I think I'd rather be thin and smoke than fat and not.

As it is I'm fat and do/did/whatever/gofuckyourself so I'm shit outta luck.

I find the worst thing about not smoking is the night sweats, especially in summer. As soon as I lay down in bed, BAM, cold sweat. ewwww.

When I gave up smoking and put on weight I thought this all the time, that I should just start smoking again to lose weight. Sure I'd be unhealthy/smelly/poor/at risk from cancer, but I'd be thin again and that's all that mattered, right?

Luckily I stuck with it, and now I'm eating properly, I'm losing weight and still not smoking. Win win!

With recent events showing how fucking cool Prince Harry is, I say we have a UK-GAF meet up in Glasgow, invite Harry, and have Kentpaul as our guide. Shits and giggles would be had.

I have to do something important today that I've been too afraid to do until now because I'm a massive wuss. So I'm hoping that by posting this on here, I will now be more inclined to do it, somehow.

No, it's got nothing to do with a girl. Or a boy.

You're going to do it, whatever it is. It's not going to be easy, but you'll feel much better afterwards.

If you want to talk about it, whatever it is, feel free to PM me. Otherwise, go forth and slay your dragon.

That's quite an accomplishment considering I only moved to Glasgow back in Feb 2011 dont you think? :p nah, I do know one or two places but I'd definitely need a second Glasgow-Gaffer for recommendations/suggestions.

Spent my high school/uni days on the east-side of Scotland (Fife and then Edinburgh) before I found a job and settled in Glasgow.

Just had my first super posh parent that after reading the email I thought "Jeremy". Oh please sir, could you email Alfie/Freddie/Charlie's GCSE results to us? We're currently on a boat off a private island and would love to crack open the bubbly.

I hope the boat sinks you bastards.

So i applied for an IT Apprenticeship with Lloyds Bank, there were 7 vacancies avilable. Had to do an online Numeracy test, which i later found out by email that i passed. Then they invite me to a 'Selection Event' which is now tomorrow.

Anyone know what these usually involve? Or what i should expect?

What field of IT?

£3.20 a pint....wow, would be nice!

Even union pricing has been failing hard since I've been at uni. Used to be able to get a pint of Tennents (utter shit, but still far better than the likes of carling) for £1.50 when I first started. now it's more like £2something.

Wetherspoons.. 2 quid average for most pints.

The lack of music though really kills it. Round here you can get good deals with places selling piss cough cough fosters for 2 quid a head.

Reading some of these weed strains in amsterdam ftw Heavy Duty Fruity lmfao. Oh man

Does not compute. I'm at the pub to talk. If I want to dance I'll stay in my bedroom.

I always feel so out of step with my contemporaries on this one - they don't seem to mind literally not being able to hear each other in the slightest. Some fairly loud music is all right, and obviously in a club you know what you're gonna get, but incredibly loud music in a pub is HORRIBLE. you just sit there in silence nodding at people constantly.

Many a night out has been ruined because of this.

Agreed. Killer_clank gets it too. I also get to dance nude in my room.

Blonde on the right would get it.


(Edit: Woah, this is the post equivalent of an inner monologue. I actually meant to post about bars being noisier than pubs but quieter than clubs).

Solid Rock Cafe looks amazing!
Hillhead bookclub in the West End of Glasgow is alright too. Quiet during the late afternoon but then slowly gets busier and louder as the night progresses. Has a ping pong table and SNES/Mega drive consoles upstairs. Food is a bit shit though. There's Brewdog opposite the Art Gallery that's good too. In fact, Ashton Lane in the West End has a large collection of bars and lounges.

Walkabout is my benchmark for mini bar club pub places, KP. I only go to events these days, clubbing is a chore unless you're already pissed from a day session in a pub.
