had an interview today, round 2 to be exact. Down to the last 3 so it's about who they think would fit best in the team, and not really down to me anymore, but as soon as I get home, who do i get a call from but their arch rivals, wanting me to come in to meet them.
Seriously, wtf? these are CVs I sent 6 to 8 weeks ago ffs!!!
Anyway, time to use my 1 fuckin' time at this stage.
I love not working and looking after the kids tbh, but time to get back on the grind and pay for that private school...

So the one year old apple of my eye never shirks a request to wrestle These have been pretty even affairs up to now although he holds a slight lead, Today as I was drawing level in bouts he went all Mike Tyson on me and bit my ear , top and bottom teeth met arrghhhh, and I had to tickle him several times intensively under the arm to get him to release I can honestly say it was quite the shock. I knew having UFC on in the background was bad parenting. Now where does a man of my age get a suitable earring
I'm willing to adapt my look to fit the UFC types out there. I draw the line at a pouncy beard though.

I lke this Hotspur inspired redux. We need some of the oldschool back here. I suggest we get DBC back. That is, if he isn't here in some other guise. This forum needs some popcorn. I also note Sledgejammer hasn't posted in a while.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

Rolex and Patek everything else isnt really worth the effort.
Rolex: Submariner date, submariner green, GMT blue/black, steel Daytona's. They are the only decent ones that will hold their value and increase long term as second hand watches.
Patek: 5960p, 5711, 5712, 5170j, 5990A, and the holy grail 5131g or J all of these will go for big money in a year or two.
But as I said it was more a comment for dealers. But it still stands that if anyone was thinking of getting a good watch do it now before everything goes up in the next few weeks. Rolex are keeping their prices at the same level for next week at least but I enquiries about four different models today and they gave 12week delivery times for all of them.Last edited by Raekwon; 16-01-15, 18:39.

...BRAG: Interview was not a complete disaster...It actually went surprisingly well...The interview was a lot more informal than I feared, and add the fact it was casual Friday and the two women interviewing me were in normal clothes...so overall I can't argue and whether I get a second interview or not, I'm happy with how I fared...
BEAT: Suppose to have a first date tonight with a stunning looking girl, been texting for the last week and going well, but haven't heard from her since last night...so likely I'm stood up...bah, I'd swap my brag and beat in a heartbeat if possible...

Interesting to note all the Oil and Gas companies strategies to deal with the oil price glut.
Schlum cutting jobs and cap ex (share price jumped on opening this morning). Same with Suncor. Rumblings of a lot more layoffs and rigs closing.
My girlfriends brother in law is a part owner of Beaver Drilling. He has said that he doesn't think Oil will go above $95 p/b this year. He says a fair line would be $78 max at any point during the year.
Looks like some pain for Alberta, its eerily similar in debt and expenditure of the average Joe to pre 2008 Ireland.
On the other side some Calgary based companies that have nothing to do with OnG are getting significant share price cuts. Time to be bullish methinks.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

I agree though. Under on $78 is still big. He actually gave me that line as I asked him about my bet. I'd love to know what he really thinks.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

Ive given up trying to understand stuff like this but why are peak oil doomsters saying that plummeting oil prices show that they are right and it's nearly time for some good feasting?

Bet 1: He is taking the overs on $95USD p/b (Brent Crude), at ANY point before December 31st 2015. $200 at evens.
Bet 2: He is taking the overs on $75USD p/b (Brent Crude) , at ANY point before July 31st. $100 at evens.
I like where I currently. Should be a good bit of banter between us now while the clock ticks down.
Here's hoping!This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

Great kick start and you''ll just have to pick up small pieces s opposed to teaching everything.

Her computer is at risk of going out the window.
Going on 4 hours of putting stuff on etc., no problem. But I had to download her fucking Kaspersky anti virus, and for some reason when I click the .exe file it comes up that this app can't run on your PC. No fucking idea what the problem is, system requirements seem fine, no other AV on it.
