Typical "people like us" mentality, two thousand brown children died of malaria today! Who cares? Little white girl missing! Call the SAS!?!

Her parents neglected her and she died, that simple.

Dave Chappelle does a great bit about our (the west) obsession with young white girls.

In case I forget, Happy Birthday for tomorrow! If you remember what you did on your 21st, you're not doing it right.

Tonight I will be making around 180 mini cupcakes for my friend's wedding tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be attending said wedding, where I also have to do a reading. Not bricking it at all :/ Really looking forward to it though, it should be a wonderful day. Sunday I might be going to the Red Lion in Gravesend to see Breed 77 at the Red Roar festival.



Only my friends can see anything on my profile, so if any future employer tries looking they won't see shit. And the people on my friends list are all my actual friends, so I have no problem with them seeing anything about my life.
I do. :(

I've sadly never had amazing birthdays, and it's something I wish to amend.

Because of this you're all invited to my birthday this year, whatever the hell I do. No joke.

When is it? We'll sort you out mate, make it one to remember ;)


Well the cupcakes are done, took way longer than expected and my back is in agony. Hope the bride appreciates it!

Maturity, bitches.
My birthdays were always during exam week so I only celebrated with very close family friends, which basically consisted of a toast and some cake before returning to the books to study.

On my 19th birthday, my girlfriend slept with my uni mate.

I've never let anyone know when my birthday is since, for fear of disappointment.

The number of hot women hanging out at Waxy O'Conners tonight. Holy Shit! I'm going there more often on Friday nights.
Had a work night out. It was really good! Everyone eventually went home except myself and the boss. Him completely pissed on wine, He decides to talk about his online porn viewing habits all night and how he hates political correctness...Monday morning is certainly going to be interesting.

Vied for a tag related to cocks, so here it is.
Ohhh shit I'm 21 now. Had a good night getting drunk at a friend's who had a free house, strong dry cider always does the trick. Can't wait for the weekend.

Oh gawd. Long story short, I went out, my single and desperate friend picked up a single and desperate and really quite drunk girl. WHen I get home, my missus is so pissed off that she's crying. What do?

I don't really think the girl was so drunk she didn't know what she was doing. She was pretty hammered yeah, and my mate could and should be doing better but I really don't know what to say to my wife. I think her anger is pretty much unwaranted and if she felt so strongly she should have said so at the time.

Sigh. Tomorrow will be interesting. Advice welcome if you got it folks.

Your wife's probably drunk. Not to be rude about it but I wouldn't take what she's saying or feeling at face value. Now if she feels the same way tomorrow tell her you'll have a chat with your mate. In the meantime just go to bed and sleep off the booze.

One of the reasons I stopped reading the paper.

Yes, the Moors murders. Every parent's nightmare times several.

It's understandable. Not necessarily the crime, but the reaction.

Wait - your wife is annoyed because your friend picked up a drunk girl, or because you went with him out whilst he picked up a drunk girl? Did your wife go out too?

Sounds like something that should blow over a little in the sober light of day

Best of luck!

Yup. There was an accident, she died through their negligence (which is an offence that carries a prison sentence in Portugal), they buried her and claimed she went missing. The gang of eight have continually lied and stifled the investigation of the Portuguese police, all of them are guilty of covering up a crime. The parents are guilty of a massive waste of police time and resources and of being negligent.

I spoke to my wife this morning about this and she's immovable in her position, so I don't necessarily think it was the drink (weren't too drunk anyway, was a 4 pinter of an evening). I think it's more to do with our relatively sober friend picking up the drunkest girl in the club after having swung and missed with the entire female population of the place. It's that whole male-low-standards-when-single thing that she doesn't really see in person very often. I'm a bit more pragmatic about it since I know boys are gross (being one) but I still think my mate was a dick for picking the girl up like that.

It reminded me of Galloway's distinction between 'sexual misconduct' and something worse. My missus thinks it's something worse, I just think it was a dick move.

You're mate is an absolute Jeremy. Never pick up drunk girls while sober. Anyone like that would stop being my friend pretty quickly as it speaks volumes about one's personality. Taking advantage of drunk girls is very, very low.

When keepin it real goes wrong. Very, very wrong.
People should be entering clubs after a lot more than 4 pints. I'm a man of peace now a days so take this with a grain of salt.

To enter a club one must be completely fucked or just on the fine line to get in the door before hitting the shots.

Solves any issues regarding the line of rape and sex.

The only benefit of not being able to drink for 18 months- I could get absolutely fucked off a tenner.

I've had some real falling out with friends over this in the last year or so. Its kind of pathetic.


Edit: I'll be very drunk tonight though, got a 6 pack of Amstel and a bottle of Bacardi Oakheart to drink before i hit the bars.

I was under the impression that this kinda stuff was just normal practice for a night out if you're young and single?
 
It isn't rape (though I would personally class it as such and hope they law changes even if it makes cases more complicated), but it's extremely scummy and about the lowest form of human behaviour.
 
So my mate's wedding went really well today. The cupcakes went down a treat. My reading went fine. All was good. I danced my ass off, slid to the floor on my knees and head banged whilst air guitaring to Europe, and am now very drunk in my hotel room. A successful day.

Woah, Bacardi Oakheart is very nice, barely noticed it going down and had suddenly finished the bottle.

Bumped into my long term crush but my friends dragged me away after about 5 mins, ended up tongue deep in some not so attractive girl who i think wanted to wear me as a necklace.

Needless to say ran away, large mixed donor and home. Had some gypsy in the taxi rank wanting to be my best friend and wanting to split a taxi with me. My knees hurt from dancing to Niggas in Paris in EVERY BAR WE WENT IN.

I concur.

I've always shared the bolded sentiment. It bothers me that there are probably people out there who's children have been snatched due to no fault of their own. Zero negligence on their part, and we will probably never hear of them. Yet these asses decided to leave their young children unattended in a foreign country and thusly are never out of the media and are constantly demanding more done. I mean, they wouldn't need more help if they had just done the very minimum amount of parenting required.

But hey, at least the get free VIP box seats to F.A. Cup semi final.

Maturity, bitches.
So it's almost 4 in the morning and someone is playing the drum and/or bass super loud.

EDIT: and on great I can't even lodge a complaint because the council's noise complaints departments closes at 4am and in 2012 they don't even have an email address so I can't even at least give them a note that their was some piss poor music being played at ridiculous hours in the morning.

EDIT2: Well I found a general email and sent a complaint. I think I worked out which neighbour it is.
 
I've gone and knocked on my neighbour's door a couple of times and asked them to turn their music down. Pesky kids.

My head hurts :( why did we think jäger was a good idea.
 

BGBW

Maturity, bitches.
The music went on till after 6am. Is it illegal to just slip an anonymous note calling them jeremies through their letter box?

Problem was I was just too tired and wanted to sleep. Problem the same story with the rest of the neighbours which is why no one else did anything. THe whole "someone else will do it" mentality.

Spout, handle, lid of metal. What's inside the singing kettle?

Visiting my nieces has brought some intense nostalgia.

Edit: holy shit this was popular worldwide?! I thought it was mostly Scotland and some of England.

jesus christ thats a good deal. chub? you'll lose weight from all dat lean fish
Rules of Sumo Sundays:
- £19.50
- As much food as you want off the belt (but no grey or yellow plates), unlimited miso and green tea. No custom orders.
- Everyone in your group has to do Sumo Sundays.
- You have to finish everything you pick off the plate. No half-eaten stuff.
- One hour time limit.

You can rack up the £20 of food very quickly and then it's just pure savings from there on out. I ate £35 of stuff today as I wasn't feeling too hungry.

Lean fish is good, yes, but that's a lot of rice, too!

But yeah, felt like a healthy-ish refresher feast after the normal Saturday pizza+soda gorging.

I dont know if i should go back to amsterdam or benidorm this October.. The choice is killing me. FML.

Making some Mince and tatties with a side dish of puff pastry. This meal will hit the spot of all spots.
 
Funnily enough Suairyu, I was at Yo! Sushi today too. Though they stopped putting food on the belt once we'd all racked up 10 plates each...
