Got a 63 plate Ford Fiesta ST in Panther Black. Girlfriend reversed it into a wall. I work at Ford and they have a body shop on site. They remove the bumper, repair it, prime it annndddd.... No paint *facepalm* driving around in a shiny new black ST with a primed rear end, so if you spot it in Manchester/Rochdale, please beep like a maniac, point and laugh :D

Woman drivers ;)
 
Woman drivers ;)

haha, the only part I can add to that with personal experience is whenever I have a woman driver before or after me when having a driving lesson, it feels like being in a chopper in gale force winds :) so I just learned to wear the safety belt as soon as one gets behind the wheel.

I wouldn't let my girlfriend near my car :L same with most of my female friends. One of them has a love of driving silly fast and not knowing that there are gears past 3rd :/

when i was doing my driver's license i once sat on the backseat while some girl was driving. she pulled to 70km/h in second gear while steering damn close to the edge of the road, absolutely no sense for the width of the car and the noise didn't even bother her. i've never been scared that badly before.

The estate where I park my car (no college car park -.-) has some pretty narrow parts with cars parked at the side of the road but there's plenty of space for 2 cars if you slow down and get over. I'll get well over and get it through the gap seeing as i have quite a small car and I've got a good sense of width for it. Some people spend so long going along there as they've no idea how much room they have it's incredible. Saw a smart car going down there one morning that was scared even with no oncoming traffic :L
 
So today was that time of the year that I decided to do a full cleaning of my pc, remove the gpu's, remove the dust filters, use compressed air to clean the shit out of it and guess what, the 150L, 20 year old reliable compressor doesnt want to turn on (has a minor leak so doesn't hold pressure for very long times), so a ghetto clean up has to do until we fix that. Also last week another very reliable driller went to heaven, it has been through the building of a whole house, and the restoration of couple of others so it served us well.

Also today I overheard a nerd (no not a geek, an actual nerd with glasses and up-to-the-belly-button trousers) say that his new razer mouse checks for clicks a thousand times every second, using a lot of swearing to get his point across to his friends. I'm guessing he was referring to the polling rate so as soon as I heard him I just turned and smirked at his face, hell even my 5 year old mouse has a 1000hz polling rate, not really an FML this one but worth sharing.

Also if a mod is reading this, how about we implement sending an email reminder to every user every 3-4 months to remind them to clean their pc, just something I thought of :)
 
A lady opened the passenger door of her 206 into my discovery. scratched through paint. Yay.

Also my neighbour knows I like hot things so h e brought me some of the chicken wings he got from a restaurant. They were the hottest thing ever. Had to down a L of milk to dull the fire enough to manage. Have had uncontrollable runs since. The burny kind
 
I am now writing a 20 page essay for art class about 2 sculptures and their relation to nature... *sigh*

Oh did I mention it's due tomorrow and I'm on page 8 now? :D
 
it was a single wing. smaller than a kfc hotwing. but dear goodness it must have been bathed in satans bathwater. i love hot food. i have ghost chilli sauce in the fridge. this was hotter than that. i dont know how but it was.

Worth it!

Can always sit down in a bucket of ice (or milk).
 
Update: The compressor still lives, its seems to be a faulty switch, too bad I had already re assembled my pc, I'll do the cleaning this weekend :)
 
My HDD is on the way out i think, it is a lot noisier on idle than it usually is and its becoming sluggish. Better back up my stuff i guess. Got a scythe himuro on its way too so it should keep it cool and quiet while i save for a new HDD. I might load my OS to my 80GB HDD and just use my 300GB for storage but the 80GB is even older. Oh well gives me an excuse to buy myself a 1TB drive sooner.

Also got my new speakers and sold my old ones, i need to wait an extra 2 days for my rca to 3.5mm adapter. 2 days didn't seem like a lot but when you don't have working speakers you realize how much you use them.

Also apparently i have social anxiety. I don't see it as that much of a problem just people labeling shyness.

Not in the worst of situations but meh never the less.
 
parents are doing a uni course and they have a assignment due next week so my mum thought it would be a good idea to gover my desk where my rig sits in her coursework.

i might burn it all.

I laughed more than I should have done at the last bit. I feel your pain! Made me and the Mrs a curry the other night 'Phal' oh my god, it's still a bit risky...
 
Fuuuuuuuuuuu :mad:

I'm having internet connection problems at the moment :(

About two days ago I got home and noticed my internet was down. After a few hrs of rebooting my modem and talking to Virgin over the phone I finally got my internet back up and running. All is good I thought... nope, it's not. I have a 60mbps connection and now i'm getting between 1-5mbps if i'm lucky, bad times.

I call up Virgin again and they make me run all these CMD promts on my PC which led them to conclude that it's a problem with my PC. I thought ok then, i'll try reinstalling Windows.

I reinstall Windows, set it up get all my stuff installed and set all my settings, make a large cup of coffee and think to myself "haha, time to internet."

Nope, connection is still crappy and i'm still getting ~1-5mbps :(
So Today I had a Virgin Media Engineer round to check things out, he changes all my cables, modem and ethernet cable and still I have a crappy connection.

He then tells me that it's definitely nothing my end, Virgin don't have any idea what is wrong and I have to wait 7-10 days before they can do anything else because they need to monitor my area and my connection.

I can't play BF4 or any other online game, I have to watch Youtube vids in 240p because anything higher takes to long to buffer. I can't stream or download any films or music, basically I can't do anything with my internet apart from browse websites and send emails \o/

One thing I have learned from this is how dependant on the internet I have become, when I am unable to do the things I mainly do it shows how much the internet is part of a modern life style and how much we rely on it.

So yesterday I went out with my friends for some partying, so I decided to wear a ring on my right middle finger just for the fun of it. Now here I am, with a massive headache and a finger so swollen that it looks like a sausage, the ring is still in there as is slowly driving my crazy. I will try to leave the finger reduce the swelling a little bit and if two or three days pass I will go to the hospital or just chop my finger off :P

FML...
