Superstitious nobs I did it when I was a teenager, then spontaneously decided to stop one day when I was 18. Within a few hours I'd been arrested, and was in trouble through a combination of bad judgment and bad luck. I've saluted (even if via a covert head scratch) ever since. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leemond2008 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Well that was **** horrific. It ain' just work, I think I know where my anti-social demeaour stems from. Me moms 60th tonight, just a few drinks and a curry and then home...you would think, my mom went mad at my sister for putting balloons up, my dad wanted to kill the bloke who served the food (because he put the curry on the plate before the rice, I do agree with my dad but if wasn't complaint worthy) and I'm sure my sisters fella was on the sniff, had massive problems with uber, and then I finally got home At one point I just got up and walked outside for a few minutes cuz it was doing my head in that much. In the grand scheme of things that doesn't sound too bad, I have condensed that massively, it was **** horrible, at some point of the night every single person has had s full on row with someone else...i just don't understand it. Any other Friday night equals 8 cans of Stella, a bag of nuts, a curry and music, that is infinitely more appealing to me that socialising (even with family) I know I always say it but a few years ago I would have been bang in the middle of it, **** me I would have been the cause of the chaos and it would have been on a much grander scale than that but these days...i just wanna be left alone. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjmooney Posted December 9, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted December 9, 2017 Can't say I blame you for avoiding the family rows, but sitting on your own drinking eight cans of Stella is not good. Socialising with other people is far healthier - the problem seems to be finding the right people to socialise with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superstitious nobs In line with the clearly universally shared love for hippy travellers I would like to say that while I don’t salute them, as such, I do say good morning to them and count them - one for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl and four... etc. I know it’s billed and all that, but my inner Attenborough loves nature and birds and it’s nice to acknowledge the wonders of the natural world.

Xela Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Looking at the amount of cars stuck and sliding around in the snow and ice outside my window, I can't help think is everyone's journey really necessary today? I know some will but its like friggin' Piccadilly Circus outside. Just stop at home - its a Sunday FFS! Whatever you are doing can wait! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sitting at my desk looking out the window at these buffoons attempting to climb a snow sodden icey hill in a 1.4 T reg Corsa. My message to them.. Give up and just stay in your f***ing house! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
