Just been laughing at some of the quotes from Monkey Island...
Guybrush: How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Carpenter: A woodchuck would chuck no amount of wood since a woodchuck can’t chuck wood.
Guybrush: But if a woodchuck could chuck and would chuck some amount of wood, what amount of wood would a woodchuck chuck?
Carpenter: Even if a woodchuck could chuck wood and even if a woodchuck would chuck wood, should a woodchuck chuck wood?
Guybrush: A woodchuck should chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood, as long as a woodchuck would chuck wood.
Carpenter: Oh shut up.New Debt Journey: Pay off £19,622.91 by 30th April 2015 :T
Debt at Highest: £43,073 :eek:0 -
And more...
Meathook: You've got a real attitude problem!
Guybrush: Well...you've got a real hair problem!
Meathook: You just don't know when to quit, do you?
Guybrush: Neither did your barber
Guybrush: I’m looking for 30 dead guys and one woman.
Cannibal: I don’t think I want to hear any more about it.
Sorry, I'll stop now...!

muppets thats atrocious! I hope it hasn't put a real downer on your new job. Though it would drive me completely nuts walking round knowing someone there had actually been in my bag and pinched something :mad: :mad: Is there anywhere you can lock your bag? Even if it means leaving it in your car boot if your car is in a secure place. I know you probably don't want to "cause trouble" as you've just started there but I would definitely report it. Stealing makes me really mad :mad::j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j
In 100 days since this challenge started we have paid off a massive £230,684!!!
Wow that's awesome! :joooh I like the Caribbean idea, we could all dress up as pirates and drink rum!!!
Now THAT sounds like a party!
Arrrrrrrr! _party_ 0 -
I am rubber, you are glue - what bounces off me sticks to you!!
I bloody LOVE Monkey Island!! (and typing using this keyboard is getting worse!)
Feeling less glum now - I should know by this time next week whether I got the job or not - it's the same thing I'm doing now just somewhere else, so it's not like I'm particularly missing out if I stay where I am - it's just pants so I'd rather not!!:rotfl:
Had an M&S dine in meal for tea again - I can't feel guilty about us both having something so yummy as a treat for a tenner - and OH cooked it AND there's trifle leftover for me to nom while he's at work tomorrow
Should be able to CLEAR my debts in 121 minutes :dance::dance::dance:0 -
Awww muppets that's awful
What a sad way to end your first day - it'll be horrible knowing someone you work with would do that

I'M A MIGHTY PIRATE!
As for the paying off debt :dance::dance::dance::dance::dance: I think that's cheating. You'd better stick around!0 -
Haha it's taken me a year longer than the rest of you anyway - I was at this whole paying stuff off malarkey 12 months ago - if it wasn't for a "blip" around Oct/Nov time I might have been done by now...
But yes I'll still be here lurking at least

Guybrush: I’m so sick of you guys and your rhyming.
Haggis, Van Helgen and Cuthroat Bill:
We’re ready to set sail, ’though the cannons need a priming.
We’re thievin’ balladeers,
A gang of cut-throat mugs,
To fight us off, you won't need guns,
Just jolly good earplugs!
A pirate I was meant to be,
Trim the sail and roam the sea…
Guybrush:
You say you’re fearsome pirates
Scheming, thieving, bad bushwackers
From what I’ve seen I’ll tell you
You’re not pirates, you’re just slackers!
Haggis, Van Helgen and Cuthroat Bill:
A pirate I was meant to be,
Trim the sail and roam the sea…
Guybrush: We’ll surely avoid scurvy if we all eat an orange…
Haggis, Van Helgen and Cut Throat Bill And… umm… well… er…
Cutthroat Bill: Door hinge?
Van Helgen: No. No.
Cutthroat Bill: Ah well, guess the song’s over then.
Haggis: Guess so.
Van Helgen: Okay, back to work.
Guybrush: Gee, I feel a little guilty now.0
