Hello Britgaf

 

[Mr Cola]

You know this is something I have thought about too. I think I could write something funny enough.

Such a sour duck.

I read "Suck a sour dick"

And, I quite like it. Obviously they have written better songs in their heyday, but I wouldn't exactly call it a bad song.

Haha, brilliant.

Of course it's all in context. You wouldn't say cunt on morning tv either.

But we freely band it about in here, and non of us take offence. Or if we do, we keep shtum about it least we get taken the piss out of. If an American came in here and said wanker, I doubt any of us would take offence to that either. Yet they seem to take more offence of the word. That's all I was trying to say.

I can't think of any words that Americans, or any other nationality for that matter, use that would cause such massive offence to us that cunt does to them.

I think if i made this a criteria id never send it in, im proud of it but im not sure whether thats because i actually did it or if its any good, i lean to the former given im not actually very funny.

Im trying to get on a bucket list kick atm

 

[Musha_Soturi]

That's because you have a filthy, filthy mind.


MILTON KEEEEEEEENES!

Just send it in Mr Cola, what's the worst that could happen?

Im thinking on it ive just wondering about the logistics atm, i.e getting trains back late or staying over in a hotel or something, this will be uncharted territory for me.

Well, I quite like the theme of mental illness. Quite dark I know, but...

I'll give you an example actually.

This is something I did a few years ago just messing around. I just felt like trying it out really. It isn't anything special, I could certainly improve on it, but it made me realise I could quite easily write a script. Whether it is worthy of being accepted is another thing though.

This is another thing I did.

The problem with this site though is it's very limited in what you can do.

Yeah. I wouldn't be offended by that either. I didn't really mean it that way.

Don't be a pussy there might be a few of us doing a hostel maybe. Or a late night cafe.

Actually, here's a new idea - my mate is always hyping up AirBnB which is a service where you rent out someone's flat for the night. Apparently it's fairly cheap with a few people and they won't kick you out for doing that heroin you love so much (don't try to deny it...)

I'm still debating whether or not to put people up this time. If I do does anyone want to stay?

Um, not sure, but I'm having mine looked over by my placements guy tomorrow so I'll probably just grill him for advice on making it better

If he tells me anything useful I'll pass it on

My only tip is that you need to include 'Minor Internet Celebrity' in there somewhere. It'll give you character.

Trying to think what to do for Halloween.

I was thinking it'd be cool if I could do something that incorporated coloured contacts, maybe yellow ones like these http://www.youknowit.com/online-shop/yellow-contact-lenses.cfm

I know a guy that used these for a halloween party once. All the drunk people (so everyone) wanted to (and thus tried to) touch them ALL NIGHT.

Great fun.

 

[BGBW]

Only thing I do is carve a pumpkin and lock the outer doors.

 

[Wiseblade]

I might buy a big tub of haribo, but there's a 50-50 chance I'll just end up eating it all myself.

 

[Mikeside]

I don't think I've had a single trick-or-treater in about 5 years.

My halloween evening plans involve Walking Dead game episode 4 and possibly a movie

 

[blahblah...blah]

'sup.

 

[Mikeside]

'sup.

Every time I hear "'sup" recently, it takes me back to the epic moment in Borderlands 2

Spoiler

"'Sup" - Entire floating-city disappears into thin air

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

I'm stuck for this halloween too, my friends are all shut ins and so don't like doing the whole "lets dress like tits and stumble around the pub" thing. I might do another horror movie night, it went well last year with Event Horizon and Suspiria.

Event Horizon was the first 18 cert film I ever watched, so good

Anyone here regret getting netflix? Too lazy to cancel it either :[

Naw man, it's amazing. Do you have access to US Netflix (ie, through Unblock-US)? There's sooooo much more on there. Great value for money. Also watch Cracker, it's amazing.

 

[SKINNER!]

Hey Darren870, I'm currently writing up a list of all the UK-only sweets and chocolate bars (I signed up to that Candy Swap thing). Apart from Cadbury stuff, have you come across any sweets/chocolates that weren't sold in the US when you first came to London all those years ago?

Anyone here regret getting netflix? Too lazy to cancel it either :[

Why? I heard it was better than lovefilm. I'll be subscribing to them the second the new Arrested Development episodes come along.

I can also tell you how big my genitals are if you'd like.

 

[Hot Coldman]

No thanks. I've gotten on fine so far imagining we're all of average length.

Except Dave, obviously.

Nah Netflix is awesome, much better than Lovefilm.


Don't know what I'm doing for Halloween yet. As it's on a Wednesday will probably just stay in and watch horror films. But the weekend before there's loads going on. The MGM Expo is on all weekend, and I really fancied going on the Saturday. But my usual clubnight, Voodoo in Angel, are doing a special Halloween night on the Friday, which if I go to will mean I won't get home till 6am Saturday morning. Then a friend is having a massive Halloween party Saturday night, but it's in Surrey which is miles from me and will be a pain to get there and back. I just don't know what to do!

Plus I've not even thought about a costume.

I do however have a costume idea for a party I'm going to this Saturday. The theme is something beginning with L, E or P. I'm thinking of going as 'Essex', cheap fake tan, fake nails and eyelashes, big hair, tight slutty outfit.

[daviyoung]

I spend at least one day a week in Musha's old neck o' da woods and I whinge about South Wales, especially the weather, a lot here. So it's only fair I reckon.

And there's very little difference between Essex girls and Valley girls, especially Valley girls on a night out in 'Diff.

So you mean what does the UK have and the US doesnt'? The US has Cadbury however, the stuff in the states is a lot different then the Cadbury in the UK. When I did the candy swap 2 years ago I had tossed some in.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Fight! Fight! Fight!

But I live in Essex now so....

 

[Mr. Sam]

A candy swap between the US and the UK? That's hardly fair on the UK.
