[QUOTE=Instant Mix;53131424]really shit to hear man, don't think I would've got through uni without being involved in a bunch of them. So glad Edinburgh has a really active society scene[/QUOTE] I still wish I went as far as Scotland :( Napier was my second choice, if only i had the money though

Weathers a bit toss rn innit

[QUOTE=IAreLegend;53131345]Uni societies are always whack imo, when I looked at mine it was mostly 5 different communism societies and a vegan society, and the rest were sports[/QUOTE] The uni I went to was pretty much the total opposite of the norm, the LARP society was by far the biggest and the football and rugby teams had to scrounge together everything they needed with the pitiful amount of funding they got.

someone please tell me how they manage tonsil stones. i'm going crazy trying to deal with this shit and i'm getting tired of spending one night a week gagging my guts out in the toilet as I try and fail to get rid of them. someone needs to invent a fucking sink attachment that's just a plastic tube that you can hook around the tap, and it has a round, smoothed end that you can push into your throat and rinse with. fuck.

Fucking hell, o2 just decided to take £128 out of my account (leaving me with a £ -94 overdraft) I'm with EE I haven't had an o2 phone in about three years what the fuck

I assume it was from the Debenhams hack last year, got the thing cancelled within a few mins of noticing it

Probably have a new card anyway to.

im sure there was something i bought that appeared in my statement as "o2" but it turned out not to actually be them... maybe it was some webstore or something?

[QUOTE=metallics;53133412]what are tonsil stones and wouldnt your proposal drown you?[/QUOTE] don't google it. it's basically bits of food that gets trapped in your tonsil pits (tonsils have loads of cavities and ravines in them). most people don't have this problem, because their tonsil pits aren't big enough. but the unlucky few like me will basically get food debris that accumulates in the pits, calcifies, and makes your breath smell rancid if you don't clear them out. it's a huge pain in the ass. and nah, it doesn't drown you. the thing would be pressed against your tonsils and just flush water through all the pits to clear them out. I had a syringe with a bulbous end that did the trick, but I had to refill it so much and it was frustrating to use.

[QUOTE=loopoo;53131407]gotta say I disagree. the old uni I flunked out of had a banging society list and all of them were insanely active. kicking myself for not taking advantage of em when I had the chance. transferred to a shitty uni since they were the only ones who would even touch me after flunking, and it's deader than dead should be.[/QUOTE] yeah you're probably right about that, I'm sure there are plenty of good societies out there

Trying the sukiyaki flavour soba noodles. They're ok, I guess. Not sponsored, by the way.

I tried to get them out with an ear bud but that's too rough and just makes them swell up more and gives you a sore throat.

Just contact your bank asap and get it refunded.

Fucking fish friday lads

So my flatmate just got very annoyed with the rest of us for not taking his idea of the NHS providing everyone with a smart toilet which analyses your shit to check for medical conditions and sends it to your gp. :v: #NationaliseTheBogs

Why is my neighbour such an entitled shitbag

vent, so we can all tell you that he is indeed a shitbag and have a good old bitch about the fucker

She expects [B]complete[/B] silence whilst living in a block of badly soundproofed flats. Any noise from any of the 6 flats in the building has to be blamed on us, her upstairs neighbours. She has made various complaints about us because she didn't like hearing our footsteps and when we open doors sometimes. These complaints have basically now been thrown out by the council, so instead she's taken to screaming, swearing, and banging the ceiling. When the complaints first came in I did think "oh shit is my music too loud, am I shouting when I speak?". But to put it in perspective about how ridiculous this is, the other night [B]I opened my sock drawer to get some socks because ya know, cold feet, to have her scream "FUCKING SHUT UP" and hit the ceiling[/B]. I just want to repeat that this is the reaction to me opening a drawer in my bedroom. She also plays this really loud country song which basically goes "wheel diddle doo" over and over and I have no idea what the song is but it's fucking annoying.

have you tried making your own complaints? she sounds like a monumental cunt, and no tenant should have to put up with that sort of stuff. if you can record it on your phone when she has these outbursts, it'll go a long way in proving to your landlord / estate agent how much of a shitbag person she is, and they may evict her.

My landlord is on our side completely, but so is hers. He doesn't want to lose her as a tenant because she pays her rent on time etc etc. But so do we. Our landlord spent a ridiculous amount of money installing new carpets with thick underlay, getting the floorboards nailed down so that they don't creak. This was all a huge inconvenience to me. I basically had to move out for 2 weeks with [B]all my belongings and furniture[/B] stored at friends houses and in my car, for someone who literally doesn't give a shit and still thinks we're too loud. I'm pre-empting the fact that in a few days I'll get an email from the management saying I've had another complaint, and it's from here that I'm going to defend myself, rather than just apologise and try to comply with what they want me to do. It basically feels like harassment.

Yeah I'm like 15km away and felt that, got the fright of my life as I thought an explosion had gone off or something, shook the whole house. Jumped on FB and loads of people in the area are confused asking if anyone just felt their whole house shake.

That's odd, I was under the impression we simply didn't get any earthquakes. (or really small ones <1)

I called my landlady and she told me she'll deal with them if I want. after that, every complaint they made, I just ignored. it wasn't my problem, and they couldn't do shit. if I had your downstairs neighbour, I'd ignore her and quit trying to be polite by going out of my way to avoid noise.
