You just said you overtake. So that can't be true.

The wifes got embarrassing fat bodies on and the sob stories are pitiful. "I've had a gastric band fitted and after losing weight i've now put on 3 stone, what do I do".............. STOP FUCKING EATING!

They asked her if she'd been cheating, and yep she'd been shoveling down the chocolate. Good to see our tax money paying for these well deserving operations.

She should be made to pay for the band then.

I occasionally watch a prog called 'Heavy' on the Bio channel. Some of those people are bed/chair bound. I like to think I'd get to a point before that and think 'now hang on a sec'.

Also, baseball. Not the game, but that damn organ:

Na na naa na na.
(slight pitch up)
Na na naaaa na na.

Wtf is that about?

Its just something I'll never be able to get my head around Sat. I know alot of it comes from low self esteem, but by christ it aint rocket science.

Aye. Sure there are faster ways to
kill yourself. One guy eventually decided to do something about it, he was in a right mess. A huge fatty growth thing had to be removed from his leg before he could do any exercise. He couldn't go swimming with it as it had a hole which goo came out of. So he got off to a slow start. He was somewhere over 40 stone. He lost some weight, went home and his father and brothers he lived with were taking the mick cos he didn't wanna eat crap food. Ffs.

Tempted to fuck off around the 15th and take the little'un out of school for 3 days before she breaks up.

I can get flights and a decentish hotel in Majorca for 3 of us (around the 650 mark)......a week later i'm adding another 200 to the price.

Tell me mate. When mine were younger I'd take them out the last few days of term, it wasn't as if they were actually missing any work as it was all done.

Pretentious Apple Store. I mean ffs. Right, here I go:

I decided to throw my phone on the floor and the screen smashed, I mean REALLY smashed. It was held together by the screen protector (haha to you who mocked the screen protector) but today that's started to come loose. Now, due to the 'no van parking' law which seems to be in force in Cambridge town center, I pulled one of the many favours I am owed and got a mate to give me a lift in and back out again after work so I could go and dump it on them and get it fixed. You'd think that would be simple eh? Here, have the phone, fix it please, I will collect and pay for it when it's done. The usual. Well oh no...

"Hi, I have broken my phone"
"Ok well we can't fix the screen on that so you can pay £139 and we'll swap it for a new one"
"Cool, I'll do that then"
"Do you have an appointment"
"WHAT?"
"You need an appointment"
"Why?"
"You need to be present when we do it"
*Stunned silence*
"When can you come in?"
"I have no idea"
"Well, go to our website and you can make one on there, here, have a business card"

The business card is for this guy, a 'Visual Specialist' no less. I have made an appointment, they are TEN WHOLE MINUTES each. So I can be present when they take my phone and hand me a new one, and do damage to my bank balance. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT ABOUT?
Pretentious is all I can think of. I know people who would absolutely adore it if they could say "must rush, I have an appointment with the Apple Store". Idiots that they are.
I will hopefully get a lift into town and probably have to get a taxi back to work to pick up my van and get home. I will be complaining afterward. Do you need an appointment to buy something too?

Post by **M H** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 10:06 pm

Make an appointment and I'll sell you my body Sat

Post by **sat** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 10:07 pm

I don't want a damn appointment. I want what I want when I get there. I expect SERVICE goddamit!

(fnar fnar)

Post by **M H** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 10:09 pm

You'll get the service when you get here Sat

Post by **sat** » Wed Jun 29, 2011 10:12 pm

Then you are better than the damn Apple Store.

I notice it's not shop. Boutique would have been more suited, something as pretentious as an appointment with a sales assistant. Oh sorry, "visual specialist".
