Diet beverages that help you get fatter? I see, habits die hard.
And about the mosquitoes - there are probably technogenic ponds somewhere nearby. That, or a small swamp. They're anywhere.

I declined an offer for a job opportunity at EA today. It was for a Localization Tester. It would be for either 2 or 3 months over the summer. I would have to move to Madrid. They would pay about €1285,- per month. I would be required to work overtime without getting paid for it. Instead I would get time off for the hours that I worked extra, but I would have to take them off within the 2 or 3 month contract period. Sorry guys but that is just extortion. You'd think that for someone who possesses the right qualifications for the job, one of which is being a high level native speaker of a language that is not very widespread, and who is willing to move to another country for it they'd at least offer a decent salary and perhaps more than a 3 month contract.

So they want a British man to test Dutch localisation in a Spanish city? Sounds like they have a few things arse backwards. That said, I am making the assumption that you are a Brit in origin. |

Dunno, I suppose it's just the impression I got from those posts I've read, no actual logical reasoning behind it. Maybe the love for Whisky? Meh.

Damn,you are British, why the hell have I been studying Dutch for a year and hanging out in Netherlands so much?  It was like slave labor pay and then expect you to move there for a few months on your own dime to do it. Too bad, could have been cool.  |

Diet beverages that help you get fatter? I see, habits die hard. And about the mosquitoes - there are probably technogenic ponds somewhere nearby. That, or a small swamp. They're anywhere. Dude, did you just call me FAT?  |

Next time you want an adventure, come to us in Chelyabinsk. Ever heard of radon springs? They are radioactive. Radiation in safe doses invigorates and helps you live longer and stay younger. Even if you are a teenager (it just invigorates you and slows down your apoptosis by killing any weak/wrongly copied cells). Anyway, that's if you use radon springs. In our city you can take a shower and get three times th effect - for free! Chelyabinsk. The city where vigour is measured in rentgen.  (it's a good thing that I don't work in an art department) |

Dude, did you just call me FAT? Nope, I said you probably WILL get FAT if you keep drinking that CRAP due to its sugar replacements which stimulate fat accumulation and cans' inner coating that introduce errors to metabolism. I'm not your boyfriend. I'm not even your friend. That's why I can care for you in ways they can't. |
