General Kalina Thread!

I've never been back to Scotland since being born in Aberdeen, and leaving Peterhead at 6 months old, so I never saw it I must go climb some mountains though

 

Where abouts are you living now?

 

I'm in Farnborough, Hampshire, the home of the Airshow. Well and truly a Southerner now. I've been lots of travelling recently, just in the UK, and I really want to go back and see the granite city, place of my birth. And Aberdeen FC aren't doing too bad this year either So what's it like living in Kirkcaldy, Scotland?

 

It's not too bad. I'm pretty much all over the place these days. I'm doing my Honours year in Edinburgh so I'm back home at the moment and I was living in Northern Ireland last year because my fiance lives there. I'll be moving back to Northern Ireland after this year but Kirkcaldy is a nice quiet place to live. It also has the longest travelling fair in Europe at Easter time

As for the football team, Raith Rovers aren't exactly the best at the moment but they had their day in 1994 when they beat Celtic in the Coca Cola Cup final I'm a Liverpool fan as well though. Are you a fan of an English team?

 

Wow, that's good to hear Weirfire, Honours in what subject, if you don't mind me asking? I had a online thing going with a girl in Belfast once, and a girl in the Republic too... sounds like that line that Charlton Heston does in "Wayne's World 2" LOL

I'm actually a West Ham United fan. Comes from having lived in Chelmsford once upon a time with a load of London families around me. Chelmsford's even got a West Ham shop...

I shall be keeping an eye on Raith Rovers now

 

Honours in Computer Science. This is definitely my last year of study. I'm starting to think I'm actually mad trying to do a course at the same time as run a business. It's all good for learning though.

As for Raith Rovers, I wouldn't watch too closely; 1. Because it's very ugly and 2. They will probably go bankrupt and cease to exist.

Guess where I met my lady friend? lol I never fail to feel a bit uneasy at telling people that I met my woman off the net. I know what people are thinking. They think I'm either a sad case that has been searching for woman online because I don't have the guts to ask a girl to her face or they think I'm some pervert who goes looking for women online.

 

Good luck in your degree, and I will keep an eye on Raith Rovers anyway.

Don't worry that you met your girl on the 'net, that's cool, I think most people are open-minded enough not to think negatively about that. If there are negative attitudes then that's down to *opinion*, the *fact* is that the relationship works

 

Cheers Lever

Did you ever put yourself through the torture of university?

 

No, I wish I did though. I was going to do Computer Science at Bristol Polytechnic but the single parent situation put a stop to that, meaning that I was just living with my dad, *not* me having kids or anything LOL There's always time to do a degree through the OU - maybe, one day...

 

I've been looking into that recently...

It looks like there are some pretty good courses out there...

A few of them really cought my eye. Mainly web aplication development and so on...

Check it out...

They aren't *too* expensive either...

 

Well the longer you leave it the harder it is to learn. It's like the saying goes 'You can't teach an old dog new tricks'. Isn't that right Anthony?

 

Oh yeah? then check this

 

What happened? This thread has been hijacked....

Sorry Kalina, I guess your 15 minutes are up

 

lol nice research

It has indeed been hijacked although Kalina did say she was going to be offline for a while. Anthony has been pining for her to come back.

 

1. Your fiancee is a lesbian?
2. Your fiance is gay?

 

rofl

No she is neither. I mean it keeps her happy that there are no attractive women that will come in contact with me.

 

The rumors about her subsidizationaling have been greatly exaggerated. She was merely negotiating an arms deal with her sisters. She left me here as a spy. She knows everything said in four forums now. Anthony is right.

 

Whispers Dont talk to that Minstrel. I think he could be one of them too

 

LOL - "subsidizationaling" - great new term, minstrel. That and "hurricane Kalina" will mean DP is #1 on those terms. You can name constellations after people, do you think we can lobby the National Hurricane Center to get the next "K" hurricane officially named after Kalina?

I assume the Kalashnikovs turned up OK? Been quiet since she 'BoG'ged off...

 

Last word was she was rebuilding her hard drive or something...
