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

I am really glad my family don't celebrate birthdays so we don't need to deal with that kind of crap

You are missing out on free cash and free shit you don't know though, birthdays are cool. Pointless, but cool.

[QUOTE=The Jack;52917168]Get yourself a machine for less than a £10 and do everything yourself. 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] Sure thing bowlcut. How's the rat-tail?

I would never be able to cut my hair to any style I like at all, I wonder what kind of haircut he has.

Imagine giving a shit about someone not giving your fucking two year old a card. He can't even remember what his own fucking face looks like yet.

[QUOTE=Thechuz1337;52918888]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.[/QUOTE] He won't remember, tell her to do one Alternatively you could covertly add a tiny bit of redbull to his drink so he plays merry havoc to the detriment of his mum

What Christmas present have you got for your dad? I haven't got a fucking clue what to get my dad, it seems he has everything and doesn't need anything. I don't wanna get him another bottle of port for the 2nd year.

i might get him port but we'll both smash it before the bell tolls 12

Last year I got me mam Ziggy Stardust and Blackstar on vinyl because I'm a good kid and then I got my stepdad a liter of Jack and Goodfellas. [editline]25th November 2017[/editline] The family started acting concerned about how much I was spending, which is how you know it was a good Christmas. [editline]25th November 2017[/editline] Got fuck-all in return.

I'm broke as fuck this year, can't really afford to get my whole family gifts. i'm considering asking for nothing in return, is that a thing normal people do? I just hate the idea of being sat there unwrapping shit knowing there isn't a single present under the tree from me

My sister says my mum wants perfume from between us, and she's going to let me know what to get my dad.

I'll probably just get my dad a bottle of whisky like I do every year.

You know your family better than I do but if you try and be a bit creative you don't have to spend much money.

[QUOTE=squids_eye;52922692]I'll probably just get my dad a bottle of whisky like I do every year.[/QUOTE] i get my dad a bottle of Belvedere and my mum a case of wine. They cook the Christmas dinner and my mum might buy me a pair of calvin klein's in return :v

Ended up getting my dad two different bottles of sherry as we done the big drink shop for Christmas. Kinda feel a bit sick spending £200 on booze as I'm a cheapskate, but it should be enough to last from crimbo up until the new year with all my friends n family.

Bought my first car today lads

Lmao we spend all afternoon looking for place for takeout only to come home with beer. I wish there was more in this city than closed down places and kebab shops.

Seriously, our main road through the town has 29 different fast food takeout shops and general food shops like Iceland. And they all suck. -Edit- tell a lie, happy fryer is okay

And the strangest thing is despite all the competition none of them ever seem to close down and they are all open. No idea how they all manage to stay in business it genuinely boggles my mind. This town does get shit loads of traffic going through it each day but still.

Same. We eventually went to the closest Chinese place. That was actually rather nice. Nice boxes of rice and stuff. We thought that was just an american thing.

I'm surprised how well I could manage the chop sticks with rice and everything. At least until I got to the rice left overs.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;52925461]No wonder you're so fucked up on Skyrim mods. No good chow mein. [/QUOTE] It's all about that chow mein. Dammit, got me thinking about it now.

Whenever I hear of Chow Mein, it just makes me think of that Just Eat advert with the two guys saying Chow Mein over and over again.
