United Kingdom chat thread V4: lamb rogan josh, £3 meal deals, and brexit - General

I didn't think it was possible to cringe this hard

The Inbetweeners is 10 years old wtf

just like your gf

I always enjoy seeing certain posts in the facebook selling and free groups. Am I the only one that thinks this takes the piss? 32" is fucking large as well, my PC monitor is only 22". https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/222670/19769d07-145d-4287-ac1b-6fd7c18a03fe/wew.png

Is a bit of a piss take, but still 32" isn't that big these days, we've got a 32" TV in our bedroom I bought it 10 years ago for £300. If I didn't have a use for it I'd rather give it away than throwing it

32" isn't too bad for a tv considering you usually don't have to sit as close to a tv as a monitor, but it's still cheeky. You can play bingo with these posts. I remember once seeing something like "my autistic disabled son with a broken leg who can't play football is sad because his cat died last week needs an xbox" (i can't remember it off the top of my head but there was loads more in there, really painting this kids life as tragic "he has no friends" etc) And then when someone actually offered this woman a fucking xbox 360 for free - she was like "no must be xbox one"

does anyone know how long it takes to get a reply for an ESA application? i sent mine in to my local jobcentre coming up to two weeks ago now and i havent heard a thing from anyone

Chase them up then, I heard back in two weeks.

will do

I wonder if I miss my hometown or not most of the time, I go back every so often but I always come up remembering why I left the place It takes me so long to adjust to change, and I hold memories super dearly to me, but when I go back home, the place has either turned into such a shithole or its the fact I've grown up to now only just realise it.

My gf signed me up to do parkrun for some reason. Considering I smoke, haven't run since school and mostly survive on sausages, i didn't do as bad as I thought i would (I didn't suffer cardiac arrest)

That's awesome, try keep it up! I'm not an exercise freak by any means but I discovered I absolutely love running when I have the time. Getting yourself signed up for events is a good way to improve over time, the looming day makes you want to get out and practice more.

More or less the same, last time I did any running was the 800m in high school, I was the last one on the track killing my asthmatic ass, but I had the whole school chanting my name towards the end, it was like a heart warming end to a shitty late 90s American comedy.

Thanks, I don't plan on becoming a runner. I said maybe I should do it, to be a bit healthy and she just signed me up. I didn't run much of it, and had the same problem I did whenever i had to run at school where my ears and throat would hurt. I'm going to keep at it though

I've started running over the past few months, and aside from my flat feet causing some pain in the shins I've felt so much better for it. It just works. Would encourage anyone to do it tbh (unless you're quite heavy, you'd be doing more damage than good!)

Nice weather, glad I get to spend it in a spoons kitchen while my family go to the beach hehe ☺️

Yeah I'm working a straight 16 days so no sun for me

It just hit me yesterday that 'spoons is basicly just an retirement home.

why?

I am so crispy after this weekend, my factor 30 failed me miserably

My factor 50 did me well over the past two days but it seems I might have got sunburned sitting in my bedroom today, fucking ginger life.

My neck always burns no matter what I use on it and the rest of my body just stays white...

The ability to not get sunburnt in the UK is a godsend, watched everyone wake up this morning to being red as a lobster meanwhile I wasn't even red mmm

I managed to slather myself pretty decently - EXCEPT the tips of my fucking ears. I look like one of these goddamn things. https://www.railengineer.uk/wp-content/uploads/2018/03/shutterstock_774078325-1440x960.jpg

i havent used sun tan lotion since i was about 10, i spent most of the day outside over the weekend but im still as pale as i was on friday, i don't get it

So glad to be coming back to England, fed up of tiny Japanese people staring and talking about me and taking pictures of me from across the road. I feel so sorry for my girlfriend, she's here for nearly another three months.

I was sat talking with somebody and in the space of 10 minutes my face has burnt and I've come out in freckles everywhere I'm a secret ginger

Just in time to miss the scorching weekend we had. We managed to fit 3 BBQs into 3 days and got the gardening mostly done so I think that's good value for sunshine. I remember AbroadInJapan had a segment in one of his videos about how in some parts of Japan white people are treated like rockstars because its so uncommon for them to see anyone other than Japanese people, if I remember right he said most people are kinda OK, just pointing/staring/taking pictures, but some people can be really quite rude following you around trying to talk to you and stuff.

Yeah, I was prepared for a few looks and whatnot, but this was ridiculous. Felt like I'd just rolled into Innsmouth.
