UK/R.O.I GAF - Thread of geopolitical confusion

Yeah, to be clear, it's not a viewpoint I sympathise with, or condone. I was just curious what exactly it was that led to the banning. Anyway, obviously these sorts of threads are minefields for UK-GAF :p

Yeah, I personally wouldn't ban him for what he said, despite not agreeing, but GAF isn't the place to share those kinds of opinions without fear of banning.

Maturity, bitches.
Well one has to respect him a little for being so honest. Most people cower behind the phrase "I'm not racist but..." whereas he didn't whitewash it at all.

woah, President Obama did a Q&A session on Reddit yesterday. Not that I'm an Obama dick rider (awful foreign policy) but I really can't see David Cameron doing something like that.

JonathanEx, any chance you can get that Jeremy Hunt to log onto neogaf so we can ask him stuff?

I should hope Cameron has better things to do than answer lightweight Saturday-morning-TV-style phonecalls from reddit users.

I saw that last night, it pretty much crashed Reddit. It's a pretty big deal really, as much as the answers were probably somewhat canned it's still showing a huge amount of awareness of his base.

It depresses me that I instantly knew what the acronym was.

It won't lie and say it depresses me, this is how I feel after 12 years of internet:

Yeah, it's the internet that made me this way. At least I'm not one of those people that travelled too far down the sick porn rabbit hole and now can't get off to anything short of the sight of 2 women choking a man to death with a skunk pelt whilst a third pleasures him with razers in her mouth, his distressed family watching through the window.


...except the very fact that my mind could conjure that up is probably a whole issue unto itself.

It got a laugh though, that's the main thing ;)

They don't choke me to death. That'd be sick.

That Citizen Khan thread was quite fun to read. Watched the first episode and it's not that great. A couple of light chuckles but that's about it. I found it stale and predictable.
 
Not as much as I used to. It's changed a lot since I used to drink there.

You're from around these ways then, are you?

Cwmbran. Used to go out in Newport a lot, but I'd pop to Cardiff now and then. Was always a pain cos someone had to drive, it would normally be me. Used to go to Metros quite a bit, sometimes we'd do St Mary's St. Always liked the Walkabout there.

Fuck yeah I got that job!

Now, does an ISP exist that will sell me their services for the month? Otherwise It's just gonna be me in a house with no internet until my housemates move up, and I'm not signing us on to a contract without discussing it.

Precisely! Hence 'la petite mort'.

The worrying thing for me is that I used to do NOS quite a bit, which is where you breathe it in and out from a balloon which is initially filled with NOS, getting a short, trippy high which is incredible.

Unfortunately, I had to stop doing it as the last few I did, the balloons had to be forcibly snatched from me as I was breathing in and out from them until I was passing out, blue in the face because the trip was so euphoric and I got a bit worried that I'd take it too far and do myself damage.

It's obviously the asphyxiation that was doing it for me, but I'm pretty nervous of exploring that lest I end up travelling down that path until I'm found in a hotel room, pants around ankles, swinging from a light fixture by my belt.

It's easy to overshare on GAF, huh?

Why not get a PAYG 3G dongle from 3 or somebody and use that for a month?

Can get like a vodafone pay as you go dongle. i use them sometimes. For £10 you could get a few weeks of light internet browsing (no youtube/online gaming)

And congrats!!

Related but perhaps worse: when I was a younger man I used to have a big ol skanky 2ft bong that I would smoke hash through. I perfected the art of getting a buzzy headrush on my first hit of the day, it was fun, the room would swim, sometimes I would babble incoherently.

I knew it was time to stop doing that when one morning I did a massive hit and awoke to hear a banging at the door. Momentarily befuddled it took seconds for me to realise that not only was I mostly upsidedown with my forehead on the floor and arse on the sofa still but the bong was also upsidedown and was glugging yellow-brown bongwater all over my face.

I opened the door to find my mate (Lewis) standing there, me with a gash on my head and stinking of old fags.

So kids, the moral of the story is do not fuck with your oxygen supply!

haha I love bad drugs stories. Share yours UKGAF. I bet Dave's got some corkers.

Jedi, Mike, you cats are depraved. I love it.

All my drug tales end with me covered in my own shit so I reckon I'll keep 'em to myself.

Fuck yeah you did!

Congratulations chap! I can't be any use on the ISP front I'm afraid.

Hmm, the mobile thing might be aight I guess.

Though I spend most of my time sat on vent and playing games, and I'm planning on a new PC with my birthday money.

Chatting with housemates now anyway, if we can decide who to go with by the time I get there I'll just get us on a contract.

EDIT: Oh and cheers fellas :D
