While I miss Glastonbury being off this year, I'm at least thankful I don't have to deal with the absolute insanity that is camping there in the hottest days of summer. Fuck this heat, seriously.

Where's optimistic when you need it?
ITV's web player is so bad, the quality is so much worse than iPlayer (yet I can go and find a steam of ITV that is as good as the TV quality). Also the ITV app doesn't let you watch live stuff. ALSO their web player makes you watch a few ads before you actually see what's on. Why are they so backwards? It's a travesty that they get a share of the world cup games with such poor online services.
im glad i got one of them right... all i lost was £6.70 in the end

STV's (Scottish TV channel which is basically ITV Scotland but also isn't because it's separate) is pretty good when I tried it last night
I've spent so long indoors at evening watching Top Gear re-runs so much that now the only thing I can remember is "DACIA: KEEPING IT SIMPLE WITH PRIMETIME ON DAVE"
It's the only god-damn thing I can hear at night looped in my head is that agagghhghh
As well as this, for some strange reason, none of the banks or Bureau de Changes accept Isle of Man Pounds. So now I'm stuck for cash as my entire wallet consists of these buggers.
Anyone here get contact lenses by post? If so, which opticians do you get them from?
Feeling hard done by Boots contacts, haven't sent me contacts in months and still charging me.
I saw greg posting. Anybody noticed that greggs are starting to pop up fucking everywhere. There's like 6 new greggs being build around me.
My missus is with Boots too, she's in there nearly every weekend shouting at them. Constantly fucking stuff up, sending the wrong prescriptions, not sorting out referalls and stuff
going to Greggs once I'm done with work in an hour, usually combo something with the latte for the £2.20 deal they do. What should I get fellas?
you turn around for a second and look back and another greggs has appeared
I fucking hate ant day
Started watching Taskmaster online, I'm enjoying it a lot more than I thought I would which is nice. Panel Shows are so contestant reliant, and this current season at least has a solid roster that hasn't gotten boring after 6 episodes which is always pleasant.
You're so lucky! I don't have a single Greggs where I live, nor a Burger King!
Do you even live in the UK?
Work barby happened yesterday. Stayed up until 2AM when everyone went to bed but I'm not suffering somehow.
Does this make me an alcoholic?
No but it makes you an absolute MADLAD™
You didn't drink enough
2AM? Settle down mate settle down!

It's ma birthday today, gonna go to the pub and get a burger <3
For a school night though, it's not bad.
Our office moved at the beginning of the week. Moved from an old, crumbling mansion outside of town to an office in the city center.
This was exciting, meant I could actually access shops and stuff after work without it being a ball ache and cos I'd be getting the bus instead of driving, I could sneak a pint for lunch.
Then on Monday afternoon it was revealed to us that our part of the company has been bought up by an investor, so today we'd be moving again. Today was that day, an industrial estate outside of town.
Not being in town is a bit shit, but I'm excited for what it means for myself, the company. I'm now the most senior member of staff after the MD (aside from the investor I guess), my old boss is now a contractor/supplier so in a way I'm sort of his boss. :V:
I think it's the kick up the arse I need, works been pretty slow over the past year or so, and I've just sort of coasted, spending alot of time looking at what I like on the internet. Not to say I'm bad at my job, we deliver everything on time and to a high standard, and I always make myself available for travel etc.
I hope it all works out, I hope I don't fuck it up and I'm hoping the MD can get us some good work.
There is a Greggs in my town but we don't have a Burger King. We have just about everything else but no Burger King. They was going to put one in the town many years ago but decided not to in the end. The town has plenty of vacant closed down places that would be an alright fit for one but this town is 90% fast food anyway.
Burger Kings a weird one, my hometown used to have one but they closed it and never came back. The place has a fucking Taco Bell and a John Lewis (this was big news) but no Burger King
Burger King is the one, double xl bacon cheeseburger sorts me out on a bad day anytime.
If enough of you start paddling you can probably become part of europe before Brexit, just sayin.
It wont fix the Greggs issue but it might just stave off economic ruin.
