Nothing at all wrong with redheads. I'm a fan anyway.

Can someone tell me why the BBC are suddenly providing us with news updates after every single programme? Jeez, if we're that desperate to be reminded of what we learned an hour ago we can look it up online.

STOP BADGERING US WITH THIS TWADDLE.

It's like some kind of real life Weekend at Bernies?!

I hate writing essays, I have wrote more essays this semester at uni than I have in my life put together, its bloody awful considering I'm doing an Animation course. Fed up with it, just want to animate!

Doing one now on Animation for TV, discussing Family Guy, Simpsons etc and comparing it with big budget CGI films. Fun fun fun!

Did anyone see that article about the £13,000 burberry gold handbag that people are literally climbing over each other to buy? crazy , there were normal (albeit very sucessful) women in there who had preordered theirs, one had over 380 handbags, at hundreds or thousands of pounds each.

sickening really. they justified it by saying they were due a reward after so much hard work. but 13k for a handbag is literally throwing money away.

Uh no, I was pretty sure I was fired, its a months notice. I was made redundant from my last post though.

I don't get it...why a MONTH's notice? I know it's not the same but most people only give a weeks notice when they quit at our place!

Bad luck though, ****ty start for the new year!

From a conversation I was having with someone earlier; I was saying I think freckly women are cute/sexy, said friend disagreed. It also turns out a lot of people also disagree.

So, does anyone else like freckly women or it is just me?

I'm with you on this.

Tell me about it. I have so far written close to 10000 words on two essays in the last week and have another 10000 to write by next week.

At least you're writing about interesting stuff!

Would it help you guys to know I'm making an effort to write at least 10,000 words a week (and finding myself doing more like 20,000) just for fun ? well, for training to participate in the Nanowrimo 50,000 word story challenge in November. For me, after a seven year absence almost, it feels good to be writing again.

[Rossco]

Jeeeeez oh! I just hate it though, Its not what I want to do and not whats required to get into animation so why I need to do it in my course is beyond me! It is still slightly interesting stuff I write about and still useful to know sometimes but really not needed!

At least you enjoy it, 50,000 words though! Isn't that just a book!?

Woah impressive. Mind if I send you my coursework questions?

Always wanted to be a writer but since University I developed an adversity to writing (I'm sure you can understand why), which kind of make things tough. A trip to New York has straitened me up again and now flexing those writing muscles once more.
