You can't be paying much tax on that.

[Clockers]

Damn! I make more then $2400 in a month. :shock:

[Bobo]

Bobo will not tell, money isn't important, and how much I make doesn't tell anything about me.

you fkin bet bobo....

so right,

ive seen you down the casino

[Thought Pro]

Bobo will not tell, money isn't important, and how much I make doesn't tell anything about me.

We know it's in the 6 figures...$150K approx.

[Spike]

About 50million ...... Belorusian roubles. :lol:

[soserious]

the monetary system is skewed anyways.
trade was much better in many ways.

got livestock? trade some

got land?
grow crpos, trade some.

got nothing? take from the land.

still got nothing? move.

spice trade, blacksmith, carpenter ect. trade of goods still goes on in many places rather than cash money. such as cattle: it in itself is an object of negotiation and even it is very useful for everything it has/is.
whereas real money wont o you that much good out alone in the wildreness, you cant eat it, you cant use its fur to keep you warm, you cant alk aimlessly at it and get a response.

we came from trade, we will go back to trade: the alternative the government would one day like to FORCE .. a chip in your hand as a credit* card, so you are traceable, controllable.
fuck that, i would hope major civil unrest overthrows any gopvernment like that before it gets hold.

First, I would need to count all the shares invested in the stock exchange, plus my oil investments... :mrgreen

[Bobo]

Oh no, nothing like that! I'm not rich... maybe in 20 years I might make six figures if I get lucky, but right now: not even near.

[Valk]

if I get lucky

You mean, if you get unlucky.

About 50million ...... Belorusian roubles. :lol:

50,000,000 Belorusian roubles = £12,542.40

[ArTee63]

Funny...I make exactly the same amount each month that I spend.

Go figure... :?

[Thought Pro]

You're better off than most people then.

[zwmusic]

50,000,000 Belorusian roubles = £12,542.40

That's not bad if it's monthly, not bad at all.

[Clockers]

That's real good if it's monthly, which i suspect it is.

[Thought Pro]

I suspect it's just a ficticious number. :cool

[soserious]

12 thousand sterling in a month?????
what the?
i think thats most likely annual.

[Godma]

Jeez, Louise. He obviously said 50 mill as a random figure plucked out of nowhere as a joke.

Probably didn't expect a smart-arse to go ahead and convert it to sterling.

[Bobo]

But... are You sure? :lol:

[soserious]

i cant help taking things literally,
if someone tells me something stupid and untrue-in a serious way- part ofme believes, or at least doesnt want to rule it out even as a tiny possibility.
now theres a wasp or bee in my living room and its getting near my food :x
i have to defend my food. :twisted:

[Bobo]

I always kill them on the fly, with my lightning fast hands... a good slap that shoots them against the wall or floor gets them every time. :twisted:

[Valk]

Bee's??? :shock:

I sometimes do it with flies but with bee's? Hmmm, never tried it.
Maybe I need to go for something bigger, so I can eventually slap dogs dead against the wall. :mrgreen

[Bobo]

Not as easy with flies because they're too light... bees usually rip open in mid-air after my bitchslap.

[soserious]

i let it be. it went away.
flies though spread bad stuff-they die generally, i tell them to get out, and give them an escape route and a chance,
if they dont go, i kill them very quickly without any fuss. sorry but with its diseased self its either me or them-and you best believe it aint gonna be me.

i just had cereal and expired syrup.
need something savoury. but got nothing i want, i can feel the energy drop more :x

[Clockers]

Never could stand bee's or wasp's , i just get the fuck out there way.. :cool

i heard someone say that.

Depends on where they've been crawling. If there is a dead dog under Your house they rip in pieces before walking on Your bread, then they may spread some diseases.

[Godma]

I don't think so.

The chances of catching anything nasty from an ant is slim to none. Theoretically, it's possible. But if they carry anything, it'll be bacteria, not viruses.

[Bobo]

So, You do think so. I said nothing about how propable it is, but it is possible. To keep Your food clean, make sure ants or anything else that crawls and lives won't reach Your food.

[Godma]

Well, yeah. But just as getting hit by lighting is possible, if someone asks me if they're likely to get hit by a bolt on their way to work, I'll say I don't think so.

[soserious]

hmm, ok thanks for the responses guys.
i always reckoned they were generally harmless enough but seeing others get stressed about ants talking about them being bad healthwise or something i just thought id ask.

ss

[Bobo]

A fly is much more propable to carry diseases because they like to walk on shit and stuff... ants live a much cleaner life. But, bacteria can stick to ants just as easily as to a fly if they walk on dirty environments. Then again, as Godma said, You're really unlucky if You catch something from them. A few bacteria usually can't make You sick, but if they start breeding in Your food, then it's a totally different case. But... don't spoil Your life by fearing ant-spread diseases.

[Spike]

What the hell are ants doing in your house?

[soserious]

ants have always been in my house, this one and the last..dunno about the one before that though.
:?
there everywhere, in the floors and walls. not many so far this year but they patrol the kitchen.
some of my neighbours have them too.
is that unusual? :?

[Shane_Bos]

We dont get them in my house. The flies that get in through the back door piss me off though :evil:

[groove champion]

haha, i thought i would come in here to see how much money every is earning and now were talking about diseases from cow shit etc :lol:

Hey SS, i think you need to lay of those donuts then, cld stop those ants following you :wink:

[Spike]

Do you people live on a rubbish tip or something?

There's no fucking ants, flies or mosquitoes in my neighbourhood. :lol:

[soserious]

oh man, my place is mozzie heaven! but im the angel of death.

ants too, yeah flies piss me off too. i destroyed my bedroom on many occassions at my old house trying to swat them- my curtains would get knocked and rip totally off the wall-supports and all. THEN I WOULD GET REALLY MAD :evil: itsd take me agesw to put curtains back up, it was not fun being on display cos of nasty flies.
but im a seasoned fly killer now- quick, and easy. :twisted:
REVENGE!!

oh, i also have moths, 2 years ago it was so bad.. they were all in my cereal boxes in the sugar, flour everything . and i came home one day and looked on my ceiling to see dozens and dozens of maggots crawling across my ceiling, heh. crazy.
i put everything in tin since but now i let slip agfain and theyre back :evil:


hey, what creatures eat pond algae? i know water snails do, do pond lice? anything else?

Welcome to the well known phenomenon known as "Straying Off Topic" which seems to run rampant around here.

['TheBugKahuna']

Bee's??? :shock:

[Clockers]

Well Spider's ain't that bad i see some here and there in the basement, never did like the little creepy fucker's but aslong as they leave me alone then i'am happy. :P

Ants not a problem!

Flies,bees every once in awhile 1 or so will get in from letting my dog in/out all day long. :x

[Bobo]

Ants do easily get into houses, and it can be almost impossible to find their route in.

[Clockers]

Yea! I know at my last house i tried lots of stuff to get rid of those fucking ants, :x and it seemed that nothing really worked. :evil: So i tried and tried to find there route but it was like impossible to find, if i would have stayed in that house i was going to hire an 'AntMan' to come in.. :x

[groove champion]

Ants do easily get into houses, and it can be almost impossible to find their route in.

ha, if you catch them half way up the stairs right then your are defintely f'ked

[soserious]

ants.. ants.. ANTS.
ants i can deal with but ive had a big increase in the number of spiders stalking my apartment/flat. *shudders'* its been so damp, cold and rainy recently that i think theyre just wandering in. its very muddy out there right now and raining.

[Katsz]

I know this is so last page, but I must comment on the bitch-slapping bees thing.

The best way I've found to kill an airborne bee is with a tennis racket. You can't miss, and the tight network of strings will slice the bee into pieces.

[Bobo]

You can easily destroy something that way, unless You have no furniture. Hands are more than enough, a quick slap will kill them because they're quite heavy compared to flies. Horseflies are worse, those fuckers won't break easily. A good slap may take their lights off for a while, and You can make the kill then.

[Valk]

Are bees a good source of protein?

[Bobo]

Thinking about catching them with Your mouth? :shock:

[Valk]

No, ofcourse not silly.

First I knock them unconscious or dead. Then I fry them in a cooking pan.
Those enormous spiders in the Amazon are know for their protein.

[Bobo]

Bees arse is full of that weird yellowish stuff (it usually cracks open with my bitchslap), I don't think they have much proteins in it. :x

[soserious]

when was the last time anyone of y`all walked into a spiderweb? in your face?
in your face with a spider still on it?
*shudders*

[Bobo]

:x I hate spiders. :evil:

[Valk]

Fucking pussies! :lol:

I used to ride into them with my bike almost every morning.
They would always weave their web across a small alley that was on my route. Because I'm not the most clear early in the morning most of the time I only remembered it when there was a large spider in my face. :x

[Bobo]

I don't fear them, not anymore... (I used to). I simply don't like them... too many legs.

[soserious]

hahaha, you guys give me jokes. :lol:

yeah- early morning jogging is treacherous with webs across pathways :x
i found a few more today just abseiling from my ceiling :?

[Clockers]

Them fucking creepy spider's can kiss my Ass!! :x

[Bobo]

...and leave my ass alone.

[soserious]

Godammit. I miss Bobo being around.

Y`all don`t suppose he went to teh middle East or got in some treacherous trouble at the hands of desperates do you? Or even nature itself?
I know he is a big strong resourceful guy, but things can happen to the best of us.
Hmm.
Hmmmmmm.
HMMmmmmmmmmmmmm. :?

[G-Spot19]

I miss him too. I kinda figured he would be back, but he will eventually. As far as the answer to the question in the title, :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[The Big Banana]

I think weve still got at least 6 months till he gets back havent we?

I dont make money anymore. Ever since Oz switched to plastic money my plates are worthless.

[oldwhiteguy]

I think you're right BB, at least another six months before we see him, but Bobo if your looking in occasionally, send us a sign you are alright.

How much money do I make, well ......... :lol: :lol: :lol:

[soserious]

I think I`m about to get fired, turns out I was supposed to be in for a shift but I didn`t know so they have it taht I did a "no show". Disciplinary right there (new boss is such a slimy lying douche, I`m sure he`s going to love lording his "authority" over me. :roll: :x )
They cut my hours down to like 10-14.. for a full time job, super weak..
At teh time taht I had full time hours I earned after tax and NI £7,000 a year.
For UK and for London, thats so lame..

Atleast if I get fired it`ll be over at that job. I like (most) people I work with but teh hours and pay are not worth it in the slightest. I`ll find another shit job..:x :?

[The Big Banana]

Nah mate, start looking now and find a better job.

[soserious]

Yeah, that`s part of the problem.
I mean, I still want to try army, but with my knee and stuff I think it`s already finished as far as an option.
So next I was thinking about emergency services, I have given serious thought to all in turn- Paramedic, firefighter and even police officer.
I have also thought about other military paths though they will want soldiers who can run without bad knee pain also.. RAF, Navy.
Navy sounds interesting but terribly confined. More than that the sea is so vast that a lot of ones time will be spent under a hot sun, I can tan ok but I prefer not to since I also get burned. (Like now, goddamn it, I shoulda worn what the Arabs wear, that white head thing. It`s a very good idea in such sun.)

You are right though, I want a career. I just am a perfectionist in some ways.

[K-man]

Hey SS.

You're right obout the rest of the military. The required fitness levels are pretty consistent throughout. Police and fire service too, i believe. That leaves with the paramedic option. What is it that you do at the moment man? Is it feasible that you could start training towards the paramedic thing? Have you looked into it at all? A friend of mine was thinking about doing it and apparently there is around 2 - 3 years of training involved. From reading some of your posts it seems (and forgive me if I'm getting ahead of myself) that you could use some direction on your life.

In my opinion, a big part of the male psyche is the need to have purpose. If we dont we inevitably feel a bit useless and start to get down on ourselves, which in turn affects or view of the world at large.

I guess what my rambling is trying to get to is that if your serious about becoming a paramedic then you first need to establish whether or not it is actually possible. If it is then only you can make it happen. If not, think about something else that interests you and works towards a career there. You can do it man!!

[The Big Banana]

Firemen are kings among men. Becoming a paramedic would be good too though, I would think that its quite a mental challenge though, learning a fair bit of medicine.

A career is something you work towards with baby steps though. I noticed that for a paramedic, the traditional route (which doesnt involve uni) is by becoming an ambulance care assistant. Internal promotions allow you to move up the ranks and eventually become a paramedic.

I dont expect to be in my 'goal' job for another 5-10 years and Ive been in my current industry for nearly 5 years already.

[soserious]

K-Man,
You're right obout the rest of the military. The required fitness levels are pretty consistent throughout. Police and fire service too, i believe.
Yeah, I thought this is almost certainly the case. :/

That leaves with the paramedic option. What is it that you do at the moment man?
Just a lame cinema multi-function job which I will likley be fired from soon due to several reasons.

Is it feasible that you could start training towards the paramedic thing? Have you looked into it at all?
Yes I looked into it, there is a lot of training, 3 or 4 years I think it is.

A friend of mine was thinking about doing it and apparently there is around 2 -3 years of training involved. From reading some of your posts it seems (and forgive me if I'm getting ahead of myself) that you could use some direction on your life.
Yes and no, I have TOO many things that I want to do and achieve, this has evidently been a problem since I have not started any. I guess I don`t simply want to be lost in the system- I am already in the system but I am aware of it. From the military one can gain valuable assets and skills that can be used for many things, realistically it looks like a no go which is very frustrating.

In my opinion, a big part of the male psyche is the need to have purpose. If we dont we inevitably feel a bit useless and start to get down on ourselves, which in turn affects or view of the world at large.

I think you are spot on. I have a fairly harsh view of myself (not neccesarily bad) but even (I) believe that I am better than the lame job I do right now. I am capable of a lot more, besides I don`t like the whole system or concept.

I guess what my rambling is trying to get to is that if your serious about becoming a paramedic then you first need to establish whether or not it is actually possible. If it is then only you can make it happen. If not, think about something else that interests you and works towards a career there. You can do it man!!
Thanks man, actually some things about it put me off. Thats why I considered it but didn`t try and apply. Like I said I am kind of a perfectionist so I have to feel that I can truly throw my efforts into something fully or not at all. when I am forced to put effort into something that I don`t believe I don`t do it to teh best of my ability.

Actually there was a couple more uh, thoughts. I have found myself getting more and more politically aware and thought about looking into it.
I find it hard to apply myself, hard to commit to something.

I don`t know. Frustrated.

Firemen are kings among men. Becoming a paramedic would be good too though, I would think that its quite a mental challenge though, learning a fair bit of medicine.
Yeah, very daunting- especially for a mind that changes so frequently.

A career is something you work towards with baby steps though.
I dont expect to be in my 'goal' job for another 5-10 years and Ive been in my current industry for nearly 5 years already.

Are you on your way step by step? Or are you in a different line of work entirely?

[The Big Banana]

Step by step. I'll get there eventually.

[K-man]

Well SS, you're obviously a fairly intelligent and articulate bloke. Have patience my man!!

I know where you're coming from. I spent many years going from one shit job to another and it does make you question yourself. It's only by chance that i am where i am today. Sometimes life has a way of sorting itself out. I'm not saying that it will happen overnight, but just keep plugging away and something will turn up.

Obviously the decisions you make will have an impact on how things turn out so be aware of yourself and the decisions you make.

Keep smiling man!!:D :D

[ColdShroom]

How did you get your current job?

[soserious]

Who?
.....

[ColdShroom]

You.
<img></img>

[soserious]

Is that a picture? (All I see is a tiny square with triangle circle and square symbol that means that the actual image isn`t showing.)

I went there and handed in my cv, a few days later after 2 days of training I signed the employment contract.

[ColdShroom]

Have you done this anywhere else? At this point, it seems like anywhere but there would be better.

You've been saying that you're bound to be fired for months on end now.

Aside from the Army.. have you tried to apply anywhere else?

[soserious]

Well now I really am likley to be fired. The new manager doesn`t like me and is looking for any reasons to fire staff who preceded him, in our places he has brought in a large number of south americans who speak very little or NO English, given that we all work with many customers every day this has been very problematic (the guy is a spanish speaking american) now even though we are now OVERstaffed he has brought in yet more staff who begin training tomorrow. Now after hostilities between him and myself I have had a "no show" which can lead to instnat dismissal in itself.
Therefore, I am likely to be fired.

Now, you wanna know why I chose that job (even as a meantime shit job)?
Because I had to wear a hat as part of the uniform.
Everyone asks me why I shave my head at work, I don`t like being bareheaded at work/s.
May sound trivial to you or others who have hair but unless your a bald fucker don`t even think about judging that.

Ovcourse if I really wanted to I could just say to hell with it and whip my hat off and do another job. It`s not an essential that I have headware, I just prefer it.

To be honest jobs really aren`t that easy to find here, I remember spending over a YEAR looking for work- any work, nowhere and I mean NO-WHERE wanted me, the places I got interviews with all changed their mind once they saw me (nothing wrong with my turnout) and teh jobs that were available I couldn`t do.
Even recently I tried very hard for a job which my friend is in, who WERE recruiting, my CV was good, my skills are good, but they took weeks just to tell me that they weren`t looking and didn`t want me. A few weeks later my friend who works there alraedy told me that another friend got an interview and started shortly after and taht they WERE recruiting as they had advertised.

Years ago so desperate I was for work (I was a qualified Gym Instructor) that I took a government initiative where you go to work at a place and get paid very little (£1.90 per hour it worked out for me). After 6 months of abusing my efforts teh company finally offered me a position to which I said "Go F..." and it seemed that I had 2 companies offering me employment at teh same time..arrgghhh... I took the otehr offer and worked there until I got sick and exhausted and badly depressed with major insomnia, Thus started 2 years of psychological fuckeries and exhaustion hell.

This time, I knew taht they would be hiring (just a gut feeling) I was very confident in my ability and passed the interview no problems.

I guess I am feeling demoralized, going to a new place and starting over will be just as shit (with the exception that a lot of teh staff (old staff whove mostloy gone now) were/are fun to work with. I have a lot of friends there.

Hmm, you probbaly didn`t need that long history, but I guess ultimatley it is laziness and procrastination and misplaced perfectionism.

[Wylde Bill]

55,000 cdn per year plus annual bonus based on sales. I also have an expense allowance and my mobile is paid for. Not a rich guys income by any stretch but I like it better then the car business.

[The Big Banana]

So youve quit the car business then? Was there a downturn because of oil prices?
