantankerous old windbag. I'm going to be an evil old person, running around force-feeding everyone mints and hitting the young with a stick and generally saying what’s on my mind.

I've not got a job, y'see.
It's gone into the ISA and will be paid in as soon as I'm eligible.

HSBC will let you open a pension if you have no job.
You just have to be able to afford a regular contribution, which may not help you. :)

I'm hotdesking today
So I'm playing 'receptionist' for the morning, 'records assistant' for about 2 hours after lunch and then 'marketing assistant' for the remainder of the day! I feel like Eliza Dushku in Dollhouse, but I’ve been programmed to do really shit jobs! Ho-hum.
(Flim-Flam the Magnificent "You is talking loco and I like it!", Wed 9 Sep 2009, 10:13, Reply)

I've watched the first 5 or so episodes of Doll house
I don't know if I like it or,
really fucking hate it.
(PsychoChomp, Wed 9 Sep 2009, 10:29, Reply)

Haha
You are not alone with this opinion. I have probably seen about 4 episodes and am not sure about it! I was drawn to watch it as I liked Eliza Dushku in other things, like I was a big fan of Tru Calling until it was cancelled.

I read the book in a day
I'm a fast reader, but it's undemanding and easy to read. And amazingly twisted.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Wed 9 Sep 2009, 11:35, Reply)

The film's excellent.
The book has one of the best lines I've EVER read in children's literature.

"I swear it on my mother's grave."
"And does your mother have a grave?"
"Why yes, I put her there myself, and when I caught her trying to get out, I put her back in."
