    :D You have to learn to live with them, i think i pissed one off at work the other day she continued to preach to me the powers of her new toy, all i wanted to do was read the paper.

    "What do you use if for then?"

    "... Texting and ringing people"

    "What about apps?"

    "I use it as an mp3 player aswell"

    *slowly slides my smudged Htc Wildfire across the table with spotify premium on screen*

    "So your telling me your spending all that money on a phone that you use for the exact same reason i use my less superior one but a damn site cheaper"

    "Be careful with the glass screen and rear hope you got apple care"

    *Victory sip of Dr.Pepper*

    If you don't pay rent then of course, or move to a different city if you can find work there.

    I couldn't find any work in my area (aside from the odd retail job) so I applied for jobs in London, whilst not ideal it at least allows me to get by as I find jobs in London are slightly higher paid due to the high cost of living. I'm putting aside some money each month the the hope of eventually moving to London and removing the upfront cost of travel.

    Why did you buy the annual ticket instead of monthly?

    It works out £577.60 cheaper in the long run. Work give me an interest free loan for the season ticket so it's better for me on a monthly basis as less is subtracted from my pay check (£316.67 as opposed to £364.80)

    How FKING stupid are you allowed to be as an electrician? Had to spent another 1,5 hours on top of my 8 hour shift because the dung-head who wired the alarm for the huge walk-in freezer in the store I work at found it intelligent to wire the alarm to the same circuit as the freezer. Power to freezer goes, power to alarm goes which means noone called anyone when the freezer died this morning, and I haven't had to use it all day. There's a reason that guy's an electrician and not a nuclear physicist.

    Lost a ship (model) my grandfather built, the last one he built before a massive stroke and the last succesful build before he died, which he always said was to be mine.

    I'm actually going to tear the ************ that binned it limb from limb.
