3 years of play while everyone else around me is working? I'd get so bored. Half of the fun of play is that it's a relaxing contrast to work, and I appreciate it so much more. But then I guess I'm just not a natural layabout :rolleyes:

Tou......and indeed, ché.

we is all different n dat innit

Naturally laying about is one of the best ways to lay about.

It's not £12,000 any more though ... I'll have a £20,000 debt when I leave. *sigh*

I hate Pro Evo. Recently my housemates for next year have started playing it every day and I can hear them screaming at the TV from my room. I'm getting very worried.

I'm also really starting to wish I hadn't taken English. *sulks*

Every day? Jesus. Me and my housemates play it literally 24/7 (okay, so not literally). I must play at least 10 games a day, usually more. I cannot remember a time the playstation was turned off, and there's usually only Pro Evo in it, although Tiger Woods had something to say about that for a period last term. My housemate owes out 175 pints for losing various games of it to my other housemates. I prefer to play for cash and have so far only won 10.50 off him but I've had a few pints off him in the past so all is good.

By the way, that is nowhere near an indication of how sad we are though. Each term since the very first last year we have a league and a cup. The cup is always a different format and has some sort of quirky twist. This year we have expanded to 9 members and I have given my presidency to another housemate. In league games everyone has run-out music and goal music (I introduced a limit of 1:15 for the run-out music and 0:15 for goal music), played relevantly by the assigned DJ. Some of my cup-quirks have included haveing auctions for designated lots of players to go in your team and an all-out draft with the 9 players ranked in order and picking players one after the other for their team. This year, the presidency hasn't set well with my other housemate and he has attracted a lot of controversy over introducing the real life players (us) into the game and deciding himself on their relevant stats. This controversy was heightened further when the last term's league was not finished due to one game not being played right at the end. People are calling for my return as president but this would be unfair on the young fella. He needs more time at the top. I believe in him.

Oh God, this is exactly the way my house is headed next year. Really wishing I'd lived with other people. I can't help but think that I deserve the room I want so I can retreat comfortably when they start with all that, but I know it's not going to work out like that.

Imagine if you lived in in a house with 4 girls and they spend time every day watching Take That live DVDs and screaming and cheering at the end of every song. Or perhaps oftener. It's kind of equivalent to that.

For my sins I do actually like Take That but I understand what you mean and I feel for you.

But you know what they say.....if you can't beat them...

I love pro evo... but none of my friends are hardcore wasters like me really, certainly not fun ones.

I really dont know all the right people... I need a contingent of lads who will just play computer games and buy takeaway, get drunk and throw up... just for an escape.

I am a dying breed. I hope Sean and Jess both come to the BBQ when we do one... need some quirkiness in the mix. Then I wont seem a total ****wit.

I have played Pro Evo before. It was okay. I'm not that interested in playing again though.

I wasn't sure if Take That were a safe bet as an analogy but I thought I'd give them a go ...

I hate revision. It's gay. I also dislike closed book exams. Whine whine whine whine whine.

If revision was gay... maybe I'd have done more??

I think it's asexual. An asexual demon that drinks satan's piss.
