So I left Knowhow where I was a call center agent for the delivery department and got a job with Sky on the 24/7 technical support lines, the shifts are awesome in comparison! I was doing 7AM-4PM at Knowhow on £8.45p/h and at Sky I only do 11PM - 6AM (2 hours less) on £11.30p/h.

More money for less hours is always a win, not only that but we average 3 calls an hour at night, and most of those calls last only 12-15mins on average, so I'm basically doing fuck all and getting paid for it. I normally get home around 6:30AM and go straight to sleep and get up at around 12:30-1PM, so I've got the day to myself still.

Easiest job in the world.

Yeah I thought it was a lot less. like 100 calories or something shit.

Anyway I'm gaining weight like fuck. Up to 194 pounds.


Pfft, try 239. My BMI always comes back as morbidly obese, but to be honest I don't look fat even though I'm not particuarly toned, my resting heart rate is always around 50-60 which is close to what a professional athlete might expect so I'm a bit confused really.

Quite strange to think if I was a boxer I would be a super heavyweight.

If you're extremely tall, a professional athlete or very old. It's a perfectly good measurement for normal people.

Its fine as an indicator for 90% of the population. Obviously its not exact and a load of factors throw it off (including muscle mass which Franck missed off his list), but as a basic guide its fine.

No, it's a load of bollocks, it's no guideline. All it tells you is your mass / height ^2 and gives a number that has no relevance at all.

Oh don't get me wrong, no ones going to argue with you that its the best measure, or that it should be used in isolation, but its fine for what it is. Which is an indicator of your mass in relation to the population. Whether that means anything or not depends on the individual.

Sucks for you then, right on the coast! I'm about half an hour up the road from you and about 15 minutes inland from Newquay, so it's not as bad.

Only plus is I know an Imogen so I have an excuse to say "I've been blown by Imogen" to her and annoy her.

Makes sense tbh, imagine they'll have 4 of them doing most of the recorded stuff outside of the studio then 3 of them in the studio like normal and just rotate them around.

I'm bloody ill, got a virus and possibly a chest infection. Aching all over and spewing my guts up all night last night, head's spinning. Not been to work all week so I'm going to miss a weeks pay on the shortest month of the year; just my luck!

Sports Discussion is still doing well and also the FM side of things (which I haven't actually visited for a long time, despite still playing FM regularly).

But yeah Off Topic is pretty quiet, the glory days were never gonna last forever though!

Seems to be a problem for forums everywhere - a lot of the music forums I used as a teenager are really quiet now in comparison, and those are the ones that still get traffic. Others elsewhere are pretty dormant.

Shame, really.

Explosions at Brussels airport and now an explosion at a Metro station in the city.

Stop fucking killing people.
