To clean it.
Most of the time I go natural but on some occasions I'll put this balm through it:

Oil is for shorter beards.
That's the exact balm I've just purchased. Woof.
What the fuck is going on in here?
Manc and Mahow are just about to do each others eyelashes and give each other a reach around once their handcream dries in.Quote:

Especially Mahow. I know a couple of people who purposely look like shit to piss off the people who give them personal/fashion advice, which is the most retarded thing ive ever heard. Standing up to the man etc
Mine is for laziness, and washing it is the only upkeep it requires.
A beard requires way too much effort for me. A lad I work with has his grow back in within 2 days but mine takes two weeks to get beard-like.
Is there a worse topic of conversation than how someone maintains their beard?
You had any pizza recently?
No, and I'm a better person for it.
Though the pizza chat was usually tongue in cheek and a great distraction technique from mert and his grinding/political activities. You bastard.
The pizza chat isn't the boring bit, I was flawlessly baiting you into mentioning your weight loss.
:D
I technically didn't mention it.
Nasal hair. I must yank out 30-50 of the fuckers (to my eternal misery) a month and yet it still looks like a small Amazonian forest is growing out of there.
Customer service.
I tried to call O2 twice yesterday as my bill wasn't paid and I was cut off both times just as I was about to speak to someone. The seethe having spent so long on hold and it happening twice was incredible.
I decided that today I'd use the live chat.
Payment was due on the 24th (who the fuck tries to take payment on Christmas fucking Eve btw?) and I didn't have enough in my account to cover the bill, when is the latest I could pay it off without incurring any charges etc?
Sir, I see that your payment was due on the 24th you must pay it immediately!
...
He (or the manager he apparently spoke to) didn't seem to care when I asked to postpone the payment until January 4th though.
Banks still work on Christmas Eve, Mahow.
My mother doing my head in has really peaked over the past few weeks. She just talks absolute shit at me, narrating her life to me or starting conversations like we're spies exchanging something in a park.
*comes into the room I'm in*
'They'll have to pay for that won't they?'
'Who?'
'Those people on the news.'
*gestures towards my laptop as if to say 'I'M NOT WATCHING THE FUCKING NEWS'*
'Haven't you seen it?'
'What? What are you on about?'
'Those people in the floods.'
'What about them? Pay for what?'
'If you can't even have a conversation...'
We're at the point where her voice grates on me like whichever alarm tone used to wake you up for another bollocks day at school. Which jobs house you that you can you just turn up at?
:D
My dad has this annoying habit of phrasing the same question several times in one sentence/piece of speech.
I lose patience straight away. Which question do you want me to answer?
'Didn't that barrier fail to open and that's why it's worse than normal?'
'I don't know.'
'Haven't you seen any of it?'
'No, otherwise you would have seen me watching it.'
'Yeah it did yeah.'
'What?'
'It didn't open.'
'So why ask me if you know more about it?'
'It's just something to make conversation about. I'm so sorry...'
It's not even stupidity is it? If you can't even sit quietly with your own son (who you know doesn't talk a load of shite because you're always moaning about the fact and encouraging him to do so) then you're basically deranged.
Does she go out much to talk nonsense to other folk? Maybe she's lonely.
She does, and doesn't seem to talk as much crap when I see/hear her with other people (boring shit, but not illogical nonsense). I can only rule out trolling because she seems to sulk whenever I shut it down, so I've no idea what motivates it.
"I dunno, son. I think we're drifting apart..."
Poor Lewis' mum. :(
I reckon we'd all [secretly] think living with Lewis for a bit would be a laugh, but I'm really not so sure it would be.
Bloody spot-on.Quote:

Attempted to update my dad's iPad using iTunes (it's old and can't be updated using the iPad).
The update failed and now I can't use, update or restore the iPad so have to take it into an Apple store so a 'technician' can fix it. Cheers Apple. :mad:
What happens if you hold the power button and the home button for a period of time?

If you hold it longer then it should reset.
My Mom's the same, except she's a vigorously racist social democrat ("Bernie and Trump are the only worthwhile candidates") and always turns every discussion into an argument about how shit black people are. And then when I tell her no, the "white race" won't get killed off, she goes into "well if every conversation is going to turn into an argument we might as well not even have conversations".Quote:

My mum will have a sly dig at you, at which point you can choose to stay silent and get accused of ignoring her or have a dig back in which case you're picking on her.
Fuck all. It just goes back to the same screen of the iTunes logo and a 'connect' symbol.Quote:

That boxing promoter transsexual was on Mastermind the other day and my dad kept referring to her as 'her, him' to try and make some kind of point known only to him.Quote:

:D
It's not something I should bother thinking about really. When I just thought it was her being annoying she was just annoying; but the more you think about it you start to realise she's a bit of a pleb (although it explains why she doesn't get on with my brother, who is exactly the same).
I'm about to stay at my gran's for a few days and I'll be equally frustrated. I can't help but call her out on the crap she talks which inevitably upsets her. I'm a terrible grandson.
I get on well with my gran. She talks endless rubbish but it's almost always entertaining.
My nan told me and my mum last year that she'd tell the police if she found out anyone in the family was doing drugs, for their own good.
My mum does the annoying thing of getting really arsey whenever she has an argument with you, even if she initiated it, and acts like she was fully justified in being horrible if she wins the argument, but acts like you've basically bullied her if she loses the argument. I don't really care cus she's my mum and she's pretty great really, but it isn't much of a surprise that she basically hasn't got any mates any more.
She also does that thing of defending saying really tactless and unpleasant things as 'just being honest', but loses her shit if anyone says anything even remotely critical to her. Actually, I think she'd fit in pretty well on here. :henn0rz:
Also, our team lost the quiz last night by 1 point, and a couple of times I had a hunch for the right answer but was overruled by everyone else trying to work it out with 'logic'. Always go with hunches.
Getting ill. The days of endless drinking have caught up with me and I feel fucking horrid. New years eve is a write off.
Sounds like she just wants to have a chat with her son. Bond a little, like families do.Quote:

I'm signed up with the Student Panel because they offer surveys every now and then for some money (well Amazon gift cards and you need to get to £25 to get anything), they only take like 10 minutes and they only ever offer a maximum of 2 a month. Screen outs are a bitch though, I just had one pop up with these intro questions:

I have only ever owned a TV on that list and sadly that excluded me, although I couldn't help but lol at some of the questions. It's such a shame that I haven't transplanted a 12 foot in the past year :(
I tried clicking on the first button for about 10 seconds before i realized it was an image.
