I felt the same with Insidious. Great build-up but rubbish and quite hurried ending - kinda like the last couple of Stephen King books I read.
The loud ass speakers putting everyone into cardiac arrest with the slightest creek of a door in the movie.
Save my soul I'm going to be shitting myself.
I ain't smoked weed since i was over in the Netherlands.

Watching ghosty films with headphones on your own is really unnerving.
I hardly watch any horror films as I prefer thrillers, last ones I saw in the cinema were Saw 3 and Land of the Dead. Does Cabin in the Woods count? Lots of great films are coming out very soon though. Really excited to see the following:
Skyfall
Argo
The Man with the Iron Fists
Django "fucking" Unchained
Les Miserables
Cloud Atlas

Yeah I've been looking forward to Les Mis ever since it was announced. My mate is in it too, one of the whores! Should be amazing.
Not sure what you mean by that. Like what they'll pay you every month? I don't think so. They only told me the annual salary sum - excluding tax - after the interview stage so the only way I found what I got every month was when my first salary came along...I was too lazy to calculate it beforehand.
Well they told me the Annual Salary, but then a different person told me i'd get 44% shift allowance. I don't know if it's on top of the Salary i was told, or part of it. Obviously i'm hoping for the former.
Easy way is to just wait and see i guess
Oh right! I think shift allowance might be a fancy term for overtime pay in case they make you work crazy hours. That would definitely be on top of the salary but don't take my word for it until another gaffer confirms that.
For me, I was told both the basic salary and the total with shift allowance (15%). I guess it differs from job to job, but I'd recommend that you ask.
That's quite a nice shift pattern. Mine is 4 on, 6 off, 4 nights, 4 off, 3 days, 3 nights, 4 off. Luckily I've managed to get into a pattern where my sleep isn't affected too much. Doing any nights, or is it just days?
That's pretty cool too. It will be 3 days, 2 nights then 5 off. Followed by 2 days, 2 nights then 4 off. I've worked shifts before, but only ever 8 hours and weekdays, so this should be pretty interesting.
You just have to keep yourself occupied on my shifts, be that watch films, play games, read etc. on the night shifts, else you run the risk of falling asleep quite easily.
It's not too bad, but it sucks when most of your friends work mon-fri and plan good stuff on weekends when you're working.

Did you guys know when Americans say "peanut butter and jelly", they actually mean peanut butt and jam?
My mind is blown.
All these years I was led to believe they were people out there who actually put jelly into their toast

zomg, just found a website where I can download a crap-ton of DOS Big Blue Disks (Abandonware is legal to talk about here right?). My dad had the magazine subscription so I used to play the games that came on those huge black floppy disks when I was little. Gonna have a nostalgic breakdown when I get home.

Jello is jelly, and jelly is jam. Because the English language isn't convoluted enough, apparently

Nah I've always known that in America jam is called jelly, and jelly is called jello. Comes from watching so much American tv and films as a kid.

I've ingested this, it's very interesting. Man, I've been craving peanut butter on toast all day since reading the PB thread!
aww Dave! Chunky Peanut Butter + Strawberry Jam = one amazing piece. You gotta try it at least once.
I learned something new today.

Don't worry, I vaguely remember the show. You're right it was shit. Pokemon 4ever.

Same and I am old. Was during my lazy days where I didn't want to go outside.
That's the only way I liked to eat the stuff. Makes the peanut butter extra sticky and the warmth of the toast goes well with it. Always had crunchy.

I've never liked peanut butter. Now cheese and jam, that's a sandwich.

Oh, phew. Damn shorty, making me feel like a loon with his Cheryl gifs.
Wow, I thought I was the only one. I was going to post that but avoided it in case I got scolded with "what the fuck is wrong with you" posts again. Cheese spread or singles? always spread for me. Mixes so well!
My bad
If it helps, I felt kinda old not knowing what that show was. I'm still coming to terms with the fact that this is more than 10 years old.It isn't, trust me.
Peanut butter and strawberry jam in a sandwich just works. It's a fabulous comfort sandwich.

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
The smell of peanut butter has always given me the boke.
I can't eat nuts. I'm not allergic to them, but if I eat them I will instantly throw up. I've had this response since I was a kid, and back in the day my sister used to make peanut butter sandwiches and then chase me with the tub trying to make me sick.
