Personality Test

I don’t often do them, but this personality test seemed to be pretty accurate.

Vote of confidence

Hi Matt!
Marcus says:
All’s well… and yourself?
Marcus says:
Still at Soton?
Maffewssun says:
Yep.
Marcus says:
Still studying?
Maffewssun says:
Yep!
Maffewssun says:
Hopefully finish my PhD by the end of September. Go and find a real job!
Maffewssun says:
Marcus says:
I should rephrase that… still a student? Didn’t mean to imply that you were actually doing any work. My apologies.

And that on the back of my brother earlier in the week staring me in the face and saying words to the effect of:

I’m sorry, but I still don’t believe that you’re doing a PhD

Do I just project laziness? Why does everyone think I never get off my fat arse? Maybe next time I should remind them that I recently got asked to peer review a chapter in someone’s book, and that in about 6 months, I’m going to make them call me Dr. Just for the hell of it.

From today’s Dilbert

Makes sense to me.

Duh. What.

This is a nonsense. You must do this to continue. Would you like to continue?

Given that you’ve opened the program because you want to use it, asking if you want to continue is alsmost as irritating as the

“You pressed close, are you sure you want to close?
[yes]
“Double sure?”
[yes]
“Defo sure? You’re not taking the piss?”
[yes I'm fucking sure, just fucking close].

messages.

Of course the irony of the whole thing is actually you don’t have to install the update at all. Just hit No, and then try to sign in again. Assuming you don’t want the newest version of MSN, that is (I don’t as yet, because I need to check if it’s compatible with MsgPlus.)

Random local

“Alright Bob*”
“Hello Matt.”
“You alright?”
“Yeh mate. You?”
“Yeh, not bad at all.”
“Good good.”
“Listen Bob, I just wanted to ask, that woman you came in with, that’s your ex-wife is it?”
“Yeh.”
“Ah right. Is she a little bit, you know, a bit, sort of, well a bit of a dinger?”
“You mean on drugs?”
“No, I just mean is she mad?”
“Why do you say that?”
“Just cos, she doesn’t look like she’s playing with a full deck of cards, if you know what I mean.”
“Well yeh, she’s a bit mental I s’pose. Been mates though for 10 years, since we divorced.”
“Ah right.”
“Yeh she’s OK. Fucking ace shag. You can have a go if you want?”

CBR600FX Stainless Steel Downpipes

Does no-one make the bastard things? I’m on the hunt for a replacement exhaust system for my Honda CBR600FX (1999 with the ally frame) and I can’t find one anywhere. So if you know anything, get in touch. Spank you.

London Underground

Regardless of whether you use it or not, you must listen to the London Underground file – guaranteed to put a smile on even the moodiest of faces.
