don't know how to nicely add "your wife doesn't need to come along" to messages to friends when I ask them to come over and jam.

wtf? that should be common knowledge. has this actually happened before or are you just anticipating that it might? you could always just let her come over and then noise jam until she never wants to come back again.

For the life of me I can never remember how to view the stats on how many posts per user there are within a thread. It's something really obvious too.

 

I think this feature is hidden now, but you can still do it. use this link and substitute the topic ID (that last number in the url) as necessary.

 

lol @ those results btw

lol indeed. My fears are confirmed.

Having trouble deciding who's range of Indian ready made meals are best, Waitrose or Marks & Spencer.

I like to think that there's a mother somewhere in a third world country wagging her finger at

a child, saying you don't know how luck you are, think of those poor first world children,

with all their problems, like not having enough coins to buy the Phoenix Gem bonus

on Bejeweled Blitz. How would you like that? You wouldn't! So, shut up and get on with

sifting thru that pile of landfill. Those scraps of metal aren't going to find themselves.

Christ, I've been there. If it's any small comfort I managed to get through it and found my peace. It came down to the quality of the sundries.

Old mate we truly are twins from the same egg. If it comes down to sundries I think Waitrose clinches it,

but that doesn't sit right with me for some reason, which leads me to believe that M&S is the answer I really seek.

the m+s vs waitrose debate is an old and arduous one, but i think waitrose takes it for me, only just though.

fwp, saving up 1500 to buy a tempest, having it sitting there in cash, and then the debt collectors for an old debt ive been pushing under the carpet turning up and demanding 1200 quid. dick heads.

I seem to have lost the courage to just fucking say to a girl "hey you're kinda cool, want to have a drink sometime?". It's highly annoying.

Just run through your head what the scenario will go like if you fail miserably. Once you imagine it you'll likely find it's not that bad and if you can live with it then you're golden.

Yeah, good point. I guess I'll just see if she wants to have a friendly drink sometime and see if anything comes from that.

UPDATE: I got her number!

my bird bought me some beckham pants from h&m. they feel pretty good and sculpt my cock n balls into a perfect package... but it says 'david beckham' on them.

I've got two which are closely related.

1 - Tuna salad for lunch as usual and I've bought some salad from home and used a bit which has been in my work fridge since Thursday (bank holiday an' all). The stuff from my work fridge has been mixed with the newer stuff from home but it all tastes of yogurt. A strong Muller type taste. I don't want a salad that tastes like yogurt but now I fancy a yogurt and only have a small satsuma for the rest of the day.

2 - The aforementioned newer salad was found to contain a bit of rocket. I go specifically out of my way to buy bags of salad that don't contain rocket and one sneaks past all the stringent checks. Now I'm spending long times rummaging around the container in case there's an outbreak. No wonder everyone's been eating nothing but horse from the start of eternity, you can't tell the difference by just looking at it but I'm pretty sure if you're in the bagged salad business you know what is and what isn't rocket. How could they possible fuck up this badly?

what's your beef with rocket?

I wanted to buy a copy of The Thing (1982) on Blu Ray. Found out there's a steelbook version. Sounded good, bit of fancy em/debossing with a frosty design to reflect the film's setting, I thought... until I put my eyes on the monstrosity:

Whoever at Universal signed off on that deserves to be consumed by a shape-shifting alien entity themselves.

I don't like it.

That's pretty much it, I just don't like the taste. Same goes with parsley.

there's a 320kbps mp3 version too, not sure if that's better or worse since idk anything about formats except that vbr has a smaller file size and still sounds good.

Finally hit by the modern-day phenomenon of being left a delivery card yet no attempt made to deliver packages. I know this, because I've been in the house all morning. All I heard was a faint shuffle downstairs earlier, no door knock or doorbell (we have TWO).

Going to the depot shortly to collect the items that likely never left in the first place. I wouldn't want to be the person on the counter if said packages are not there waiting for me.

check the card first. sometimes it says it won't be available for collection til 24 hours after "delivery attempt".

ps: i feel like i'm sitting under a strong light but i'm not.

I forgot to mention that the only detail on the card that's been hastily scrawed on is the time/date, address, and number of items. No reason for non-delivery. No specific indication of where it is. Box stating 'please leave [ ] hours' incomplete.

sue them for consuming your freedom

Surprise surprise, the packages were at the depot. "Oh, you're lucky, they've only come in today." Yeah, and they probably never went out either... told the guy what happened, he said he "knew the driver" and would 'have a word'. Hopefully that's Royal Mail slang for 'severe reprimand involving brass knuckles'.

Rage justified as it was my Ceephax vinyl

I can't seem to get around to sending off my insurance for my stolen phone. *sigh*

Right now I'm having top use my old iPhone 2 which has no internet on it.

there's no T on my BLT

Outrageous !
