I walked past Pauls on the weekend, was wondering when they were wrapping everything up.

Sorry to hear have you got anything lined up yet?

Tomorrow is my last day.

Just finished off editing a news article about the Titanic and Lusitania for uni. Need a headline. I can only think of "HOLY SHIP!" but i think that might be a bit too far

KGO!

Ship Just Got Real?

Whats the article about?

If i recall correctly both ships sank, in similar manners. The lusitania sank in 1915 and has a conspiracy theory revolving around a government cover up. (I remember that much from history).

Really need to know more about it to make better suggestions man.

[Ben]

Its just a short story about how they both sunk and how many people died. Titanic of course is a iceberg and Lusitania got torpedo'd by the germans because they were in "their" water.

It's not really about the story, it was about the editing. Had to remove redundant words, americanism and fix grammar etc. Also had to make it from 1200 words down to 800. I'm at 798 but no headline yet haha

I was thinking

"knot again!"
"Ships goin' down" (Might be too far again)
and my journalist father that has no idea because he works for a radio station and doesn't do headlines thought of
"Eyes on the road Rhonda" Was a good laugh though.

798? Do you think the teacher would check that you have exactly 800? I think that's close enough for government work! Maybe just add 2 more simple filler words lol

If I was you I'd be trying to bring attention to that era and the common feelings of the time and poke some fun at that.

Playing on the power of the ocean liner in that period of time. Both stood tall as such due to the stern raising out of the water. Ill keep thinking.

And didn't the ship go down off the coast of england somewhere? Due to it being in the German exclusion zone or something?

All the useless **** I remember.

You bet your sweet bippy she's checking it. Its computer submitted. We will get marked down. Finds all plagiarism through past student work, internet of course, finds all errors in grammar and of course gives you the word count. They're very very serious when it comes to submitting things. We have to hard copy submit with a date stamp and everything as well. One minute late your farked!

I have no idea, it didn't go into that much detail. Was just about the actual writing haha. I took no notice of the story. But i'm still brewing a headline. Want a unique one rather than the old boring one.

I have been converted to working in rwd cars. Seriously. We destroyed something in my mates 86 on mount glorious on Friday night. Drove 40kms in 4th. Today it wouldn't even select neutral... Teeth were missing everywhere when we opened it haha. We have no idea how we got it home. Anyway it took us from 3-10 pm to remove old box, open it up, laugh at its insides, drive 30 mins each way, pickup a new box,.go to the bp servo who wanted $27/L for gearbox oil, drive to shell, got 16L for $60 as they were clearing it out! Bargain! Went and had maccas and chilled and checked out the new 86 in the carpark for 40minutes. Came home swapped a few parts over, bolted Jr back together and cleaned our the new box with kero and drained refilled and drained again. Checked rear diff... Took it for a drive.


Compared to hours just trying to remove cv shafts on a fwd I'm sold.
