Unfortunately, Tuesdays are the only free days at the moment, so you're in for a long wait I'm afraid.........

Because there's Scouts. You can't do Thursdays either though can you? Don't you have Sailing then?

I can't do Tuesdays either (don't think I've mentioned); I have Guides then.

Yes, but Sailing's at like half 6.
Tuesdays I've got to help my mum out at beavers, have computerprogrammingclub (all one word), and a load of other stuff, ASWELL as scoutrs.

Let's just assume no-one will remind you. How terrible. Someone else must do it.

Actually I just don't want Sophie to give you all a shit recap, I'm being nice

Jo!

I will do a good recap and if I need any help (if I do, I won't need much) then I shall ask you to show me what to do for the part I am not sure on. So I will do it. Only, please remind me Joseph! By email or speech or anything. I don't care. I probably will remember anyway. Just to make sure I've remembered, though.
Well, okay, if anyone is quite desparate (let's say, more than 7 out of 10, 10 being desparate), I'll let them do the recap only because I am slightly busy then. If no one is that desparate, though, I will have time to do it.

As I've said a few times already, I'm away during finals week, so unless you want the semi-final recaps delayed by 3-4 days, I think 1 or 2 new recappers for those days might be necessary.

Well, Thomas has already said yes to June 1, so June 2 is now needed.

You should know by now, Ryan, that I'm enemies with old Google. I fell out with him years ago, you know. It all started when...:
I wanted to send an email to my foreign relatives. I used Google Translate for a couple of words I was unsure on. (Okay, maybe most of the email then. But not all of it, honest!) It happened to get a word wrong - I couyld tell it was incorrect even though I didn't know what was right. Google is used so much that no one would expect to get only one word wrong therefore it is overrated so much. The thing I really don't understand is that hardly anyone use anything but Google; they are being conned, but the don't know it! If someone is using Google Translate and doesn't notice that a word is wrong, then it won't be perfect! (I am a bit of a perfectionist, you may already know.) Although I will not feel sorry for them, because they should - in the first place - have had enough sense to try out a different search engine (or browser, etc). Some people these days, so silly and dumb. Why they are, well, that's scientists' jobs. I hope now, Ryan (and of course any other innocent people on here); I have taught you a very valueable lesson right now, right here, right...right! I do encourage people to use Norton, Mozilla Firefox or Bing. You must remember that Google, and even Google Chrome - which sounds good, brand new and "faashionable" in the cool-computer-sense - are not conners, but mistake-ers...yes, sly mistakers. As I said, Google is ever so very highly overrated, you see.
You may have guessed, but you have been - once again - conned by a ten-year-old! Ha! I bet you didn't even realise that for one second, did you, hey?!

Soph K · Post by **Soph K** » Thu May 19, 2011 7:02 pm

Looked it up on BING and it said that FTFY means; fixed that for you. Oh! That all makes sense! and of course yes of course i wouldve looked it up even if no one had told me...yes yes yes why wouldnt i...im very smart and...and stuff...yes..Fixed That For You! ...Hm.
