RE: Whats made you happy today?
Got a new laptop today, just a basic thing from Tesco...1.7ghz dual core processor, 1TB HDD, decent graphics for 260 quid, as long as I can play football manager and train simulator I am happy, though the spec is the bare minimum for Train Sim Big Grin

You might struggle with both on that. Football Manager especially relies heavily on processing power. It'll work like, but it'll be very slow. How much RAM?

Finished all of my university coursework for the year. Time to start revising for exams  Angel . Feels good that I won't have to do another coursework assignment for a year and a half due to being on placement next year.

Well got my laptop now...

While it is the bare minimum for the games I want to play...

After 4 years of Football Manager Handheld on Android, I wanted to get back into the PC Game...There is only so much editing you can do on FMH and now I am back on FM, the editing possibilities are nigh on endless...

Now, I'm touting for work lol, if there many FM 15 players on here, if you want a custom database creating, I will do it...

Custom Leagues and Competitions

Back on FM 2O12, I come up with all kinds of different leagues and competitions, I recreated some long gone competitions and created new and different ones as well...

I am the Adam Malarkey of Football Manager Editing...It may look absurd(No Offence Adam), but it is plain enough to he puts a lot of thought into and seems to enjoy whatever in that brain of his...Big Grin

So as I said, if anyone plays the game and wants a challenge I will try to give you one(Not what you think, ya dirty minded bar stewards)

Also the fact that, although the WiFi was working, the boy from "the family" (see annoying) couldn't figure out how to use it, just punishment I think for the constant annoyance.

Great news mate! Congratulations. 
RE: Whats made you happy today?
Got myself rather stressed out yesterday evening as Adecco wanted me to do a Food Allergen test, and I know bot all about allergies in various foods, anyway went into Adecco in Durham this morning, explained I hadnt done it, still a bit stressed and feeling rather tired due to a lack of sleep as it was on my mind.

I sat down with the Advisor called Amy, lovely lass, dead canny and easy to talk to, bit weird as I sometimes feel uncomfortable talking and interacting with people I dont know, anyway I felt more relaxed as we got talking about my work exp and hobbies and interests etc, which led to me explaining that I had an interest in Buses/Transport, she then responded by saying her other half was a Bus Driver for Go North East working out of Chester le Street Depot, more we talked the more relaxed I got, nerves and stress aside I jumped in head first and did the test, piece of piss I passed it, then I was told I had to do other Modules which included Health & Safety, Fire Safety, Display Screen Equipment, Manual Handling and Food Safety.

After 2 and a half hours which flew by I passed all the other Modules, and only got 3 or 4 Questions incorrect out of something like 40 Questions spread across all Modules, well chuffed with myself and it means I can start working at Durham Cricket Ground on Friday, on top of that I yet another interview lined up working in a Bar, but as I missed the call this morning and forgot to phone back, I will have to do that tomorrow to find out where it is at as I think it is a Full Time role.

Safe to say things are finally starting to look up for me after being stuck in a rut for the last few years since I left college, about time as well is what I say.

Well today is my last day of 7 in a row at work... 4 days (long weekend) off start at 1913 Wink
I'm actually doing something with my time off too as I've got a night away booked - spending tomorrow sampling Arriva Yorkshire's Sapphire and MAX offerings, as well as the Flying Tigers which I've not used since they got their new buses! Saturday I'm roped into playing tour guide for Kuyoyo round the Peak District, I enjoy it down there far too much!

Hardly roped you into the trip Tongue 
RE: Whats made you happy today?
I had a right laugh in ICT today with my mate Soup (He isn't really called Soup, he's called Tommy. I won't go into details), Anyway, he reckons his mother is an ambulance driver and a paramedic (She cannot drive), his farther is a policeman (He's previously been convicted) and his step father is a fireman (This bit is true)!!!

I want to know why he is called Soup now you mentioned it...

Sounds like my mate Pedro(lovely lad), he has learning disabilities and is one of the funniest people you could meet, some of the stuff he would come out with was great, at one point he was a UEFA Certified Football Coach on his way to the top in the Royal Navy Reserves amd reckoned he was going to become Alan Pardew's right hand man at Newcastle, maybe he should have done, Pedro would do a better job than John Carver is now.

When pressed about his coaching badges, he said he got it from the Shildon FA, then Sunderland FA...He had no idea of County FAs...

It got to the point where he figured out he could wind me up by talking shite, he started to do it on purpose to piss me off

I have a mate like that.
Shares the exact same name as one of the insiders on here! Even though it isn't the same person.

Sure the serial liars do it on purpose for the laughs. Mine does anyway.
I won't share the stories.

My pal does it because he tries hard to be liked...

Possibly the reason my mate did it initially.

It's comedy gold these days.

Basically, he reckons he has dentures and all he can eat is soup and pot noodles. It became an ongoing joke and it just stuck

My Megabus turned up a nice B12B instead of a B9R Smile K16CRT
And better yet, the main M12 today is one of the ex-Glasgow/Oxford Astromegas that haven't been repainted yet Big Grin
