WTH happened to Styleforum B/S Forum?

They look like ebay now

beta version is already out…..

@Giles:

So, one of the reasons, at vast expense, we moved to Mac was so we could utilise MobileMe.  Alex went to set it up for us today, as Mme B has got a sparkly new iPhone, and MobileMe is no longer, it's defunct, nada, fecked.  We now have to wait for iCloud, so we're buggered until that happens…....

I suppose now would be an appropriate time to rant about Apple's tendency to do whatever the hell it wants, regardless of any interests of its customers to the contrary.  Don't worry Giles, Apple knows what's best for you.  Just trust Big Brother and everything will be "magical".

Crazy hot in Toronto today!  It's going to be 38C, with the humidity it will feel like 49C.

found out today, that i cant do my bachelor thesis the way ive actually planed it

professor has already 11 requests for doing bachelor thesis and a few for doing the master thesis…he won`t take anymore for a long long time he said, so no chance for 2012...FUUUUUUUUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuuck!

[bertoni]

That sucks mate. Can't you snag another prof?

[Finn666]

Yeah, but that would be a total different theme…which i actually wouldn`t want to do

[bertoni]

Sounds like you need a bit of retail therapy mate

[Giles]

Or another year in Switzerland climbing cranes and eating…...

[Finn666]

talked about this with my boss during lunch-break today…gotta think about everything at first. but this sucks a bit...

@Giles:

Or another year in Switzerland climbing cranes and eating…...

I think i'd rather just buy stuff. I'm sure I read somewhere that those crane drivers had one of the highest heart attack rates due to their alternating sitting on their arse and eating and then bursting into life and climbing up/down all those feckin steps!

[bertoni]

??? Hope this info hasn't bummed you out yet further mate…it wasn't my intention I assure you

[Finn666]

Well im more the person checking out on the crane drivers and construction workers and all that shit, so ill be back in switzerland, working AND buying :D…

edit: it`s all good

[Max Power]

Oh man, that sucks. Just propose your prof theme, that's so exciting, that he can't miss out on it. Also, don't  his assistants do all the dirty work?

[Finn666]

hes pretty much a "bio" typa guy so he actually doesnt care about the others and does his work always as slow as he can…going to talk to him next week, when im back in germany again and well see what`s going on after this...

[Jestre]

Haven't been able to wear jeans or my new White's all week due to my extremely sunburned legs.  I'm going through denim withdrawal

[Giles]

You'll be happy you're not wearing the 634-XHS or perhaps worse still the 666-XHS…..

USPS tracking system is as much use as a chocolate teapot 

[Chris]

Yes.  It is utterly useless.  I can't count the number of times I've checked on a package and the only status updates are "received on x date" and "delivered on y date", with the second update coming about 4 days after the package arrived at it's destination.  But at least it's cheap(ish).

[Seul]

The Belgian "Track & Trace" system isn't all that either…

From experience, I know this will be delivered today normally... Then it will say "Item delivered by B-Post"... But that's about it...
