just a word to say hello all we r saying is give peace a chance

Had to read this conversation. I was startled by the, um, abrupt title for it. I think somebody just mistyped 'hello', but maybe this should be a place for people to come and talk about hell.

My own personal hell?
Why, I'm glad you asked...
I think I'm in it.

Lemme see...

I have a stupid poetry essay due in tomorrow that I'm nowhere near finished. That means I'll have to work all night, by the way... What else? Oh yes, all the people on my corridor are the biggest bunch of s I ever met, and so they didn't let me get any sleep last night with their noisynesses. They were starting again with their noisynesses when I left, having just woken up (them, not me- I've been working on this stupid essay all day), and I have no doubt that when I eventually do get back to my room at, say, 3am, having more-or-less finished my essay, they will still be perpetrating their noisynesses to a greater degree than before. This is because they are all s as I believe I mentioned, and because the TV people, in their wisdom, decided to put on football two nights running. Did I say that? Well, I think I'll say it again. What else? Let me see... I'm in the learning centre (library, it's a library, OK- they call it a learning centre to be all and because they *think* they have multimedia resources.) It's raining outside. The computers are humming ad ticking like a bomb that's about to explode in the way that only extremely old, slow computers in educational establishments can. And it's giving me a headache . Isn't that enough yet? I think it is, or I will have to add 'handing in an essay doomed to failure' to the list, if I spend much longer posting here and not writing the thing.

ok ok calm down maz, thats a bit harsh, but then i guess its good to rant on, on here were you can just type away. Why dont you pass the rant on to your security blokey type thing. its not fair on you being camped out in the library all night. its the sort of weather to be tucked up in bed all cosy and writing your essay, nice and quiet. Yup, seeing as this is kens posting starting off, of course its spelt wrong. anyways, keep cool, ill buy you a big pair of headphones, or loud speakers watever suits you best!! u need to keep u up!!! and some essiental

And you talk about Ken's spelling!

Yes, but I have to be camped out in the library to do my essay really, since I'm doing it on the computer. And to be fair, I could be in bed drafting it on paper instead, ready for typing up tomorrow and playing VERY LOUD music, but it's a lot quicker and easier to type it straight up. And besides, I'd probably fall asleep i I was in bed! Oh well, about halfway there I reckon.

hi i think we all ought to club together and by maz some industrial ear protectors and a copy of any ministry of sound cd if u can`t beat them join em, or convert them to sheffields own talent def leppard jarvis cocker & joe cocker with a little help from my friends.

Aaargh! noo, anything but that. NO ministry of Sound, NO Def Leppard either, come to that. I don't know which is worse... Ken, GET SOME SMILEYS. And use them. please....

maz or lucia how do u use smiley, by the way i am starting to listen to c & w but i still dont like it. its still crap anway you have got steps next year at the sheffield arena wat more do u want

What's c and w? Yes. Have you read my article on Sheffield? It's http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/A659847 Um, the way to do a smiley, would be...

Say you wanted to do the smiley, you'd write the word 'grr' within thingies like this <*insertgrrhere*>, substituting the word 'grr' for the stars and the words 'insertgrrhere'. What I'm trying to say is...

****Go to the smiley homepage by clicking on ANY of the smileys in this posting (or anywhere else).****** They explain it much better than I can. And there's a full list of smileys there, too. Which is nice.

If you wanted a just write the words 'peacesign' within those diagonal brackety things (whose names I have forgotten).

Madmaz

you mean like this
