There I was, looking up something boring on the internet during Computing, when I overheard the following conversation:
1: " You get paid £240 a week for working in Tesco's? I only get £170."
2: (in sarcastic voice)"You should work harder". ANyway, I'm saving up to buy an Xbox.
1: "Yeah, get the Xbox. Have you seen the graphics on it, man?"
(NOTE: boy 3 really did say the word "man")
2: "Yeah, they're incredible. You also get a 10% discount if you buy it from Tescos, so it's only £144 there."
3: "Have you thought about getting a PS2? The games are immense."
2: "I heard you could steal poilce helicopters and motorbikes in Vice City."
3: "That's right."
1: "Noooooo, don't get a PS2. And don't get the Gamecube - it's crap. My mate has one and I played on it for a while - it's not worth it. You have to spend extra on a memory card as well; the Xbox doesn't need one, and you get two free games with it."
2: "I've already decided to get an Xbox; I should be able to buy it tomorrow when I get paid."
The conversation then went onto downloading the latest Harry Potter film for three hours on Kazaa, only not to get it when the file turned out to be duff, and passing driving tests before boy 1 asks if anyone has seen 28 Days Later. He then went on to say Resident Evil (the film) was great. Go figure.

Why didn't you correct them? Hell knows I would.

LINE 4 - (NOTE: boy 1 really did say the word "man")
It should be less confusing now.

I don't really talk to them, so I can't be bothered. However, I do have two Goth friends who wanted to get the Xbox for Xmas, and I did try to change their purchasing ways. Unfortunately, as with all things opposing Microsoft, I failed - his parents has already bought the Xbox for him.

Ah good ol' Computing lessons. :) However, my lesson isn't quite so sociable, if you will. Someone programmed a...program dubbed Netsend, which is basically an instant messaging service, which sends messages over the network.
So, conversations usually depend on this system in order to be carried out. However, you need to know the number of the workstation that user is at, often ending up in some form of confused mess. MOST annoying. Stupid dorks... :)
