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

literally the only way to regain your honour and dignity is to commit seppuku and use your girlfriend as your second, to cleanly separate your head from your shoulders once you've disemboweled yourself. [editline]1st January 2018[/editline] reminds me of this time i was having a debate with my ex about how dublin was a bigger student city than london and she was all "are you retarded? london is like 200000x the size of dublin, there's more students in london than in dublin" and for some reason I wouldn't drop it cause I was convinced since everywhere you look in dublin, it's students. but in london, it's all business people and older folks. then i realised i was really dumb and told her she was right and she asked me to never say stupid things like that again and it was truth.

Been quite fortunate with the new fare increase, only £3.90 extra a month. Still, they shouldn't have gone up at all. I bet most people travelling into London feel like they're being extorted.

[QUOTE=loopoo;53022969]whichever person it was that invented the credit score or came up with credit agencies needs to fuck off. tried opening a [B][I]student account[/I][/B], a fucking student account, and I've been rejected. but nah, it's fine, they'll throw credit cards at me and shit no problem. can't check my letterbox without some wanker banker offering me a credit card. but a student account that I want to open because I'm a student and entitled to it? they shun me like I've got leprosy or something. even the woman at the bank said it was dumb that I've got a credit card and current account with them, both in good standing, and a history of paying things off on time and not having any late payments. she put in an appeal for me and they instantly got back to her with a final rejection. all my mates have a student account with that delicious 0% overdraft and I'm fucked cause I didn't apply for one when my credit score was equally shit. such a garbage system. what makes it worse is my mates are totally abusing the overdraft by maxing it out and keeping it maxed throughout the entire course. they'll pay it off slowly once they graduate. i'm fuming rn[/QUOTE] what's your address you're applying with?

as there is no credit history or electoral register for mr loopoo at university ave, but there will be at 123 fake st they're much more likely to offer it to you [editline]2nd January 2018[/editline] [QUOTE=loopoo;53022991]my term address is my home address, I haven't lived at home for the past 5 years.[/QUOTE] then apologies, i can't think what it could be - that's total bullshit. try a rival bank?

Loopoo it's a simple solution you just need to have been born earlier you lazy millenial /s

credit scores just seems like one of those things I'll never understand/achieve, much like a career or a decent haircut

taking some time this morning to feel blessed that i found some chill brits that have a lot of common interests when it comes to games. it's pretty chill hopping on and playing videogames with people that aren't completely and utterly socially retarded. it's all about the bants and chill vibes, amen

I'm well bored at work today, haven't really got anything to do. Asked others in my office if there's anything they want doing, but nothing for me. There's only so much news I can read. And the girl who was working in our office appears to have left, but she never mentioned it to me before Xmas and no one else has mentioned it so I don't want to ask [editline]3rd January 2018[/editline] And I'm certain my Bluetooth receiver was nicked out of my car, I left the house this morning and clocked the cabin light was on in my gfs car. I let her know, and she went out to turn it off and her glove box was open and CDs everywhere. The hadn't taken anything, she only had CDs in there, I might knock on neighbours doors later to let them know

my local b&m has some great music (might be quiet) [video]https://youtu.be/dU0-j6HWaAg[/video]

did you go fast?

I went into B&M once and it was playing Johnny Cash's 'Hurt'. Most depressing shop I've ever had.

Currently suffering with the worst bout of flu I have ever had. Seeing people on Facebook saying they have the exact same thing and how long it's lasted (I'm like 3 days in but they've had it since Christmas). I'm starting to hope it isn't Australian flu.

I had Flu over probably a 4 day period, was completely bed ridden for one of those days. Still recovering now!

I didn't drink over Xmas cos I was on the beechams, my gf has had a worse cold from around Saturday, she's still a snotty

Aw man I was told that I failed probation at work today. Living in London is not the place to be unemployed, god damn I'm hoping that I pick something up quickly

turns out I had the australian flu without even realising it lmao, a week and a half of a really chesty cough and feeling like shit called up my GP and asked whether it was worth me coming in if I had flu, and the woman said "I'll put this simply: you're a man" and we had a good chuckle and I said "fair play" but now I'm salty cause aye I'm a man but I HAD THE AUSSIE FLU so that makes me twice the man for soldiering it out at home if I'd have known about this earlier I'd have gone in to get a flu shot tbh, and I'm still kinda worried when uni starts back up loads of people are gonna be contagious and sneezing / coughing all over the place and I'll catch it again

just got the iphone x, is there anything cool i can do with it or is it literally just a piece of glass i can break easier than my old one

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;53028495]just got the iphone x, is there anything cool i can do with it or is it literally just a piece of glass i can break easier than my old one[/QUOTE] yeah you can use it to call up a finance advisor so they can explain how not to make bad decisions like buying an iphone x

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;53028495]just got the iphone x, is there anything cool i can do with it or is it literally just a piece of glass i can break easier than my old one[/QUOTE] Maybe you should have used your iphone 9 to look up before what you can do with an iphone x.

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;53028495]just got the iphone x, is there anything cool i can do with it or is it literally just a piece of glass i can break easier than my old one[/QUOTE] We literally tell people to just get the iPhone 8 at our place tbh (mainly bc it works out about the same monthly to get an 8 + Apple Watch)

[QUOTE=Animosus;53028282]Aw man I was told that I failed probation at work today. Living in London is not the place to be unemployed, god damn I'm hoping that I pick something up quickly[/QUOTE] Hey man, sorry to hear you failed that probation but know that it wasn't all for nothing. Remain confident and know for a fact that there are still places who are looking to hire someone just like you here in London.
