OH LIMEY!
How's things at your chestier end?
(I helped save b3ta! Jam Master Geordie Hero of B3ta., Thu 7 May 2009, 19:49, archived)
Stressful.
Three weeks til I finish uni and I'm stressing.
(I helped save b3ta! LimeyTreat Bitch. Lover. Child. Mother. Sinner. Saint., Thu 7 May 2009, 19:51, archived)
Do you have somewhere to live in 3 weeks? A job lined up?
Any inclination of your mark?...

Me either :(

You could just crawl back to your parents' house, claim dole and mope about your room.
Then, if the government's new scheme comes in, they'll create a job for you after 12 months.

What's this?
How can they "create" a job out of nowhere?
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 7 May 2009, 19:58, archived)
It's a job or a training place.

(I helped save b3ta! Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Thu 7 May 2009, 20:00, archived)
Oh.
They sent me to "training places". They were about as much use as a fridge in the Antarctic.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:01, archived)
A fridge would be useful in the Antarctic if you wanted to store something at between 0 and 5 degrees Celsius mind

(I helped save b3ta! mns 2️⃣2️⃣9️⃣0️⃣7️⃣, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:03, archived)
no it wouldn't.
you'd have to run the pump backwards, and it would struggle to maintain anything like that kind of temperature gradient. And that's if the exchange fluid doesn't just freeze.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:05, archived)
Unless of course it was inside a heated building.
Like most fridges in the world are
(I helped save b3ta! mns 2️⃣2️⃣9️⃣0️⃣7️⃣, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:21, archived)
but it wouldn't be,
because it would be in the Antarctic. Like I said.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:26, archived)
Maybe in your hypothetical scenario
But not in mine
(I helped save b3ta! mns 2️⃣2️⃣9️⃣0️⃣7️⃣, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:44, archived)
My metaphor,
my hypothetical scenario.
Jeez, I should have said chocolate fireguard, that would have attracted less criticism, despite the fact it has one very obvious use.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:46, archived)
You could use the heat exchanger
as a source of warmth. Having plugged it in to one of those Antarctic plugs.
(I helped save b3ta! Flapjack I spay a little mare for you, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:03, archived)
Only if it were somewhere warm, of course. Inside, maybe.
With the plugs.
(I helped save b3ta! Flapjack I spay a little mare for you, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:04, archived)
or an air-conditioning unit where the outlet exhausts into the same room it's supposed to be cooling.

(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:03, archived)
Training places aren't meant to be useful.
They're meant to look like somebody somewhere is doing something useful.
(I helped save b3ta! Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Thu 7 May 2009, 20:06, archived)
they're meant to get you off benefits for 13 weeks,
so it looks like nobody has been on them for more than however long they like, but the money still comes from the same place, only under a different budget.

EXCEPT they still kept me on 10p of JSA a week, otherwise I'd have lost my housing benefit and free prescriptions, so it's all completely pointless anyway.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:08, archived)
This is what I thought.
It was on the news a week or two ago, and they offered no explanation.
(I helped save b3ta! The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:00, archived)
I don't want to do that.

(I helped save b3ta! Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Thu 7 May 2009, 20:02, archived)
best get a job then.

(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:09, archived)
Yeah
but I'm applying for scholarships first.
(I helped save b3ta! Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Thu 7 May 2009, 20:09, archived)
MSc or PhD?
They're usually desperate for people to do postgrad stuff, the money burns a hole in their pockets.
(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:10, archived)
Ph.D
Here if I can.

The topic I want to do is done Bristol, Here, Glasgow and Southampton, as well as amsterdam and some places in germany.
(I helped save b3ta! Master Of Turnips. Only gays and morons believe in ghosts., Thu 7 May 2009, 20:14, archived)
In the flat what my godfather bought me, working in PR til I decide what I want to do properly and no, no idea.
Two out of three ain't bad.
(I helped save b3ta! LimeyTreat Bitch. Lover. Child. Mother. Sinner. Saint., Thu 7 May 2009, 19:58, archived)
hahaha
welcome to an ENTIRE LIFE of working in PR. That's how careers go.
(I helped save b3ta! Flapjack I spay a little mare for you, Thu 7 May 2009, 19:59, archived)
Yup.

Godfathers buy their godchildren flats?
Fook, how do I offload a godson?
(I helped save b3ta! broadsword, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:00, archived)
My godparents are rubbish to me
Maybe I could hold auditions for new ones.
(I helped save b3ta! Pickle Fairy is clumsily dancing away this fear, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:02, archived)
How do I broach the subject with my godfather?

(I helped save b3ta! Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Thu 7 May 2009, 20:02, archived)
This.
Mine was handy for decent pressies over the years. Dried up since I hit 22. Disgraceful.
(I helped save b3ta! Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:04, archived)
I'm not completely sure who my godfather is.
I'm assuming that it is my godmother's husband. It was a long time ago.
(I helped save b3ta! Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Thu 7 May 2009, 20:05, archived)
Nope, not how it works.
Usually mother picks godmother, father picks godfather.
(I helped save b3ta! Esme Weatherwax I swear on my tash it's daycent hash, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:09, archived)
My Godfather is called "Drinks".

(I helped save b3ta! Moon Girl Technologies horrendous beanbag, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:13, archived)
This but it was at 18, my high school graduation.
He's fucking loaded, I wonder what I have to do to get some money.
(I helped save b3ta! Lisette von Falcon, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:07, archived)
Marry him.

(I helped save b3ta! Neptune A dole queue dosser and foul mouthed chav., Thu 7 May 2009, 20:07, archived)
He is married. He's got three daughters. They're all old enough to be my mum.

(I helped save b3ta! Lisette von Falcon, Thu 7 May 2009, 20:15, archived)
Chin up pet!
Only three weeks.
Plenty of weeks to fuck about in afterwards.

I really should start giving speeches at universities.
I'm quite the encourager of people.
