The stick-on netting stuff is an absolute godsend this time of year, my windows been open for a month with no bugs getting in when normally my gaff would be a re-enactment of 300 but with the Persians replaced by wasps.
I was getting loads of bees in my room last month whenever I opened my window, but they seem to have disappeared. Barely getting any flies either. Fucking moths though, and spiders, I'm tempted to get a net so I can keep it open at night without being inundated by the local wildlife.

I can't delete this fucking thing so I'll have to reply Yeah takes the piss doesn't it
Ventured into the local co-op in search of a pot noodle. Imagine my surprise as I turn around, glance at the meal deal section and find that the chocolate brownie is back in the meal deal. Slapped that pot noodle back on the shelf and went for the all day breakfast sandwich, brownie and red bull. Today has been a good day so far.
Just realized my railcard expires in December and I can no longer get a new one....Getting the train to my parents for Christmas will cost £190 for an off peak ticket or £370 for an anytime return (And with a railcard an anytime return cost £120) Last few times I have had to stand the majority of the 7 hour journey because the trains have been so packed which was bad enough but now I get to pay £200 for the privilege...I like our train system but the prices are just beyond screwed considering just a few years ago this same journey used to cost me £70 and the overcrowding of services. Would consider flying as it only costs £120 for a roundtrip but it takes an hour drive to the airport and I usually take my PC with me which I'm not really comfortable risking taking on a plane.

Friend decided to try and start a PI agency. I called first dibs on paranormal division, watch as I get all the cases.

I already work full time tho, I seriously considered keeping an eye out if any train companies are looking for anyone to go into financial positions in their offices though cause I imagine they get the same benefits, pretty sure when I was in software development I was looking at development jobs for Network Rail and they got the benefits. I have done it before but it's 10-11 hours and extremely uncomfortable, and I usually go for a good few weeks so I take my PC up with me, shape is too awkward to fit in a suitcase and last time I took it on a bus covered up I said it was delicate and the driver still piled loads of stuff on it and it bent in some bits of the case.
Anyone else's local shop make a massive effort to prevent customers coming in within half an hour to closing? Mine blocks off the main entrance, puts staff near the back door to ask what they're coming in for, and makes tannoy announcements every 5 minutes to say they're closing in half an hour. I can usually do a full weeks shop within half an hour, so I don't really appreciate being accosted on the way in for a bag of crisps and a red bull (which I got ID'd for btw).
When you work in a shop it's really fucking annoying when you've got customers preventing you from going home. It's especially bad on a sunday because it's early, and you get that mad rush at 1530 when people are rushing before it shuts
I've had to work until 1 in the morning at a past job because our shop could only start closing preparations once every customer had left, but our boss was too polite to say "ur 30 minutes late, get the fuck out". It's worth noting that the shop was meant to shut at 9pm.
I'm FUCKING MELTING.
Hayfever got a real bad hold of me. Need to book an injection.
Me too... a lethal injection
So you want to be a toddler again?
Even as a toddler I had a bigger dick than you
Oh yeah I understand completely how shit it is for retail workers when it comes to people coming in and expecting to do a full shop with 10 minutes to go. The shop I used to work in had a pretty good system, and we would usually get rid of everyone in time (and would be firm with the people who would expect to buy after closing). I just don't feel like this shop does itself any favours. Closing all of the self service machines and nobody on the tills, only the cigarette kiosk is open. So everyone has to queue anyway. And yeah, I just don't appreciate people blocking me from entering a store with plenty of time before closing. It's hot, I'm grumpy.
Kick off, its the British way
It's not even going below 20 over night now, fuck sake.
Had an eventful evening. My mate's been traveling between Leeds and Liverpool the past couple of weeks, his mum is basically dying. He came back to Leeds around 6pm today, I went round his for a couple of hours to make sure he's okay and that. About 5 minutes after I got back to mine my gf got a call from him saying the hospital phoned and he should visit. I couldn't say no, so we drove there and we stayed for a few hours with him until more of his family arrived. I've just got in, it's 4am, meant to be starting work at 9, I can't see that happening. I feel bad about leaving him there, I'm not sure what the situation is at the moment. I've offered to pick him up tomorrow and he can stay with us, as his girlfriend just today went to Slovenia for a week. I knew his mum had been ill but didn't know she was so bad, I can't even imagine what he's going through
I've just started seeing a girl who's convinced I'm a northerner I'm from the midlands ffs nowhere near the north
Anywhere north of London makes you a northerner.
Lucky you. I work on Sunday too an it's usually fucking crazy. We close at half 4, and you always get about 5 people like 10 minutes before close taking the piss with trollies piled high, or some awkward cunt with a weird return that ages to get sorted.
Anywhere south of Liverpool makes you a southerner.
