That's because it's eurovision and it is just trash music. 

In years long gone there have been a meagre handful of good songs but they are all roughly the same generic pop trash with the odd mix of whatever nations folk music.

I like Eurovision - sure, lots of the songs are terrible or average, this year's contest had lots of average songs

 

But I really liked the Belgian entry, it was very modern sounding and I think the tone of her voice suited it quite well

And then of course, you have the opposite end of the scale with the Spanish entry which made me want to dance off of a cliff

saw a female Asian police officer, give me some of that sweet sweet nightstick and pepper spray

i hate how we have to have such generic losers at eurovision, for **** sake we have some amazing unique bands of every genre but we go for these generic one trick pony pop acts

That's what eurovision is....cheesy,poppy,popular,made for mass consumption, revenue for the phone co's and tv networks. It's never been about quality or substance,and it give the europhiles a chance to be racist against each other by not voting for countries they really hate.Although for the life of me I still do not get why Australia is in the "competition" and why the silly idiots in europe that voted for us !

You also seem to make lots of female friends who don't think of you in a sexual boyfriend type way

out of interest what is your view on soft furnishings and lamps? Are you into musicals at all?

 

I am joking btw

I like musicals

Phantom of the Opera is good - got to see Fiddler on the Roof last year in Melbourne which was awesome

 

But yeah I try to have a wide circle of... acquaintances and friends for several reasons - and I am currently figuring out how things are with a few girls from work who seem nice

Work and girls don't mix generally, not if you like your job anyway.......

Yeah, but losing New Zealand and gaining the French cheese eating surrender monkeys  as a neigbour is not a gain.

Few weeks ago, we had a chance to hear speeches from several partners at a training session with all the new graduate starters. A recurring theme was, "Don't laugh at this - but your future partner, and I don't mean 'Partner' as in 'Partner of the Firm', is probably in this room".

Another one was like, "You spend what... 70% of your waking hours at work? Why wouldn't you find someone here?"

Another was like, "If you are successful fishing from the company pool, you join a very long list of people - just in this team - to do so"

 

Anyway, turns out another one of the girls already has a boyfriend so... yeah - figuring out how things are with a third girl who is... super hot

Sexual harassment lawsuit incoming.

I asked a senior, she said, "It's only sexual harassment if you keep asking them out" and then she nodded as if to agree with herself

wtf dude.

What sort of culture are these jokers trying to create?

I'm not saying people at work don't hook up, but you don't laugh about "fishing from the company pool" in a speech to a bunch of grads!

******* weird.

I can't recall, is this a finance firm, or consultancy or something? 

[thefairy]

There is a reason why the relationship thread no longer exist because of your bullshit stories Unlimited and you refusing to listen to good advice.

Don't spread your cancer here on the off topic thread.

Why don't you try going on tumblr or write a blog.

Oh the fishing comment was from one of the managers to just us in the team - the rest were partners

 

It's a professional services firm
