Not just at night.
No problem
I would of come from Benfleet. About an hour and a bit away (I know you would of had waiting around to do, but still). I haven't been around there in years actually. Near the ice rink ain't it... Last time I went there was in 2007 with my college buddies. Time flies! To be honest I would be pretty scared as well walking around there slightly drunk too... I applaud your courage!
Not bad. I've just discovered that Selfridges do weird snacks like BBQ worm crisps and toasted scorpions, which seem like they'd make great gag gifts for someone's birthday.

Your ears must have been burning, Musha and I were just talking about missing you last night!

Aw, you guise!
I'll be on more now that I've completely switched off at work. Only four weeks left and I'm trying to give a fuck but it's just not happening.
Wait, duck sushi?
That's awesome, we'll be seeing your face a lot more in here? Four weeks is nothing, that'll fly by!

This is very good. Awesome. Have you had a baby shower? I hear those things can be great for gifts. I might have one when I get pregnant.
Yay! This is great news. We'll be up to 3 regularly posting females, a record for BritGaf!
How did you not know this until now? They also do scorpions in vodka, which tastes amazing.
I had no idea this happened. Guess Mr. Smokey is a hardcore Pokéfan.
Yeah, bizarre isn't it.
It was a selection box with the standard salmon, prawn and tuna but it also has chicken and duck!

I haven't had one but only because the wedding was so recent, and it's baby-boom time in both families so tons of hand-me-downs abound. Otherwise I'd have needed to.
My sister and sister-in-law both had baby showers this year though and they were brill, highly recommended.
NB: Don't let your mum drink a whole bottle of wine and tell everyone really loudly about how your new Kipling bag is a fake from China and only cost £6.
I've already posted it in the pickup thread, but I'm so fucking stoked right now and amazed at just how incredible this year is going so far, I'm posting it here too.
OH MY FUCKING GOD
First off, this isn't totally confirmed yet and I only found out today - but it's as good as, considering my Dad's credentials and experience. But if all goes as planned...this may be the greatest pick-up of all time:
Yep.
Basically, my dad's in the latter stages of getting a job at this country park as the groundskeeper. One of the perks is a live-in residence (two bedroom apartment) with no rent needed at the manor house. My dad already has a home. So.......
oh my god
he had better get this fucking job (he's had years of running a grounds maitenance firm, so he's experienced enough)

heh, hmmm
Maybe I'm getting my hopes up too much, but considering the very real chance of it happening (again, due to my dad's experience), I'm like all excited and shit
It just so happens to be pretty much my favourite location in the world too (the park itself)
Oh, this is where you lot are hiding. Get a full-time job and full out of the loop - ain't life a bitch? This must be the fifth one of these I've filled out:

Hand me downs are great. I have a few friends who are pregnant know so I'm letting them know not to get rid of anything the baby grows out of.
Unfortunately no force on earth can stop my mother drinking, but luckily I don't own any fake labels. Or labels of any kind. She does however have a go at Andy for not proposing yet and letting me get tattoos.

What makes you think that you can live there, or am I reading it wrong?
Hellooooo guys.
No one told me the old OT got locked.

The last post in that thread was a link to this one.
Well, my mum said so. However, now my dad is saying lol no. So iunno now
Ah well, was a nice thought.

Someone brought a portable swimming pool to the venue. I thought you should all know.

Surely it's up to the employers? I think you've got ahead of yourself.

Welcome back dapper!!!
Now fill out the form.
What venue? For what? That sounds pretty awesome. You gonna go for a dip?

It's called the Billabong, it's local. I'm doing a noise improv thing and I think some guy is doing performance art... He's cling filming tomatoes to his head. I wish I were joking.
I'll take photos.

No.
Well, more like my mum got ahead of herself. Had a discussion when I went round to help fit their new bathroom earlier and my dad clarified a few things.
Turns out a two bed residence is part of the employment contract (as night work is involved), but whether I'd be able to stay there instead of my dad is another matter. Who knows. It's definitely a possibility though - I was just essentially told it was a dead cert earlier lol

I'm well jel.
Should be, mane, should be.

That's my sort of night in!
Sat down and watched Elysium with wifey and half a chocolate orange.
I rather enjoyed it. It reminded me in many ways of District 9. Then, at the end, who should pop up as the director? Yep, the District 9 chap.
Wifey liked it too. Especially the extra bloody bits of faces getting blown off.
The chocolate orange didn't seem too impressed though. Snob.
The 'wench' is the ex. Staying at hers a couple of nights. Everything is, for lack of a better word, fan-fucking-tastic. And I'm not being sarcastic.

They're having problems, as I already mentioned, I'm here as the shoulder to cry on. He's not here, I am. Who's in her good books? That's right, me.

Wow.
So, uses her boyfriend to escape from you, now uses you to escape from her boyfriend.
Sounds like you've got a real keeper there. Let us know in a few weeks when shit hits the fan and she's ran back to the boyfriend.
I'm sure DapperBandit will make up a lovely little adventure of CyanideStrike again - they're almost as entertaining as the real thing.
