She got a job, no problem.
Good morning UK-GAF,
Heading down to the Glasgow Science Centre to check out batman. Nightout yesterday was alright. My crew had to leave the bar early so I decided to stay on for a bit for a change. Spent a good 30 mins talking to strangers and just having a good time before I went home. I didn't even realise I wrote that earlier post.
Hope everyone has a great Saturday

Excellent news, UK/ROI GAF - I'm down from off the ledge! The noose is gone from around my neck! The pistol is absent from my mouth! I have a reason to live again!
Food no longer tastes sour in my mouth. Pornography no longer leaves me flaccid. The sun has burst through the clouds. What a time to be alive. I feel-- I feel like I don't own an S3. Yes, THAT good!

Charlton? My gf's favourite team - She was a season ticket holder for years. Are you local?
Born and raised in Charlton, live in Bromley now.
Alternatively, I am your girlfriend. Surprise!
I don't know - I'm not very good at this whole "winding kentpaul up" thing. I'd brace myself for an unexpected punch to the side of the head but that's a contradiction in terms.
Nice! I'm in Eltham, but my parents and brother used to live in the tower of flats near The Valley.
As for being my girlfriend, her name is Sam... I'm feeling quite the shyamalan twist here. She never told me she had a Gaf account!
:lol She deserves it after the crappy couple of years she's had. She lived and worked in London before so she had experience for the jobs she was after.
That bitch!

Just smile and nod.
That's, er, awkward, hope you don't have to put up with too much crazy stuff in the "support" category. Alternatively, adopt it and name it Baby Kent
Double ugh my last friend has now moved out of Plymouth.
Now I'm going to have to start mining friendship points with friendly-acquaintances and maybe even hunting for new friends.
Set up a quick OKCupid account then look for societies and clubs I guess.
Finding new people is the worst part of the social game.
edit - oh man I just dunno what to use for a username. You have to think about it more when people will know you for real.
edit2 - It'd be easier if you jeremies just moved down here, you know. It'd save me effort.

I have like only a grand saved up so far, Musha. I'll need more than that first. And a job. And some flatmates.
Trust me, it's on my aspirational life list to head to London where all the beautiful people are and hang with swag GAF. I'm just not ready yet.
I NEED MORE TRAINING!

You're doing fine chap. Sit back, relax and let nature take her course.
As for the friend, support support support. It's all you can do.
I'll be 25 in about five month's time I DON'T LIKE IT - soon I'll legitimately have to stop acting like I'm still an adolescent in some ways and eventually it'll be creepy if I just turn up at university society parties to meet people with similar interests.
Well, yeah. But she is so not in a position to raise a kid and I seriously think she's making a huge mistake. I know I sounded like a fucking bastard when I told her to go get an abortion, but it genuinely was the right thing to recommend. She even agreed with me for the same reasons, so I wasn't being a total callous douche.
Not that I'll ever say the above paragraph to her, of course. That'd make me a real, horrific cunt. YES I SAID IT WITHOUT QUOTE MARKS NOBODY WILL BAN ME
But when she called me earlier today to let me know her decision I know I didn't sound as supportive as I should have. I said all the right things but not in the right way. Going to have to make that up to her like a proper friend.
I'm 32 and still in my adolescent phase. It ain't no thing. Don't worry too much about who you meet, those sort of things are organic, not engineered. Follow the path and trust others to join you along the way!
Personally, knowing very little about the situation, I feel you did the right thing. Problem is, being a friend means supporting your homie whether they make the 'right' choice or the 'wrong' choice. As long as they have you to fall back on and as long as you tried your best to 'steer' them, you've done all that a good friend can.
You don't need to hide your disapproval, just don't rub her nose in it. What is done, is done.
You might've mentioned this earlier in the thread and I'm not trying to sound like a knob but what makes you think her life is wasted? Lack of motivation and/or direction?
She's broke, having depression/emotional issues lately and her university won't let her take a year out. A child is the last thing she needs.
Her life isn't over, I'm just exaggerating for effect.

Dave, you ain't ever gonna leave your adolescent phase. At least I hope not, you wouldn't be as much fun.
You ever gonna join us at a meet up one of these days?
Ah ok. I see. Only thing you can do is be there for support man. Help out as much as you can and dish out good advice when asked for it.
If you ever end up moving north (not sure why you'd want to. lol) before they build a seperation wall and you got nobody to hang out with then Scot-Gaf will help you out
I really want to but I'm really busy during the weekends at the moment. I want to be the gaffer that ends up naked and covered in vomit, mostly my own.
I'm keeping an eye on the meeting threads and as soon as one comes up on a free weekend, I'm there.
That's amazing.
"Mostly online chatting to friends, or sleeping. I know that's pathetic, but I don't really have much of a life. I don't drink, so you won't find me in a pub, and just about all of my old school friends moved away and have families now, whereas I'm still stuck in this town with nothing much to do."
D:
Guys don't ever let me become this.
I mean, seriously, four photos of him with a sword?

4 litres of strongbow for six quid for the win... Going to a house party with that lol keeping it classy. Il need to bring out my s3 the first chance I get a show the other party goers I do have some class..
Bring it on, I have worked so much this week that this shift is just breezing in for the win. Two hours before I enter the the cab and head three miles north to the party.
I will be drinking my strongbow from plastic American style cups so that you source of my strongbow remains ice cold.

I think this is accurate. I've always been of the opinion that the best friends are those that speak the truth, even if it hurts, provided that the truth could be beneficial in the long run. This is context-independent, by the way, so I'm not making any judgements about abortions and the like.
As for that dating profile, it might be the most depressing thing I've seen in a long time: I feel bad for a guy who can't even seem upbeat and positive on a website where that's pretty crucial to being successful. Just fake it if you have to, don't say things like "not many people are into [my hobbies]" or "you're probably thinking I'm a loser" - that has to be the quickest way to demonstrate low personal value and self-belief. I'm pretty sceptical of internet dating as a whole, really, it just seems like a bad signal from both parties from the very beginning.
I did just read one where the guy spent two paragraphs talking about how he's never had a girlfriend or kissed a girl and he spends a lot of time thinking about what it must be like. Dude is 22 and not actually ugly (ginger, but not offensively so). I messaged him to tell him he should be less depressing and he'll probably be okay.
The sex-doctor hasn't messaged me back! I know he read my message - he was online briefly.
Also an old best friend of that ex I was posting about started talking to me.
But mostly I already have two friendship prospects. That's not bad for a couple of hours work. Now I'm going to go make papercraft love robots.

I laughed heartily. I'm not really sure what this means though.
Sure you do. Everybody has limits for how much ginger they can take. Even gingers.
Could at least get a ticket for a decent club
>My club's going to go straight back down to League 1 I can feel it
I need to have more faith.That would do wonders for my notoriety at the party. Anyway guys how awesome would it be a cab driver. I holy shit I may go for it one day.
The Strongbow or the S3?

I'm at Jewel wine bar in Piccadilly for a good friend's 30th and someone just bought a second fishbowl. It's gonna be a good (messy) night!

Post shitty photographs that have no intelligent regard for composition, colour, texture, form or shape but use a load of cliche instant-filters that make everyone "omgggg soooo artistic!"
Alternatively you can just repost low-filesize gifs you found elsewhere.
Those are the two things tumblr is used for.

Instagram is an app that makes that process faster and easier!
Also, you can set it to post to your tumblr.
Here's the funniest thing Maddox ever did explaining the subject.
