On the bus thing, the one thing I miss about being super fat is that no fucker wants to sit next to you cos it looks unpleasant. I haven't had a seat to myself in ages.

A leather jacket will have the same effect to ward off those with ridiculous stereotypes in their mind still.

Add a beard, messy hair, and being drunk....that should also get you a seat to yourself.

I've found that the general public are much more open to people who dress like that (like I do) than they are to the average tracksuit or hoody wearing youngster. Especially pensioners.

can attest to no one wanting to sit next to you if you have a beard.

Hasn't nearly everyone got a beard now? :P

Men obviously.

Wish I hadn't looked at that 'Friends Day' video that Facebook made me.

My inability to say no to wedding invites. Got two coming up and I really cba with either of them. Hoping that no one will notice I am not there. That's probably quite likely too.

Late night tg: koppaberg is tasty but its done a right number on my stomach. One of the worst heartburns I have ever had.

Go to mine please. Nah I can't get all that enthusiastic about the things really. Last one I went to was lovely and all but marred by bride hating my guts for me not turning up to the grooms stag do despite me giving her 2 months notice saying I would not be there. I mean I wish them well and all that but I just don't want to be a part of that.

TG: The exs mates text me today, first I have I have heard from her in about 2 months (which was only a brief exchange of merry christmases etc-properly talking June last year) saying she's coming to Birmingham. Asking for a meet. Add that to the list of shit I am not doing this year. I just know when I am someones last choice of person to go out with.

Is it possible to have a foodover? Went for a Sunday roast and we agreed to have pudding as there was still space for it. I had sticky toffee pudding and some of my mate's girlfriend's fondant she'd had enough of, which was really dry and...much. Don't want to do anything at all.

What have you got to lose? Just take a punt at it before writing them off completely.

I don't really want anything to do with her. She isnt much of a mate from my point of view. She used to live in Brum and now that she lives in Manc its as if she lives in a different country.
