[scotthayes]

well it says QA training and consulting on it. jesus, well spotted!

Those are some looooong condoms.

Yeah, they come in pairs.

Poser.

Not really, I just popped into the Students Union on the way back to stock up (I'm not paying £3 for the machine in my hall again, they should be free not extortionate).

Codeine

Is it just codeine, or codeine + paracetamol/ibuprofen/aspirin/etc.?

Let's see:

Not in shot is the Panasonic Lumix camera I used to take the photo.

Nice to see somebody else on the forums who still shoots 35mm! What sort of Lumix do you have? My father has the DMC-L1 & it's a damned fine piece of kit.

 

[iBlue]

Is it just codeine, or codeine + paracetamol/ibuprofen/aspirin/etc.?

30mg codeine and 500mg paracetamol, to be exact. A while back you may have caught me with plain old oxycodone (10mg) in there

 

[Abstract]

It's teh megafun. Feels like a proper arcade game with the bundled wheel controller.

Dang, colour me jealous.

those are x2 condom packets… sheesh! havent you ever seen a condom packet before? [runs away ]

Haven't you ever seen a funny guy before?

In richthomas' defence, I didn't actually know they came in packs of 2 like that. Mine would come all attached together, so it's not entirely foreign to me p), but I couldn't see the weak "ripping" points. I just saw one big pack, and thought that maybe those condoms didn't need to be "unrolled".

It looks like one big ketchup pack to me, except I don't want what's inside the pack touching my mouth.

well it says QA training and consulting on it. jesus, well spotted!

Wow, maybe you know each other, or have been trained by scotthayes before.

A Panasonic Lumix can very well be digital, you know. I didn't even know there was a film version.

A Panasonic Lumix can very well be digital, you know. I didn't even know there was a film version.

As far as I know the Lumix range is solely digital. I was making 2x separate comments, one on how it's nice to see somebody else using 35mm & another asking what model of digital camera he has. I suppose I didn't make it very clear...

I just saw one big pack, and thought that maybe those condoms didn't need to be "unrolled".

How does that work? Not wanting to be overly graphic or anything, but how does one 'apply' the condom if it comes unrolled?

 

[Abstract]

They don't come like that. That's why I was so surprised when I (thought I) saw one like that. I thought the condom was really long.

Um.....lets move on.

 

[aldog]

Those are some looooong condoms.

wouldn't they actually be WIIIIDE condoms?

*not trying to thwart your attempt to move on or anything*

LOL

Wow. I should get one of those Timbuk2 bags. Are they easy on the shoulders? My messenger bag looks nice but it tends to hurt my shoulders even if all I'm really carrying is my MacBook and a notebook or two.

I'll post my bag later on!

tumbuk2 bags can be comfortable, but it all depends on the weight in them, imo. although they don't come with a padded shoulder strap, you can get one, which would help.

I recommend a large strong drink!!

Honestly, it's not too bad. I have had it before weigh maybe 25 or 30 pounds with some books in it, and while it isn't comfortable, it isn't painful either. If you use the optional strap that goes around the waist, it is reasonably comfortable, but goofy looking. That strap is invaluable though when you have something to carry as well... it keeps the bag centered on your back and keeps your hands free. I wouldn't want to walk a mile with it fully loaded, but I just need to be able to go from my car to the school building.

I was kidding. Although you make a good point. I remember when I was a kid I was at a gas station with a friend and this guy came in and wanted to buy condoms. The guy at the counter asked him for his ID, and when he found out the guy was 17, he didn't give him any condoms. Can you believe that?

[lost eden]

Well, this was a bit bigger chore for me...

Is that a messenger-style bag (as in single strap)? If so, how far can you carry that load before you get permanent shoulder damage!?

Can you believe that?

I would rather not, thats awful!
