What shall your weekend bring?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

As in one sheet of lasagna not one portion you melt.

:D

What an exchange.

[Giggles]

One Mass down, one to go.

I'm trying not to think about the musical.

It really should be lasagni.

Aren't they pronounced the same? Bloody fascists.

Do you need a VPN if you use Tor?
I don't use one.

Halfway through the musical. Nearly there, it's been a rough road.

Got a dog

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Looks more like a pillow.

[Shindig]

I had to look at that for way too long to realise s/he was sleeping.

[Offshore Toon]

Cute dog. What breed? Is it a puppy? Hard to tell as its just a ball of fur.

[leedsrevolution]

8 week Lhasa Apso.

[Offshore Toon]

Will it look like this eventually?

[leedsrevolution]

Yeah I think so. Gona look like a right wanker walking it around lol.

[Spikey M]

Fucking hell :D

[Giggles]

That's a dog to sit in a handbag.

[Disco]

You could have just cut your penis off instead.

[leedsrevolution]

She has a pink collar and looks adorable and you can all go fuck yourselves :D

[Spikey M]

Atleast shave its hair when it gets older. You can't walk that.

[Foe]

Atleast shave its hair when it gets older. You can't walk that.

Shave it all you want, it'll never look like a lab and be acceptable.

Just wear sunglasses and a high viz jacket and pretend it's a guide dog.

[leedsrevolution]

Referred to in Tibet as Apso Seng Kyi, which can be translated as "Bearded Lion Dog", the Lhasa's primary function was that of a household sentinel, guarding the homes of Tibetan nobility and Buddhist monasteries, particularly in or near the sacred city of Lhasa. The large Tibetan Mastiffs guarded the monasteries' entrances, but the keen hearing and sharp bark of the Lhasa Apso served to warn residents by acting like a burglar alarm if an intruder happened to get past the exterior guards.

It was believed that the bodies of the Lhasa Apsos could be entered by souls of deceased lamas while they awaited rebirth into a new body. Lhasas in Tibet were never sold. The only way a person could get one was as a gift.[9]

Lion dog / dead lama souls. Fucking metal.

[niko_cee]

Better if it was dead llama souls.

[leedsrevolution]

Better if it was dead llama souls.

I actually got really confused at first and actually thought it meant Llama.

Next planned purchase if confirmed.

[Lewis]

Is that Tyson Fury?

[igor_balis]

I went to watch wrestling last night which was far more fun than I expected. The audience was even more weird than I expected though.

Was gonna go see my dad today cus it has been a while, but he's suggested I come tomorrow evening instead so we can watch the football. I'm really worried about his mental state, he's talking about writing a philosophy book. About how time is a human construct. Problem is that he's not nearly as smart as he thinks he is, and he needs to spend time around people to keep himself grounded.

He's spent the last year or so since his stroke basically just dicking around on his own in his (government funded obviously) flat, and I think the time to himself has made him go a bit nuts, and he's convinced himself he's got an idea for a book that A) he's intellectually capable of writing, and B) is a unique and groundbreaking concept. Neither are true. I've been sent instructions to bring 100 sterling superkings, an A4 lined notepad, his Gormenghast DVD and some old mental philosophy book he gave me and told me to read years ago "to reference" for his book. Fucking hell, hopefully I can just steer conversation towards West Brom.

[Boydy]

:D

what

[Shindig]

I mean, at least he's got something to focus on.

[Mike]

Which wrestling? :cool2:

[Magic]

Foe is pregnant?

[igor_balis]

I mean, at least he's got something to focus on.

True, but my mother recently told me a story of how when he was doing his social work training, he'd just retreat to the basement on his own for hours on end. After a few weeks of barely seeing him she went down to check up on him, and he was apparently staring intensely at a single sock rested on top of one of those fold-up washing lines, and when my mum asked what he was looking at he said something like 'that's it, that's the answer. i've figured out the meaning of life'. Which was indeed in reference to the sock.

Perhaps the 12 hour a day van delivery job was the one thing keeping him sane all these years.

[igor_balis]

Which wrestling? :cool2:

Ring of Honor. It was really great. Surprising amount of Merse-bait grebo fitties to perve over as well, and a high enough proportion of freakazoids in the audience to feel like I'd almost be able to pull one of them.

[Pepe]

I bet it sells more copies than Lewis's book. :henn0rz:

[mugbull]

Tbf time is a human construct, so he's got you beat on the ingenuity. Let's see how it plays out though.

[Lewis]

I bet it sells more copies than Lewis's book. :henn0rz:

Amazon claims to be out of stock, which would explain why the publisher is ignoring my e-mails if the demand has crashed their office.

[Danny]

Assuming I found the right book, Amazon.com is claming its not been released yet

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

£90? Who the fuck is buying it for that price.

[Baz]

It's got a rocket on iirc.

[Smiffy]

Lewis? Book? What?!

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I've found his thesis though.

[Lewis]

£90? Who the fuck is buying it for that price.

They will probably sell about fifty copies to university libraries, so the prices have to be lol to make some pennies on each one. I am due six copies, but my arsehole mother seems to have promised a copy to everybody alive, so I (she) will probably end up buying half of them (although I get a fifty per cent discount).


Lewis? Book? What?!

My PhD thesis has been published as a book.

[igor_balis]

That's cool as fuck. Got any tips for daddy Igor?

So it's a yappy prick as well. Top purchase.

[leedsrevolution]

I never liked sleep anyway.

Buy some ear plugs. My mum's dog is half Jack Russell so its a proper yappy wanker.

Did you write 'Dr' on a lab coat for prancing about uni Lewis?

That's what I did when I was doing my thesis at uni.

'Dr Clark xoxo' got lots of respect in the lab.

Not leaving the house til Monday morning :cool:

Why weren't you posting about it then you dick. I've been replying to my own posts :mad: :(

Because when you post about college football you keep explaining stuff like whoever you're talking to is a mong. I was watching it when you were still playing with Lego.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Just finished a gay as shit 2,200 word assignment for 'Research Methods in English Language & Communication', christ I hate the module.

1,000 word essay on 'How have historians explained Britain’s successes in the wars of the long eighteenth century?' (how the fuck is that only 1000 words?) for Friday and a 1,500 word 'plan of an investigation' for the above bollocks research methods module for next Sunday.

Fun times.

I'll probably just sleep until 1pm tomorrow rather than do any work in preparation for the above two.

[Lewis]

That thousand word one sounds pretty pointless (and longer than you think for what is basically a literature review). Other than proving that you have done some reading, which you could do in an hour-long seminar, what do you learn from that?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fuck all.

We also had to do an annotated bibliography (couple of sentences on why it is useful for the essay) for it with at least five sources. I didn't read anything bar abstracts for each of my sources and managed a 65.

[Lewis]

I used to hate all of that explain your working out like you're thirteen research planning wank. What I do, mate... What I do is I read and then I write.

[Giggles]

Toy Show tonight :drool:

[Kikó]

Just the meet this weekend.

[7om]

I've spent the last two weekends hosting an old Chinese couple and showing them round DC and the like. So this weekend is going to be a complete slobfest on the couch in my pants.

[Spikey M]

Hows your (shit) dog these days leedsrevolution

[Shindig]

Overtime and two reviews to get done on the side. The agency consultants that got me this job were heading off on a night out. I said hi. And by that I mean one of them hugged me and I took a sly look at her tits. Great.

[leedsrevolution]

Hows your (shit) dog these days leedsrevolution

She's good, we've taught her "sit" "leave it" "stay" and "come here" in two weeks which I don't think is bad. Taking her for second set of jabs tomoz so get take her for walks soon.

[Queenslander]

Going to a Succulent and Cactus market this Arvo because I've turned into my dead Grandma. I actually do get a kick from it and I need to add some variety to my hobby garden (started keeping bonsai last year). This is one of those hobbies where I'm greatful for being in a relationship otherwise I'd probably feel like a massive creep driving 45 minutes to a select the perfect Succulent.

[Giggles]

Just remembered I've a Thai massage tomorrow.

[Queenslander]

Like you get in Thailand?

[Danny]

She gonna love you long time?

[Giggles]

Without the penis hopefully.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

$5?

[Queenslander]

Without the penis hopefully.

That can be hard with these new fancy surgerys. I've seen very confusing photos

[Disco]

Make sure it's not just a Tie massage because that would really not be worth it.

You lost your hair, mate, not your cock and balls.

[Baz]

Working tomorrow like a chump, but then Sunday will be spent ignoring the boxes of Christmas decorations and cracking on with season 9 of the X files.:drool:

[Disco]

9 is rubbish, wasn't it the one where Duchovny was sueing the production company?

[Giggles]

Make sure it's not just a Tie massage because that would really not be worth it.

Okay?

[Queenslander]

You lost your hair, mate, not your cock and balls.

:D

I guess part of me needs to not be so self deprecating.

[Disco]

Okay?

Bit of a sore shoulder but other than that I'm fine thanks.

[Giggles]

That was fucking sore. I'm near certain she was standing on me at one stage.

[Giggles]

I can hardly walk now (besides the gin).

[Shindig]

The town's packed with everyone because of the Christmas market. If I ever get elected mayor, I'm making sure this place never holds any events ever. "Oh, the medievelness is so quaint." is what I heard two tourists say as they got crushed in a back alley filled with Asian students.

[bruhnaldo]

going to see The 1975 tonight but i'm so fucking tired.

Barely feel like going.

[leedsrevolution]

It's the 1975, of course you don't want to fucking go.

[bruhnaldo]

For your information the show was fantastic and i'm glad i got the energy to go. :P

[Spammer]

Went to see Kate Tempest on Saturday night, which was really awesome.

[Offshore Toon]

Craig Charles is playing on Saturday, so might go to that if I get enough uni stuff done, which I probably won't. Leeds are visiting tomorrow night so got to work that. Hopefully they're not scumbags like some of the Villa fans were, but I imagine they will be. Should be in the home end anyway this time.

[Baz]

My Saturday will be spent wrapping presents while the missus is out all day. Will probably watch three football games too, although none of the 3PMs look any good - will just watch whichever ends up on my goals galore coupon - either Burnley/Bournemouth or Swansea/Sunderland, I'd imagine - and then watching boxing at night. Rock and roll.

[Giggles]

My weekend has started as I'm off tomorrow, but I should spend tomorrow tidying as I've 3 of the work crew over before the party Saturday night.

Should. But most likely I'll shove most of it behind the sofa Saturday evening before they arrive and not let them near the kitchen.

[Shindig]

My flat's in crisis for that so I definitely need to do it.

[Waffdon]

Date tonight, 9am bus trip to lovely Ayr tomorrow for the football and then a 21st birthday later that night.

Aff today and Monday with no full weeks at work until January. Yerrrrrs

[Giggles]

Carl Sagan Cosmos marathon :drool:

[Magic]

So I had to dance with a bunch of mums at twisting tots today. Thankfully they were all hackett. One was nice and the teacher didn't count.

[Giggles]

I've just had a scalp massage. I want to sleep now instead of going out.

[Giggles]

On my 7th brandy and port after foie gras and a ribeye. If the heart attack comes at least it was free :drool:

[Disco]

Foie Gras, taste the cruelty. :drool:

[igor_balis]

Drinking at the pub its alright.

[Giggles]

The boss just took down half a pubs worth of Christmas decorations pole dancing :hail:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Went to Aroma in Shephard's Bush today with family.

I stuffed myself however, I also put about 3 tablespoons of chilli oil on my teppanyaki for some reason. I felt like I could breathe fire by the end as well as weeping pretty aggresively.

The desserts were strange though, the worst being some sweets which were half bubblegum with the other half being aniseed.

[-james-]

I'm in a mess after recent developments. My brother and I both have serious, unrelated, health scares (his already is, mine is if tests come back positive). I am completely failing to deal with the related anxiety. Been up since 5, no idea what to do with myself.

[leedsrevolution]

What's up pal? When you expecting the results?

[Raoul Duke]

Sorry to hear that James - hope things work out ok

[Baz]

:console:

[Giggles]

Come on mate speak out get it off your chest do not bottle it up. Own your situation.

[Kikó]

Good luck Jim. Hope it's something manageable.

[Offshore Toon]

Shoot us a message if you wanna chat about anything, Dino.

[Pepe]

He has The Group for that.

[-james-]

Had an appointment today and my mind was put at ease a bit (and prescribed some beta blockers) but I still have to wait probably a month for scans to find out if theres something that may resemble the big C.

My brother lives in Bristol and has a collection of mental health/drug issues and I realised after seeing him that he basically needs constant supervision. I'd been considering it for a while but I decided I needed to move down. The two things aren't really compatible, it broke my brain a bit. My parents live in Greece and are clueless about both, not really sure what to do about that either.

[Lewis]

It's pointless telling them about yourself unless you definitely have it, but why would you not tell them about your brother?

[Magic]

Did anyone have James down for the who would die first thread?

[-james-]

That crossed my mind this morning.


He has a messy relationship with my dad, they're in Greece so can't really do much, and I can hold him to ransom and get him to do things with the threat of telling them. Obviously it has the potential to go very tits up.

[Lewis]

If he dies you will get hammered (and hammer yourself) for never having said anything, so do it if only to cover that eventuality.

[Foe]

Sad news Dino. Nothing you can do about it until you get the results so difficult as it is you just have to try and get on with what you can as normal until then.

If you're brother has a problem I suspect you really should flag it. Getting turfed back to Greece for a bit (or the threat of) may be the kick he needs.

Dare I ask-what was the root cause of this panic? I've been meaning to sign up for a GP for about 4 years now. :moop:

[-james-]

A few things, Foe, but primarily blood/mucus in my poop and a thing on my bollock. My man doesn't think I have bowel cancer (which was statistically unlikely but terrifying), but theres definitely something unusual on my right nad so the jury's still out there.

The brother thing is fairly complicated and I don't really see a solution. Sticking him in "rehab" or whatever for a few months seems like the best short term fix but he would fight it with everything and probably just get back on it once out.

[Offshore Toon]

What is it he's getting on? If he's in Bristol I'm imagining ket.

[Lewis]

Or Somalian cock.

[-james-]

I don't really want to get into it but it's all sorts, l believe him when he says he's not done smack or crack but most of the the rest is fair game. Uppers and downers regularly though which is fucking terrifying.

[-james-]

I'm dragging him to Greece in January so I could just not buy him a return ticket. He would definitely end up doing something stupid though.

[Offshore Toon]

Sir Spyro, Royal T, Kahn + Neek tonight at The Nest in London. Gonna be ridiculous. :drool%

[Mike]

Watching Star Wars at the pictures with The Reid tonight then off out tomorrow for a mates birthday.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I went to the Wembley Outlet today.

Wasn't too shabby, watching a load of mongs try ice skating and falling over was fun.

Some big chap properly got swept when he was on the ice, he tried to get up quickly and his mate had to save him as it was looking like he was going to go again.

Also went to Cabana for dinner and then treatz for desert.

[Adamski]

Stag Do in Liverpool this weekend.

Hit me up with pub suggestions Baz?

[Giggles]

Same, but in Edinburgh. Who here is from there? Anything not mad hardline hunnish.

[Adamski]

Everywhere then?

[Sam]

Liverpool, but for the wolves match. Any suggestions welcome.

[Giggles]

Everywhere then?

Is it different to Glasgow?

[Adamski]

It depends what you mean as hunnish I suppose. If you mean the offensive an arguably infraction worthy description of Rangers fans then yes yes it is different.

[Giggles]

It depends what you mean as hunnish I suppose. If you mean the offensive an arguably infraction worthy description of Rangers fans then yes yes it is different.

Not so much Rangers fans but we're far from the favourite race of the hardline union type Scot and we don't want trouble. It'd be the last place I'd be going of I'd any say in the arrangements.

[Adamski]

Both Glasgow and Edinburgh voted Yes to independence so I'd say you'll be fine either way.

Edinburgh will be absolutely fine and you'll probably want to stick around Haymarket or GrassMarket areas. Few nice places in Stockbridge and Leith but they're a taxi ride away and you'll think they're hipster anyway.

I'm through the week after and haven't been for about a year so I'm out the loop. Quite a good one just up from Haymarket station and then Panda and Sons and Bramble are quite decent but more Bar than pub. Grassmarket probably your best bet.

[Waffdon]

Edinburgh did not, the horrible cunts.

Stag Do in Liverpool this weekend.

Hit me up with pub suggestions Baz?

HI

Lived in Liverpool for 3 years, went back for a weekend recently.

Depends what kind of thing you're looking for, obviously.

The Philharmonic dining rooms at the bottom of Hardman Street is lovely, and ideal as a starting point because you then walk up Hardman Street past shit loads of decent boozers to get further into town. Can be a pain to get a seat, but it is very nice. Be sure to check out the grade 2 listed marble urinals.

Further up Hardman Street is the Fly in the Loaf, which is a nice pub too. Bit pricey, and I'm not a massive fan of the trendy refurb they've done recently, but worth a look I reckon. Hannah's is alright too, but a bit yuppy for my tastes. I'd recommend popping into the Roscoe Head, which is on the corner of Roscoe Street and Hardman Street, sort of down a little unassuming lane. Proper old man pub, though if you have a massive group it might not be feasible.

Once you get to the bottom of Hardman Street, you're basically in the more bar/club area of town, and there's plenty of great places round there. Heebie Jeebies and Brooklyn Mixer on Seel Street are decent, Shipping Forecast is really decent (usually quite lively, not full of dickheads and the DJs are usually pretty good). Lago is great fun if you fancy a bit of Motown, but is usually fucking rammed. Jacaranda is alright as well. These places are all within minutes of each other, and I'd recommend just ambling around there and seeing what you fancy the look of.

[igor_balis]

Oh, there's a Brewdog around there as well, apparently. Next to Lago.

[Giggles]

I'm through the week after and haven't been for about a year so I'm out the loop. Quite a good one just up from Haymarket station and then Panda and Sons and Bramble are quite decent but more Bar than pub. Grassmarket probably your best bet.

Sounds spot on. I'll look them all up once I find out the hotel.

Cheers. We've booked Shooters for during the day on Sat for the football and then they're going to Kingdom on Saturday night which looks and sounds awful but oh well.

I seen Seel St and Ropeworks seemed like good areas and I've got a few of those bars on my list so happy days.

Wedding today. A fucking whole day in a fucking suit and listening to geebags talk for hours.

[igor_balis]

London. Some birthday party. Probably be alright. We're going to this place cus the birthday girl saw "unlimited wine" without seeing the small print that you have to remain in the restaurant area, it costs £15 and you have to spend about fifteen quid on food too. Then a shit nightclub in south London. Actually this might be fucking crap.

[Giggles]

Laced drunk and dessert hasn't even come out yet. All good.

[Boydy]

What's the club?

[igor_balis]

Nor specified yet Stevey, though last time I came for a big night in London hosted by this girl we went to Inferno's in clapham which is genuinely the worst place I've ever been to.

[igor_balis]

£10 entry, no smoking area due to 'road works' and you had to leave and queue and pay entry again after if you went for a fag. Everything was decorated like a 70s porn film with shit carpets and it was full of angry coked up cockney spastics shouting "you what mate" and barging into each other. And my reliable dark web drugs didn't work on THAT night. Fuck sake.

[Boydy]

Clapham is the worst place. Full of arseholes.

What a shithole that place was. Absolutely glorious. Probably the only vaguely redeeming feature of Clapham, or perhaps the entirety of saaaaaf laaandaaaaan.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Went to London today.

Gave my support to the 'Save our NHS' lot by giving a few of those at the march in Leicester Square a nod, I was used by a street performer as a comedic tool (he insinuated I was gay and that I should give him a call later), I was seen as the head of the table/family by some Chinese waiters, almost got initiated by some 'lads' on a tube as I was surrounded by about 8 of them (as well as another 6 or so randoms) and then almost got an eyeful when two pissed up 'females' almost took down their trousers on the train toilet as they didn't realise they double tapped the door button.

Also saw some shit art and a man produce a bubble storm. Pretty eventful day.

[Foe]

Spent tonight lying in bed listening to Ed sheerans new album.

It's bloody brilliant.

:wub:

Friend invited me to go into town and watch the boxing. Definitely made the right choice.

[Lewis]

What happened with the lads?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

What happened with the lads?

They were winding one up who was standing right in front of me because he doesn't like being touched on a tube.

They left the tube chanting 'Come on Haye'.

[Giggles]

Out early tomorrow to watch the mighty English lions beating the private schoolers/orange order in the rugbzzzzz and then on for a Chinese. It's a restaurant though so I've no idea what the fuck I'm supposed to get. They won't have a spice bag or chicken balls anyway, so the plan will be to get enough pints to not care.

[Kikó]

I'm up to Scotland tomorrow. Edinburgh tomorrow night then to the in-laws until Tuesday morning. It'll be nice to get out of London.

[Adamski]

What's your Edinburgh plans Kiko? I was through there yesterday for dinner at The Kitchin and an overnighter.

[Ian]

I'll be missing the Ireland/England game. :moop:

Will be at Drygate for beer and food later.

Going into town early for lunch and more beers, and I dunno where I'm having either. Might go to Bavaria Brauhaus as I've still never properly tried it.

[John]

I'll be going to Elrow at SWG3 tonight for Sambodromo do Brasil. First proper night out in this country for about a year, and everything I've seen and heard about that night is good so I'm well looking forward to it.

[igor_balis]

On fag break at work. Just served my fave old man customer who deliberately spends about five minutes putting all his stuff away at the counter after he's been served. Lad. I might get drunk later I dunno lol.

[Shindig]

Back home after a few days looking after my mam. Not as daunting as I'd hoped. Annoyingly tiring but that might just be because I didn't sleep til two days in. Off til Wednesday now.

[Kikó]

What's your Edinburgh plans Kiko? I was through there yesterday for dinner at The Kitchin and an overnighter.

The father in law is doing some event at Swanston brasserie and we're staying in a cottage next to the place for the night. All paid for meal and wine/whisky tasting. Shame the weather is crap.

[Giggles]

When Kiko wakes up and finds Adamski at the end of the bed smelling his used boxers :drool:

[Kikó]

I'm in cottage 4 x

[igor_balis]

Cottage 4? More like 4 cottaging! Ha ha ha.

[Disco]

Why is cottaging called cottaging? What is it about trawling for cock that was considered similar enough to small rural dwellings?

[igor_balis]

My most dependable SESH mate is absent this weekend, and nobody else can be arsed. Fucking match of the day and an early night might be on the cards

[Adamski]

When Kiko wakes up and finds Adamski at the end of the bed smelling his used boxers :drool:

Dat inferiority complex but :drool:

[igor_balis]

New Shins song is nice.

[Giggles]

Dat inferiority complex but :drool:

Lol, ok.

You're not fit to lick his ringpiece sonny, and he's never going to take you there.

[igor_balis]

Kicking off my Saturday by playing 20 questions (aka akinator game) with my mate over fb messenger. I'm thinking of Kevin McCloud off of Grand Designs.

She got "tv presenter", and when she went with stuff like Bradley Walsh and Stephen Mullhern I said "slightly higher brow".

She's since gone with "Ant and Dec", and "Football related?" When I said "Higher brow!" she got pissy and said she doesn't watch anything high brow. Surely she must know stuff more high brow than Ant and Dec ffs. This being a girl who went to a grammar school and went to a redbrick uni.

For the record, I'd classify Grand Designs as trashy guilty pleasure tv as well.

[Offshore Toon]

That's one of the shittest posts I've read.

[Danny]

Last night we got the wife the new iPad. Traded in her old one as they had a promotion on so its costing us about $170 in the end.

My dad and family are coming over next week so this weekend will be some food shopping, cleaning the house and moving the yard. Hoping to get a run in and get into the weights at some point.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sounds like a wild one.

[Danny]

Sounds like a wild one.

Undoubtedly, I might even get some PS4 time in :drool:

[Waffdon]

I've slept twelve hours and been in the sun since waking up. Beer garden sounds good but no one is up for going out this early. Fucking internationals weekend.

[igor_balis]

Mate has a free house so we're playing video games and drinking, pub later. I hope I'm not too trashed by dinner time.

[Shindig]

Mine's been coloured by a flat inspection that's given me the "Hey, this place probably could be cleaner" treatment. So I'll be getting on top of that. One review is done, though. One more to go but I'm not tied to an embargo on that one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Speaking of wild weekends.

I just cleaned my keyboard.

I didn't plan on doing so but I split some Coke Zero on it and it was going mental. Hitting T and my desktop turning itself off was particularly annoying.

[Boydy]

I played golf today for the first time this year. The very slight improvement I made last year has completely disappeared.

[Giggles]

I tried out my new vacuum cleaner.

[Offshore Toon]

Those first two sentences from Mahow sent my mind to a horrible place.

I hope you taped over your webcam.

[Foe]

It was actually pleasantly warm today for scottish standards (15 degrees no less!) so I climbed a hill with a friend and had a picnic.

There's an art to hill walking. Find a hill that's not too steep and near to a reasonably affluent area and there's babes galore in gym gear climbing it during the weekend. :drool:

[Lewis]

This Mrs Brown chat show isn't even that crap.

[Jimmy Floyd]

This Mrs Brown chat show isn't even that crap.

I still maintain that the sitcom isn't that bad. Remain voters just want it to be bad.

[Offshore Toon]

It's awful.

[Disco]

I can't say I've seen more than a few minutes but it did look pretty dire.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'd rather watch something by Russell Howard.

[Jimmy Floyd]

Being contrarian about Mrs Brown's Boys is somewhere even the most intrepid contrarians dare not go. Yet I will.

[7om]

Had a bit of a scare this morning,

I was out early and driving on a dual-carriage way with a grassy central reservation. There was a Land Rover-type car coming the other direction who suddenly mounted the central reservation, mowed down 3 or 4 small trees and started driving straight at me. I swerve out the way and he carries on for a good 50 feet or so before mounting the central reservation again and getting back on his side.

Fucking hell. Probably the most mental thing I've seen in person on the roads. Hopefully it wasn't a hit and he was just drunk or asleep or something.

[-james-]

I was bored yesterday and it was pleasant outside so I went to the pub at about half 3 in the afternoon despite not having anyone to go with. Obviously ended up having a fair few and chatting codshit to strangers. Got to about 9pm and i was absolutely completely on my arse, the act of pacing oneself having been forgotten. In bed and sound asleep by half 10. Strange day.

[SvN]

I was out with the wife all day on a bit of a pub crawl. Ended with a blazing row on the way home over fuck all.

[mo]

Was at a Christening the morning, second in the last two months. Boring as fuck (and they go on for ages). I now have the excuse to leave though if the baby kicks off. Spread afterwards was bloody decent too.

[Waffdon]

I was fucking minging last night. Apparently doubles were being bought all night which was great. Ended up waking up in my own flem/saliva at 5am inside the closie of some flats in Arbroath. Apparently taxis don't exist either at that time so had to wait until the first bus of the day was on. An experience.

[Baz]

Friday: Going out for Chinese food
Saturday: Getting Liverpool at 12 to Hopefully watch the derby in the Bierkeller and then watch United in a different pub. Six of us going, which should be a good number.
Sunday: Hungover, getting a washer dryer delivered between 10:15 and 14:15. Original timeslot was 7am-7pm so I'm glad I had a text to narrow it down as being up and ready at 7am wasn't gonna happen really.

[Giggles]

Absolutely fuck all for me. I should be gardening tomorrow so I'm hoping for rain.

[igor_balis]

House party in Manchester 2nite. Then playing FM in my own filth in my mates house until Sunday. Xx

[Lewis]

We've had about ten posts today. THE BOARD IS FINISHED!

[Giggles]

We've had about ten posts today. THE BOARD IS FINISHED!

Posting here. That's what everyone's not doing this weekend.

[igor_balis]

I have an old customer at the bank who comes in every month or so to pay in membership fees into the account for this society of people who were all apprentices at some place together in the 60s
He told me the other day that they only have about 5 left Cus of people moving on, moving away or dying, but they keep it going out of habbit more than anything else. I thought it an apt comparison for how I see this place going. It'll never die cus we're all too stubborn and autistic, it'll just get slowly more quiet. I reckon there'll still be a hardcore of 10 or so of us here 20 years from now, posting every month or so. Wonder who will stick around longest.

[Offshore Toon]

Yesterday was proper slow. I'll think of a thread or two.

[Lewis]

My previous bitter-enders prediction was me, Baz, Floyd, John, Mahow, Pepe, and (assuming he survives) Smiffy.

[John]

Baz posted a mugshot the other day then deleted it with 'Board's dead CBA' or something as the reason, so you can probably wipe him off that list.

[Giggles]

I'd have said Magic too but I reckon he'll bin it sooner rather than later at this stage.

[Offshore Toon]

This summer will be a bit of a slog with long periods where it feels dead, but we'll all come back in the winter. Sundays nights are probably the time when the board will maintain some activity in the future.

[Jimmy Floyd]

My previous bitter-enders prediction was me, Baz, Floyd, John, Mahow, Pepe, and (assuming he survives) Smiffy.

What thread would all of those post in?

[Lewis]

Some sort of massive all-purpose one (Pepe's Pleb Pit?), which John lurks until somebody gets something wrong.

[Pepe]

Late Night Thread.

[John]

I woudn't do that.

[Giggles]

You mean you'd stop doing that?

[Offshore Toon]

The board would probably end up turning into more of a Facebook-type story and comment system. I'm surprised there are still so many megathreads.

[Kikó]

I'll be here until the end. Smug cunt to the last.

[Magic]

You'd probably prefer it if you were solitary.

[Baz]

[Offshore Toon]

Fucking hate dry coughs.

[Boydy]

I'm in a pub with Gareth Jones of How 2 fame. I bought him a pint earlier and he's getting me one now. He's sound as fuck and a massive red.

[Lewis]

Ask him whether he feels guilty about culturally appropriating the 'How' gesture.

[Giggles]

Gaz Top like? Where are you?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I always hated him for some reason.

Fred Dinenage though :cool:

A true hero.

[Offshore Toon]

:D

I only remember the specky bald twat doing that.

[Giggles]

I've to fix the lawnmower and get all that shit done this weekend, my least favourite thing in the world. The neighbour is moaning at me about some tree/bush thing that's going out over her fence a bit but "don't cut it back too much as I like the blossoms on it". She's getting two choices; leave it as it is or I'm taking it off at the stump and putting diesel on the roots.

[SvN]

I had no idea that How 2 was still going in 2006. I assumed it stopped in the mid 90s.

I also love that Fred Dinenage's Wikipedia photo looks like someone has unexpectedly photographed him while he's washing his car on a Sunday afternoon.

[Giggles]

:D and he's not happy about it either.

Want the number of my gardener? He's pretty desperate sounding, I'm sure he'll travel.

[Giggles]

Actually getting someone else to do it is a pretty sound idea.

[Giggles]

Got the mower going with some emery paper and a pencil and got the grass cut. Cannot for the life of me find a gardening company that will take on a small job like I need to get that creeper thing removed though. I've drilled into the base of the stump and poured diesel in it so I'll see does it die a bit and I'll try take it then.

[The Merse]

Prep for an internal round 2 interview tomorrow. I've been told it's only me and one other candidate (external) being interviewed and most seem to think I have it in the bag but I'm concerned at the lack of progress I'm making coming up with decent STAR situations to meet the most obvious competencies. Only 45 mins at least and I know the hiring manager well (he prompted me to apply).

Still. It's shit to be having to be productive when the weathers like this. I just wanna sit outside of assorted cafe bars all day.

On a sunnier note. On a trip to town to grab new shoes and troos I got a free Pret. Which is nice. Particularly as one of the girls at work in London gets a free coffee there all the time and my gf got one a fortnight or so ago. Given I frequent them almost daily I was feeling a bit put out.

[-james-]

Logged into Papa John's to find out that my monthly hungover pizza purchase is well documented:


http://i.imgur.com/TUcMLKC.png


The guy that delivers is Greek and he noticed my surname a while ago. There's something about unexpectedly exchanging kalimeres that I find very enjoyable.

[Giggles]

Are Kalimeres bodily fluids?

[-james-]

Would that make you happy?

[Giggles]

Ecstatic.

[Offshore Toon]

:D

Why aren't you getting the biggest possible pizza?

[Lewis]

Is 'The Greek (Authentic Thin Crust)' the pizza or you?

[John]

I reckon pizza is one of the worst hangover foods. A good one isn't greasy enough to chase it away and a bad one is always a disappointing mess.

Papa John is about as close to the bland middle ground as you'll get though, I suppose.

[-james-]

:D

Why aren't you getting the biggest possible pizza?

I find there's a fair bit of self-disgust required to sit in all afternoon and consume a large pizza + sides on your own and I'm not really sure it's worth it.


Is 'The Greek (Authentic Thin Crust)' the pizza or you?

It's the pizza, I like to think the lads in the shop have a good lol when they pass the job on to the driver.

Nah it's brilliant. It's all in the dips really. Papa Johns is easily the best thing I can get my hands on at midday without leaving the building.

[Offshore Toon]

Yeah, I think Papa John's is pretty good as long as you get some sort of offer involved. Their chilli dip is shit, though, and that's a bit of an essential.
