Cloudy's Cafe, a conversation zone, May 24, 2005

the previous thread is here:

Cloudy's Cafe

Come in, be welcome, be comfortable, be yourself

Welcome to Cloudy's Cafe, a place to have a cup of coffee or a good
darjeeling and the finest in conversation and camaraderie.

The proprietor asks that you follow a few simple guidelines:

this is a real conversation zone, not a role-play zone

* no flaming; if you disagree with a viewpoint expressed by any patron, please do so in a civil manner

* any topic is fair game, but keep posts to the standards that Ziroc has set for the entire forum, please (ie: foul language is not appropriate and things should be suitable for all audiences)
-a side note from Cloudy: I see this as a place for those short
conversations about a new baby or the latest soccer fiasco, not for things that are big enough to warrant their own threads, by all means give those things the space they need and post separately!

* Please, no one word or smiley posts (Ziroc has declared them 'real spam' and the proprietor doesn't want the reputuation of "good spam" to suffer!)

* do feel free to be serious or silly and enjoy the company of others while you are here. By all means POST if you have something to say, even to start another topic , we can handle multiple chats, we're a CAFE!!! But be courteous and don't disrupt a conversation just to disrupt it.

Come on in! The bar is stocked with coffees, teas, juices and waters from around the world. And purple napkins, of course!

The lighting is low, the golden oak counters and tables glow with inviting warmth. Near the window, the lighting is brighter, as comfy, plush leather armchairs wait for those who'd like to read a book while relaxing to music or just lazily watch the world go by.

PLEASE NOTE

This is a modified reminder that I've posted before in reply to someone asking "can we spam the cafe". It still holds true, so I'm going to repeat it periodically for anyone who hasn't seen it.

Read the first post of the thread, it's NOT a spam zone. If you want to discuss you grades, a problem with a teacher,the weather, your neighbor's new car etc.....etc.. (real life conversations) this is the place. I don't mind a SMALL amount of spam but when the Cafe gets to be 8 pages in one day and it's all one liner pure spam, I have to ask people not to do it because most of the members who would come to talk about their day or things that they want advice or sympathy or cheers on, will not post in that atmosphere. I want you to be comfy here, but not at the expense of other members.

So the answer is NO, I don't want to see page after page of roleplay spam or one liner spamfests that could be done on msn or aim etc. because our goal is to TALK WITH one another , not fill up a cafe in five hours.

First post, and my first time getting the first post too, better add a bit more

All's went well so far today, bit boring though, but only 3 more days left at school! Woo hoo!

Got told I have a GCSE Maths Exam at the end of June - not good, but I'll try my best!

My work experience got cancelled! I was supposed to go to a good leisure centre but somehow it fell though. The teacher tried to make me do some kind of office work, but if I want to be bored out of my head and not get paid I'd rather come to school

My friends mum might be able to get me a place at college (to work for work experience) helping maintain the computers for the campus, etc.

Hows things with everyone else?

Too bad about them cancelling your work on you. I hope you can get that other position as it never hurts to have a little experience when you finally hit the world of paychecks and bosses!

Had exam dutch today and it was really hard. Looking at the answers I think I might just have gathered enough points though [img]smile.gif[/img] The only goal I had was getting a 6 on my final list.

Had chemistry yesterday. Could have gone better too but I think I have high enough mark for it too to still have 8 average so that's fine.

Glad your exams went well Philip, hope you pass.

I hope so too Cloudy - I would have done the office work, but my mum (who works in an office) said I would be bored senseless. She would rather be not do any at all than be bored for a week.

I was trying to make them let me stay off school for the week. My work experience can be gaming all week

My mum finally got in touch with Apple about my broken iPod. They are sending a box in 2 to 3 days. Then I put all the stuff in the box, send it back, and hopefully it gets fixed or I get a new iPod!

I miss listening to my songs on the go *sigh*

Well I'm off to play WoW and avoid doing my homework, ttyl all!

Thanks [img]smile.gif[/img]

Hope I'll pass too cause Dutch was the only subject I have to worry about. For the other subjects it's kind of hard to fail luckily. Though I want to study medicines so I need my marks as high as possible.

English thursday. Shouldn't be too hard. Then only fun subjects (maths, bio and physics) and ancient Greek but that's not really important for my average for medicines.

Good evning guys. I just realised that I haven't posted on IW for a long long time. Anyway shcool is coming to it's end. I have a sprained ankle but it's getting better. I still have some exams (3 I think) to pass and I am finished.

Bah, I have my final essay to finish... I haven't finished it completely, and right now I'm basically trying to bluff a bit because I'm all out of ideas. And it should be handed in tomorrow. Thankfully they didn't say what time, so I'm guessing they'll get my essay tomorrow at 11:59 pm.

I have a free period at school... in which I was planning to do my Japanese hwk. That fell through, with my Japanese stuff at home... D'oh!
