Owt specific or just a bad day?

Nothing outright horrible; just waiting for something to alleviate a bit of a moody panic and it's not happening.

Olivia Newton John looks disturbingly good for 63.

Ugh.

I always avoid Croydon as much as I can, but the only good thing about it is the Vue cinema.

10am in Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee and the borders

Scotland has no rules at all about Sunday opening, so they could probably open even earlier if they wanted to.

[dc89]

So Wonga have branched into larger loans for small business's. Probably in a move to clean up their image, and to be fair, this is not that bad.

My APR calc earlier was wrong, Wonga says. It's poss to borrow £7,500 for 16 weeks. 0.3% per week, plus 1% fee. Total repay: £7,935

@hwallop

Still wouldn't touch them with a barge pole ever, under no circumstance. But people obviously do.

Yeah, thats only high street shops. I think most of them only open at time to avoid any off license hassle.

u guys shud play dayz. we can be a british crew who survives one day at a time as if we were living in glasgow itself.

I would, I really would but I'm basically the definition of "dead weight" in these types of things. (Also I've only got my laptop atm)

I just don't like the sound of the part where you can get constantly raped by other players. I know that's definitely part of the appeal, but still! I don't trust people.

I'll probably try it out anyway. Need to buy ArmA2 first, like. My favourite parts of The Walking Dead are definitely the parts where they're making progress whilst trying to avoid the geeks so it does sound mostly appealing.

[BGBW]

I survived.

Ugh. I always avoid Croydon as much as I can, but the only good thing about it is the Vue cinema.

We walked around and it really drilled in how boring the place is. Hopefully next time we meet I'll be able to convince her to meet up somewhere else even if it it means a longer journey for her.

I would if Diablo 3 didn't come out next week. Think I'm going to take a day off work for the weekend after.

Yeah Croydon is not really a place to hang around unless you live there (like me :|)

[Suairyu]

Also how was the animu night?

Great, mostly.

First film was a the third Bleach film. Lots of action. I left halfway through because I needed to take a hearty shit. Didn't feel like I'd missed anything.

Next we watched all seven episodes of a 3D anime called 'Freedom'. Wasn't that great.

But the next viewing was the first two Mardock Scramble movies. Never heard of it before, but was instantly drawn in. Fascinating work. Great action, sex scenes galore and a plot/setting/premise that genuinely pulled me in. A wonderful suprise.

Finally, the highlight of the night was the final film, and I knew it was going to be the best from the very start. Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust. Stunning animation, beautiful art design (Yoshitaka Amano = <3) and a story that provided a decent excuse for what was essentially fight scene after fight scene. Will have to see the first film and read the mangas now. We watched it in English, given that the American voicework was actually the original voice track, the Japanese being the 'dub'. Kinda cool.

Got two free DVDs and a short story collection in the swag bag.

They gave us tons of free Mountain Dew. I have never tasted it before. I never want to again. It made me feel ill.

The screen room was hot, clammy and filled with fat nerds. Between viewings I went to the bathroom to splash cold water on my face then went outside to gulp in fresh air.

Whole thing wrapped up at 9am. Stumbled around London bored for a bit. Attending a screening of the original Buffy The Vampire Slayer film at the Prince Charles Cinema for its 'bad movie Sunday' thing.

Was basically awake for 35 hours straight.

Checked into the hotel at 4pm, had sex, crashed. Woke up at 10am-ish. Had sex. Was walked in on. Resumed having sex. Checked out.

Saw Marvel Avengers Assemble, deciding it was the only good film in the new Marvel stable since Iron Man 1.

All in all, a good bank holiday weekend.

Now going to bed and have the feeling I'm going to regret my sugar/caffeine/anime binge tomorrow at work.

Morning Gaffers! Hope everyone had a nice bank holiday weeknd.

My working week has started off with a load of shit from the bitch, but she's left for the day now so not all is bad. Cannot wait to see her face when I hand my notice in.

So how is everyone doing lately? I feel like its been all about me and none about you. Share with Musha.

I had an exam!

It was piss easy.

Awww, you're a wee babby (I clearly don't know how Scottish people speak to apologies to any Scotts in the thread!) Cheers for trying to help me with my various problems getting DayZ to work. It looks like I'm basically there, I have managed to get into a few games now but BattlEye is still causing me grief (I suspect it's because I'm using a VPN).

Anyway, welcome to the thread!

I had a black one of those, I thought I was Michael Knight on it!



My weekend was mostly spent with latex ladies in London. I only went for a jolly, but it ended up turning into a busman's holiday!



I also went to Netil Street market to try the best hamburger in London, but the bloody place was shut after traipsing up from Bethnal Green tube! I was gasping for a burger so Goodmans was the next nearest on that list, and Ah! My Goddess! It was a meat patty from heaven!



Every element of the burger was tasty, and it kept together like Handmade Burgers don't. I felt like a right tramp in there though compared to the city gents guffawing loudly around us.

Londoners: Don't you get fed up of black bogies? Every time I go down there my magic nose goblins are black.

That's the most pitiful plate of chips i've ever seen.

[Seanbob11]

What one though? There's so many choices! My Bacon Cheeseburger with extra cheese is to die for - and never falls apart.

[Jill Sandwich]

Oh I'm not critting HMBC, but sometimes their burgers are so juicy the bottom bun gets soggy! I've found the best thing to do is grasp them in your claws as soon as they arrive, pick them up and let them dribble for a bit. I had the new American one recently which was packed with bacon, onion rings, mushroom and cheese. It was so tall I had to deconstruct it a bit before grabbing it like a tart's bottom.
That reminds me, the lady at the till was like 'would you like bacon and mushroom in it?' not informing me that these were paid extras, so I got played. I could have protested, but mmm bacon and mushroom...

That pile of chips there is deceptive, in fact the whole picture is. That was a large burger and had so much meat I felt bloated. Trust me, there were the correct amount of chips there. If you want pitiful chips (and who doesn't?) try any Beefeater pubstraunt's 'bottomless chips.' They come in tiny cupfuls, when you finish them the waitress asks if you want more, and you say yes because bottomless chips, but you don't really want them as they're the most flavourless sat-under-the-heat-lamp school dinner chips ever. The Goodman's chips were piping hot, crispy with fluffy middles, and had a good earthy potato flavour.

That reminds me, gaf. I have a day, a single day.. nay, a few hours (2pm onwards) to spend in London in about a month's time (Catching a flight at Heathrow the next day).

Never been before, what should I spend my extremely limited time on?

[daviyoung]

Er...maybe get on the Piccadilly Line (the purple one) at Heathrow. Travel to Piccadilly, look at the circle and the Sanyo lights. Get back on the subway, travel back to Heathrow.

I only get black bogies when I use the tube which thankfully is very rare nowadays. I can either cycle or get the overground to work which is a much more civilised way to travel than being packed into a sweaty, stinking tube.


I'll have to give some of those burger places a try, think the most recent one I went to was Byron's which was pretty fucking tasty for a chain.

Will also be giving this a visit as soon as I've got a free Friday: http://www.streetfeastlondon.com/#!traders|c13qh

Yeah it must be the tube. I must learn to master London buses, they are intimidating for the visitor!

Sage00, Get the tube to St Pauls, see the cathedral, go south and cross the millennium bridge, walk west across the south bank, do the Eye if you have time, cross Westminster brige, marvel at how small Big Ben is, head west to Buckingham Palace, then north to Green Park tube station, take the tube or walk east to Piccadilly Circus, then piss off.

Edit: Those gals left to right: Stephanie Fitzpatrick, Sabien Demonia, Ausrie Fel, Danni Divine, Cici Von Crypt, Betty Havok, Amie Conradine, Effectum. All real names obviously.

All that lycra and flesh yet only two that would do it for me. Byron's might not measure up to those other places but it was definitely the best burger I've had in quite some time.
