In other news, how is everybody coping with the perpetual misery of being back at work?

Not well. What with being back at work, being on a diet, and no Christmas to look forward to it pretty much sucks.

On the bright side I'm going snowboarding in a few weeks, planning a surprise for the boyf for Valentine's Day, booked a long weekend break in Caernarfon the weekend before his birthday in March and planning to spend Easter offroading in Brecon, so got all that to look forward to!

I find the best way to get over holiday blues is just to plan more holidays. Doesn't have to be anything big or expensive, just a little break from the norm to do something fun.

Hey! Welcome. Stick around and think about coming to the Northern meet in March!

Getting married in September in London, then we'll jet off a couple of days later, hopefully. We've been together about 2 and a quarter years, bought our first house together in January last year. As for as stories go, I did share my proposal story here, which you're welcome to read:

Ah I remember reading this when you posted it, awesome story. Congrats dude.

 

[theaface]

Aw man that's a beautiful story, you put all other men to shame with your proposal skills! Very sweet, I wish you guys all the happiness Two and a bit years too, not fucking around are ya? I made my mrs wait 10 years lol. How old are you guys?

Thanks buddy. Nah, I guess we didn't mess about, but being a little bit older (30 this year), I had a good sense of where I was in my life at the time, and where I wanted to be. She'll be 26 in April, but has long wanted to settle down and have a family. I've told her she'll have to wait for kids for a while yet though!

We coincidentally had both moved to the same town and wanted to change accomodation so we decided fairly early on to rent together and see if we could handle living together. In my opinion, that's the ultimate test! Like most, it's not without it's ups and downs, but good enough for me to ask the question and for her to say yes, so there's that!

Aye, Vegas/wedding diet starts on Monday. Pure dread. Spot on about booking more holidays though - got a few more days left til the end of March to use up. I think I'll definitely go back to the Float Works in London Bridge (floatation/isolation tank place). Went last week and it was fantastic. So peaceful and relaxing. I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't tried it.

Yeah totally, living together is the real thing, the wedding is just icing on the cake. I moved in with my mrs after just a year when we were 18, got married a decade later. I love being married, it feels great. All those wonderful new words you get to use. tbh I wish I'd done it way earlier but I felt I was too young (30 here also now).

 

[TheHollowNight]

Welcome new man.

Thank you, other man!

I like this guy. Forza Horizon is the nuts!

Welcome to the community fella.

Thanks I've been on Gaf for about half a year, but it was only recently brought to my attention in the RPJ thread that a BritGAF community existed, so yay!

Yes! Forza Horizon was a great game, I'm proud to have worked on it
Also thanks for adding me to the list! Much appreciated.

Hey! Welcome. Stick around and think about coming to the Northern meet in March!

Hey hey! Thanks for the warm welcome! That sounds swell, I'll be sure to stick around!

You still thinking of booking a hotel and bringing the wife? I think she'd really enjoy coming along to a Gaf meet, she's a cool lady.

Maybe/probably, we'll see a little nearer the time. Spending money like nobody's recently so she may not be able to afford it. I'd like her to come if she can. Otherwise I'm cool sharing a hotel room with a stinky boy if needs be.

 

[Danj]

Don't suppose anyone here's going to BETT 2014? I'm going to be in London for that on the 24th January.

Was your avvy taken at your wedding dress rehearsal?

 

[Symphonia]

Cob, motherfucker, it's all about the cobs.

 

[jimbor]

Welcome! Another Newcastler eh? If I were you I'd make plans to meet NinjaBoi irl asap. He's mint.

What kinda games you making? Good ones I hope!

And Sun bites? FUCK YEAH. Got a cupboard full of that shit at home.

Aww mate, you used the correct region specific colloquialism and everything!

You mean apart from insinuating that you're a geordie?

 

[theaface]

Was your avvy taken at your wedding dress rehearsal?

No - is that an actual thing? We certainly won't be doing one!

It's from a photoshoot that was done a few years back with my ex, weirdly enough. I had a colleague whose wife was a photographer, and she just offered to take some pictures for us free of charge.

We, as Brummies, are disgusted to have Coventry right next to us. Batch? A ham and cheese batch? A tiger batch? Fucking Coventrians.

Roll fist bump brahs. oh yes.

Brioche, peasants.

hmmmm brioche. I want a burger with a brioche bun. Roll. cob. oh shit.

I actually temporarily forgot that word, hence 'Newcastler' which I'm not actually sure is a word. I think I have mild brain damage.

 

[Screaming Meat]

I used to be a pro at that move.

Pah! I still am, buddy. No man-made slacks can hold this here donkey booty.

Also: welcome new person!

 

[Daffy Duck]

Lol, the look on my face was something similar to this when she said it:

 

[sploatee]

Welcome new human! Sunbites are great. Tip - raw noodles are tasty.

Not coping with the return to work particularly well. V hectic, although currently taking a lunch hour to play Soul Sacrifice.

Not much to say, but I'm posting anyway. Because I can.

Too much sugar. Not enough sleep. Will get coat.

The only valid answer is cob.

If you call a bread roll a cob what do you call corn on the cob?

I would like to have a good GTAV vs TLOU goty discussion, but arguing on GAF about it would do my fuckin nut in I'm sure. Fanboys are so lame, no critical faculties at all. Either all love or all hate.

 

[SteveWD40]

srsly guise...

The OP is for newfags.

 

[NinjaBoiX]

You mean apart from insinuating that you're a geordie?

I've never seen the point of the Geordie/Mackem rivalry. I have no allegiance to either football team, and I wasn't born in either city, so all I'm left with is who has the classier birds.

Clearly Geordieland innit.

Sweetbuns.

Heh.

Wrong, my OP is a treasure trove of useful tidbits.

Roll. Sometimes bap.

I feel that I rarely post in Gaming side because of the extremities from both sides (for and against). It's just an absurd place. I would completely stop going there but there are a few smaller topics that aren't that bad.

 

[Mikeside]

Roll. Always.

Unless it's a bap. So sometimes, I guess

 

[Symphonia]

If you call a bread roll a cob what do you call corn on the cob?

We still call it corn on the cob.

But we call bread rolls cobs.

But we don't call it corn on the cobs as if to mean corn on the bread rolls.

Because that's stupid.

Just cobs.

 

[sploatee]

You're good people.

We are.

Its barm, not bap, not bun, not cob. Barm.

 

[Deaf Spacker]

Roll or at a push bap.

This Duggan verdict is an absolute farce. So you can get shot for not having a gun now?

Lucky they found one with none of his DNA on it, with no witness able to see this invisible gun. Guy was probably a prick wannabe gangster but diesnt justify it.

While the majority of the Met are complete and utter cunts, a jury of ten people who have seen all the evidence have decided it was lawful. I'm uneasy with the verdict but then I didn't see all the evidence.

I must say I doubt the veracity of this test, colleagues.

I got 'spectacularly south east'. You what?

 

[afoni]

we're all south east?

mint

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Is it metal? Is it screamo? Is in pop punk? Is it Emo? Is it hip hop? Is it dubstep?

I have no idea, and I don't think they do either, but that's irrelevant. I cannot stop listening to this album, it's just awesome.

Edit: Apparently it's post-hardcore

If this trend continues, maybe we can fit that into the OT5 title somehow.

The south east thing that is.

Have you ever been on a jury? Honestly the dumbest people I have ever met and one of the most depressing insights into our justice system. I would rather have a flip of a coin decide my fate.

In anycase they themselves concluded he did not have a gun on him, yet rule it as lawful? So the police are allowed to shoot you if they think you are carrying. That's not a law I want any part of. Also no DNA found on the gun/sock yet assumed as his in spite of any evidence. Could have been planted or weird coincidence, apparently the distance from the gun and body is huge but haven't seen it myself. No witness saw him throw anything.
