[QUOTE=josm;51773234]You lot are going to uni? :suicide:[/QUOTE]
After my course ends at college, all my college friends are going to Uni, but I decided against it and am going to skip a year to see how I get on. No point spending all that time and money at uni when I don't even know if I need to yet, and I don't want to go to uni just because my friends are going.
It's a tough decision for me because I have so little friends outside college, and these guys are great, but I'm just going to be in the same situation after uni if I went so I'll just be delaying the inevitable.

Went to McDonalds. There was a new guy at the till. I asked for my Bic Mac without Big Mac sauce (yes, we've had this argument before). He thought I wanted only Big Mac sauce. I corrected him. Turns out I got a Big Mac with only Big Mac sauce and without any Big Mac sauce.
Lesson learned: If you want something atypical, don't ask for it from a newbie or when it's peak hours.

My experience of fast food is always never ask for anything specific because you probably won't get it and the second you order more than 3 items you might as well give up because it's bound to be fucked up in some way.
Maybe it's that lettuce curse or whatever's going on.

They've been pretty good about my no-sauce thing until lately...
My work got robbed today and I was expecting it to be hundreds of pounds in losses. Turns out all that happened was that the guy pulled a knife, my manager walked away calmly and so the robber stole Bridget Jones's Baby.

What a fucking heist.
One of our stores got done a few months ago and the robbers were throwing the female staff around the shop. My manager was talking about it and turned to me and said that if our shop was ever raided they'd probably kick the living shit out of me because I'm a 6'2 male.
Thanks for that confidence boss.
All the guy with the knife gets is a DVD and a guy who threatens no one manages to steal loads of packs of beer.
Knife Man, was it worth it?

It's almost weird that England has the black people to pull of music videos like that. And when I watch them, I notice that a few of them look mixed/white enough that it seems they couldn't find enough black people and had to look for 'just-abouts'.
Like everywhere I've ever gone in the UK has been 90% white, except maybe when I lived in milton Keynes for a bit with a pakistani family, but even then you don't get ethnic areas. So it just seems like those videos are copying american images of 'blackness', which is really weird to me cause I've always lived in areas where black people seamlessly blend into the culture and don't try their own seperate thing.
But then again, Big cities like london/manchester are different enough from the rest of the country that I probably shouldn't extrapolate for them.
No one stays in one place in Milton Keynes because they keep getting lost at the roundabouts and never find their way home

Black British culture has always been there, but has mostly been ignored by mainstream media for the past 40 or so years. While grime takes cues from American rap scenes (the biggest probably the bravado), going back it's origins are in west indian sound system culture and has always been alot more mixed than American scenes. You can find youtue videos of sound system dances in the 70s in Bristol and London and you'll see a fair number of white faces, my (white) mum used to go to soundsystems and even had local rigs play in her (white) parents basement.
It's all filtered down to the main British homegronn dance scenes; jungle, garage, grime and dubstep. These all have their origins in reggae soundsystems and have carried and continued elements of the genres before them.

blame harsh working conditions
blame shitty managers
blame high volumes of food orders
blame people that just don't care
