Yeah too late for that now It's alright, December pay day is going to cushion my credit card after that weekend is over, still got 2 Christmas presents to buy!

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Also double room? 0_o what sort of company were you planning on?

Better to have a double bed and not use it, than not have a double bed and need it

In truth they had no singles left... still £30 cheaper than premiere inn's SINGLE room!

I guess i'll sleep in the shower then

I can share, I usually stick the sofa pillow the room has between me and the unfortunate man I have to share with to prevent either party attempting to spoon at midnight.

depends how smashed i get. we shall see

I have to check out by 12 midday on Sunday, so I'm going to have to wake up no matter how awful I feel and then slither to some place for lunch.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

to bad you cant leave late sunday

to bad you cant leave late sunday

Train isn't til 4pm so we can carry on drinking if you're man enough.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

we will see how it goes, certainly have a last drink before you board the train.

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Well I went out for drinks and came home with 4 boxes of these....

I needed cash so we stopped off at the nearest ATM which was by sainsburys. I was hungry so i went in and grabbed some cookies. by the time we got back to the car I had already forgotten about the cookies and just ate a packet of crisps. while sipping some relentless.

I never realised that the camera on my S3 could be so good.....


Secondly... the old Athlon X2 3800+ that i gave my dad back in 2008 has just kicked the bucket. Mobo died and finding a Asus A8n32 SLi Deluxe is almost impossible if not short of retarded given the price people are charging for secondhand goods.

Im a little sad as it was one of the fastest manchester core'd CPUs in Guru3D mega cpu database back in the day - It was just some database that a few guys set up to document max overclocks. Obviously the Toledo core managed to top me by 100-300mhz and a Brisbane managed to top all of us but I still had the fastest manchester processor in the west.

Dads still a little antsy about getting a new PC though but better to put £60-90 towards a new build then a secondhand A8N32 SLi Deluxe just so you prolong its suffering...

OMG delicious I miss those cookies

I used to live within 10 mins (walk) of South Ken "big Sains", delicious food :<

 

[RCoon]

Maryland do some beastly liquid chocolate filled nutty cookies, a pack of which I bought last night. This only makes me hungry, and the fact my office is 20 yards away from the students cooking room is making things worse. I can smell some glorious things being cooked.

Use your power as a superior and rob them of their food! (Student's food might not be the best idea, since you never know what they put in).

Whenever we are offered food we thank them and express our congratulations, but then swiftly slip any items of food into the bin in case of poisoning. Sure it's a grammar school, but you can't teach kids common sense.

 

[Tatty_Two]

At least it's a double room. Also I'll have 4 hours to kill between checkout time and the train home.


Typical Central London hotel costs. I got a Travelodge in Worcester for less than half that price.

What were you doing in Worcester without my permission?

 

[RCoon]

What were you doing in Worcester without my permission?

Learning how to break Windows 7 so it works properly in a school environment. Also took a trip to that club you call Mode, which turned out to be awful. You have some excellent real ale pubs however, and one particular one that makes many of its own ciders. Was a great place to go out drinking in friendly pubs. Tried to avoid the clubs and all the scrotes therein.

Also Tatty. WHERE IS VIDYA?!

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Check out my dads new steed

I still wonder if i could have saved a bit of money going with an AMD APU. I could have spec'd him a A8 6500 but the Haswell i3 has around the same performance if not a little faster.

 

[RCoon]

Check out my dads new steed

That's a pretty nice build, puts my file server to shame

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Yeah, the original idea was to try keep costs down with an AMD APU but even with an A-10 5800k the i3 4130 still beats it down so it was only the most logical path to take. I could have gone with a 6800k but its more expensive.

I also went with the Intel path because my dad wont allow me to OC his pc - that pretty much wraps it up. Haswell i3+ M-Atx board - gogogo


He was also very sceptical about going with an SSD but i talked him into it. He doesnt care about boot times but if he wants a machine to last another 8 years and still feel snappy, there is no better option then adding an SSD as boot to speed up apps and stuff

What kind of job will that be? I thought you already have one, or the pay is even better?

Less travel, moar money, same good work of helping the youth of today!
Also @FreedomEclipse those goddamn avatars almost make this website not safe for work, especially where I work
