Turned 18 last year so I voted for the first time last night. I was the only one there, the people who look up your name and stuff clapped for me after I voted and gave me sweets. 10/10 would vote again. Now lets hope Britain doesn't set on fire both figuratively and literally.
Know something that really annoys me? Facebook is filled with politicunts spamming shite about who you should vote for, yet half of them don't even bother their backside to actually go out and vote. I'm not a particularly spiteful person but fuck me I absolutely hate hypocrites, and it really boils my blood when people think that sharing a few articles from the BBC or VICE is equivalent to actually getting out and voting. Even knew folk that voted to leave in the referendum "as a laugh" because "they didn't think it was actually going to happen", that is honestly the epitome of stupidity.

I have the feeling that the whole thing was a bit of a training session for some people, we had a teller try let herself in and have a cup of tea because she had the keys for the kitchen of the polling station lol. [editline]5th May 2017[/editline] Also someone sent us an email today complaining about the fact that they didn't know there was a poll yesterday OK mate I'll hop in my time machine shall I.
Alright so I'm hoping to see Gorillaz live. Should I go Manchester or Birmingham?

The truck is a Tory government and the car is your local government, ya wanna be in as strong a car as possible when the truck fucks ya so go and vote Labour. Yeah, shite analogy but it got her to go and vote so I'm gonna call it a win. Lancashire elected the Tories. The ONLY UKIP Councillor left is on the Lancashire County Council. woo!
Love seeing private GP adverts pop up on in places. "Only £75 for a gp visit!!"

get out of Plymouth while you still can, people aren't meant to live there

So I had Domino's yesterday. And because I'm a lazy git I decided to fnally try a local place's pizza tonight. There was a 'buy one get one free' offer, so I got two 15 inch beefy pizzas. I live alone. I live alone, and in regret.
Honest question: are corner shops the only place you can find those KA drinks? Like the black grape and fruit punch ones.
[QUOTE=owltowel;52211335]Honest question: are corner shops the only place you can find those KA drinks? Like the black grape and fruit punch ones.[/QUOTE] Check the foreign sections of Supermarkets. My local Asda usually has the KA stuff with all the polish food.
Yes. Karibbean Kola is my favourite one. [editline]10th May 2017[/editline] And Supermalt, but that tastes like arseholes [editline]10th May 2017[/editline] Talking of corner shop drinks, my old local used to see this chocolate milk drink but I can't remember what it's called, it was Scandinavian I think. It's peng, anyone know what I'm on about? [editline]10th May 2017[/editline] It's Cocio, if you see it in a shop buy it.
[QUOTE=Chains!;52211360]Check the foreign sections of Supermarkets. My local Asda usually has the KA stuff with all the polish food.[/QUOTE] None of the supermarkets around me stock it it seems. At least it's not hard to find elsewhere. Gotta love me some Fruit Punch flavour.
You could buy it in bulk from amazon, I don't think it's much cheaper than the shop though My mate bought loads of Rubicon, I thought he was going to become diabetic [editline]10th May 2017[/editline] Although that does take money away from bossman and i dont know how you feel about that. But lets be honest every can of pop in the shop says multipack do not sell
bought 3 cases of 24 for £8 when i left work for uni, they lasted me a month ;) Karibbean Kola all the way [editline]10th May 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Doozle;52211506]You could buy it in bulk from amazon, I don't think it's much cheaper than the shop though My mate bought loads of Rubicon, I thought he was going to become diabetic [editline]10th May 2017[/editline] Although that does take money away from bossman and i dont know how you feel about that.

If any of you have a bookers card its usually £4.99 for a case of about 24
if you buy those sandwiches from corner shops then I can't trust u
Why are little shops so fucking expensive? I know they need to make money and stuff, but at one near me, it's actually [I]cheaper[/I] to buy a one-litre carton of juice than to buy a 500ml bottle of Coke or something. That's bloody ludicrous.

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;52212479]yes it does - it makes perfect sense why would you buy a 2L when you only want 500ml and will chuck it away after?[/QUOTE] The only thing stopping me from buying a 2L bottle is the social anxiety eating away inside me of looking like a fat cunt with a huge bottle of coke instead of the normal 500ml.
[QUOTE=icemaz;52212485]The only thing stopping me from buying a 2L bottle is the social anxiety eating away inside me of looking like a fat cunt with a huge bottle of coke instead of the normal 500ml.[/QUOTE] Would anyone reasonably assume you intend to drink that 2L in one sitting in public? No, they'll likely assume you'll put it in the fridge for later.
I've eaten one of the two pizzas, the other is in the fridge after I had to tangle with cling film. I've not been hungry for, like, 10 hours or more and now I'm worried like I glitched something in The Matrix and my hunger meter is broken. Well, it's better than the pizza turning bad. I just hope the other one lasts, I didn't get it in the fridge for a while after it cooled down...
