I got the code texted to me in english, but now I'm getting one randomly around every 5 hours in russian instead. I have like 4 games on it so idk who would even want my account if that's what's happening.

You should get some teabags and teach them how to make a cup of tea, rather than that thing they do where they give you a cup of hot water with a [sp]liptons[/sp] teabag next to it

my facebook feed has been nothing but those fucking "elf on the shelf" memes for the past week. why don't normal people understand that jokes become less funny over time?

[QUOTE=halflife_123;52704366]I got a free coffee today at Greggs as I had filled my reward card, so that was good. I hope in the aftermath of the upcoming nuclear war we still have Greggs in some capacity.[/QUOTE] We shall be lifted, as a nation, when we see the shape of a homely lady in a blue apron manfully steering a trolley of sausadge rolls and egg and ham slabs between blast craters and flaming piles of still-screaming children to reach the foxhole we've dug amongst our own dead pets and the skulls of all the rich people.

[QUOTE=IAreLegend;52711334]my facebook feed has been nothing but those fucking "elf on the shelf" memes for the past week. why don't normal people understand that jokes become less funny over time?[/QUOTE] Because Facebook is a bag of shit.

Fucking house-goblins stole most of a part-baked baguette. First some doughnaughts now a baguette, when will it end?

Anyone's theaters suddenly become IMAX screens despite absolutely zero changes to their structures? I went to a showing of Dunkirk and the screen felt smaller than usual, whereas normally it'd cover the whole wall it seemed shrunk. We didn't see it in IMAX.

Just remember to strip over the tripwire unless you want to meet several hundred ball bearings at 900fps. That will deal with your goblin problem. [editline]25th September 2017[/editline] Don't worry, it's more humane than poison. The goblin doesn't feel a thing as a fistful of lead pellets shreds it asunder.

I just watched my car get loaded onto a wagon, off to scrapyard in the sky [t]https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Bh2G2YfIgAACSlm.jpg[/t]

Aaaand I'm back at uni. Got rear ended on the motorway coming down which sucked, but the car was largely alright and so was my stuff. Beautiful internet connection here :dance:

Just started an intensive 5 day driving course. I'm struggling to keep my foot off the clutch, since it seems I ought to use that more than my break pedal. I probably should've taken some time off before starting this, I've worked 3 full weeks/weekends in a row just now and I'm dead on my feet. 6 hours in a car a day probably isn't helping.

Supermarket carpark cameras/fines are the sleaziest, scummiest shit ever and Aldi can wave fuckety-bye to any chance of future patronage from me, the fleecing fuck-fingered wastrels. [editline]26th September 2017[/editline] I like how they refer to it as a "fine" and not saber-rattling childish extortion like it actually is. Shitehawks..

There's a few Tesco Metros near me which have the same system (2 or 4 hours max stay signs with a parking company's name).

I can't believe it would have cost me £30+ pounds for cinema tickets alone to see IT recently. Luckily I used the office perk of getting cheaper tickets (£7 per ticket) and saved a bunch. But I was redeeming them online and saw how much I would have paid, it made my jaw drop.
