pognoi Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 you might wanna run your files through Joey's park cleanup 2. It compresses the file an awful lot (just did my most recent project from 8 megs to 1.4) and tells you and CS that is having problems in your park! Â If the doesn't work use the BAK file Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pognoi Posted September 26, 2014 Report Share Posted September 26, 2014 When your teacher asks you for homework they didn't actually tell you about. Did all of my Graphics bridging unit and then my teacher asks me for the source pictures I used. He had not told us to bring them in before so now essentially most of the class has failed the bridging unit. Hopefully he'll come to his senses and also realize that it'd be crazy to kick 12 students off a course for something we weren't even told about. I guess it doesn't help I dropped cake on a mac ;3 Kerfuffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J.S217 Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 When I am happy with who my real friends are but are judged by "Friends" at school for having older friends and sharing a bed with them when I go to Alton Towers or Blackpool then them having the cheek to say stay away from him he prober-ley has aids because he sleeps with men in the same bed as they call them (bum buddies).I mean grow up at least I'm mature about this and having older friends really helps in the long run, but classing you guys as Paedophiles really upsets me and the thing about this is that they are a member of these forums.

pognoi Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Yeah.. One of the guys from my school got on my FB and went through all the blackpool photo's I was tagged in. He certainly was a bit rash when he started judging everyone because of their age and how old they looked. People just need to grow up like you said Jack.

paige Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 So I was basically told by a teacher (she said this to the whole class as a student kicked up a fuss about it) that because I am 'naturally able' or 'gifted' at some subjects (not my words at all, the school's), me getting a good or decent grade is worth nothing as I'm 'naturally good at it' and it actually really upset me. Just because I might seem like I put no effort into a subject and am just 'good' at it means in no way at all that my A/B is any less valid than anyone else's, as I often work a fair amount to get a grade I'm actually happy with.  If you want to make no effort in class or not bother and then get a G and cry and complain about it, that's your problem, but I hate the fact that they always drag the 'smart' people into it and act as if they're all incredibly snobbish and don't even bother to get an A and then brag about it. Yes a few may do that but they are very rare cases. If you work hard at something, you should be commended for it. There is nothing wrong about getting a grade which is deemed 'bad' if you know you have put your best into it. Everyone has their own goals, just because some may be happy with a B or a C and some will be rather disappointed means nothing, it's down to one's personal preference.   I really hope this post doesn't come across as snobbish or too moany to anyone, as that's not how I meant it at all. pluk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mer Posted September 28, 2014 Report Share Posted September 28, 2014 Jack and toofy - as you both said, don't worry about these people, they need to grow up. Age is just a number and having older friends can be a good thing; they can advise you on things, use their own experiences from being your age to guide/help you, etc. Plus you both have friends on here who are your age or similar as well! Most of the people here who I consider my best friends are younger than me. But I rarely ever consider their age or worry about what other people might think, because they're such wonderful people who have stood by me no matter what and I'm glad I met Paige - damn right! Don't worry about what the teacher said. Be proud of yourself for the effort you put in Matt 236 and paige 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark9 Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Sounds like a made up (at best) rant to me. Although I did give you a reason why 'yep' annoys me. If it helps, I'm ranting about myself a lot these days too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

planenut Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 My turn, enjoy your lives, smugly get on with your own and you will reap the rewards. Â If anybody feels they have to comment on someone else's life, it doesn't say much for their own does it? Â The longer you know someone, the more irrelevant the age. Mates aren't "ageist".

InfernoMartin Posted October 7, 2014 Report Share Posted October 7, 2014 It really annoys me when people bully other people just because of their weight. I just don't see why they need to bring it up. How do they know that, that person doesn't have a medical condition. They just automatically assume if you're over weight then you eat take aways every day.. As a victim of this myself it just really disheartens you. I just think judging people by their weight is wrong both being called Fat or anorexic! Â Mer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshC. Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Letters like these annoy me: Â Â I live in a house with 23 people, and each of our rooms has separate contracts. Â However, those contracts include a communal TV license (so, in theory, we're not allowed to watch live TV in our own room, just in places like the lounge, kitchen, etc.) Â Every one of us got sent this automated letter (which is seemingly sent to every student address ever..), despite never receiving the original 'warning' letter. Â And they never do any form of investigation, inspection or follow up from this. Â It's just pure scaremongering and trying to scare more gullible students into buying a TV license, which they may not even want or need. Â It's just annoying to see this sorta junk when, as a student, you have enough things to worry and pointless scare-junk mail is just not something you want to deal with... Â I just hope that these sorta things don't actually scare people... Kerfuffle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â It's just pure scaremongering and trying to scare more gullible students into buying a TV license, which they may not even want or need. Â They very much do! I'm often arresting people who have either failed to pay their fine or show up in court following TV licence prosecutions. It's not about whether people want one, if they need one legally for their use they should get one and the rules are pretty clear. Â I personally love what the BBC does and what it stands for, so don't begrudge a penny of my licence fee. We'd all really miss it if it were gone, much more than we realise.

JoshC. Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 Don't get me wrong, I don't begrudge paying for a TV license. However, in the case of us as students, where we've not fine any wrong doing (in the sense of we have a license and use it accordingly), things like this are annoying. In my experience, I (nor any student I know) have never had any form of inspection out anything similar to what the letter suggests. And there's no reason to suggest I've been breaking the law (indeed, the only TV I watch is Doctor Who in our lounge!). I know that this is a serious thing, but I've never known it to be any more than just sending it to every student as a way to seemingly scare people.

Smidget Posted October 8, 2014 Report Share Posted October 8, 2014 I don't know anyone who has ever been inspected for not having a TV license either. Pretty sure a bunch of people in my first year were watching live TV in their rooms and didn't bother to buy a license... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mer Posted October 9, 2014 Report Share Posted October 9, 2014 I hear ya. They can be more disabling than people realise, especially the ones that last for days and don't respond to painkillers! And I'm not even speaking from personal experience, this is just from witnessing a family member suffer with them. *Touch wood* I don't ever have them that bad, I mainly seem to get the crazy visual flickery flashy zig zag blind spot things but no headache afterwards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
