Bob Skilton's Random Thoughts

I don't like the name Pebbles, call me Indigo that's my real name.

You chose ROK as your screen name, can't blame people for calling you Pebbles.

So now we have Moore, McVeigh and ROK on the board, and a gushing fan of Malceski. No love for Goodes?

 

[TheGoatBaron]

At least my name is original.

And **** off Garry Lyon, you aren't the Lone Wolf, you imposter.

 

[bedford]

I'm back. Dirty rotten virus, which coincided with Mr Wolf making me a friend !
Whats news, well i read that Stat needs a root, lets hope he warms down properly after that.
What a shit day on Sunday, kids got done by 20 goals and then i had to go to terrorist stadium to watch that crab we served up and then get back to my car which had been broken into and nothing was taken.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

I'm glad I made your day better Bedford.

These school laptops are the dumbest idea of the Rudd Government. Who the hell thought we would work on these?

 

[AG]

We had them at school. Do more harm than good because everyone just played games. Barely used them anyway, not many subjects you can use them on. Maybe English/Business subjects.

Science, no.
Maths, no.
Art, no.
Sport, no.

Only time I remember using it consistently was for English essays.

I use it for Science, History, Geography, Elective History, Drama, Commerce, English and Theory PE, so more often than not I will use it twice or more a day but all you do is go on the internet or play games.

Contrary to popular belief ROK, I'm not crazy, even though it appears that way on the surface.

And before lap tops I used to smuggle the form guide into class.

you were given the tools, you cant blame the pollies for how you use it.

I take a laptop to Uni and take all my notes on it, means there's no risk of losing a sheet of paper/notebook etc. Backed up at home and bingo, too easy.

My sister uses laptops at her school though and I can see the problem.

Though like Grim says, there are always going to be ways to distract yourself. I used to sit in 3U English testing if I could name the whole Swans list in order, play around with Best 22s, guess how many games the young guys would play for us - recall thinking Barlow would be a 150 games - and guessing quarter by quarter scores for matches.

Then you warmed yourself and the laptop down

Yes well done bedders.

Really think all the prep they're doing in introducing laptops, posting up all homework and work online is really good. It took me a little while (well, a week) to get used to the fact that almost everything at Uni is soft copy and self-managed.

I don't think I could work without my laptop. It wasn't as important in Science, Maths, etc but for Law and Arts I need the computer and internet hooked up to my veins.

I would think their comments are political, just like this one.
Julia might be bad, but imagine Abbott as PM.

Labor and Liberal are pretty much the same party tbh. It's just that one leader is less conservative than the other. Doubt much would be different if Abbott was PM especially considering the power is with the independents holding the balance of power.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Abbot is worse than Gillard.

 

[TheGoatBaron]

Why the **** did I tip Essendon for? **** me!

Oh well, at least the Bombers are gone for 2011.

You know that song 'Downtown' ? Imagine the word 'downtown' replaced by 'down down' and thats what I had to listen to for 5 hours. Coles is on crack with the advertising.

Poor Petula must be rolling in her grave.

 

[Dangas]

work is killing me

 

[TheGoatBaron]

I'll have a drink for you Dan, I'm on my first whiskey for the night.

 

[ssfc0203]

Poor Petula must be rolling in her grave.

Pretty much. It sounds horrible even when its not looping.

was just having brunch at a cafe in Willy and when I was parking my towball hit the number plate of a brand new black Audi with ski racks, so I did the right thing(looked around to make sure no one seen) and took my seat at the cafe, then saw the bloke jump in his car fully unaware, it was Steve Bracks.

Tomic into the fourth round!!

This is getting funny.

The usual unflappable somewhat intelligent yet obsessed Caboose is getting angry. Those involved in the argument stick to the facts and not go off bagging the bombers tonight as he's losing the moral high ground. Make him stick to fact than focus in on what he wrote, epically when he goes off topic and watch him explode.
