What you need cal is a night out in London.

Is this about me?

I loved MW2. I sucked but it was amazing. I remembered one of my acheivements was unlocking akimbo UMP45s. It took me ages and I told my brother and he was like, "seriously, that you took all afternoon and you only need 40 kills?". I'd be happy if they re-released MW2 with no one man army/danger close noob tubes. Maps were brilliant.

I applied for a Marketing apprenticeship two years ago. The job application made it sound like a good starting job. I'm like you. I feel like if I can get my foot in the door then hard work and my lovable character will progress me. It promised me a starting salary of £20,000 and a starting block for a long and fruitful career. I went for my interview and the job was actually going round East Kilbride (which is a sucky town outside Glasgow), knocking on doors, trying to sign people up to charitys. I was shown around by a 17 year old girl who had her best week the week before because she made just over £100 in commission. There was no pay. Your pay was commission. I turned the job down.

Right, the problem with I find with trying to give advice with things like this are how one direction that works for one could be a disaster for someone else. Here's what I did anyway... I went to university. I didn't know what I wanted to do when I left school and university seemed the easy choice. I did 4 years and walked away with an Honours Degree in Computer Science. There was no jobs out there for me when I left. None. They all wanted experience and everyone mentions that catch 22, how can you get experience if no one wants to give you a chance in the first place? I went home and got a job in a call centre just to keep me going. Within a month I was moved to a team lead role and I stayed there for 1 and half years. I then got an interview to for a programming job in a large bank in Scotland. I got that and I've been working there for just over 2 years (and enjoying it). University worked out for me because it did give me that degree that helped me get an interview but it gave me a lot more. I was incredibly shy at 18 and had very little confidence. Uni was where I felt that all change and I'm feeling the benefits of that experience more now than the 4 years of knowledge they tried to stuff down my throat. I don't think I would have as good a job just now had I left school at 18 and did a trade (most people I know go in to a trade). But that's just me. I hated actually going to uni, I skived and I'm surprised I passed but it helped me so much. I don't envy you. I hated that decision and in hindsight, I think I made the right decision. Scotland helps you take that uni risk because, unlike England, it doesn't charge you ridiculous fees. You can take a chance on it, and most do. I know a lot who have tried and failed in the first year and it's not a huge issue. They weren't interested so they wasted a year (and may have learned some life lessons and not ended up with a ridiculous fee at the end). I guess my point is, because I think I'm rambling a bit, is that my story is pretty irrelevant to you and one of the hardest choices you'll ever have to make. If you don't want to go to uni, don't. If you want to go in to marketing, try and find an apprenticeship. Look for open college courses. E-mail companies and ask them what they look for in candidates and any recommendations they might have for you. You seemed to have a good attitude. I know plenty of people who didn't even want to face up to this, or went to uni because their parents wanted them too, or where quite happy to sponge of their parents. Your attitude puts you a step ahead of a lot of people your age. Good luck with what you decide to do, loads of people on here will have better advice than me.

I loved the alfa peace, the 6 wheeled G-Wagon, the Caterham but they need to stop with the stuff that isn't funny. Ie the pizza and the table cloth. I just find that they're still trying too hard. 90% of the show was brilliant. Jack Whiteall was good fun.

I think the real crime here is she used Twitter only. I'd have had a new Facebook update, WhatsApp'd all my friends, sent a SnapChat of my bloody neck, tried to complete Flappy Birds one more time and got a vlog on YouTube. She's a rubbish youngun.

Eugh, I had money on a draw.

I'm taking a bit of a break from gaming. Work has been busy lately, haven't been in the mood to game. Plus my headset is now broken. Meh, Stretch is sending me the shitty mic that came with his PS4 <3 so I'll catch you guys when that comes. Unrelated, I really wish the PS4 had Titanfall.

It means you like me the most. My headset is broken. Shite.

Impressive you can understand him Rush. Not even his own mother can.

Welcome man. I'm TigerBurge's favourite.

City are definitely in this. The difference in quality between City's centre backs, Kompany versus Demechelis/Lescott is staggering.

Absolutely. Except Diddums.

Many times. When it loses power and I jiggle the cable to get it back on, I hear sound but my mic shows as not working. To get it to work I turn on and off and then it works again.

I'm confused.

Funnily enough, I didn't throw them. They've been well taken care of. I was getting loss of hearing in one cup last week, sorted itself out for a bit. Loose cables are a bitch. Like you Dave. I've opened the ticket with them. I'll see what they reply with then I'll phone.

Tronic44 isn't David. His name is Ken.

I've opened up a ticket with Tritton to try and fix this but today my headset started an issue where it would go off randomly. It seems like a loose cable somewhere because if I jiggle about the cable that goes in to volume control at the top, it randomly goes off and on. If I can jiggle it on, and then don't move an inch then I can use the headset but if I move to, let's say, breath, then it goes off. I know you've had an issue with your headset Dave, hopefully Tritton can fix it. Annoying anyway, they're only 15 or so months old.

Really good episode.

You would save a lot of cast resin if you did Dylan's head. That thing is tiny.

That may just one of the coolest things I've ever seen. Do my head, do my head.
