Best thread of the last week, I'd say. Some outstanding stories on display.

Glad to hear you're doing ok Zombiefred
I'm thinking of having a flat-warming party around the beginning of October after I moved all my stuff but I've yet to introduce myself to my neighbours. Does anyone have any funny house party/weird neighbours stories?
I met my neighbors (and best friends here) on a drunk night home. I was walking home drunkenly (as I tend to do) and had bought a pack of cookies from the off license. Stumbled into a couple on the walk home and offered them some cookies.
Got to talking and as we were getting closer to my flat I was like oh where do you guys live? They were like ugh dude were your neighbors! Haha, always a weird story...maybe not though.
Sadly they are moving back to aus in 2 weeks. Gonna miss them.

Oh my, yes. Today I overheard one teacher describing her entire new class as bland, mediocre people. Nobody slags off people as well as poshos.
I like Dec 1st since it's very shortly after payday and I will definitely have money then
the deeper we get into the month, the less disposable income I have.Thing is a lot of the meltdowns also happened outside of GAF, especially on Twitter. Just skim through it until you see screenshots. Also the first page will be full of people who watched the WiiU stream so chances are they are happy with the news.
Or do you prefer one off post that get someone banned like post 59 here:

Ok so are you saying that 1st is the only date you can do? Cos I'm just going to count up the days everyone says they can do and obviously the highest count will be it.

I might be able to do the 8th yeah, it's just a little less likely than the 1st. But, disasters permitting I should be cool.
Couldn't tell. I don't work for the BBC.

Not on PC.
Done.
EDIT: I assume its Edinburgh University you're refering to? there's 3 universities in Edinburgh. All very good. Great city with lots to do. What more do you want?
What subject?
Lancaster or Cardiff.

Cardiff is awesome, I went there. I've heard great things about Edinburgh and Newcastle also.
I couldn't imagine someone from England coming up here to study and be perfectly fine with the fact that all the Scottish and anyone from the EU was getting their fee's paid for them. I know it makes no difference because you'll still get charged if you studied in England but I'd be pissed.
If you come to Edinburgh though, it's a lovely city. I study here and I'd probably pick it over Glasgow. So diverse and generally quite nice.

That still must've been a shock when you discovered that your new friends lived really nearby. At least you didn't need to take down an address
Sucks to hear about them leaving to Aus though. Aren't you heading there next year? or was it HK? At least you'll see them again anyway.Have fun at oktoberfest and remember to bring some beer back for the rest of us!

Came to England recently for some family stuff on the 14th, but I wasn't able to really check shit online till now. Anyway, now that business is taking care of, and rather than make a new thread about asking GAF on what cool shit there is to do in London, I thought I'd ask here.
I'm in harrow at the moment and I can kill two days just doing nothing, and I really don't want to just spend it at home. Haven't been here in 4 years or so, so I'm pretty clueless. Anyone got any advice on what I can do in London or something? I'll just be rolling on my lonesome.

Harrow?!? Well in that case ask whoever you are staying with to take you to Regency for dinner one evening. Best Indian restaurant in London and probably in the country. Your friend/family will know where it is, but if not then go to Queensbury Circle, you have to buzz to get in as it is technically a private members club.
Otherwise check out the Shard, southbank and all that guff. If you want to shop head to Westfield, but coming from the US it will seem expensive because of the mighty pound.
...but pasta dishes are so easy (and so much tastier) to make from scratch
You're elitist about the weirdest things.
I don't have half a block of cheddar in my fridge right now to make some homemade mac n cheese.
The English won't understand why us Scottish, Canadians, Americans love kraft cheesy pasta so much.
You could say this about making pasta from scratch, though.
Meh, 10 minutes is nothing, though.
I don't see the problem - all the packet stuff tastes like crap compared to actually making it yourself.
If you're worried about cooking pasta then you're gonna have some real difficulty making a proper meal!
You're not supposed to eat the box.
Tastes 100 percent different. Buy it from Amazon asap.

Not everyone has time to cook a 3 course meal when there about to leave the house in a dash.
