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

It's a nice little place to visit, never actually lived there and to be honest I wouldn't really want too. Seaside towns are generally run down, until the get to the front.

[QUOTE=loopoo;52867071]lads, i need you to lay into me and tell me if i'm being a little bitch about this: i've got a group of mates i hang out with, and two of em are constantly cracking jokes at other people's expense. like nonstop. went on a night out with them just expecting a laid back evening hanging out, but it was pretty much incessant barbed jokes. walked in 0% stress, left absolutely fuming and decided i ain't spending any more time with the fucks. i kinda blew up on them and told them you can't call it banter if you're just being a cunt. they said i just play the victim card. i have never ever had this issue with other groups i chill with. am i going fuckin crazy or are they assholes? all my other groups, we sit, chat, we joke with each other but it's never over the line, and it's always good natured.[/QUOTE] imo if people feel bad to be around or are down right arseholes then fuck em you're giving your time to hang with them if they don't appreciate it and you don't enjoy it then split

You're a lucky guy to have a group of friends like that in your old city loopoo Never had a group of friends like that sadly, think I have 2/3 friends at most lmao When I get my own place hopefully I'll be the place people can come chill

[QUOTE=cyclocius;52866643]I'm 25 in 10 days and I've got a bad back already and cracky ankles and knees. I'm fucked[/QUOTE] Me too, I'm 25 in 14 days. We almost have the same birthday. :dogsleep:

[QUOTE=loopoo;52868576]snip. [editline]8th November 2017[/editline] [/QUOTE] fuck em you'll be better off without and the life lesson will hopefully help you identity other toxic/abusive relationships in future. Better to learn and take a stand than to wake up in 6 years and realising you hate your life.

[QUOTE=BeAR!);52869264]it wont kill them, but im fairly sure conkers are a good spider deterrent[/QUOTE] I did some experiments with this and it doesn't do shit.

[QUOTE=loopoo;52869273]i've got a room in my apartment with a tonne of move-in boxes and other crap, i basically use it as a storage room. dreading the day i finally get around to clearing it out, cause i'm pretty sure it's a spider haven. i've caught a couple of the fuckers walking along the floor, and they're proper big. splayed out, they're the size of my palm. don't really get freaked out by spiders, but the thought of going to bed and one of them crawling about over me makes it so i can't relax if i spot one until i either kill it or throw it out. and when you kill a big one, the pop you feel makes you nauseous.[/QUOTE] I never kill spiders, they're not so bad here in God's Country[url=https://i.imgur.com/VZb9jzn.jpg].[/url] I always throw them out though, they're spooky and I don't like knowing they're hidden somewhere in my room. The last time I let some stay they found my wallet and laughed at me for having no cash. For realsies, your friends sound like divs by the way. They remind me of this: [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZpPGE8NllUI[/media]

My brain kind of hurts after a conversation just now about planets and gravity. I was eating dinner watching some bbc show live where they was asking Tim Peake questions about space and through conversation of our own I came to the realization my mum doesn't know much about the very fundamentals of space or even mass. She was talking about planets without gravity and I mean planets with 100% no gravity not just weak gravity. Talking about how astronauts would just fly off if landed on another planet if not tethered to their space craft. I tried to explain to her what it means to be classified as a planet and that any rock big enough with enough mass to be classified as a planet is going to have a gravitational pull even if it is weak. I tried to as simply as I could talk about how smaller rocks in space are less round as they don't have anywhere near as much mass so they have less gravity pulling to the center allowing them to stay in odd shapes but a planet has so much more that they become a more rounded shape. If a rock is big enough it is going to have enough mass that it is going to become more round as gravity affects from all angles and that it will eventually have enough gravity to allow satellites such as our moon to orbit. I talked a bit about Pluto and how we used to consider it a planet but now consider it a dwarf planet because it was deemed to not meet the requirements as it is so small. To give her an idea of why a planet will have gravity I explained that even our moon a much smaller rock in comparison to a planet has enough mass and gravity to hold a person. Referencing Neil Armstrong landing on the moon and moon walking around in the lower gravity. [URL="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nSewlT9xy1o"]Considering it was Tim Peake on the TV I remembered of the time Amanda from the talk show This Morning asked Tim Peake if he brought anything back from the moon[/URL] (I told my mum the story of her blunder) and my mum replied something along the lines of "I thought Neil Armstrong walked on Mars not the Moon" and I died a little inside and finished the conversation as I had too little will to continue on.

My basement in the Netherlands is full of silverfish and cellar spiders. Creepy fuckers.

[QUOTE=dead60;52868201]Opinions on Great Yarmouth? Saw a job there, pay is shit but I can help to buy a small house compared to renting out a broom cupboard in London.[/QUOTE] I've only visited once on a day-trip in the summer. But oh my goodness it's an absolutely gorgeous seaside location, with so much to do as well!

Loopoo you deleted most of your posts but I'll tell you this: If you don't get upset by [b]other[/b] people you interact with, then yeah, this circle are twats, and you should fucking ditch them. Don't ever give yourself excuses to wilfully stick around toxic people. Loneliness is far better than being constantly fucking harangued and made to feel like a dog for who you are. [editline]9th November 2017[/editline] Loneliness is always temporary and can always be resolved. Harm created by toxic people can last forever. Time doesn't heal all wounds, either. It forms scars and erodes bone. Gnaws through the marrow and infests the hollow left behind. Then one day you wake up and your legs crack in half. You can't run anymore. [editline]9th November 2017[/editline] I made the mistake of making excuses when it came to my abuser. I let myself believe it was my problem. Pretty much ruined my adolescence. Left long-lasting scars on my social identity and especially my sexuality that I still haven't recovered from. Even now I still hold people at arm's length, even when I desire to be close to them. Haven't really been able to have any relationships, either. Granted my example is a more extreme, deep-seated, long-term series of abuses than others, but non-sexual, platonic friendships where one party is abusive or toxic can still be incredibly damaging. I've had plenty of them, and [b]been[/b] the toxic person before. [editline]9th November 2017[/editline] So, yeah. Never give yourself a reason to stick around arseholes. If it doesn't feel right, then you lose nothing by finding new friends.

u ok hun? Xx

You can't just be double posting in here, I'll get the Rozzer's on you pal.

[QUOTE=Chains!;52876653]Why do you have a knife in the bath? / Why are you trying to have a bath in the kitchen sink?[/QUOTE] Plug was stuck in the holder. Whipped penknife out to push it free, slipped the blade. I'm clinically stupid.

Do any of you get random abuse hurled at you from passing cars when you're just walking down the road? Because I get that a lot.

No. That's literally never happened in my entire life. What are they yelling at you as they drive by?

It's usually youth who have a mate who's just passed their test, I wouldn't worry about it

[QUOTE=loopoo;52876741]No. That's literally never happened in my entire life. What are they yelling at you as they drive by?[/QUOTE] "Bus wankers!"

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;52876722]Do any of you get random abuse hurled at you from passing cars when you're just walking down the road?
