Fuck off mate.[/QUOTE] Sorry, we work long hours on repetative tasks that have no end in sight, on our feet all day with the whips of our slave drivers cracking over our heads with the knowledge that we're easily replacable and constantly assessed for worth. It's not pleasant.

Amazon finally dispatched my order. Tracking says it's coming from Saran, France. Maybe that's why it took so long to dispatch.
So I woke up at 10, having slept through my alarm. If I wasn't at my lab by 10:30 I automatically failed it. Managed to get there by 10:20 because of a well timed bus and lots of running/speedy dressing, and got through on adrenaline having not eaten or anything. Aced it :dance:. Thank God for it being a quick, easy lab and my partner being good enough. Now I need food fuck I'm hungry.

what's the best way to give closure in a relationship? Where your breakup consisted of flip flopping, actively making terrible decisions, coming so close to doing the right thing and fucking up, and pushing your closer friends away because of it? According to my ex: "I was going to call you to tell you to stop talking to me. I'm seeing somebody else. Please don't talk to me" What a fucking ice queen cunt.

The sooner you cut out the things in your life you recognise as making you unhappy, the better you'll feel in the long run. You don't put your hand in fire a 3rd time to try to find out how to not make it hurt. If either you or the woman in question are unhappy with the other, it's sensible to go your separate ways. Though there's a nicer way of doing it than how she put it.
Had a job interview at my local Co-op today, I think it went well. Gonna find out on Wednesday
[QUOTE=Jame's;51199179]What do people here do with their spare time? like on your days off.[/QUOTE] Spend half the day sleeping, the other half scrolling through random posts. It's pretty dope.
I'm having trouble digging up if this is a legal problem or not, so I'm hoping I'd get the answer by asking you guys instead. So I live in Scotland and I'm a European citizen, doing college. I work part-time in a restaurant and about two-three weeks ago, I had to be evicted from my living place and had to give it to the one of the landowners relatives (they were very apologetic about it, they didn't have a choice). However, one of the chefs from my restaurant offered me one of his rooms, which I accepted almost immediately. When I asked about the price he said, 'don't worry about it.' So it's been a week now and I've been living here without having to pay a single penny to him and all things are fine and dandy. He's happy to see me, we hang out and chat, etc. I'm just wondering that if I'm living in another guy's place without having to pay rent and he's cool with it, would that result in some kind of law-breaking or some shit? I know that some people would say 'it shouldn't' but I want to make sure.
It shouldn't. It might be breaking his tenancy agreement if he rents his home.

I'd also chat to your chef about rent and stuff - it might be difficult but he might not have imagined you setting up shop there for months.

[editline]15th October 2016[/editline] i had an ex who wasn't taking the "i've got a partner now" very well tell me that she had taken a massive overdose on the phone to me and that she was going light headed and looking forward to it. i phoned her friends in glasgow to try get round to her gaff and make sure she's ok, was about 20 paces from phoning an ambulance to her house. pals rang me like "why are you talking to me? she hates you and i hate you too, don't talk to me". i was like sound, don't give a fuck what she's told you but she's told me this, be a fucking pal and help. pops up on fb like "oh sorry i fell asleep everything ok" and i was like holy fucking shit fuck this i'm off cya

[/QUOTE] In this case, it isn't a contract because Gleb hasn't given anything. For a contract to be in place there must be an exchange of something, even if it has "no value" or is not enforced or collected (peppercorn rent etc). Whilst slightly more difficult to prove there must also be an intent to create a contract for one to exist. Just be aware that because there is no rental agreement in place, neither of you are legally protected from anything. As long as you remain on good terms with him it's unlikely to be a problem, but as mentioned, Citizens Advice are good at these things.

The only thing that might be a bit dodgy is if the chef is renting too and he asks for money. He'd then be sub-letting which is frowned upon by a lot of rental agreements. But that's not the case so far, so don't worry. If I were you, I'd offer to pay towards the bills as a matter of courtesy
He offered me the place before I had to be moved out, I wasn't interested because I was already living comfortably, but then, y'know, shit happens. And he does know that I'm a student and he's okay with me staying at his place for a long time. I'm staying until June or July, when I'll have to move out to another town as I'm planning on going to uni. Thanks for all the help and advice guys!
[QUOTE=codenamecueball;51205743] just stop talking to her. when she makes contact, don't talk to her. let her get on with life and you get on with yours.[/QUOTE] basically going to be the plan; one of her closer pals who is friends with me has had my back the entire time and has actually told me "if she's going to be like this just don't waste your time". Imagine actually putting down one of your best pals like that, shows how much they care. I'm now just upset wether she's been a cunt the entire time and I've not really realised, and now that i'm actually facing the brunt of it I can see that honestly, if she keeps acting like this to her pals and anyone close to her, she's gonna end up with naebedy. It's just upsetting that someone you cared for and thought they cared for you, to start treating you like dogshite - but i'll get over it, it's only onwards and upwards from here on. At least I got closure, albeit not the more amicable kind I was wanting And good luck to her rebound, somehow doubt he'll put up with as much shite as I did.
There's always so much rubbish on the Youtube front page when you're not signed in.
Someone stole a waitrose trolley and left it outside our block. Who the fuck shops at waitrose as a student and then steals a trolley which involves a full on 40 minute to an hour walk. It's now in one of my flatmates rooms. He's finally pulled.

And I know what it's like to never feel like you got closure in a relationship. It's fucking vile. I really wish you the absolute best mate. To sit there at night, and wonder "what did I do? What didn't I do?" Is a special kind of hell. God knows you don't deserve that kind of shit. Don't chase it, trying to get closure, because you might not get it. And that's fine. Don't let it haunt you, reminding you of it every day, because you deserve better. This might just be the Irish moonshine my friend bought me talking, but I've been where you are a lot. Closure is a myth and you can live without it. All the best buddy
so many students are socially clueless yes, interrupt my raving to ask me for my opinion on brexit you fucking noodle

Not even because their parents wouldn't pay for better, but because "well it's part of the experience, I get to take part in the social safari before my gap yah". Fuckin Waitrose man. Just deal with Aldi and Iceland like the rest of us.
