How can I take a screenshot from a Samsung mini. Some of my mother's recent texts to me need to be immortalised. I have a job interview at ten (greggs). It's nearly the weekend! !

Put it in your pocket

At some point you'll probably press the right button to screenshot it. I seem to manage it often enough...

Alternatively...

Good luck with your interview!

Did you know they have a 24 hour Greggs in Derby?

I watched The Perks Of Being A Wallflower last night and I cried. It's lovely. Should probably read the book too.

Booked my trip to Paris in May. £40 return!

- £40!
  
  I just booked a trip to Paris in May for my gf's birthday present. Two Eurostar returns plus a hotel and it's ten times that... though I've picked perfect weekend times rather than annoying midweek ones, so I guess I deserve it.

  - a few of my friends have a gig there
    
    so they've organised a coach. £40 is just travel costs, mind. Still need to find somewhere to crash. In fact, if you know any cheaps places to stay let me know. When in May are you going?

  - Ours cost about £660 for return travel and a 4 star hotel near the eiffel tower.
    
    Paris is fucking brilliant though.

    - That makes me feel a bit better.
      
      Our hotel has a great location in the Latin Quarter so was quite pleased with that. Still a lot of money though - I stuck it all on my shiny new credit card, and am waking up in cold sweats about what I've done and paying it off :(

      - I didn't find I spent too much when I was there though!
        
        How old are you again? Most attractions are discounted for under 25 year olds, you just need to show EU ID.
        
        We didn't really go out for fancy dinners or anything like that though as its not really our thing, just one trip to Laduree for lunch where we spent about 80 Euro.

        I'm 25, she's 26 on Friday.
        
        Don't know if we'll want to do many big attractions, she went a few years ago but I haven't been for years, just want to have a good wander really. Sure we'll find somewhere reasonable for dinner, though Paris is notorious for being overpriced.

  - I'd quite fancy going on the Eurostar, however...
    
    a) I have no desire to go to France or Belgium
    
    b) Whenever I look it seems very expensive
    
    Although I was looking at the Deutsche Bahn site and it was cheaper to get a ticket through to Berlin from them (which involves the Eurostar to Brussels) than it was for the Eurostar to Brussels.

    - you can go from Folkestone to Calais
      
      if you drive. I think it's about £120 return.

      - I've been through the tunnel when we went to Paris on a school trip
        
        I'd be more interested in the whizzing through Kent and France at 180mph than the 20 minutes of darkness between.
        
        £120 is very much in that bracket of 'very expensive' (and petrol and all that). Can fly there and back for much less. Wouldn't mind going on a road trip at some point in the future though, maybe wait until I've got a car more suitable for that kind of thing

- Extract from the Derby Telegraph:
  
  - PASTIES and cakes could be sold to revellers until 4.30am after a shop applied for a late licence.
  
  Does anyone outside of the NUJ use the word ''revellers'' ?

You can get screenshot apps from the Play store.

Minor career suicide aside, I had a good night. Although I have discovered that port makes me ridiculously farty. Honestly, it was like waking up in a stable this morning.

I would quite like to go home, please. And now I'm off to make a thread.

I might be put on gardening leave. I just need to hand over my work today and fingers crossed, I'll get 3 weeks paid leave!

      wouldn't it be more cost-effective to just find the person work in other departments?

      - I don't really know
        
        I suppose there is no point having someone knocking about doing hardly any work and turning up late, possibly distracting/hindering others from working. But they have to legally pay them until the end of their leave.

Part of it was a 2-day log of everything the student ate and what activities they did for the day.

One of them reckons he managed 150 minutes of sexual activity across the 2 days. LAD/has a wanking problem.

hi everyone

i got 75 on an essay i wrote a few weeks ago, which i'm pretty happy with. especially as when i write essays i tend to go down thought paths that could either go very right or very wrong, rather than just sticking to the obvious and pitching for a middling mark. it does seem to keep paying off for me, though, so that's nice.

now I have loads more work to do and then I gotta go make some cardboard trellises.
