What blew your mind today

I knew Norwegian wages were high, but I found out that if you're a cleaner or cook for an oil rig, you earn £60,000 a year working two weeks on, four weeks off at a time.

Bloody hell... For reference, an offshore engineer here will earn £35,000 and do two on, two off.

You saw how much shit was in Oslo when I was there, right?

On average things cost just shy over 2x the amount they are over here.

[Womble]

Yeah, it's the equivalent of someone here getting £25k-£35k after tax for doing two weeks of work every six weeks!

Plus, a bunch of people do that and live elsewhere. Norwegian money with UK prices!

Just found out that the guy who directed the Addams Family movies (Barry Sonnenfeld) also did the Men In Black movies.

That explains why they're both awesome.

Men in Black 3 was not awesome. Unless we are pretending it didn't happen.

You take that back right now! MIB3 completed the series off perfectly!!

What blew my mind today: someone liked MIB3.......

[Turbo]

I think the only reason I watched any of them is because I like Tommy Lee Jones. 1 was ok at best, I don't remember 2 so didn't leave a lasting impression and I know I definitely have not seen the third.


Addams Family though is ace.

MIB3 was waaay better than MIB2...

[Jobdone]

I too enjoyed MIB3.

Josh Brolin is a beast.

[Ensorcelled]

Not seen 3, but 2 was terrible.

[Bizza]

MIB3 was waaay better than MIB2...

By far, MIB2 was awful.

My dad just asked how it was when I met up with Irishman, and was happy when I said it went well. Genuinely happy. Rare but very lovely feeling. Especially that he actually asked.

Turns out we can blame the French for Agadoo (they call it "Agadou").

So in a bizarre twist of fate, a week before my MOT runs out and literally the day before my new car is delivered (I'll get to that awesome shit later) my car dies... the moment I turn in the driveway.
How fucking weird is that?!
I was going to scrap it anyway, but it topped itself... it knows!
