Guly's Joint Gaff - The Off-Topic Chat Thread

I just bought it. £11 was too tempting.

 

Tried that. Just started a 4-way network game with some mates of mine and that's not motivating me at all.

 

5 weeks of uni left

 

Yep, I finish my exams on June 5th, then I have 2 weeks of getting gazeboed, which includes my 21st

You finished your diss yet or is that coming up soon?

 

Just playing my 75% off FM14 now. Just got my ass kicked by Man City because I played Chelsea 2 days earlier. I beat Chelsea with my full strength team and then played Hooiveld, Yoshida, Guly etc against City.

 

I did one last year, on 4th year now so I had a group project but that was only in semester 1. I've got 5 reports of various types to submit and I'm done (no exams ), I could smash them out in a week or two if I was motivated. But no. You got a job yet?

 

Haven't had time to look yet. I'll get onto looking once I get my project handed in and I get a weekend at home to chill, will probably fix up a CV then. No idea where to look though

 

Just finished watching the first series of Game of Thrones. Joffrey is a complete ****.

 

unbelievably, MxPX are still going, and are touring

Yeah I guess it's not easy to sort (not that I know), depends whether you've got one big career plan or just flexible, do you know where you are going to live? That's the weird thing I haven't got over yet, I'll have to move and set up somewhere completely new again. Meh to all that.

 

I'm actually quite excited about moving out for good, strangely. Feel ready for it, coming home has started to wear off.

 

I'm completely okay with going anywhere with jobs, no matter where it is. I've already managed it once, coming over from N.I. to study in England, so I'm okay with that. Also, considering there are very few engineering jobs going at home, it looks like my hand may be forced somewhat.

I'm also the same as Dan, kinda. I love going home, but then I'm not exactly a big fan of Ballymena (my hometown), and these days going home is more to just get out of the bubble that is Loughborough. I'm not as fussed about going home as I used to. For example, I've spent the entire Easter holidays at Uni to finish my diss because I knew I wouldn't get it done at home.

 

I don't think I could ever bring myself to move out of the south-east. London 25 minutes away, St Albans 5 minutes away, all my friends and family here. It'd have to take a hell of a job offer to move me away from here.

 

I'm tempted to do a big major move far away (and actually kind of most of the way through planning it but ssh). Could do with a kick up the arse to stop me from staying at home and being a lazy prick, but I'd have to move anyway - no jobs in my ****ty little village. I've got friends all over the country rather than mostly in one area so I've no problem with just uprooting... we'll see how it goes but I doubt I'll be a southern boy much longer.

 

So I've now enrolled in Hogwarts, in what is the second geekiest thing I've ever done.

Not even to America?

 

Ooo a man with a plan. I don't plan ****. Things just happen and I go along with them.

What's the first geekiest? Because that's gonna take some beating.

And no, especially not to America. If I was going to leave the country I'd go somewhere interesting and experience a completely different culture, perhaps doing something meaningful to help the less-fortunate, rather than go and live in UK 2.0: now with guns and bigger burgers.

 

That's basically what I'm doing. Was offered the chance to move in with a friend in a far away place and decided to take it, now going to see how that goes when I get there. Should be fun, or maybe I'll die, who knows!

Also speaking of bigger burgers, the cafe across the road from me (I can see it from my window when I'm at uni) has announced this Man vs Food-esque food challenge has gone onto their menu...

That looks very New York-y, whatever it is. No way can anyone finish that.

Where's this far away place, then?

 

It costs £20 but you get it free if you finish it in half an hour. So, it costs £20. It also looks like ****.

Providing nothing comes up I'll be moving to sunny Glasgow. Can't be too sure yet but it's looking on track.

 

Dayum, that's a hell of a move. Sounds like Saints might be losing a regular attendee! I'm sure you won't get stabbed, man, I believe in you.
