[QUOTE=Hezzy;52914017]gargle vinegar[/QUOTE] Thought that gets rid of hiccups not coughs.

[QUOTE=Doozle;52914053]I've seen a few people mention they've had flu jab, I thought they only gave em to the elderly and babies.[/QUOTE] They wanted to stab me cos I'm an at risk patient due to my asthma even though the last asthma attack I had was in 2008. Gonna take tomorrow off which should ease my vocal chords.

Is Miller & Carter middle class Weatherspoons?

What is going on with preston traffic at the moment, took me an hour and a half to get through... Need to work elsewhere at this rate.

[QUOTE=Clive;52914080]Just reading that makes me wanna throw up, does it actually work?[/QUOTE] Nope.

[QUOTE=UzumakaiPatch;52916376]Nope.[/QUOTE] Didn't think so, I just didn't think Hezzy would lie. What a mean man.

[QUOTE=Clive;52916508]Didn't think so, I just didn't think Hezzy would lie. What a mean man.[/QUOTE] He's sorta right. You're not meant to gargle pure vinegar, you're meant to dilute it with water and gargle [I]that.[/I] Same works if you gargle salt water. But fuck doing both of those, I just drink hot water with honey and lemon in it. Helps make your throat feel less like a chainsaw.

Helps make your throat feel less like a chainsaw.[/QUOTE] I can actually make a chainsaw noise with my nose if I breath air in hard and fast but it sometimes gives me nosebleeds, I don't have many talents I just want you to know that. Also, Honey and Lemon is actually awesome together it's weird to drink it when you aren't ill so I don't, but I'd love too.

That sounds really bad and I probably wouldn't do that or class it as a talent. And yeah, it's weird how that works. Honey and lemon when you're sick is the greatest shit ever, but it has zero appeal whatsoever when you're not ill.

It does have appeal though, it tastes amazing but if I sit and drink it people would look at me proper weirdly.

anyone know the format an english assessment takes? i need to do one so i can get on a access to HE next year but i cant find any sample test

It's better than spoons, but it's still awful.

False. Nothing is better than spoons.

Aye spoons aint got ideas above their station

i'd rather have a maccies and any 440ml tinnie in the park over a spoons

Talking about ideas above your station, what's with these daft barbers that are everywhere now. Those gents barbers that charge 30 quid for a haircut, the staff look like they're starting a barbershop quartet, Frank Sinatra on the radio. I went to one once when my regular barber was closed and it's a bit of a joke. It cost a fortune and wasn't better than my normal guy. Never again. I'd rather get my short back and sides done at the local boys barber for fiver. But they're everywhere now, it's a bubble I tell ya. People are gonna realise that a haircut should cost no more than £10 [editline]23rd November 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=geogzm;52916798]i'd rather have a maccies and any 440ml tinnie in the park over a spoons[/QUOTE] This is true. I eat far too much McDonalds but for a few quid you can get a hot meal with a hot drink. Fuck meal deals

The city I live in has plenty of barbers with that old-school-30s vibe, they've always got really good interior design as well - yet none of them can give me a cut like my £9-every-cut barber back in my hometown. I think it's image preceeding quality.

Use scissors if you've got patience and good ideas. Honestly it puzzles me that men bother with going to a barbers, baring the ones of course that have the hair standards of women.

[QUOTE=The Jack;52917168]Honestly it puzzles me that men bother with going to a barbers, baring the ones of course that have the hair standards of women.[/QUOTE] Cause if I tried giving myself a short back and sides, with a scissored trim up top I'd look like the "Fuck my shit up" guy.

Spoons is good if youre at uni cos all the prices "should" be the same no matter where you go and you "should" expect the same standard across all spoons. Plus they offer hot chocolate at 11pm at night. Yeah my mates used to laugh at me when I come back with a cuppa chocolate at 11pm, but I don't get a hangover the day after so jokes on them.

fucking man up and gargle the fucking vinegar

[QUOTE=Hezzy;52917474]fucking man up and gargle the fucking vinegar[/QUOTE] Is this your fetish? Do you want him to record it?

[QUOTE=PyroCF;52917664]Is this your fetish? Do you want him to record it?[/QUOTE] ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[QUOTE=Hezzy;52917474]fucking man up and gargle the fucking vinegar[/QUOTE] You stream yourself gargling vinegar in some kind of Hezzy stream return and then I will follow your instructions when I am ill.

Uh oh. I've been occupied with a job application the past week and forgot to get my 2 year old nephew a card for his birthday. Feel like shit. What's a good damage control quote/joke to give a card a day late? His mother was making not so subtle hints about the lack of a card and I feel like a wanker.

He's only two, he's hardly going to hold it against you

[QUOTE=Doozle;52918928]He's only two, he's hardly going to hold it against you[/QUOTE] Nah it's the mother i'm worried about she makes a huge deal out of stuff like this. I'm just going to launch a card through her door.
