stupid first world problems you're dealing with

Dealing with solicitors is bullshit. I'm sure this information is brand new to nobody.

you can run multiple OS on one pc right, would that help?

found out this absolutely gorgeous, smart, interesting Indian girl I've been talking to is married to some ponce 17 years older than her. what a crock.

there is no sex in the champagne room

Is that a quote from a David Lynch movie?

I'm itching for a new laptop, and I saw a couple at the HP online store that looked promising. But I'll have to wait til October to order a new one cos I get a special annual stipend then, simply for being a resident where I live. My current one is five years old now.

Looks like it's time to kick my drug habit.

Wish me luck, WATMM.

Hey thanks, mate.

Opiates.

It's funny, I'm not a party type. Opiates are the only drug I've touched in years. And for a long time it did a really good job of chilling out my bipolar.

But lately they just make me feel numb and depressed. Time to quit*.

*But if there comes a time in the future where it appears I'm under-medicated, I will 100% choose opiates over upping my dosage of Seroquel and suffering those side-effects...blech

I'm trying to enjoy listening to Music for Airports, but my neighbor is blasting out Carry On My Wayward Son.

Time to throw on some DJ Shitmat at full blast.

Well it's not called Music for Your Apartment, is it?

Considering the complete disregard I have for my neighbours when I play some unnecessarily loud techno, I'm not in a position to complain.

How's that for a problem.

hilarious. I thought I was the only one that does that when I want to annoy my neighbors. Clash And Carry (Old Socks Remix)

asked car servicing people to check air con unit back light because one of the bulbs was out probably needed replacing. Take car home and as it gets dark returning home from supermarket i find that it isn't fixed, probably the fuse that was the problem. Ring up the service department to complain because, i work at night so dash illumination is crucial, the tech could have at least checked to see if the fucking thing that he fixed worked or not. Incompetence is built in to our society at this point, anyone good is out competed by the liars and the bullies, they're out there but finding them in such a crowded marketplace is down to chance or word of mouth and in an area as nebulous to the customer as car service, how is one to judge the outcome and merit of anyone's labour? Even though these people are out there, their influence for the betterment of society is muted, they can't pass on their tradition to the apprentice of the double double double check. meh. This is how we ended up with no manufacturing, a society of carpet salesmen*, with no direction and tony abbot as prime minister.

* my euphemism for just reselling overseas made goods. Also, i've had trouble with these people before doing stupid things through negligence or just plain laziness, so i'm not being hyper critical.

I feel so fortunate to know a reputable garage, thanks to it being run by a long-known friend of the family. Getting an MOT or repair at short notice is a breeze, mates rates on parts (even though I tell him not to), boy do I count my blessings for having such a useful connection. It's funny because he's an old-school mechanic, although it's his business he still gets his hands dirty, and mostly takes the piss out of his young mechanics for relying on all the diagnostic tools rather than understanding how things actually work under the hood

Do a google search and read the reviews? That's how I found my mechanic.

Also if you've had trouble with them before, why continue to reward them with your custom?

Befriend a mechanic. One guy comes into my shop and we give him discounts on all his cannabis related products and in turn he does work for cost+whatever bud that doesn't cost me anything. He fixed something I got a quote of 675$ on for about 275$.

Sorry to hear your car is eating shit man

^^^ also sound advice :)

Befriend Richard, then you'll have all the ladies and cars and money you want.

you're obsessed pafr. He's probably not reading this thread you know, shall we chalk that up as a fwp problem for you then eh. heh.

yeah you're right but there's only two peugeot dealers in this city and i'm one of those sad gits that like to get things done at the dealership through some perception that it'll mean my car's value degrades at a marginally slower rate. Of course if you count the extra it's probably costing me to go there on labour and parts i'm probably losing big time, but the whole moving to some little guy somewhere who might need my car over a couple of days while he gets something shipped in or whatever and he could still be a crook cause most of them seem to be, scares me. Next time i'll be taking it to the other dealership though, we'll see how they do a major service.

@ audioB my car is ok, i like having a car and all things considered this one has served me very well so far, it's economical, comfortable, drives well and i think that it looks nice, others may not like the french thing. heh

fwp...

I've been training for the last 4 weeks using a new system I've made up. I've put on 8lbs of muscle and lost about 1.5% body fat. That's all good.

But I'm busting out of my clothes, especially my shirts. In another month I'm going to need a new wardrobe =/
