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

I got a pair of glasses with flat lenses from Boots because Specsavers can only sell them for vision correction. I just wanted something between my eyes and the mind reading aliens trying to break into my brain with their hypno-rays.

In this situation (being called a "Disrespectful teenager"), I'd have asked them what they were doing to help him; point out that you're helping him and they're not and to tell them to mind their own business. Absolutely hate people who always throw their opinions about the place, but can't take any when they're given back. Oh an equally angry note - Still applying to grad jobs (mainly Soft Dev) and I'm amazed at how arrogant companies can be. I was offered a phone interview with one company after doing their coding test for example, and the email I was sent had no phone interview times in it - just a message to "phone this number, ask for this department" so I did. This email was sent 2 days after I submitted the coding test as well. I phoned them 2 times a day for 3 days in a row and I either got (a): Answering machine which cut off before you could leave a message. Someone picking up the phone and immediately putting it down again. No reply from emails. "Oh they're offline/in a meeting at the moment. Do you want to be put through to their voicemail" (which also did nothing). Seriously pissed off that I wasted time. Makes it worse that I've done a lot of coding tests and a few phone interviews but nothing has come of it and now I'm racing against the clock to try and secure a place before 2018's students leave (I graduated last year). Oh and I also applied to a company down in London (I'm from Edinburgh, but most of the grad places are down there and my girlfriend lives/works there so it kind of works out) last August. They sent me an email congratulating me for passing the "first stage" and I was offered a programming test... only the email didn't have the link. I chased them up and 2 weeks later I get an email apologising and containing the link which was late, but not the end of the world. I did the test in January (received the email middle of Dec just before xmas) and haven't heard back from them since.... I sent them emails asking about the status, but bugger all back. It's really pissing me off because my friends have practically walked into programming jobs, and I'm just being fucked about on the side. It's infuriating.

i tried ordering some stuff from ocuk but the payment was stopped by my banks antifraud but there website shows my orders (tried card and paypal) with a unpaid status, can they try to take payment again without me authorizing it? kinda worried because if they took both payments i would either have no money left or be overdrawn. i had tried the same on scan and there system didnt process the orders it seems weird that ocuk kept the order when payment failed.

That sounds ridiculous. How old is she? Refuse to pay anything else for her until she pays her debts. Don't let people leech off of you, no matter who they are. You deserve better than that. IIRC when banks stop payments they're simply put on "hold" instead of outright cancelled. Once you confirm with your bank that the purchase is legit it should go through. Try to contact OCUK customer support and get it sorted?

I always get told to make the purchase again, so I'd imagine they're just declined? I've had the same ordering from Scan since, well, it's a large purchase typically.

Got to try this free burger while in mcdonalds yesterday, shit was great, got 2 quid after too.

it's the mind control burger, they're stepping up their plans.

i cant contact support until tomorow morning i hope thats the case or that if they do try to take it it gets blocked by fraud prevention again, it would be a big fucking pain having to do two chargebacks

Delicious mind control.

Last year I got to taste test their upcoming tastes of the world burgers, got 2 free burgers and was paid £7. One of them was the best fast food burger I've ever had but when they brought it out properly they'd changed half the ingredients and it tasted like shit.

Not sure what mine was but it was beef bacon salad with some bbq sauce.

I can't remember exactly since it's been a while but I think one of mine was beef burger, spicy jerk sauce, roasted peppers, some fancy cheese in a chilli bun + lettuce and whatever else.

How can we also get free burgers? Asking for a friend.

As someone who used to work at McDonald's, I stay as far away from their food as possible; shit gives me flashbacks.

I also need to ask for a friend, a very curious friend

those 1.99 spicy snack wraps are damn good though

You've been had mate.

they could cost a pint of blood id still get 5 at a time

Maccy d blood drive. Donate blood and get a free wrap and cola.

Blood infusions for people with low blood sugar.

i have a super rare blood type, does that mean I get big tasties when ever I like?

what type? depending on which one it is you get it with or without bacon

Lads, am I a bit paranoid if I'm researching what I can do to try and survive a nuclear strike?

just hide under your desk mate, radiation's sight is based on movement

I live in southampton which is obviously next to Portsmouth aka The Royal Naval HQ, so if shit hits the fan im out straight away. Nothing'l happen anyway, its just the usual dickwaving that happens every so often, this whole poisoning things happened before (Alexander Litvinenko) and it doesn't top the year off without some usual middle eastern shit fest going on (I think everyones forgetting the coalition bombing syria a few years back, not even that maybe) Like yeah its all shit to listen to 24/7 but it'll soon pass, and if it were to kick off it won't be like it is on the films, if I lived in poland/eastern europe I'd be worried then.

So apparently the weather has decided to make up for a lack of spring by just burning summer onto my face

BBQ on the hoe time
