    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.

    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...! :D

    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:

  • 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 :D

    Should be able to CLEAR my debts in 121 minutes :dance::dance::dance:
  • 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 :(

  • :rotfl:Monkey Island - I still have the original PC-rom version! (and I still downloaded them for my iPhone too :o) Loved them. Risdiculous as they were.

    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!
  • 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 :D
  • 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.
