Telling a gobby cow to fuck off was the highlight of my day today.

I miss this show so much. It's ability to offend my parents was just awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xT_ilDlY2Q

I will fight anyone who says Dick and Dom in Da Bungalow was anything other than an utter fucking masterpiece

It was the defining children's show of our generation.

I live in stoke-on-trent and worked at the potteries shopping center, when I first saw this recently it had me in tears. their reaction is fuckin hilarious. "ayup duck! you're in stoke-on-trent" I hope no one here ever has to hear those words

Anyone seen this week's Question Time? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j9ZzLsz16Fg

In London. I went to a restaurant, looked at the prices, and I'm a skeleton now because the numbers made my skin melt off. Thanks, London.

I'm at the zoo, my gf's mum bought us tickets for Xmas. Nice, except the zoo was 160 miles away and took 3 hours to drive to

Really surprised at how nice of a day it is today. It's still a little chilly but at least it feels a bit more like spring.

Don't say that, you'll summon the snow again

Such a cracking day, just bee out on my motorbike. Bike is stuck in second gear and is in for repair tomorrow, but couldnt waste the opportunity to ride around looking like I dont know how to change gear.

And now there's chances of snow over Easter. What have you done lad

Clearly not that good of a zoo if you're telling us all on Facepunch.

I'd just arrived, my head was scrambled from the drive, I just couldn't understand how Bedfordshire is halfway between London and West Yorkshire. And I missed the F1. The zoo is good, but I've been to so many zoos in the past year I think I'm suffering zoo fatigue

Kill me. We need to arm the entire nation with flamethrowers and just point them at the sky when the attack of snow begins. Show that weather who's boss it's about to be fucking April.

I had an Ice Cream van drive by earlier, jingling along when it's way too fucking early. It's just not right god dammit

There's one that drives past my house 4 times a fucking day. Like it's not bad enough hearing it once.

Back at it with the personal statement, my biggest obstacle is having no real evidence of my positive self-development since college. 5 years of nothing but a vicious depressive cycle in unemployment after a previous 5 years of a vicious depressive cycle but in school/college. Yeah, I've started learning French recently but that's only 9 days in. As much as I say I've changed and learned from my mistakes and really like psychology there isn't much I've done that I can point to.

My mum told me that they play the music when they're out of ice cream. I honestly believed it up until last year.

I'll get the NSPCC on the line

I remember the Gypsy Van that used to come around and pick up scrap was the Naughty Children van, and whenever I heard the bell I used to hurry and tidy up my room, but I'd leave something on the floor in my brothers so that if they took one of us, it'd be him. I was a dick at 6.

Went up to The Spaceguard centre yesterday, it's pretty amazing. Would recommend the tour to anyone with even a remote interest in space. The views are also amazing. The place is funded entirely by donations and volunteer work. They are building a new building for a telescope from Cambridge University so that they can search the sky for new asteroids. https://files.facepunch.com/forum/upload/659/62dba522-7535-4802-b5c7-156b72820db4/20180325_131948.jpg

One Halloween when we were younger, my aunt came dressed as a witch and my older sister just picked me up and thrust me at her screaming "Take him! Not me!"

For those who love ITV's the Chase. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Gs842ZJx7o Can't believe I haven't found this youtube channel earlier.

What is the worst UK town you have ever visited and why? I feel like this could lead to some funny stories.

Kingsbridge. Literally an overpriced hovel where old people go to die. Highlight of passing through was looking at the grimy mud filled harbour.

Falkirk as I was going to college there for 2 years before going to uni. Every Monday, I'd see "pavement patties" on almost every pavement, and drink bottles smashed all over the place. It'd slowly disappear come Friday and come back on the Monday. There was nothing to do there (even those who lived in Falkirk went to Stirling to do things because of that) so I ended up just heading back to the train station to go home if there was bigger than an hour free period. I also remember walking past a Tescos, and an old woman out front was rummaging around the ashtray at the top of the bin for near-finished ciggy buts. She picked up a handful, sat on a nearby bench and started to try and smoke them. Meanwhile a teenage girl walks past in nothing much apart from leggings and lifts her waistband away to peer at her crotch (?) before snapping them back and texting on her phone. It was really weird walking past. Another time I was waiting in the station, and this car parks up right outside the door. The fattest man I've ever seen walks out of the car (barely) and stumbles into the station completely out of breath (a 3m walk made him lose his breath). He then tried arguing with the ticket staff about something (I left and went on my train). There was also a time I walked through town on a lunch break and saw an absolutely fat couple sitting outside a Dominos phoning in a take out (from the same shop!). Turns out, they were far too wide to actually walk through the doorway so ended up phoning it in instead (I heard them joking about it as I walked past). ...Just another day in Falkirk.

I live in Leicester and I'd say here. Been started on twice by chav gangs, jumped once.
