Cheers man, actually looks like this will help me out a lot, just download a copy of the way the harvard reference system cites and should be good.

I did that initially, then found it was just easier to throw the references into CiteThisForMe, let it do the references and proof read them myself. That way, I could concentrate on the assignment, and worry about the citations later.

And, for the love of gawd, remember the #1 rule of Harvard, that EVERYONE forgets: ALPHABETICALLY. List them alphabetically!!!!

Why is this guy not getting a raise but instead losing his job?

It sounds like he quit, and decided "**** IT, Ima do the world one last favour".

7-5:10 and no time for study and hates his job. One of the hardest mean to please is Cruyff14

A job that involves 0 overtime or 0 care once you get home is the perfect job to incorporate with study. Even if you hate the job it's giving you the time to better your chances for a better job.

I'm 7-7 most days 7-6:30 on a good day. I'd love to do a masters in something or maybe a CFA but I really cbf by the time I get home plus I quite often am doing bits and pieces when I am home

After speaking about passions and stuff the other day I've put a bunch of effort into promoting my hull podcast and managed to get it up on iTunes.

Jurassic Park is on. Yes!

Jurassic Park is on. Yes!

With the amount of TV you watch I have no idea how you don't have the time to do an online course..!

 

[jod23]

Jurassic Park is on. Yes!

It's such a classic.

Lost World and JP3 were ok. Jurassic World very good but nothing beats the original. The special effects for what...1994?? were spectaular.

Particularly the scene when the T-Rex breaks through the gate.

I don't watch that much TV, and I sure as hell wouldn't be doing study on a Saturday night!

Man, what a film! One of the highest grossing films of all time.

Spielberg TOOK HOME $250m from Jurassic Park!

It’s not the TV viewing. The almost endless amount of footballers (auto)biographies. There’s your time consuming activity, that and scrabble of course.

What about Saturday morning? Weren't you watching Narcos?

Guess I'm just making the point that if you want to complain about the struggles of getting a better job/pay raise but aren't taking advantage of the time you have to improve then there's not much to complain about.

Erm, I read them on the train to and from work.

Nothing wrong with that

So why mention them to begin with?

Oldies sometimes have a point about us wanting the world given to them

As an opening for a scrabble reference. Maybe a few emojis were needed to signify it being a pisstake.

Am way behind the discussion here, moved house during the week so am just catching up now.

Re: Kevin Spacey. Was always a fan but this kind of shit changes the way you look at them. Like Bill Cosby, whenever I see his work now I will be immediately reminded of that. Who knows who will be next, there's a lot of dark secrets in Hollywood and it finally seems the veil is being uncovered.

Michael Richards is another example of one I can never look at the same way. Seinfeld remains one of my favourites, it's what got me into the Yankees. What drew me to New York. But whenever I see him now, I can't help but thinking about his racist rant a few years ago when he had that meltdown on stage.

The bigger problem with Seinfeld is Bannon being the money behind it.

Who knows the true amount of what he made from it, it's in the tens of millions supposedly. Amazing.

Don't do this. Don't ruin Seinfeld for me forever.

Where am I?

Also, who cares who was behind Seinfeld financially? Very few financiers anywhere are pure of heart. No reason to judge the creative process.

Pretty much everything from Hollywood will be tainted soon.
