That was my understanding from talking to people as well, but just needed to double-check as was fairly flabbergasted by the idea. What an absolutely dumbass system.
In academia it seems to essentially mean that the people who end up outperforming and feel underpaid will jump ship for appointment in another job at a more justified place on the scale, while the department is left with the overpaid useless workers.
Of course the fact that it took you this long to understand the increments system and it's impact on staff quality and your future income stream is also a little scary if I'm honest.......‘IF YOU had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.” Genghis Khan

Carla Bruni does have the advantage of a huge back catalogue of glamour shots that can be wheeled out as evidence.
A fairer competition would be to seperate those who were with the guy before he became a powerful politician from those like Bruni and Mrs Berlusconi who only appeared on the scene when the man became El Leader.

So something strange has happened to me. I went out on Friday for a few drinks, had to go to a couple of parties, was planning on taking it easy but ended up having 10 pints or so and getting home at 4. Was up at 12.00 on Saturday to go to a wedding, in pieces, had to have a pint before the church just to settle things down. Drank solidly all day, approx 12 pints, 2-3 bottles of wine, champagne, jaggerbombs, shots etc. Got home at about 6.30.
Woke up around 9.30 yesterday morning, felt fine. At first I thought I must be still drunk. Played squash at 11.00, went for lunch and a walk in the park and then spent the rest of the day catching up on some tv/films, just waiting for the hangover to hit. It never came, and I really need an explanation as to why I have suddenly become immune to hangovers."I believe the target of anything in life should be to do it so well that it becomes art. You read a book and the writer touches something in you that you would not have brought out of yourself. He makes you discover something interesting in your life. If you are living like an animal, what is the point? What makes the day interesting is that we try to transform it into something that is close to art." - Arsene Wenger

Have you read any other of Hawks work, One Hit Wonderland or Playing the Moldovans at Tennis?

but neither of these would classify as sessions worthy of a hangover imo
actually sounds like a normal mid week relaxing drink to me

I tried downloading without jdownloader manually and it works.Originally posted by ArmaniJeansI like this heat - some proper music innit.
None of the 'black disabled lesbian warbling backwards' stuff that the other players inflicted on me.

Originally posted by shrapnel View Postthere's an easy fix to this. you need to access your rapidshare account, go into your settings and tick a certain box (I can't remember what it's called and i'm in work so can't access rapidshare), but if you post them up, i'll tell you which one to tick. There are only 2 or 3 anyway, so it's pretty obvious the one you need to tick.
Is this the box ? This the one you had to check Kev ?

It also seems most uploaders have veared away from RS since the crap that happened during the summer, everything available on HF.This too shall pass.

Took a picture of a Garda Traffic Corps car parked on double yellow lines earlier with the camera on my phone, pity I can't upload or transfer anything from my shit phone.
Considered calling the Garda Confidential number plastered across the car but figured I'd just get through to some gimp who would shrug his shoulders.

Originally posted by 5starpool View PostPrice is the same as RS was (50 quid for a year).
Rapids are lasting much longer for me this way though. My premium account was due to expire in August, and my converted rapids won't expire for a while yet. If you d/l more than 30gb per month though from RS it might not last as long though."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)

Torrents are good in general I still use them for some bits and bobs but I would think that a dedicated site like RS/MS/MU/HF etc etc are just worth the little bit of money a year for it.
700mb movie in about 5 minutes
350mb tv episode in 2 minutes
Seriously man I would try out the one month plans they do and see how it goes."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)

There is like 6 or 7 out at the moment I just havent gotten around to seeing yet and looking forward to a big catch up, did read some good things about Winters Bone on a movie site I use so looking forward to catching it, as for The Town really do think it has potential."you raise, i kill you" El Tren :{)
