I'd rather share with people than live alone, unless the people are completely impossible to live with. I've only really experienced the latter in this place - I thought I was untidy until I moved here. The fact you'd have to pay almost twice as much for a crap one bed flat as you would for a room in a nice three bed flat is a factor as well.
But yeah, Toby is right, I'm not particularly arsed about people using milk and stuff. I'm quite easy going as a flatmate. Aldi is a fair old walk though.
People drinking monster at 7:50 in the morning. What the fuck is wrong with you.
Probably need a caffeine boost and don't like coffee.
Yeah, that is pretty obscene.
In a similar vein: people eating sandwiches for breakfast. Come on people, that's lunchtime food.
What if there's bacon or sausages in the sandwiches?
Fuck you Boydy. Off to the shop!Originally Posted by Boydy
Bang it in the toastie maker and jobs a good 'un.
Sandwiches are an all day food. Cereal past midday though, can't be doing with that.
Late night Nesquick
I liked my friends story of some larger lass at his work who fills up her bowl with milk first then adds the coco pops. Then continues to fill the bowl with coco pops until the milk has gone and ends up spending 30 minutes scoffing herself.
I had to stop buying cereal because it is the one foodstuff that I can't eat in moderation. Last time I had a box of country crisp I finished it in two fucking sittings.
There was a twonk on Pointless last night who declared himself 'a huge fan of breakfast' and said he'd spend his part of the three grand on a really nice toaster. I've never been so happy to see someone pull out a one point answer.
'Most every', 'most any', etc. Fuck off. It's almost every or almost any.
Bloody Americans. And also Australians, I think. Stop it.
That went good.
Uugh.
"Could care less" has me seething. "Fuck sake" as well.
Really unique.
Fuck off, there are no gradations of uniqueness.
'Could care less' is the worst one, because the only thing it actually rules out is the exact thing the speaker means.
The advert currently all over Scottish TV telling people everyone wants to fuck their children is doing my head in. Why must we take such an utterly mental approach to warning people about sex crimes? That 'Rape. Not even once.' campaign we had a few years ago with a woman just explicitly asking not to be raped was bad enough, but this new thing is orders of magnitude worse.
What the fuck are you playing at, you twats?
I don't think that one's that bad. Sadly it's a message that actually needs communicating, as this board alone is proof.
'Not ever?'
'No never.'
'Not ever?'
'Well, hardly ever.'
That's the chap. It's horrid.
The only advert I can think of that's in poorer taste was that mental Crunchy Nut Cornflakes one set during the French Revolution, where two twats are found hiding because the wacky one just can't stop himself eating that cereal. It ends with a silhouette of a guillotine dropping, just to really give you an appetite for cereal.
For the opening seconds of that video I was sure that was a pre-BBC Limmy.
I recognise the girl from somewhere but I can't work out where. Now that I've seen the video again I remember thinking the same when I first saw it, so it isn't that she's gone on to be in things after doing shite adverts early on.
This knob is on the bus again with his monster. Early death.
Monsters are insanely good. Effective pre-workout.
*Chugs a bit more Relentless*
I'm always grossed out by seeing people chug energy drinks, but I'm not even sure it is a righteous health thing but rather a deep seated snobbery thing. Like, the assumptions I'd make and the picture of the person I'd create in my head is probably more negative than if I saw them smoking a crack pipe. Before anyone says I'm a cunt or a weirdo, I'll assure you that I know that already.
I always have a Red Bull or some form of energy drink in the morning. Some people don't like coffee.
edit: Wouldn't drink a whole can of Monster first thing though, that's too much Taurine if you're having two a day.
fuck off with your logic and let me make groundless assumptions with impunity
I used to get a cheap energy drink for 35p on the way to work every day. I'm not sure if it actually made a difference or not, but I did feel more alert for those first few hours.
Nowadays I stay in bed til about 10am and just keep an eye on my emails using my phone.
Just die now you bastard.
I've had Monster once and it's undrinkably sweet - Tobes might like it I guess. When I had chronic fatigue I went through a phase of drinking Relentless but not any more. I'll have the odd red bull - the blue and red ones are nice.
They've basically failed at life.
If you need a crux, get a proper one like smoking or drinking, or prescription drug abuse, not a bloody glorified energy drink.
It stinks as well.
I know a fella that used to drink 6-10 cans of relentless a day. I never seen him as excited as the day he found 2l cans.
How about all of them? Erm...
On prescription drug abuse, I can see how people get addicted to codeine. I had it for a couple of weeks after my appendicectomy and you just don't give a shit, it's lovely. Was a bit sad to see the last one go.
I reckon I'm probably pretty susceptible to addiction, but it's not something I intend to put to the test.
I'm surprised his heart didn't explode
I've never tried it but the one time I was in the same room as an open can it made the entire place smell awful.
Scotch pancakes = thicker and with added sugar
Scotch energy drinks = Buckfast
Oh they're all bad for you, but at least they're things that will kill you having had some fun first. Drinking Monster is just foul.
As we speak he's recovering from a double bypass in December. Still in his 40's.On prescription drug abuse, I can see how people get addicted to codeine. I had it for a couple of weeks after my appendicectomy and you just don't give a shit, it's lovely. Was a bit sad to see the last one go.

Though takeaways and fags were probably more the cause.
How is smoking more fun than drinking energy drinks?
I read that as 'cocaine' and spent a good minute wondering what the possible medicinal use might be.
Cocaine eye drops are about the only thing I can think of. They use them to dilate your pupil in certain circumstances.
Makes sense that they'd work where you needed to constrict blood vessels (nose bleeds or something) but I've never heard of them used in that context. Maybe just better alternatives.
As if any of you are interested in that
Shitty printer is not letting me print a document in black because my colour cartridge is empty. Black ink levels are solid and I've changed all the necessary settings for a non-colour print.
Fuck off printers. You are shit.
Printers and networking are two computery things capable of providing literally endless frustration. There is no rhyme nor reason to their behaviour, they just do whatever the fuck they want.
I've put some 3rd party ink into my networked printer and to spite me it is making me reinstall it every time I go to use it.
As part of some twatty energy saving printer initiative, our printer defaults to print on both sides which is fucking annoying when you're trying to print single sided. Not only that, when you're trying to print in colour or a3 you are either denied and it prints on 500 pages in a4 with a dot of ink on each or you end up forgetting one of the 89 settings to change and it prints in black and white.
.....
It's amazing to me that the vast majority of printers are as shit today as they were 20 years ago.
