Tangent's so pleased with herself that 3rd person is required! First ever job interview = first ever job! Yes! Moneys for Tfs!! Only part time for Xmas, but it looks super fun! Have to work late on a Friday though, but still.

Even badly timed Postal srikes cannot damage Tangents good mood!

Omg nooooooooooooo. One Transformer I've been trying to get for years is on the way and the Royal Mail decides to have a paddy. It better not get lost in the backlog. T.T

Forget Hasbro, the Royal Mail has made me truly disgruntled.

I go offline for 2 days, and you talk about crossbows?? I LOVE SHOOTING CROSSBOWS!!!


Anyhoo, got meself the last 08BB in woolies today. Huzzah!

Seriously, this is an addiction. It's worse than crack cocaine. But, oh the fun.

Anyhoo, gonna have fun opening him up later and 'posing' him with Barricade.


And G2. ZOMG! It's an awesome story. Especially when the music you have playing changes it's tone to suit the book by itself! It truly adds to the whole atmosphere of the story when you don't have to change the music yourself. Go Nightwish!

Nice avatar & quote Tekka! Makes me want to reload SW:KotOR on my PC again (instead of trying out Rappelz...)

Right up there with talking to yourself that one...

Congrats on the job though.

what the hell is it with the royal mail? all we seem to be hearing for the past couple of years is that they'll be striking if this isnt resolved, or if that doesnt get sorted!

Greetings, ODB crew! Quick question -- are any of you guys still looking for those oversized WST KOs? I ended up making a quick run to the local Big Lots and was able to snag two extra Prowls and three Red Alerts (two red, one blue), if y'all would be interested in the lot.

I'll probably be fairly busy during the next week and a half or so -- that is, too busy to box 'em up and lug 'em to the post office, and PM responses may be a bit delayed, so there's no rush! -- but feel free to talk it over and have a representative for the crew shoot me a PM or something. Thanks!

We now return you to your regularly scheduled British disgruntledness.

Sombody should do something along these lines about them.

They're just as deserving as LRT.

Congrats on the job Tangent.


Now, 08 BB is awesmomesauceness. I love the guy. Him and cl BB are gonna gang up on Barricade. Glad I picked him up. Though I feel he should have his black stripes continue along his roof. I'm glad people here convinced me to get one more tf.

I think I'll put one more on my to get list. The Chaos Bringer himself, Armada Unicron. To be got some years down the line.


That's a class song waaaaghlord. Someone should make a song for them. My postie doesn't even deserve a raise, he folds all the small letters! Yet the large letters he gets through no problem. I feel sorry for anyone who is expecting tf goodness.

What's next on the list? Coz, those two are pretty much covered here

Thanks, I'v never had a job before, it will be 'an experience'

Robo-Chugster sorry to hear that man.

Congrats Tangent!

Well, nothing to say actually...

Congrats on the job Tangent, hope you enjoy it. I remember my first job like it was yesterday - selling bikes at Toys R Us (also at christmas). T'was alright, but very boring and annoying. Being stood around for 10 hours all day is not good

Hmmm, that dosnt sound very fun at all....

I'm working at bents. A garden centre, dun dun dun! BUT they have massive christmas displays and about 30 massive differnt xmas trees, and my job is to decorate them, EVERY DAY! Should be wacky fun! I have to help customers though, which I might fail at, have to wait and see.

All the best with the job Tangent

The hardest part of dealing with customers is staying calm when they do something stupid or get annoyed and angry with you for something that is beyond your control. Most customers are just fine as long as you're polite.

Edit while I remember: My Asda (i work there) had a "Real Movie Voice" Voice Changer Helmet. Don't recall hearing about them in the UK before.

Thanks guys!

I will do my best to be nice to customers, Im a fairly nice person, if that dosnt work I will find somewhere to hide from them.

ahh christmas, ive some how survived the last 4 xmas at virgin, im in the stockroom this year, with a mate of mine helping me out, hes a tf nut to so it should be good. not lookign forward to 60 or so boxes a day though

Where do you work in Asda? Im on the kiosk/customer service desk at Morrisons.

I find you are pretty correct wit hthe assesment of customers, though Im pretty good at keeping my cool with customers. Its my poor coleiges who get the brunt of my anger afterwards, but they have all learnt how to deal with me when Im in a mood.

As for the voice changer, the real movie one's been around in the uk for a while. Ive seen it in TrU and Woolies.

Talkin' to folks that you don't really know on the tinterweb and thinking it's a social life would probably rank quite highly. Ah, wait a minute...

Yer damn right postal strikes suck, i have a trade to fulfil on the Carbombya forum and can't get Alt Wheeljack posted to Tinglingsensation, plus i am eagerly (and when i say that, sitting perched on the roof waiting to jump on the postman) awaiting the arrival of Superlink Laserwave, Shockfleet and Megazarak (misb's).

Also, yes, the Glasgow School of Art is one of the best art universities in Britain, world renowned. However quite difficult to get into but then again so was Cumbria Insitute of the Arts (Carlisle) and i got in there (so you'll get in no problem then matey) . Sometimes things just go pear-shaped but i shall bounce back.

on a side note....i may have myself a Micron Legend Magna Convoy Set as of next week
