I am well thanks. Well bored har har har
lmao love it
Who are you with? I'm on EE and I hate it, there is no signal at all where I work and it seems like it drops off at the slightest provocation other times.
Gaaah, miraculous mobile internet doesn't work, fml!
Is it affecting the wifi? Since updating my devices to iOS8 the wifi signal on them has died on its ass, it keeps cutting out whereas before I'd have a full signal.
A little miffed that the most irritating person on the whole office floor has moved desks so that he's at my 5 o'clock. As in, the worst middle ground between being behind you and in your peripheral vision at the same time.
He talks to himself incessently and, at the risk of sounding incredibly particular, his breathing is annoying. He seems to forget to exhale, or is purposefully holding his breath so that when he does breath out it comes with this little gasp/moan that drives me nuts.
I'm just having to drown him out with music. I often listen to music as I work anyway but I'd rather I wasn't forced to choose between that and listening to what sounds like a man climaxing modestly every few seconds as he narrates his thought process.
I fucking hate EE. My adult content lock randomly engages every fucking farts end, despite the fact that I had it disabled on day one. It even blocks GAF.
Fuck EE.

Thanks for the heads up. Of course it would be a troll like shuri to post it. From a cursory glance it looks like it descended to a lot of bickering and a lot of reactive defensive posts. I will say I forgot about the line about Ellis' thinking cyber-bullying doesn't count as real bullying. While he brings up a lot of really thought-provoking points, this is probably the most ignorant thing he says.Also Jackben, if you're around, someone made a thread out of the "Generation Wuss" thing by Bret Easton Ellis as you'd considered doing.
The replies are pretty much exactly what I expected.
EE. I just wrote out a full response and lost it because the signal cut out. It's affecting their network. Calls texts and data. Apparently something to do with iOS 8.

I've held two, a main meet in Newcastle which was basically all Landan-'eds (only one of the Newcastle gaffers showed up despite about 10 showing interest at the time), and a mini-meet a few weeks back which again, was largely made up of London peeps with some Manc-based BritGAF peeps. They do happen, but BritGAF is mainly Londoners so that's where the most of the meets happen.Are the meetups always in London? Or do you have a regional franchise?
A wild DS appears.Afternoon chumps and chumpettes, how are we all?
Yup, it's pain in the arse.I fucking hate EE. My adult content lock randomly engages every fucking farts end, despite the fact that I had it disabled on day one. It even blocks GAF.

Hi mate, I gave up trying to keep up with this thread but I'm trying to make more of an effort now.
Aaah I see, you two are a couple right? Otherwise that's some huge coincidences!
Welcome!
I never really went anywhere, I just didn't post for a couple of days while I was busy with the little lady and her crazy minions. But it's cute that you guys missed me.Welcome back Ninja!
Good form fella, this thread was floundering for a while there. I feel like it's getting it's groove back these last few weeks.Hi mate, I gave up trying to keep up with this thread but I'm trying to make more of an effort now.
Fuck's sake Mush, don't you start!Anyone else think Ninj is gonna give up Manc, move back to Sunderland and move in with his new little family?
Literally worse than cancer.Oh no, anime fans.

I'm definitely getting the house!
Can't wait to get living in this bad-boy.
Awesome, congrats on the house then
Shame.
- I'm not dead jimbor
Of course, it ain't the same without you!
And yes, get back in the what'sapp. The balance is all to fuck without your input.
I'm on O2 and had issues since updating last week. Randomly losing my wifi signal at home is irritating as fuck
I'm definitely getting the house!
Can't wait to get living in this bad-boy.
In less important news I've got my X52 Pro ordered ready for Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen. Hopefully one day I'll be able to afford a meaty new graphics card and an Oculus to really complete the experience.
Did you guys treat Shorty okay at Eurogamer?
Jed how's slappindabass?
Sploatee have you taken over western Europe yet?
The hive mind Sploatee has already completed this. The mortals suspect nothing.
Mornin' cherub. I'm still hung up on Katya Sambuca and this one chick in my rotating wallpapers that I really ought to reverse image search. So round. So perfect. Yum.Smoky have you seen any nice fake racks lately*?
*on your vita
Too early, Jed. Too early. Use small words.What's your methodology, some kind of distributed fungal intelligence or are you going for nanobots this time?
Listened to this on the bus on my way to work mate, lovely stuff. Have some classic Richie in reply:Hi you beautiful people (and jimbor).
Ninj this will tickle your minj. If you have the time listen to that playlist, it's all damn good.
Are there more mixes on the Dropbox? I haven't checked it in a while.Is very fun cheers mate. Just got a new bass which is my first one with active pickups and it sounds propa beastly. Currently working on new songs which feels like dragging a rusty nail over my brain. But they'll be awesome, I have faith
I was listening to your Rockin Kebab mix the other day btw, that's a classy mixtape right there, was thoroughly entertained.
Hey BritGaf, french gaffer here!
I had a job interview in london and I have a few questions you could help me answer about moving to the city. Basically the job is ok (community manager, not my favorite branch but I can do it), the wage is ok and combining it with my GF once she finds a job in her branch should give us almost 3K for 2 people/month.
The thing is, I am not a big city guy. I am much more a guy liking big spaces, having a cosy appartment and a bit of grass where I read books. I didn't move to Paris as I really don't like the hours lost in the subway and the cost of life there. I had just a few hours in London and I already visited the city 10 years ago as a tourist, but I really didn't have a good feeling while being there. I'm not "in love" with the city you see, I like it as a tourist but I don't know if I want to live here.
Another problem is that my GF has health problems (spinal disc herniation) and needs medical care (acupuncture each month, a few medication) and I am afraid she won't be able to bear this way of life with tube and bus vibration, crowd, stress... And I don't know much it costs to continue her health treatment in the UK.
I have another job opportunity in France (formation to become web developer) so I have the choice. But giving up on a job opportunity like this without really thinking about it is stupid. So if some french gaffers are around here, as well as brit countryside gaffers, I could use your advices.

Are there more mixes on the Dropbox? I haven't checked it in a while.
Remember when everyone was all into this Dropbox mixtape thing then only about half of us actually did one and even less actually listened to them?
Fun times.
The hive mind Sploatee found nanobots to be inefficient. It prefers infiltration via osmotic ontological interpenetration.

OT but if you could change your GAF name, what would you change it to?
I'd like to change my name to Astrolord Boots. They are some funky legendary boots from Destiny and they sound like a stoner rock band.
