[QUOTE=IAreLegend;52990846]I am so sick of this ginger prick, he is absolutely the kind of guy who invites a girl round his house and then shows her the hole he punched in the wall[/QUOTE] Well it would deserve an explanation, wouldn't it?

I think he's alright as a person but as a musician overrated as fuck, I cant stand sad songs but when I hear all his music it all just molds into one Hes like that fat ginger kid at school that got bullied to shit then thought if he could play guitar he'd finally be able to win that girl he'd been masturbating about. Hes just so out of place though, literally the Boris Johnson of music.

this project has me stressed out so bad. I've been sleeping like shit, getting 6 hours most nights and then literally working on it all day. slowly losing sanity. 5-man group but it's just me and another dude pulling all the weight. the other poor guy stayed up til 3am working on this shit and has to be up at 8am tomorrow. it's also technically our holidays so he already had concrete plans and he's having to ruin his time abroad to finalize this. tomorrow once we hand it in, god damn. I'll finally be able to relax and enjoy a few days of holiday before serious revision starts.

One time I heard this slow and ~sad~ song and it just annoyed me how generic it is, and then it turns out it was by Ed Sheeran. I guess it's just me, but I really really didn't like what I heard. That said, the only song on radio I can listen to is Man's Not Hot because it's a gigantic meme and it's wonderful to hear it on radio.

honestly I never found man's not hot that funny, was a bit quirky at first but now it's everywhere it's a bit grating but that might just be me because ever since its emergence a friend of mine has become "road" talking in a london accent despite living in staffordshire

I think we did the whole GTA:SA Soundtrack as well, not too sure.

Less funny is that the best selling UK rap record this year was a parody song [editline]20th December 2017[/editline] And I'm just bitter because everyone wears tracksuits and trainers now but were wearing shoes and shirts with buttons 2 years ago

Problem is nowadays it takes only a couple of years for that change, and not a decade. I've always been my own person though, I could not get into the rap/grime scene. I dont know but where im from, which is a pretty white middle class township at the bottom south just seems odd blasting skepta out of what is literally your mums corsa at 9pm outside mcdonalds makes you look more like a tool then an actual road man. [editline]20th December 2017[/editline] I love talking about how youth society changes, but god it makes me wish we'd have another proper youth counterculture like the 60's/70's. Not to be that "wish i was born in 50's it was so much better" because it obviously wasn't but the thought of having several groups that you would fit into based on music and clothing as well as interest, rather than having a specific "trend" or "fashion" that you kinda have to respect without being outcasted sucks.

Work Christmas parties are fun. My boss got so sloshed she fell over and had to get her son to carry her away :v:

[QUOTE=Morgen;52994428]To be fair the CEO was like oh everyone must go home after this. Everyone but him went to the pub.[/QUOTE] I'd be willing to bet he went off to get sloshed with other managerial types somewhere. Our bosses do this - respectable drinking and eating occurs for an hour or two, then the "end of the christmas party" is called, the managers leave to get shitfaced where they cant see us being disgraceful and the party moves on.

We had our Xmas do a couple of weeks ago. I got really pissed but didn't make an arse of myself. Someone was sick at the restaurant. After the restaurant kicked us out at closing, the managers went back to their hotel, the MD apparently fell asleep in the taxi. A few of us went elsewhere, the girl in our office went missing for an hour, she was being sick. I left them at 2:30am. There was three of us who hadn't booked the following day off, I took a taxi to work and was luckily still drunk enough to not be properly hungover. I didn't do much work that day, someone bought us a KFC and it was amazing

I wish there was another payday before Xmas because it makes the holidays and sales worthless to me as I dont get paid until first Friday of January and by that time all sales Im interested in will be over. Part time life hooray

I ordered my missus some trainers from Adidas for Xmas, I was expecting them to be delivered today, just got an email to say delivery has been delayed. Fuck know when they're arriving, fuck knows if it's this side of xmas.

friendly piece of advice: don't get chummy chummy with neighbours and give them your personal telephone numbers. fuckers will totally abuse that and constantly message you over the slightest issues. fuck off, in the politest way possible. thanks. some backstory: downstairs neighbours complained of mice. I jumped to it since I have no idea about mice and could only assume it was my fault. split the cost 50/50 with neighbours and originally planned for the exterminator to come out on a day I was free. downstairs neighbour lady freaked out as she could still hear them and changed it for a day I wasn't available. as a result, exterminator didn't even get into my apartment. I still split the cost. exterminator told us that all the houses on our block are connected, so mice can get in and out really easily, through 50 million different entrypoints. he had also been to these exact same houses a few years back. gave us bait boxes and told us to put them around the place. neighbours still complaining about mice, and I just want to tell them to fuck off. it's not my fault, it's nothing to do with me. the bastards can be getting in from other people's places. sending me passive aggressive texts like "we'll get your landlord involved" yeah goodluck, I've already called my landlord and they're on my side: "why is it your responsibility? the wall cavities are shared!". landlord, you the real MVP.

I used to have a really freaky next door neighbour, who controlled every aspect of the building even though she didn't own any of it. She took all of the window keys so that we couldn't open the communal windows in the summer. She believed in feng shui (or something along those lines), so she wedged all of the doors open, took down all the mirrors, and stuck crystals above the doors. Any mud she found in the hallway she would collect and post it through my letter box (she was convinced it was me because I wear New Rocks). Long story short, she got hold of one of the landlord's phone numbers and phoned him every time the tenants upstairs made any sort of noise. The landlord blocked her number so she got a new, unblocked number. Those tenants upstairs were the best neighbours I ever had, and I can't help feeling that she forced them to leave. Luckily she moved shortly after seeing the copious amounts of skull ornaments in [I]my[/I] hallway and freaking out about it.

People still wear new rocks? [editline]21st December 2017[/editline] We have a picture of Louis Theroux in our hallway [editline]21st December 2017[/editline] I've never really had bad neighbours, I used to live across the road from a crew of weed dealers. They were really nice if occasionally noisey. They used to check up on the old lady next door to me and do her shopping

my upstairs neighbours are lovable idiots who have no idea how to look after a flat but are a great laugh and fun to chill and smoke with. our downstairs are a family who don't appreciate me having parties on sunday nights. beside the downstairs is a lovely old couple who drive the biggest fucking volvo ever, but i forgive it because she sweeps the street more than i make it outside.

Had the same neighbours all my life till about 6 months ago. When the old couple that lived there got too ill so they were moved into care. Since then a builder bought the house and has been fixing it. Though for some unknown reason, he's put the Tumble Dryer in the living room, so everytime he uses it I can't hear shit in the living room. Just a constant rumbling and thudding.

Had the same neighbours for 2 years, all of them to the right of my house are great but I have no idea who are in the houses to my left. All I know is the dude plays bass guitar every night at 2300hrs without fail

I live in a student hall in a studio where I have everything to myself, and I don't know any of my neighbours. I don't leave my room often, only for work, local Asda shopping and sometimes uni and I just never meet them. Our building has these ~social events~ going on but fuck that I'm not into these kind of things much. I once tried Tinder and met a girl that lives one floor above me and we're friends now :v:

God I wish I knew what to get people for christmas. I can't think of anything but perfume for aunts and booze for uncles. For my cousins I can't think of anything, one is a stoner the other is a bloke who wants to go into politics. I have no idea what to get them, I know they have a bong and a copy of every political book under the sun.

caught the flu off a guy who is perpetually sick. just had a coughing fit and a 3cm glob of phlegm flew out my mouth and landed on the table. it was metal as fuck. i also woke up in the middle of the night cause i was choking and ended up having to cough a massive glob of phlegm up, that was pretty scary. couldn't breath and snapped outta my dream and was confused as hell.

stop rating me hearts I wasn't looking for pity, I genuinely thought coughing a glob a solid 2m was impressive
