I got you fam

I'm doing a £100 argos e-gift card raffle on the FPUK discord, rate the post in the events channel if you want in, ends at 3PM [url]https://discord.gg/m95n2c7[/url]

that's hella santa claus-esque of you

Won a raffle at work, half the gift bag was womens perfume and scented bath crap. Gave up a £15 quid bottle of Red Leg for this (you got extra tickets if you contributed). On the flip side, found £15 quid lying on the street this morning, so it's like it never happened. Plus, I smell fabulous.

neighbour turned into a real ass over this mouse problem (which, by the way, have I mentioned isn't even my fault?). wall cavities are shared between like 8 houses, and other than getting every single person to agree to chip in on an exterminator and have him seal up all the holes, we're not gonna fix the problem with bait. legit worried one of these fuckers will die under my floorboard and stink the place out. she has "information" that an appointment with a handyman (to put more bait under the floorboards) was supposed to happen today. when I told her no, it is happening tomorrow, on the 23rd, as it has always been planned, she starts grilling me and pretty much using thinly veiled accusations that I'm lying. I told her it's always been happening tomorrow, and if she doesn't believe me, that's fine, then I dropped her with a bombshell saying I don't appreciate being interrogated, and after tomorrow, I'm not considering myself a part in any of this even if the problem persists. feels good man. spent so long being so polite she totally took me for a pushover. told it to her straight and she's now apologising profusely, but whatever. I'm gonna distance myself cause I can't be dealing with this shit. lady, I've been doing you a favour. you could have been hassling the neighbour to your left as they live above you as well, and I've got every right to tell you to piss off seeing as the mice aren't even here as a result of me. it pisses me off because she was using my naivete and throwing heavy-handed shit around like "we are getting our landlord involved and will be contacting your landlord" and initially this scared the shit out of me. but then I called my landlady up and she was a total G, told me she's on my side and if they keep harassing me, she's happy to step in and shut them down. feels great calling her out on her bullshit and seeing her wilt.

I love throwing on a Yankee Candle and some motherfucking bubbles in my bath. Adding a bath bomb if i'm feeling cheeky.

I was nearly in a car accident today. I was driving home in a straight 60mph zone, when the car behind me decided to overtake. I was doing about 55/57 so just under 60, but this car didn't quite seem to get the speed to over take me. So they drove along side my car making hand gestures and swerving almost into the side of my car. It was really quite scary but luckily late at night so the roads weren't busy. They did manage to overtake in the end, but I just don't see why they would act so dangerously. :s:

shoulda nabbed his license plate and reported it.

i had someone try run me off the m8 and forced me onto the gravel verge because they can't check a fucking mirror or blind spot, and then they fired me a middle finger for the next mile.

Wankers like these think they can get away with it, and forget to see you've got a dashcam pointing their way. Personally, I would have reported the bastard to the police for dangerous driving. He'd have a lovely fine letter land on his doorstep come christmas. The perfect present!

[QUOTE=loopoo;52999632]shoulda nabbed his license plate and reported it.[/QUOTE] Honestly at the time I didn't think to. A few months back I had someone drive at me head on, causing me to swerve and mount the kerb to get out their way, giving me whiplash. I did get the plate that time, but the police basically said there was nothing they would do, and that I should "drive more carefully"? [QUOTE]Dash cams are life savers.

If anyone has any brand recommendations it would be really helpful. It'll be a Christmas treat lol

I made the mistake of going to a shopping mall today, and on a related topic; what the fuck is it with Pandora stores. WHY are they popular? They're literally the crappiest jewellery marked up 300% yet they have 200m long queues at 9am opening time.

Asda was all out of pineapple juice so I guess I have to continue poisoning myself with pepsi

[editline]23rd December 2017[/editline] pineapple juice is the worst juice imaginable, and I have a vivid imagination

I was watching a bit of that horrible film Jack Frost, the one where the kid's dead dad comes back as a creepy snowman. And I was watching it and I was thinking that snowman looks like someone. Then it hit me, Papa fuckin John. Jack Frost the snowman looks like Papa John somehow. I think it's the mouth

Lol just asked my mumsie if we could watch The Nightmare Before Christmas tomorrow, as she has never seen it. She just turned to me and said "oh no.... I'm not into horror films in the slightest!" Just comes to show that she has [I]that[/I] little knowledge in films! :v:
