I tried replying to the post about logic gates, but it failed for some reason, no idea why. Anyway...

I actually quite liked logic gates when I did Tech. Studies at school. I got the hang of them pretty easily, although the NAND equivalents did throw me off a bit!

My own PTTGOYN - I can't get focused on revision just now and my first exam is a week tomorrow.

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

True, sadly.

Still, there's always the chance we get you lot in the playoff final.

I'd like Cowdenbeath to come up, so hopefully we'll be avoiding the play-offs. I'm rather worried about our current position, though.

They can't score last minute goals forever, just win the damn league instead, eh?

Alloa scoring in injury time...again.

Mark of champions I'm afraid guys.

Should have stayed in Cargo. The bird behind the bar blatantly had a thing for me.

It's been a year or so since I was in there, but I seem to recall all the girls behind the bar as being stunning.

Quite expensive though, IIRC.

I often sit at a table when the train is empty. Mainly because:

1) More leg room.

2) It's easier to read the paper when I can lie it flat on the table.

3) I don't give a shit what's convenient for other people. I've paid almost £12 for a pissing return ticket, I'll sit where I like, particuarly if I can get more leg room.

I looked back at a few of the pages, but shat out of the rest of it. I know I was seriously unimpressed when we signed Tadé, although I was half right in one sense; he isn't a striker.

I also remember being unimpressed when we were linked with Dougie Hill, though I seem to recall admitting I'd been unfair having seen him in the Airdrie friendly and being quite impressed with his performance.

I think it all really boils down to the fact I'd never been impressed with either of those players when they'd played against us.

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

'The fear'.

I'm completely fucked off with uni right now.

It's coursework time so that's to be expected, but I also think I've made a bit of an arse of one of my essays. Hopefully I'll scrape a semi-decent mark, but I'm not feeling good about it at the moment. If I can't, then I've a lot of making up to do in the exam which is never a good thing.

The exam timetable got announced today too - 3 exams in 4 days. Fucking braw.

Could you not raise an anonymous complaint?I'm sure your employers will appreciate why you'd not like to reveal your identity.

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

I still haven't quite finished this bloody essay and I've still to type up a bibliography and case list. I can't be arsed, I'm knackered and I want to go to bed.

Never mind though, I'm not bothered.

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

I've an essay due on Wednesday that's still 1300 words short of completion. Since my attention span with essays is comparable with that of a goldfish, I do the essay over 4 or 5 days usually. I was making good progress, but I've had an awful day today - a measly 150 words done. I'm scunnered with the damn thing right now.

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

One of the buttons has fallen off my phone. Suppose I'd better get a new one.

Have to agree about the moderation - far more relaxed than another couple of forums I read. Fantalk is the worst of them for moderation, though. Topics locked if they digress a little, no swearing (Haitch will be signing up any day now), no disguised swearing and any slightly insulting posts get edited.

Cant say i do, theres something about him that makes me feel the need to change the channel. Mark Bright is another i dislike.

Probably his unnatural attachment to that pen he's always holding. That's what irritates me, anyway.

PUT THE FUCKING THING DOWN!

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

I'm just back in from playing 7-a-side. What an utterly, utterly shite game it was.

We had supposed adults moaning and refusing to go in when it was their turn to go in goals. Absolutely ridiculous. None of us wanted to go in, so we agreed we'd take shot about after every goal. After I'd went in, we then ended up with people just not bothering. Naturally, this pissed me and the rest who'd bothered to go in goals right off. We eventually ended up changing the teams because of this shambles.

Childish wankers.

[The New Raith Rovers Thread]

Well, the good news is that what little I could see of the pitch (the covers were down over most of it) looked fine when I passed the ground in the train today.

The bad news, is that it's snowing again . I can only hope we don't get a big freeze overnight, otherwise it's safe to say that the game will be off. That would just be typical, and would also reduce the gate receipts on account of refunds quite significantly. Even if the pitch is playable, we'll still have Fife Police's nanny state squad to contend with.

Whilst watching the music channels on Friday night, 'Pretty Green Eyes' by Ultrabeat came on. I can remember when that came out, I more or less considered the video to be porn.

What a disappointment seeing it again was. Not even a nudge.

Chris may have dabbled in illegal drugs from time to time but a full litre of vodka was unheard of. Seems like this DarkBlue62 character's taking this level of mentalness to a new level. I'd stay well clear from your posts as they could have a very bad influence. Women and young children read this you know.

Anyway, I saw the hottest milf in the world this morning and she smiled at me. Sounds pathetic but it were amazing at t'time.

Being exposed to this kind of behavior concerns me. I really fear for the futures of the impressionable younger posters on here. No doubt they'll be regaling us tales of them lying in a gutter covered in spew, gibbering rubbish to passers by next weekend. I'm old enough to know better, but think of the children.

[The New Raith Rovers Thread]

And rightly so. He'd likely have been on decent wages and only played a handful of times.

No ta.

Yep, sums it up for me. McGlynn's comments in the FFP were actually quite good. It's nice to see he's realistic about our finances, as he spoke of not being prepared to damage the club for the sake of having cover. He was also correct that having players return from injury negates the need to keep Gathuessi. As I said at the time, he was a good player for us to have, but not really one whom was completely necessary. McGlynn also seems to suggest that our month of inaction didn't help the situation.

As for Amaya, I think it's very important that we keep him. He's looked a good player from what (admittedly little) I've seen from him. We can certainly do with him when Kevin Smith returns to Dundee United, that's for sure. Hopefully he'll sign.

[The New Raith Rovers Thread]

I'd guess it's Amaya looking to extend to the end of the season

It is.

And Gathuessi has indeed left the club. McGlynn says he couldn't justify keeping him given the budget we have, though he would have liked to keep him.

I didn't even have to think twice. I knew I was going as soon as the FT whistle went last night.... even though I don't really want to

Finances kinda dictate that it might not be sensible for me to go. The times on the other hand, are set up perfectly for me to get out, drive to Airdrie, get a bite to eat and go to the game.

I think I've managed to ease my mind closer to the 'no', as I've got two tutorials to do for Thursday, and I'd have no time to do them if I went. however, part of me still says 'f**k it, just wing the tutorials'.

[Things you want to share with P&B]

I've got a lecture at 4-6pm tomorrow. I dislike this lecture slot quite a bit. Though it means I can lie in my bed until 1 without missing it, it means that I generally can't be bothered doing anything when I get home. Petty, yes, but I do like to moan about insignificant things.

Unfortunately, we also have a cup replay tomorrow, and I'm getting a strong urge to take the car and go to Airdrie after my lecture. I really, really don't want to go, but it's playing on mind.

[Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...]

I used to get a fair bit of the old "aw, what you daen?" or "hae a proper drink" if I had a bottle of water towards the end of the night. It was only to rehydrate me, or sober a bit and I couldn't really understand what was wrong with that.

I got my own back earlier last year when one of the guys who'd previously slated me for having a bottle of water was sitting with one after I returned from the bar. He was absolutely wasted and was trying to sober up. I'd have done the same in that position, but I thought I'd reciprocate what he said to me in that situation, and told him he was a pussy. He took the slagging quite well, in fairness.

Edit: It's only been 2010 for nearly a month. Oops.

A slight thought occured to me the other day, along age-related lines. Despite only being 2 decades (or 20 years) old, I've now lived in 4 separate decades (I was born in 1989). Not bad.
