Grab a greggs and a copy of the sun

Haha, feck off, I ain't usually like this. I'm normally in t'office by 8am but I have a late start today and nothing to do. And I refuse to tarnish my eyes with the shit that is known as The Sun.

Unless its Vikki Blows or Rosie Jones on Page 3, then I'm good to go.

unlucky southern gaf!

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Morning peeps! I would have Monday blues, except this week is going to be fucking awesome! Meeting jimbor for lunch today, meeting the bossman himself after work on Wednesday, then seeing some of you lovely people at the meet on Friday! Aww yiss.

 

[Danj]

Morning everyone, back to work today. Didn't know we had an IRC channel, but then I joined it and it was empty added it to my favourites anyway.

 

[Billy Big Bollocks]

Is someone going to make an OT for the new Alan Partridge film? Its out in a couple of days.

It's just occurred to me that I'm unable to stay over Friday night which means I have to drink sensibly and be at Paddington by midnight which sucks, but it'll be a good night nonetheless. The only person I could possibly meet for lunch would be afoni, or the guy who lives in Staines, but my lunch breaks aren't long enough

 

[zomgbbqftw]

Fucking Mondays. I got in about an hour ago and I want the day to be over.

Aww that's a shame dude. Still it'll be a good night anyway.

Amen. I've got better things to do than this work malarkey.

Morning guys.

Why is it I must embark on a 30 minute walk to the bank?

Hi Musha_Soturi, I can't make Friday unfortunately. Me and the missus are going down to Kent the weekend before Bank Holiday Monday so we need all the money we can get. This also means that my first born will not be named after you.

PS how did Musha_Soturi end up in my SwiftKey dictionary?!

Significant others can be so damn fussy sometimes. Causing a tiff over booking a bloody holiday, what is the world coming to?

Amen to that. Women just seem to love to argue over the most trivial of things. No ice cream in the house? She'd kill me. Accidentally delete her show off Sky+? Its the end of the world. Forget to pick up your daughter from work? All hell breaks loose. Just take the tampon out and calm the fuck down, jesus.

My missus went nuts because I liked a picture of a female friend on Facebook, it's not like the friend was wearing skimpy clothes either.

I can understand getting irate about not picking up the kids but ice cream and Sky+ profiles?! lol damn. Makes me feel somewhat delighted about my current marital status.

Hey Musha, tell the boss I said hi and to make it up to Scotland whenever he's got a spare week in the future.

 

[SuperSah]

This is why I love being 17 sometimes.

No need to worry about a wive.

Haha, I've never actually forgotten to pick her up but I added that in as something that she will, somewhat understandably, kick off over. Thankfully I'm not with her, anymore.

 

[Musha_Soturi]

Yeah, women are fucking nuts.

Aww that's a shame dude, but understandable. Hopefully you'll make it to the next one.

Have a look in the meet up thread, he said something about going to Edinburgh.

It's not just women, gents. My boyfriend is just ridiculously fussy. He wouldn't even let me use a hold-all when we stayed at a Marriott for a weekend. Instead we took a huge unnecessary suitcase.

 

[SKINNER!]

Totally slipped my mind that the Edinburgh festival season is August. Think I might have to take a detour after London instead of going straight to France...

OH SHI-

 

[Darren870]

Yesterday I was chilling in the flat and I heard deathly screams of a woman outside. She was screaming for help. It sounded like she had just been raped or murdered so I ran outside.

Turns out some kids just did a grab and snatch of her iphone. Very common in my area and I actually had to be an eye witness to one about a year ago. I didn't see it this time but someone did get the plates of the moped they were driving. Typical London scum...hopefully they catch them.

I probably shouldn't walk around with my phone out as much, however after seeing like 3-4 of them I tend to hold it pretty tight.

Being new to London I fear i'll be attacked based on my Northern roots. Where did this bappen?

 

[BGBW]

Morning everyone, back to work today. Didn't know we had an IRC channel, but then I joined it and it was empty added it to my favourites anyway.

It's mostly used for big events that bring GAF down like E3.

Usually the only person in the room is me.

 

[Symphonia]

Yeah, that's a little crazy.

 

[Darren870]

Up in Islington. I've seen it in Angel a lot too. They ride around on their bikes and snatch them real quick. I guess by me there isn't many turns for them to get lost in so they use mopeds.

However, the last time I saw it they were on bikes right off Essex Road.

I wouldn't worry about being attacked, assuming you don't live in a shit hole. Just don't walk around with your phone out.

Much as I hate to brag, my missus is fucking awesome. I've never known anyone so damned sound. If we're arguing, there's an 80% chance it's my fault.

Makes it really awkward when people are all 'Women, eh?!'.

I've only been with one girl who I'd consider laid back. But even then, she was a little loopy to say the least! Well, all kinds of crazy really.

I remember one ex flipped her lid when she found out I used to fancy my best mates sister. This was like 5 years before I even knew my ex existed, but she still managed to form a cohesive argument around it. I mean, what do you even say to that?!?

Chilled, easy going girls all the way. Just can't be dealing with high maintenance dickheads anymore, it's just not worth the hassle. It's kind of endearing/flattering at first when girls are all jealous and clingy and shit, but it gets old real quick.

Edit: but yeah, your lady sounds wicked Dave. I guess I'll find out for myself next month!

Haha, yep, girls and unreasonable when it comes to exes. They literally go crazy over crushes you had on a girl over five years ago and then hold it against you for life. Its just...da fuq?

 

[Chinner]

sounds like theres gonna be some mad double/tripple dating in nottigham next month

 

[Hot Coldman]

Worst Monday in a long time. Can't believe I'm 20 and still getting harassed by my dipshit mother. Not sure where I've gone wrong in life. I knew I should have gotten a student house last year.

And these fucking cockroaches aren't getting back to me about my placement applications. How hard is it to send a "we are not interested" letter? How? It's not! Just send it! Hell, even a "your application has been submitted" would be nice. Gawd.

Anyone interested in putting up with a Marketing student with a 2:1 for a year? Seriously. I'm getting proper fucking antsy. I need something. I've got less than 3 weeks before the new year is supposed to begin.

Spoiler

and no, Chinner, don't take the piss, it doesn't help

i'm sorry to hear about your problems, tashbrooke. hope everything works out soon!

Kid A! Screamed like a little girl when they played the title track at last years concert. My favourite song by them is Climbing up the Walls.

 

[Chinner]

anyone who claims to be a radiohead fan in this thread is just a poser. i'm the only real raidohead fan.

Hey now, don't lump us all in. I don't get jealous, I'm really good friends with the bloke's ex

Although if Ninja found someone I might be a little heartbroken

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

So yeah, Monday! Managed to lose pretty much the whole weekend playing Spec Ops The Line, which has the highest disparity between awful title and surprisingly awesome game that I can remember. It's an army game that's light on the hoorah and jingoistic bullshit, and instead specialises in making you feel horrible. Great time.

M-m-multiquote maaaaaadness!

Morning everyone, back to work today. Didn't know we had an IRC channel, but then I joined it and it was empty added it to my favourites anyway.

It gets used sometimes, mostly to talk to banned members and as a backup at conference time. KentPaul is usually responsible for making everyone go there.

Amen. I've got better things to do than this work malarkey.

Damn straight! I just spent an hour moaning to my mate next door about how dull summer is at school. I could literally be at home right now and NOBODY WOULD KNOW. Except on the offchance (perhaps a 7% chance) that my boss would come in to say hi. Grrr.

Especially upsetting on a monday when I have to leave my hot naked wife in bed to come to work. sob

On the plus side, guaranteed rudies when I get home.

Amen to that. Women just seem to love to argue over the most trivial of things. No ice cream in the house? She'd kill me. Accidentally delete her show off Sky+? Its the end of the world.

Me too, we get on like a house on fire, and she's mostly a reasonable and logical lady. Hardly ever argue about anything other than what's for dinner.

In Rainbows or gtfo

 

[donkey show]

Nah, not really. My girl is cool with my ex-wife who she's met and any other ex's I've talked about. She never gets mad jelly and we are on the same page on pretty much everything aside from the fact she's a veggie (but she eats shellfish, so I can forgive her for that).

 

[Symphonia]

Now, now, I didn't say all girls. But my exes have all had a bit of pyscho in 'em. I seem to attract the crazy, ha.

Plus, I know them feels when someone you like finds someone.

 

[Jedeye Sniv]

I made the mistake of telling my mrs that when I was a teenager I had three wanks watching Species, so now she takes the piss out of me whenever we go past it on Netflix.

That's about all the stick I get about ex-crushes.

Oh, and that the girl I fancied in Year 11 had 'triangular boobs' which is patently not true.

Best keep me away from Mrs Dave then, she sounds too cool.

In Rainbows gtfo

OK Computer. Boring answer, but that album is nigh on flawless. But yes, In Rainbows is magnificent too!

 

[afoni]

girls are mystical beasts with a strange allure not unlike the allure of a free ticket to thorpe park on a weekday. you want them but sometimes you have to think logically and wonder if it is worth missing work/school/college/uni/NEET club for.

OK Computer and In Rainbows are on about equal standing for me.

They're both great, but together they're better than the sum of each.

I wish I clicked with TKOL as much as those two albums
