I don't know how i feel about this; one of my colleagues who works for one of our suppliers got a disciplinary due to an email i sent to him and his line manager regarding how he spoke to me at work today. This morning me and the student intern were in the corridor when this guy comes out...

Last night was my departmental annual dinner, and after the meal, we put on some karaoke, and me and Mise did a brilliant rendition of "2 become 1" by the Spice Girls! I don't usually like the Spice Girls or anything poppy really, but their songs are an awful lot of fun to sing along to, as...

From another thread: First time I've heard of it! I better stop drinking milk...

Whilst trawling the internet for things to do other than my work, I came across a portfolio of work from a studio that touches up celebrity photos. Glenn C. Feron: The Art Of Retouching Its interesting how the two men that he retouched, all he did was change the skin tone and erase some...

Inspired by Mathilda and Cierden in another thread - i was reminded of the idea of androgyny. Androgyny is a very interesting concept. For those who don't want to read the article at Wiki, Androgyny refers to mixing of gender roles or discarding gender roles all together. I like the idea...

Does anyone in the UK have SkyONE? This show's due to start on Sunday and I'd realllllly like to see it... in particular episode 7 and 8. Want to know why? I'm in one of those episodes! :D I'm an extra, and the scene is only a few minutes long. I'm rather sceptical about the actual quality...

There's a lot of hate/discrimination going round CFC at the moment so I thought I'd start a topic that surely noone has anything against! I personally give blood and when I die, I want my body to be used for organ transplants and medical research :) What's your pet charity? Or what...

So i was browsing the threads on here when i came accross this on the Meat The Parsnips thread: *wince* That's what my so-called friends at uni call me, cos i have more toned arms than they do... When I have short sleeves on and i pick stuff up they're always like "WHOA, that's just not right -...

Yay or nay? Generally speaking - which looks better, taking into account those girls who don't have model good looks and the body to accompany it? Obviously a girl who is naturally good looking can look killer in either, but on a plumper lady or a lanky lass, which are they more likely to look...

Girls aren't as good with Maths and sciences? Girls are better at biology? I want to know who your sources are! I was speechless at the sweeping generalisations made in the "geeks" thread about the gender divide in such subjects. In fact, i was so disgruntled by the discussions that i...

Or rather bike of the future: World's First Purpose-built Fuel Cell Bike Is it me or does that look odd to you? Its just not that pretty - the wheels don't look as though they are part of the bike... The whole chassis [body? I don't know the correct term...] seems rather short to me...

We all know you have one. Lurking in the depths of your tapes, CDs, records, or mp3s... there's one song that you're too ashamed to let anyone know you own. Or maybe even one that you were too ashamed to buy, but deep down you know all the lyrics too. Well, its time to 'fess up. What song is...

Does anyone know how one would go about setting up a portfolio for applying to arts based degrees? [in the UK at least...] I'm thinking about applying for design degrees but most require a portfolio - it takes a year at least to do a foundation course to build one up so i'm not sure if i should...
