I have 174 friends on facebook. I just use it for photographs of piss-ups and laughing at other individuals.

I also occasionally use it for facebook stalking...

I used to be big on Facebook culls. Got myself down to <50 Facebook friends.

Then I realised I was being socially dumb, and hamstringing myself.

Facebook is for networking, not BFF circles.

It's on the freakin' internet; you shouldn't be putting anything up there about your life you wouldn't want a future employer to know. Privacy settings only do so much.

So now I'm just super-careful about what goes up on there, and maintain a good network of contacts it'd be good to have. Kind of essential in the media industry, and I'm sure very useful in other industries, too.
well you know i dont really post much about myself, i just use it for picture uploading. i suppose that is putting information on the net.

dunno, maybe i am being socially dumb. maybe i should just delete and ignore the people i no longer want?
 
Had a dream I relocated to Ethopia for a year. Weird.

I guess I should have asked earlier, but this wasn't the BritGAF room right? Because I wouldn't want to upset people in this community. If it was #GA or something then I couldn't care less.

Definitely not BritGAF. No-one's uptight in here, lol

Come on dude. If we felt unhappy about your avatar (not sure why we would. It's your avatar) we would've posted it openly in this thread.
 
The people I were getting complaints from were just having larger problems with some of the threads on Gaming side. Probably too big of a problem, I'm since learnt, so no worries anymore.

Yeah, this!

I have reconnected with friends who I havent talked to in a few years thanks to how easily I can contact them on Facebook. It's worth keeping the big network of people, never know when it will come I handy to have easy access to someone's contact details.

I literally only use Facebook for its messaging service now though - if I ever updated my status I would probably want less people to be able to see that

It's funny when Sunday night is busier than thursday,friday and saturday combined..... took us an hour to get everyone out


oh and morning guys!
Singular company.

But the festival thing has just been an informal thing. I film the bands, in return I get an artist's pass to the entire weekend free of charge, which saves about £200.

Met loads of performers, some local and some not so local. Great atmosphere. Had most of my cider bought for me as well so a great weekend.

Just home to shove some food in my belly and now Mad Dog are playing a local bar so I'll be heading there asap.
Nice! Good way to spend a weekend!
No worries I'll sort it now mang.

Edit: Done!

Cheers mang! hopefully ill wake up early enough tomorrow to get some hours in b4 the late shift xD

So after watching 16 episodes of Arrested Development (I saw it on facebook, I think... or maybe here, I'm not sure)
I've come to the conclusion I need a social life. Where is a good place to start communicating with complete strangers, preferably people like me with slight anxiety issues.

Just saw Fast and Furious 6. It was good, entertaining as hell but I'm still kinda pissed about the ending.

Adult Friend Finder? :D I dunno man, seems hard to make new friends when you're older. Just do what you're doing, your life sounds busier than mine!

Also, shot gunning a comedy like that has got to be bad for your sanity. After 5 hours, is anything even funny any more?

Just got back from the lake district to a nice package with my Passport and a letter saying my visa renewal has been approved.

Guess you guys are stuck with me for a bit longer :p
 
That they're going with Tokyo Drift. I liked Han, I don't want him to die. Or Gisele either.

Jason Statham was pretty badass though.

but he was already dead, it already happened, they couldn't change that. I don't think Gisele should have died but it kind of made sense with what happens in Tokyo Drift. In my opinion it was the worst film of the series, I didn't like Lucas Black in it and I hope he's not in 7 much if at all.

If they just concentrate on Statham getting revenge for his brother's death I think it could be good.

Gisele will be alive in F7 she will be one to kill Statham probably also for Han , she had a case of no body and nobody seem to go check for her in F6 so yeah won't be dead

Han being alive was just hope really we kept hoping Tokyo was farrrrr into future after F7 but nope no more Han chilling eat a bag of nuts

Could have just treated TD like it wasn't canon. Han is too likable.

I just seem to get invited out like once a month for a piss up, twice if there's something happening. Other than that, I spend most week nights alone playing video games (there's only so much of that before I go insane - I also need new music, I've listened to the 100 playlists I have so many times) or watching random shit on netflix.

I've started going to bed at like 10, purely because I just can't cut it any more - I am doing nothing after work and it just kills my energy, I used to be out every night till like midnight and then home, sleep, up at 6 - work - do something straight from work, eat and go back out - I did that for like 3 years straight and now I'm just sat at home all the time. I'm not asking for the same to happen again, but just like more than one night or day.

I'm actually finding it really funny still, I went through a stage a few years back of hammering lots of programs like Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother, The Big Bang Theory - watching non-stop for days - I don't know how I do it, and it probably explains quite a lot about me lol

Do after work activities? Go to the gym? See if people at your new job go for drinks? What happened to the old crowd you hung out with everyday?

Unless we are very similar, I've done the same with many shows, so that isn't anything to feel guilty about.
I too suggest the gym. Fitness, massive gains, and a boost in self esteem thrown in.

I'm signing up to the gym this pay day, I need to become fitter. I put on quite a bit of weight whilst in my last relationship. The people in my office life really far away, they all travel like an hour away so when they finish work they travel home. I haven't really spoken to many other people as I'm one of the youngest there and there's hardly any around my age.
I used to hang out with people who didn't have jobs and saw them often and now they all have jobs and are exhausted by the time they finish. Other than that I spent most my time with my ex, we didn't get up to much but it was more social that being alone and I felt like I had a lot more independence at the time due to cooking for us and pretty much living like I had moved out.

Yeah, I nearly finished season one of arrested development today. I went over my best friends house to play some video games, made a small fire and just chatted really - which was quite nice. I find just having someone to physically talk to even if you're doing the same shit you'd do alone better as I feel less lonely I guess.

I've moaned about my job before on gaf. Run a small store in a nasty area. Lots of crime. Single cover working. Stressing me out to all hell.

had a shoplifter last night who attacked me after I confronted him. I had already recovered the wine he attempted to steal, and as he went for me, I smashed the bottle into his face. Broke his jaw, apparently.

either way, he was on bail for GBH apparently, so he's locked up now.

this morning I had a mouthy cunt in who started throwing stock off shelves, and kicking my displays over. I fucking lost it. Punched him full strength in the face and knocked him out cold. He must have hurt himself on the floor, because there was blood everywhere. Called the police, they took him away. Got sent home, signed off for two weeks due to stress

I need to sort this shit out. Jobs not for me. At all.

Get a job behind a bar, you'll be thrown in the deepend and you might die

but that's okay


We should hang out sometime brah :D, you're not too far from me, also the guildford meet will have to happen some time soon too :D

With a seven month old daughter and house to support, I'm stuck. Would have left a long time ago otherwise.

I've got two weeks to find a new job. I'm starting tomorrow, and will find one if it kills me.

Ha, that's not bad advice, I have anxiety issues and worked in a pub kitchen in town. They got let down by one of their bar stuff on st Patrick's day and I filled in for them. Baptism by fire for sure but I went on to work behind the bar for another year and really enjoyed it. I found it was one of those positions where you're just too busy to think of freaking out.

Really sorry to hear that man. That's crazy to get that much abuse in under 24 hours! It's no wonder you reacted as you did.

Yeah, that's what my area manager understands. Cool guy, but his hands are tied by head office. No extra hours or security at all - our cctv system broke last year, and they refused to fix it. Eventually I just said fuck it and put in a new set up myself using some old monitors and a few BNC converters I wired up and placed inside.

but obviously if im still getting attacked and abused, then what's the point. My deputy manager had his ribs broken last year too, and I've had a female member of staff punched and dragged over the counter during a theft.

constantly on edge, scared, and who fucking blames me if I end up retaliating? I've ended up sending four assholes to hospital after defending myself, and sooner or later I'm going to get fucked up myself or stabbed. I can't win every fight.

So for a while I have been...somewhat lacking in the sexual motivation department, but the other day I met a girl who....for lack of better words

I wanted to smang untill I had no smang left

I think it's the exercise that's doing it...

So that's nice

I have a horrendous sense of pride that makes me determined to support myself financially no matter what.

I would move into my parents house if need be. Only a matter of time until I get a good few hundred thousand in inheritance anyhow, as long as my grandparents remember I exist. That'll help us.
