Reply to: Outraged….

[chef]

Learning a language is easier if you are doing something that interests you. Chef is there something you would like to learn while learning German?

ideally I'd like to learn what gf chef is muttering on about in German as she always seems to look angry when several packages arrive from Amazon and I'm in the middle of unwrapping them and I'm trying to explain the benefits of each parcel.. Einkaufen, Ausgaben, nie endenden, Scheiße or words that sound something similar.. other than that and finding out who Fritz is and why he's the greatest during sex and I'd be happy

I plan to take 3 months off work early next year and spend it at home while taking a daily German language course to concentrate on my language skills, plenty of commitment here thanks.. nothing wrong with a treat to yourself once in a while..

I have dyslexia so no chance of me learning another language, I would like to learn Italian, for me a nice way of learning it would be to go to Italy and go on a cooking course.

Explain that to Mrs doodab for me will you.

Edit: Actually, scrub that, it's plastic. Why have they done that?

Edit again: And it's only £100 less than the 7D at the moment. Who in their right mind isn't going to spend the extra ton?

You don't want to have any money left, so you can't buy a ring

Still working on your commitment issues chef.

typical woman reasoning there AP, I was thinking more along the lines of buy everything I've had my eye on for a while before a 2nd person may possibly feel the need to be involved in the spending decisions..

plus it's not a huge dent in the earnings of the 3 month unexpected extension and it's my birthday soon, I always get myself a present.

And as an aside, I've also arranged a holdiay mid October for gf chef and I to her favourite place plus I plan to take 3 months off work early next year and spend it at home while taking a daily German language course to concentrate on my language skills, plenty of commitment here thanks.. nothing wrong with a treat to yourself once in a while..

Is it ADSL or cable?

currently it's a Netgear WGR614v9 router connected to an archaic unbranded as far as I can tell ADSL modem which is approx 10 years old..

And more to the point, why aren't you talking to these boys:

NetCologne

good point but they don't have a 4 port gigabit router as far as I can tell .. plus I've just ordered the router before I read this post

I doubt you'd want to come along as the next one might possibly be for an engagement ring, maybe that explains the subconcious reasoning behind current spending spree..

Let me know when you are having your next spending spree, I will come along and help. You must have run out of thing to buy, I will bring my list

I have these spending spree's every 6-9 months or so and then calm down during the rest of the time and play with my new toys..

Thanks for the concern though

the router is an upgrade of gf chef's current setup mainly to ensure I have a wired gigabit network (for the NAS box) and also because gf chef currently has a router and a seperate adsl cable modem which I believe Noah himself may have invented, I shouldn't have stupidly given away my old Draytek to my parents because gf chef said "you don't need that, I have one.. 2 in fact" when sorting out my stuff in Manchester.

Wow! you need help, join a support group of something.

are you gf chef?

Do you really need so much stuff?

yes

- my home cinema at present is lacking in decent speakers which seems a crime considering the Amp and Media Center that they're connected to
- the NAS box is sensible as I dont have any backup plan at present and I share stuff between multiple pc's laptop's

You cant fit a coke bottle in the bins by us, they're jam packed with blooming moggies

Ok TC!

[EternalOptimist]

You want to try finding bins these days. Airports and train stations have had none for years. I was in the Arndale last weekend and had a empty bottle of coke to dispose of. I carried it for ages looking for a bin - eventually I found a cleaner and put it in his rubbish bag. He looked at me like I'd just pissed on his chips - would he had preferred it if I had dropped it on the floor?

Bradford.

They still have scrap metal horse and cart boys - a really weird and wonderful mix of people and cultures!

Currently got a horse grazing on the football field outside the office.

Bradford ain't mining or farming, be more specific, sounds like East Ardsley.
