BritGAF |OT6| Dark Souls? More like Arse Holes
- Thread starter JonathanEx
- Start date
Also, if anyone wants to help with producing OT titles for the UK PoliGAF Election 2015 thread, or help collaborate in anyway, please PM me or post some titles here.
snip.
Oh and hello everyone again. If anyone wants to present ideas or collaborate for anything related to the UK PoliGAF 2015 election thread, then PM or post here here without diverting the thread. I'm now also open to titles since I'm bad at OT title names. I'm hoping to post March/April time or if we get to 200 pages before this date. Also, the thread is going to be more informative than humorous because of inquisitive non British gaffers. Fancy graphics are welcome, since I'm no expert at photoshop. I have basic skills in editing or creating gifs as well as images.
As we are from a democratic state [], I'll choose the best OT title by sheer majority. I'll ask BritGAF to join in as well.

Just caught up on the last 5 pages. Fucking hell guys. I'm just gonna stay here and become part of FloridaGaf.
I also just caught up. What the hell, where did all that come from?
Well, it's sleep time so hopefully a nice niights rest will calm everything down, although I guess now CS is banned it won't be an issue. I still can't really work out where that all came from although I've not been in this thread long.

If you're in Florida, have you checked out Disney World and Universal already? That's the places we visited back in 97.
Is there still the Minnie Mouse magic microwave? Where you press a button and it lights up with popcorn jumping but when it's stopped there isn't anything there.

Yeah that's why we came here. So far we've done Epcot, Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom, Seaworld, Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, Kennedy Space Centre, Magic Kingdom (twice), Blizzard Beach and Busch Gardens. Tomorrow we're going back to Magic Kingdom then Daytona Beach on Saturday and home on Sunday.
I honestly don't know how I'm going to cope with coming back to the weather and miserableness and work and shit. Thank god it's Christmas soon.

Awesome! Speaking of Seaworld, do they still do the orca/dolphin stuff still after all the controversy and their profits going down because of Blackfish?

Sigh. What did Cyanide do this time? First it was Jedeye, now this.
Yeah, I saw that when it aired on BBC Four. I mean, I knew the animals had it rough, but having a vicious whale who was subsequently the father for a whole generation or killer whales who could potentially kill as well is just asking for trouble.
Musha_Soturi

Yeah they do, although the trainers don't get in the water anymore. I was a bit dubious but the animals didn't look like they were under any stress or anything. They were saying on the news how they're having to sack 300 staff due to the drop in profits, which kinda sucks and won't do the animals any good.

Just read up on Jedeye Sniv, oh man how did he not know how much trouble he'd get with talking about the KKK and asking for people to see the shades of grey in them? lol If you're going to go for that angle, better bring up a lot of facts and research to back it up than just something he read in a book.
Every post after, he keeps on digging the hole. Yeah sure, KKK members are worth analysing but they know what kind of organisation they're in, much like ISIL or Taliban. And then the defensive tone thinking people are calling him out to be a racist didn't help.

Who needs Eastenders when you have BritGAF?
It's awesome you're having a good time over there. Florida is a pit if you aren't doing the Disney tourism stuff.

Are you sure you're in the right flat?

I hope not literally.
When we moved into our previous house a few years ago the previous owners had left a tonne of big stuff (they said they would be taking) so we had to move that out before we could get our things in. And the estate agent did not want to know. Useless.
Get the luminol and UV lighting ready you are going to need it.
Sorry to hear about your problems; it is stressful enough let alone having to deal with people's rubbish.

they already tried to fob us off with 'the landlord probably won't want to move things because they'll have to put it in storage at a cost'. i don't care, the flat is unfurnished, get rid of your stuff or fucking give me a cooker. christ.
haha did worry about that as none of the flats have door numbers on the inside.
i am tired and hungry and cold but can't leave the house because of a mattress delivery. psssh.
anyway, shall try to shush now.

oh we've already experienced renting hell, first place had a psychotic flatmate, second was £600 a month for a mould-ridden studio flat. when moving out of there we were charged £15 (on top of £300 of other bullshit deposit deductions) for the removal of a pan, haha.
seriously fuck the estate agents. they are scum.

I live in an HMO, and the guy in the room next door had a habit of playing music until gone 4am at increasingly loud volumes. He threatened to "smash up all my stuff" because about five months previously I had moved his bike upstairs so it wasn't blocking the tiny corridor to the front door. He also kicked the door of his own room in at some point, for some reason, so now it just blows open in the wind because the frame is fucked. The kind of person he hangs around with is the kind of person who leaves him messages written on his door in biro. There was a time when he'd just disappear all week and then re-appear at the weekend with a different arrangement of children. Like, sometimes he'd have a baby, and sometimes there'd be a couple of kids like 7 or 8 years old or so. People would come and smash on the outside front door because he owed them money. This happened numerous times at 7am. At one point, he opened the door and the woman outside saw a pram in the (still tiny) hallway, because it must have been baby week. So she shouted at him and accused him of having an affair or something. I could tell when he was going out, because despite him being a good 30 at least, the hallway would smell like someone had used three cans of Lynx Africa. Basically, he's all fucking class.
I haven't seen him for about three months, now. I'm really curious. I wonder if he's in prison, or dead.

That is bloody awful. I would have a nervous breakdown if I had that going on. I hope life is treating you better on the home front now.

I got pretty close to be honest. I'm not exactly sure what the plan is if he comes back, haha.
Moving house and slightly hungover.
CyanideFuse

Do you give it much thought? I would be constantly worrying that he might appear on the scene again.
We have had our fair share of horrible neighbours. I don't know why some people cannot attempt to be even half decent. Your (hopefully) previous one sounds off the scale.

My neighbours are ace one of them even cuts my lawn etc, it helps that I live in a detached bungalow.

He was/is incredibly difficult to live with, yeah, but I'm sure there are people way worse off than that!
I am sure he'll turn up one day though, there's not been any movement in the last three months of anyone trying to rent the room out, so I assume he's still paying for it, somehow. The people in the shop downstairs think he might be on the run from... someone or something. This hypothesis would also not surprise me were it true.
I guess if he comes back I just move ASAP. The place is pretty cheap (for Kingston) which is why it's so shit, I guess, but I'm in a slightly better place financially than I was when I moved in so I could probably upgrade at least a tiny bit if it came to it. There must be someone in BritGAF with a spare room in Greater London, right!?

Glad to arrive in the aftermath of the Drama Bomb as this morning, which has so far consisted of painful ankle physio and a crowded commute to work, has been a prick. So I hope you're all having a better morning! Sounds like almost everyone is finishing work today but I can't be the only schlub who's working until Christmas Eve right?

Yep. We got charged: £550 Rent, £650 deposit and £75 admin fee for both of us, £75 application fee.
I hope we finally get our job titles changed in BT so we get a pay rise and I never have to rent again. :/
I work in retail, my Christmas is fucked
You don't work tech support. People are at least remotely happy to be shopping!

we got charged £210 for an inventory. it's literal madness. paying off a house would be cheaper.

Seriously hungover
I just started back on shifts, but I've got half-day tomorrow to go to the Xmas party, and booked Sunday off to recover/go to a gig. Working nights all next week though, but it's cool as i quite like working Crimbo, as long as I get New Year's off.

You guys got fucking weird.
My own weirdness: I got paid today! For the first time ever. Yes, I know, at 22 that's not an achievement, but it feels like a milestone to me. Also I got £200 from my dad so, er, someone help me not spend that all on a Wii U right now.
Not you, Reknoc.
