I got IDd by an old lady in Sainsbury's when I was buying a tiny bottle of wine for cooking (along with the other ingredients for a delicious spag bol). I'm 28 years old and I think I look it. I have a full beard. I have tattoos. I have a wedding ring. I have a woefully receeding hairline. You can't see it by looking at me, but I have a mortage as well.
So I says to the lady, listen... I know in theory that kids can get tattoos and get married and some kids have crazy hormones so they get all hairy or go bald early. But seriously, show me the fucking kid that has all of these things at the same time, and I show you a poor youth who deserves the right to jump the cue and get drunk a few years early.
This doesn't work. So I ask her, how old do you think I look? And she looks at me carefully, narrows her eyes a little. 24, she says. My eyes bug out a little. So 24 is still 6 years over the drinking age, right? She nods. And I'm 28, so I'm definitely over 24. She nods. So why no sale? Well, we can't serve anyone who doesn't look over 25.
BUT I'M A FUCKING 28 YEAR OLD WHO LOOKS 24. BY ANY KIND OF RETARD MATHS I'M STILL OLD ENOUGH TO BUY THIS POXY BOTTLE OF WINE SO I CAN COOK SOME FUCKING DINNER! I'm not going to binge drink in the park on a large glass of fucking boujoulais am I you jobsworthy cunt?
Woah, don't know what came over me there. Bad memories.
Suffice to say, my spag bol was severely lacking that evening.

I feel old when I go to Tesco's and buy booze not being ID'd. They normally are the most draconian about it.

I never get into places because I always look drunker than I do in my ID.

So do they like, hunt down a gay man for every week of Come Dine with Me? Doesn't matter what city, they always find a gay man with an ethnic partner who wants to take part in the show...
And they're always really flamboyant too. I know a couple of gay dudes and they don't act anything like the stereotypes.

6.5 hard, 4ish flopped.
meh.
Got some bad anxiety today guys, they fucking drugs i took on Friday are really fucking with my wiring
my apatite sucks to, took me like 30 minutes to eat a supermarket pizza
I know someone who was on that show and he's a flamboyant gay Italian. lol
and the one time the dude doesn't ID you he gets FIRED!
I'm 21 and sometimes the Dude or Miss dude was in my year at school so i don't get Id'ed like a Boss.
same with the bouncers at wetherspoons they just open the doors for me and i walk in like the king of falkirk.
i'm so depressed brother i needed to keep my mind off my bad anxiety.
I really could curl into a ball and cry right now my emotions are FUCKED :/
sorry to be a downer on the thread guys i'm just upset
just found out some dude was like all over my girlfriend and i was just standing there blank staring him out in my own little world.

Well yeah, they know their audience I guess!
Also on the gay tip, can anyone clue me in to if the show Coach Trip (C4, right now) is all gay couples or not? My misses has it on when I get in from work on Mondays and the people are both horrible and all seem to be quite gay. Some of them are definitely gay but the whole show is pinging my gaydar.
Ah no I don't think they are all gay, there was a boy girl couple on there. But the show is at least 75% gay. I also want to stress that there's nothing wrong with it, I'm just nosey...
Have you been reading this thread
i dunno sometimes it just happens , or sometimes people are just fiddly with them. i know someone who gets really bad anxiety attacks afterwards.

I'd agree. Think some of them might be siblings.
I'v stopped it all. I wont even be smoking weed.
I had the WORSE time of my life on that MKAT friday.
Bombed half a gram then snorted the other half.
My vision was so clear for hours it was horrible.
just everyone i came across knew i was out my face and avoided me.
popping the E later on made things 100x worse.
never again folks fuck that shit

At the risk of pouring petrol on a fire, maybe you should just have a good cry. It always sorts me out when I'm all imbalanced.
And it is also why I try not to do too many weekend drugs. I simply can't cope come Monday...
I consider myself half English half Swedish. :|
Well in London there's is the rule of keep to yourself while waiting for the bus.
I'd be up for that. It's either that or follow the GAF thread.
I have a signed bottle of Reggae Reggae Source. Antiques Roadshow 2052 here I come!
My teenage years were like Waterloo Road. It involved school.
Oh dear. That means theres a chance I got into a stupid Internet debate with her.
If you're in London there's a good one near Waterloo Station called Masters.
Getting ID'd is so random for me, but in general its usually the case if I'm with friends I get ID'd because they are getting ID's. In fact once I forgot mine at home so I just stepped back from the queue while they were being checked and then rejoined a few moments later and got it perfectly fine.
the monday blues
Doesn't help the club is no longer full of drug users there's was alot of middle class hipster types looking at me like i was the scum of the earth.
Drugs ain't my scene folks, I'v always enjoyed them like once a month in moderation but i took it to far on friday.
some dude speaking to me on speed when i was zoned on the mcat freaked me out to. The guy was like a huge rat talking complete shit moving around.
I'v seen hell and for some reason its making me feel a little better talking about it
lol watched that vid thats how my face looked, eyes like tennis balls and a mouth like a zombie eating himself.
i did quit. Drinking double bourbons in wetherspoons turned me into a complete jerk
I aint took a proper shit in days
If you have a passport for both then that's cool.

Bit of an odd question, but why not?
Anyone know of some good gaming publications that are likely to offer work placements?
Ideally in London or thereabouts, but I've been searching for ages and simply can't find anything - or even where to begin. Second year student so beginning to panic about what the future holds and experience seems pretty vital - done informal blogging with some people but that kind of stopped due to everyone returning to studies.
Also - Onion rings; breaded or battered?

I always laugh when I get ID'd, getting offended/indignant was something that I used to do when I was underage.

From what i've seen on the gaming side, seems like a lot of UK-gaf are SEGA fans, or atleast prefer them over Nintendo.
I remember reading the megadrive did better here so it makes sense.

I'm 22 and I don't bother carrying my photo ID with me. It's not a legal necessity to do so you know.
My first Nintendo console was the N64, up until that point I was Master System and Mega Drive all the way.
First handheld was a Game Boy, though.

So there was a crisis in your school every single day that got wrapped up nicely by home time? Cool!
I've never owned a Sega nor a Nintendo console. My family does have a Wii though which I'm going to adopt and love with REmake and a set of component cables. Do have a GBC and DSi though.
Always been Playstation and PC for me.

Indeed, I only carry ID when I know I may need it.
I was just joking, after he mentioned mortgage, wedding ring and such
My painkiller of choice too, sometimes for when I'm in pain.
WE HAVE TO!! I know it's stupid and so embarassing but we just have to ask or we risk loosing our jobs. It has happend at our store. Anyone who looks <25 and buys alcohol, cigarettes, lighters etc. has to be checked for ID (Think 25). Sorry.
edit: wtf, who invited Ireland?
Careful now.
