Yeah when there's nobody else walking up you can just bolt it up the escalators.

My wishlist so far...

Guitar (something cheap £65ish and not junk)
1TB HD (£65, external)
2GB RAM minimum (£30?)
Decent graphics tablet (£50?)
Blackberry (£200?)
A decent speaker set complete with an amplifier (£5 if I get it off carboot, £30 if I get it out of shop?)

And on top of that a decent video card which will probably cost roughly £40!

So that's £555-£580... and I have £15. Where will I get this money from? ><

Hm, work, beg your parents for money, beg random people for money. Or become a gigolo.

Tyla · Mar 21, 2009, 12:09 PM // 12:09

Tried work, could only find paper round and I'd rather not get beaten up by big gangs of chavs, and it's not even accepting under 18's anymore, mum's out of work because she apparently punched a 60-year-old disabled person and got fired (even though everyone at the workplace was treating her with disrespect in an area with several disabled people), begging is apparently against the law and is dishonourable! and I have no idea what a Gigolo is!

The easy way out: Blame the government!

"Shoveling snow, cleaning houses or garages, If you are able to get a DL you could drive elderly people, shop for elderly people so they don't have to go out in the cold... Put your name out there, put up an "odd jobs" flyer at the super market, senior center, or anywhere else that you can think of. Be open minded, if you are open to the opportunity it will come to you.... if you are good with the computer you could offer to help elderly people with theirs.... Good luck." from here

lol, what ever you do don't become a designer at google rofl, they argue with you about how thick a border should be.

this is too funny.

""I had a recent debate over whether a border should be 3, 4 or 5 pixels wide, and was asked to prove my case," said Bowman."

okay that was a joke :P

A gigolo is basically a male prostitute. He finds some rich chick, makes her think he loves her and then takes her money.
Another way to make money: sell stuff you don't need.
I sold my GW nightfall for 2300 din although I paid 2000.

Why don't you look at those sites that pay you for add clicking?

Tyla · Mar 21, 2009, 04:26 PM // 16:26

I have actually gathered a few things to sell. Trading cards! (because we all know people actually pay money for that Dark Magician Girl)

Jumping Is Uselss · Mar 21, 2009, 04:31 PM // 16:31

Ad clicking is kind of risky. Some companies require you to put your personal info, and they don't tell you what happens to it. More than likely you'll end up with scammers or frauds.

[email protected] not knowing what a Gigolo is. If you didn't want so much stuff you wouldn't need money.

Wow Etta, that looks like a heart attack waiting to happen...

I know, but I'll get the cash one way or another.

Had a mess around with a 12-string guitar today, and even though I'm not good on guitar, it was still a laugh.

Decided to try out Google Chrome too. I find it's actually less simple than FireFox and I'm trying to find a decent source showing how good they are in terms of security. I'm slightly impressed.

Edit: Well, it scrolls with a bit of lag on Newgrounds...

I'd eat it if there wasn't so much cheese. Not in one sitting of course.

EDIT: what is that thing on your avatar Tyla?

I pwnd U · Mar 21, 2009, 07:42 PM // 19:42

So by drug dealing or whoring yourself out? Nice.

I'm fine with FireFox thank you. Though it hacks me off that to watch the NCAA tournament games online you HAVE to use IE7. ><

Well, for a Netbook Chrome is better, because it takes up a lot less space than other browsers even when most of the cosmetics are removed. And Netbook screens are so tiny... (which is why I have my DVI and VGA ports hooked up to the same monitor for when I'm at home) Chrome also has this little thing which lets you drag out text windows, that's pretty cool too.

Also, apparently there's a full moon in 2 days. For some reason I really like the moon. Probably because it's linked to transformation (in mythology) and such.

Sir Skullcrasher · Mar 21, 2009, 11:03 PM // 23:03

My wishlist!

Asus P6T6 WS Revolution motherboard (already got it)
6GB DDR3 1600 memory (got that too)
Rest of my new computer parts (coming soon)

Can't wait to assemble my new computer! Hell if i had the money, put in 3 to 4 videocards in this sucker!! lol

kostolomac · Mar 21, 2009, 11:28 PM // 23:28

Sisnce it's wishlist time:
I just want to buy a nice comp that will be able to run TF2 on high details on a steady FPS and a nice headset. Already have the money for both, I'm just lazy.

Jumping Is Uselss · Mar 21, 2009, 11:40 PM // 23:40

3-4 video cards!?!?!?!

I thought 2 was overkill.

I pwnd U · Mar 21, 2009, 11:52 PM // 23:52

Ya 3-4 is definite overkill but w/e. If he wants to waste his money on it, by all means go ahead.

My wishlist, idk... nothing that I really feel like I want atm.

So was playing Gears2 today with a friend. In the middle of one of the games my mom called me for dinner. So luckily it was 4-1 atm, first to 5 and we were down. So it became sudden death, me vs 1 other guy. So I found the guy then just stood there and let him kill me. He came up after downing me and started to tea bag me. I lol'd. I wish I could be cool enough to tea bag someone who stopped playing.

People on Gears are soooooo cool.

All you need is 2 Max unless you're getting shitty cards.
