What rocks / what sucks?

big_southern_jesse

Bit of a poo week this week, really!

Sucks?:

Bad cramp has left me with a painful calf that has about 15 degrees less movement than the other. Crappy weather has slowed work down a lot No riding last weekend Today was the deadline to hear back for 2 jobs I'd appllied for; so far: Nada!

Rocks?:

Should get a run out on the bike tomorrow.

Particularly peeved about the jobs. You know those bits where it says:

"If you have not heard from us by 28/2/08, you can assume we think you're far too crap for the job, etc, etc."

It'd be nice if they had the decency to let you know.

Oh well, might go and sit in the workshop and give the bike another once over before we go out tomorrow. Hopefully that will make me feel better! Arse![/list]

Dude - I was right at the end of Halo 3 and I got the whole '3 red lights on the ring of light'

Now back with MS and may take up to 28 days to come back - I'm with you man :twisted:

schmako

3 lights on mines too (playing halo too!), apparently thats a hardware failure! Just spoke to the guys on the helpline today, how the hell did they take my email as ...@aol.con!! (resulting in me not recieving the shipping labels)!!! Another 72hrs added onto my wait. In other news the cycle today was amazing total blizzard conditions but then it brightened up for the last uphill/decent so I suppose I can't be moaning too much!

big-hitter

(cough) ps3 are better (cough)

rocks: me!

sucks: you guys!

The Big Cheese

PS3s suck big time - no way you can compare them to a 360 console (even if they do go wrong more often)

GT Destroyer

I agree Cheesey. I love the 360, there are a couple of lads at work who have both and don't play on the PS3.

Rocked - My ham and cheese sandwich I just ate.

Sucks - The fact that I didn't make 2.

schmako

Two of my mates also got rid of their ps3's after seeing halo online haha!

Rocks - Manager saying I can have a half day!

Sucks - Legs too tired after yesterdays brutal snow cycle to go out today, looks so nice out aswell.. oh well the commute shall be my biking fix for the day, will settle for cleaning them today.

big_southern_jesse

Damn, Thewaylander, that sounds like a pretty bad list of sucks, then again, the rocks list looks as though it will outweigh it. Hope you have a good blast on the bike over the weekend!

Thewaylander
