The woman in my work who has spent the whole of last week telling anyone that would listen that she's off after yesterday to go to the lakes for a week for a relaxing 'digital detox'.

 

Just the three Facebook posts so far;  the setting off in the car selfie, the arrived at their lodge update and now 'date night with this one' post and picture from the restaurant/pub.

 

Let me guess, she has a Facebook profile with new at the end of her name or her middle name instead of a surname.

She doesn't, but wouldn't have surprised me, she's almost a living checklist of all things that scream cunt.

 

As a rule I don't accept requests from anyone that has 'new' in their profile name.

Jonathan Agnew was a bit miffed, to be fair.

Someone on a forum who negs a post from 6 years ago. At 5 o’clock in the morning. 
 

I hope they seek help. I’m genuinely concerned for their wellbeing. 

I was going to beg this, but have instead set an alarm for 5am on the 12th of august 2029 so I can do it then

Talk me through the process of how you came to be reading posts from around 6 years ago at around 5 in the morning? I’m eager to find out the thought process behind it all. You surely must agree that it’s a tiny bit weird?

I constantly read this forum when I can’t sleep and often end up reading and repping old posts from years ago. Would you question a rep from 6 years back too?

Attitudes towards money 

 

I know a few who would rather have 100% of 300 quid than 50% of an asset like a house

 

Or would fly via the most painstaking route to save a tenner

 

I would add to this people who have an over reliance on their family. We all need some help occasionally but I know some who can't get a new tyre on a car without enlisting the family. The more reliance rhe less real world exposure so it is a spiral

Crying a lot in public, especially on nights out. Then cheering up swiftly.

I’ve gone off ale so much in the last couple of years that I’ve taken to carrying extra strong mints to have between pints. People have asked how I can drink lager and eat mints at the same time. I don’t know the answer but for whatever reason it helps the beer go down better. I don’t have mints on me at any time other than when I’m going the pub.

I can relate to this a little, I still drink but I'm always struggling to pick something I fancy, I even switch now between shorts and Pints through a night out and i've never done that before.

Had to have the third kid in the End otherwise I would have just been left with SS and that wouldnt look good.

Some fella i used to work with would go to places and go via all mad routes to save around £100. He had two young kids and would subject them to this. 

 

He went to Florida once and went Liverpool-Jersey-Gatwick-Madrid then to Orlando. I asked him how much cheaper it was and he said about £200. Even when he goes to Spain he won't go direct unless its about 30 return. You're basically knackered when you get there and when you come home you must need to take another 2 days off to recover.
