My cousin, who's about mid-late-teens, seems to be a pretty good singer/guitarist. Not sure if she has her own material but just seen a vid of her pull off a Regina Spektor cover pretty solidly.

Nah, fuck you. I'm sick of obeying the highway code 100% of the time (I may be a minority, but as a motorist and a cyclist, motorists are so much worse) and nearly being hit by dangerous drivers, and getting harassment and abuse from people for no reason whatsoever other than being in a cycle lane. If people want to be cunts and start swearing out of their car window and beeping just because we prevent them from jumping the lights then they can GF. Owning a German car doesn't make you the king of the fucking world.

Holy fuck Steve 2.0 welcome to the forums.


So anyway aside from the public transport in the Midlands being worse than anything in the world, I had a really good catch up with my mate and a few other people. Been a bit of a wild one in the sense of old work gossip. Disclaimer: Not what made me happy as much as I didn't like him but found out one of my old bosses died of a heart attack at 43, I mean wtf? Poor guy, an asshole but I don't wish that on anyone. Then a good mate of mine split up from his missus which I learned...from his missus not him. So that was interessant. Fascinating stuff. We're going to go out hopefully on the 10th October for more heartbreak and misery. Those nights are the best nights.

Don't obey the highway code then? I cycle a fair bit in London and sometimes a motorist acts like a twat and has a go at me for it, when it's not my fault. I don't care because the ratio of me acting like a twat is pretty much the same.

Pretty sure the people in those cars arent swearing and beeping because they want to jump the lights :rolleyes: If you roll into the centre of a lane on the amber and stop anyone passing, then that's you being a cunt, sorry.

Both sides can be as bad as each other I find. But it's the same with all forms of transport, idiots everywhere!

As a pedestrian I agree.

What I don't understand about cyclists is how they get away with lycra that tight. Surely they should get arrested for having a full reem on show. Veins and all. Mummy what has that guy got tucked in his shorts?

Aerodynamics of that thing floating around in the wind must be shocking too.

I could only see two people in the whole audience that weren't up and dancing most of the time. Richard O'Brien is an absolute dream. If I could afford to go back and see it again I would a hundred times over.

Root canal treatment was easy as piss. Don't know why people moan about it being awful.

The doctors have finally agreed to stop trying to put me on different pills and give me a blood test to find out what's wrong with me so I can see an appropriate specialist, hallelujah!
but blood test can fuck reet off

Absolute bargain of an apartment for the Irish horde 5 minutes from the venue for Live Evil sorted. Working out cheaper per person than even the shittiest hostel dorm bed in London for 3 nights would be.

Plus, didn't even notice until after the confirmation email the place has a fucking swimming pool! I mean, I can't really swim. But it's nice to have.

Student loans have refunded my overpayment. With the help of the very generous Kate that's a new car sorted!
