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

Man up, stick any old shite in your mouth. You're ordering local takeaway I wouldn't expect hygiene or quality. In fact it really needs to be cooked by a sweaty man in a wife beater who doesn't wash his hands after a piss

[QUOTE=Thechuz1337;52779384]I've actually got a fun update to this. We had no pens, UV light etc to check the notes, I told him that if I accidentally take a fake £20, then I'll apologise but I will not pay for it. Especially with no tools to do so properly. My manager is a genuinely nice guy but I think he's been told false by his boss. Anyway, after he kept testing us with one of the fake 20's we had in, I did the same to him as I was leaving the shop going home. "Oh I forgot I need to grab a bottle of vodka for tonight", paid with the fake £20 under the till and then got my vodka and change. Couldn't help but burst out laughing immediately, I've never seen a man go that red before. Either way, he apologised. Today we suddenly have a lot of new fake checker pens and a UV light in. Manager messages me apologising again and said we're not going to get docked if we take them but keep an eye out.[/QUOTE] Your manager sounds like a slap-up lad for taking it in good humor and for actually getting you the tools you need.

[QUOTE=SuperLoz;52779835]fuck takeaways, man - go to asda/tesco and buy a chicago town pizza for £3. You save a fiver and it won't be shit[/QUOTE] Chicago town & co are pretty nice for the price but they're never going to measure up to a greasy takeaway pizza.

[QUOTE=loopoo;52779442]Wake-atays rant[/QUOTE] I don't know if I've mentioned it before, but there's a great Chinese place near me that I like to go to. I try buying local, but I end up preferring to get McD's or BK's with those vouchers you get on the backs of bus tickets around here. £2 for a Big Mac and medium chips or a mini-heartstopper bacon double cheeseburger but small chips. It brings it in line with the local places but I just hate supporting mass-deforestation and the inhuman treatment of the workforce. I could never let myself get mad at any employee there, even if the local BK's service is terrible. That just means it's honest.

PSA to anyone out there who has lactose intolerance but still gets bloated and gassy after bread / pasta: for the longest time, I thought I was madly lactose intolerant, but it was always confusing when I'd get bloated after eating bread and pasta. I attributed this to the fact that there must be dairy in whatever I'd cooked (pasta I normally make creamy stuff, bread was usually sandwiches with coleslaw). Been this way for the past 6 years of my life, never known any different than to eat these foods and end up ripping the meanest farts known to man, and generally having a really upset stomach afterwards. I thought gluten free was a fad that soccer mums did, I was pretty misinformed and didn't realise people with celiac disease have legitimate gluten intolerance, or that gluten intolerance was even a thing. I've just eaten a gluten free chicken caesar wrap (heavy on the caesar sauce with milk and cheese) and it's been 30 mins and my stomach is stone cold calm. No bubbling, no angry noises. Do yourselves a favour and get tested for gluten intolerance if this sounds like you. If after eating bread / pasta you end up with a nasty case of bubble gut, you're probs gluten intolerant. This is kind of a surreal experience, all these years I was convinced I had really bad lactose intolerance, but it turns out I just have gluten intolerance with mild lactose intolerance (downing a whole glass of milk gives me the farts, but I can eat small amounts without suffering). Feels fucking weird being able to eat a cheesy creamy sandwich without breaking out into a farting mess ten minutes later. I'm hype thinking about how I can eat filling food now during lectures and not spend the entire day bottling up my gases, that was always the worst. Or dates, where I'd drop her off home and instantly just let out a 5 minute long toot.

What about if you regularly eat all the pasta in Italy and feel fine but feel a bit neh after bread?

then you're probs okay since both contain gluten. when you say neh, what do you mean by that? was gonna say you might have a sensitivity to bread but tbh they both contain wheat, so i dunno man.

I think it's just either me or the fact that I finally moving that's causing a bloated feeling. Or the fact that I've not eaten bread for a while. Toast is more ok, strangely enough.

I was worried for a second there because I usually take a massive dump after my midday sandwich but then I remember I wash it down with a cup of Grande Intenso and always lather a shitload of cheese ontop when both cause me to shit like a howitzer.

Just as I recovered from a running injury in my foot I go and break my fucking toe.

[QUOTE=Thechuz1337;52781505]Just as I recovered from a running injury in my foot I go and break my fucking toe.[/QUOTE] That's what you get for doing exercise. Hope it's not too bad though.

[QUOTE=benbb;52781722]That's what you get for doing exercise. Hope it's not too bad though.[/QUOTE] Well the toe was because I was drunk last night and fell through a door. But it's not too bad.

Through a door? What.

[QUOTE=Clive;52782073]Through a door? What.[/QUOTE] Sorry, an open door, foot smacked the bottom bracket as I fell haha.

i seem to have a total fucking inability to ask out a girl for a drink/dinner etc. the fear of rejection is paralysing. anyone else? also ken this isn't the love advice thread but you're all uk lads so you'll tell me to have a few tins and a just eat and that's ok

fear of rejection is a garbage fear to have, cause 6 months down the line you'll look back and think "fuck my life, i should have just asked her cause who gives a shit if she said no" cause seriously 6 months from now this moment you're living won't even matter you'll also be pleasantly surprised when you meet a girl who can politely turn you down without things getting awkward, that's a p good feeling.

I know - easier said than done. But worst case scenario, she says no, it's awkward for a few minutes - and so what? Then you're back where you started. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take and all that. If it makes it any easier for you, don't even frame it as a romantic thing or whatever, just "I'm off for a pint/something to eat, coming?". If she's already into you to any degree the answer will probably be yes unless she already has other plans or obligations; if she's not, asking her on a date would be unlikely to change that. You don't need to date someone for there to be mutual attraction - and that mutual attraction is more a prerequisite to a date than an outcome. Anyway, the best advice I've ever received for all things in life: learn to love failure, whether that be rejection by a bird, turned down for a job, playing sports or even video games competitively. Because you can't learn from doing nothing, but you can learn from failure (Except in life/death situations, which these scenarios really aren't). Real failure is not trying at all.

I've never acted anyone out, I know for sure I'm not ready for a relationship. How could I accept feelings from anyone else if I can't even accept them from myself?

It feels better once shit's out in the open and if she says no then it's easier to move on knowing we weren't suited for each other.

It sucks getting turned down but it sucks more feeling like a sissy who didn't have the courage to ask and find out. I have been with my gf for coming up 7 years now and it never would have happened had I been passive and not taken that leap. I used to be an ultra weenie and anxious just being any place where there were people I didn't know but somewhere along the line I just stopped caring and I feel like my self esteem skyrocketed. Also I think fake it til you make it definitely applies here because if you convince yourself to act like you are confident enough times you eventually do become confident. - Been in excruciating pain for the past week...I'm not registered with a dentist and all the ones near me are full. I have always had perfect teeth and brush every day etc but my one and only filling fell out a few years ago and really stupidly I didn't go and get it sorted then a few weeks ago out of nowhere half my tooth just crumbled away while eating and I realized that it's pretty bad underneath. I'm guessing I have an abscess now putting pressure on a nerve because unless I take 2x paracetamol and 2x382mg ibuprofen every 4 hours I'm in unbelievable pain and anything I try to do to relieve it just makes it twice as bad for a bit, but I'm also worried because you really aren't meant to be taking that many painkillers for as long as I have been (The 382mg ibuprofen is only meant to be max 6 a day) As far as A&E dentistry goes what can they actually do? Had a friend who last year was in tears and his jaw was visibly swollen because his tooth was so bad and I'm sure they said they couldn't do anything for him in A&E and he had to wait like a month or two to get a dentist to sort it. tl;dr weeks of excruciating tooth pain is one of the worst things an average person can experience, don't be an idiot and get your teeth checked even if it means having to have a filling or two. Really makes you feel sorry for people that need to live with chronic pain...

I really know nothing about it but you can try ringing NHS 111, they'll give you advice and will tell you what A&E can do for you, and what to do if they can't do anything [editline]16th October 2017[/editline] getting in with a dentist is a pain in the ass though. until pretty recently I had all the symptoms of gum disease (bad breath, bleeding gums, all that shit) and I wasn't registered with anywhere. all I needed was my teeth cleaned by a dentist and it took ages to find somewhere.

I asked someone out and one thing led to another and now I'm in the middle of the baltic sea going to Estonia to buy old Soviet military equipment from the black market I wish I was making this up because I'm not

oo aland islands, grab that rare flagdog while you can boys

I was debating with my coworkers the other day what they get out of gawking at women and I legitimately still don't understand it. I've never looked at a girl or a guy and gone "phwoar lookit them, phwoar those legs" like people nudge me and point out all the time. Am I just more maladjusted than I thought? [editline]16th October 2017[/editline] Similarly how they don't understand why I can't get into a relationship based on looks. I just can't covet aesthetics in a sexual manner. For me, sex is the act of rumpy pumpy and nowt else. When it comes to actual [b]relationship[/b] shit it has to be an impeccable, magnetic connection between me and the other person. I've only had it happen once and I doubt it'll happen again. It's not some Soul Mate shit but the parameters that birthed a mentalist like me are so few and far between that locking hands with someone just like me is never gonna happen again. Maybe I'm just a huge narcissist.
