AAARRRGGGHHHH!!!

[Suairyu]

I'm two men down at work. Probably will be staying until 9pm tonight and tomorrow. That's if I'm quick.

edit - Jesus, Smoky. Your sarcastic ways about travelers is just playing with fire.

[killer_clank]

Man, UK GAF bloodbath recently.

Did we ever find out if Meadows second ban was perma or not?

[runlikehell]

Such an immense post Dave.

[Musha_Soturi]

See now I had to go and post in there just to prove I was cool too........

[Suairyu]

You're such a goody two shoes, Musha.

[daviyoung]

Any travellers want to pop in and say hi now that we've made them feel thoroughly welcome.

I would hope my comments will be taken in the spirit they were given: light mockery.

Seriously though, that thread is dangerous. The cultural gulf on this site is sometimes very, very evident.

[Xun]

I'm almost tempted to post, but I best not.

I'd probably be banned, which could potentially be a good thing.

Now now, let's not say things we'll regret...

I know. I once said 'oriental' without knowing US Gaf considers it a slur on the same scale as 'nigger'.

I've entered some very volitile threads and said some very traditionally controversial things and have never been banned. Establish a reputation for intelligent posting and always explain yourself fully - you will be immune to the ban hammer.

[daviyoung]

Thread has got volatile.

[Suairyu]

Keep calm and carry on. It's only one guy causing a fuss.

[BGBW]

Just don't post anything that can be considered hateful.

[Xun]

Now now, let's not say things we'll regret...

Yeah, I shouldn't of added that bit at the end.

Very true.

Show of hands:

Who thought Richard O'Brien, presenter of the Crystal Maze, was dead? This urban myth seems to be so pervasive and I have no idea where it came from. Can't find anything about it online.

[Chinner]

dont worry guys, american mods understand british culture than we do

I didn't, saw him on some documentary or talking head show a while ago. His successor on the Crstal Maze was absolutely barking.

The day he dies, a solid chunk of my childhood would die with him. Last I heard he was trying to move abroad, but was denied citizenship (I think it was New Zealand).

Also, a friend of mine claims to know him through his uncle. Although this friend is known as "Crazy Pete", so his reliability is somewhat up for question.

For some reason I find this less plausible than Bon Holness playing the saxophone solo on 'Baker Street'.

I believed it for a short time a few years ago, but can't remember who told me it. Was glad when I found it it was not so.

He was the reason I watched the show.

Did You Mean: Creator of The Rocky Horror Show?

I didn't think he was dead, coincidentally.

[Suairyu]

More importantly, he wrote Rocky Horror and was Riff Raff. I don't want him to be dead.

I'm totes doing an interview with him

edit - SmokyDave beat me. But yes, I neglected to mention that part because the myth usually go "that bald guy wot did Crystal Maze died"

[JonathanEx]

So just to check, I shouldn't go in there with insights gleamed from Big Fat Gypsy Weddings? I've watched every episode. I'm an expert on their culture now, clearly.

[Mr. Sam]

I've started saying thanks to bus drivers when I get on the bus in addition to when I get off. Is this too much? I believe Dave has a doctorate in public transport etiquette.

It would be like going into a thread for Armenians because you've watched Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

And Richard O'Brien was in Right Said Fred, with his brother Fred.

[BGBW]

Damn McDonald's worker has given me medium fries instead of large. Of course it is tipping it down with rain so I basically wanted to get home ASAP and have only just noticed.

Good thing I have a spare voucher as proof and I've taken a photo. Going to send them an email. And they say Brits never complain.

[SmokyDave]

Yeah, that's too much. You want a cheery 'Hiya!' upon boarding and a hearty 'Cheers!' as you depart the charabanc. That's what my textbooks say, anyway.

[CHEEZMO™]

Does anyone know anything about the NAAFI?

[blahblah...blah]

Where's this thread and what was Dave's immense post?

[SmokyDave]

Where's this thread and what was Dave's immense post?

If you figure this bit out, let me know. If there's one thing I don't do, it's 'immense'. Unless we're talking about women.

[Suairyu]

You're thinking of Richard Fairbrass.

[Xun]

I do a lot of the time, yeah.

[BGBW]

There's only room on GAF for one immense poster.

[JonathanEx]

That sounds like great fun. I'm going to go and discuss American issues with the true insight gleamed from Real Housewives of New Whatever That Shit Is

[Jedeye Sniv]

Does anyone know anything about the NAAFI?

I know there's a roundabout named after it in Aldershot, plus it has something to do with the army maybe?

This is not the helpful answer you wished for, I apologise heartily.

[Jedeye Sniv]

You're thinking of Richard Fairbrass.

I think you mean Richard Hammond.

[Suairyu]

I think you mean Richard Hammond.

Richard Hammond is gay?

[Little Old Man]

Why the fuck am I posting in that thread?!

I so nearly posted there, but all my replies were either so short they would be taken the wrong way, or so long that I couldn't be bothered typing it out, as it wouldn't in any way get my point across well or succinctly.

[CHEEZMO™]

I know there's a roundabout named after it in Aldershot, plus it has something to do with the army maybe? This is not the helpful answer you wished for, I apologise heartily.

I ask because I'm thinking of looking into it for job prospects.

[Jedeye Sniv]

Richard Hammond is gay?

Oh, you mean Richard Littlejon then!

[Suairyu]

Office is so empty. Just a few try-hards like me still in. I wonder how late I'm actually allowed to stay. I mean, I'll probably have to go home at some point to shower before the people arrive in the morning.

Oh, you mean Richard Littlejon then!

Not Little Richard?

[Xun]

What do you even do?

No you're doing it all wrong, you wear your stink like a badge of honour. That way when people do arrive in the morning you apologise for smelling and explain that you've been working all night, then they feel really guilty, as they should. Revel in your repulsive odour, delight in your disgusting stench, and inflict it on as many others as possible.

[Chinner]

thats it im fed of your guys im quitting ukgaf for about an hour while i go for a run.

[f0rk]

Don't get in any fights in toilets.

[Suairyu]

So... great. the other person who works for me was meant to pull overtime, too. She stayed a total of 30 minutes later. Ugh. Going to go in early tomorrow, then see about if I can do anything like coming in over the weekend.

What do you even do?

I'm a production assistant for a television studio. Bottom of the run at the moment so it's almost exclusively transcribing.

[Suairyu]

Oh man Chinner check out this bad boy.

He looks so dangerous. I feel like I could change him...

[Musha_Soturi]

Good morning UK Gaffers and a happy Friday to you all!

So the black cloud that has been hanging over me for so long I feel is finally starting to lift. I handed my notice in yesterday, I only have to put up with 4 more weeks here (not even that due to bank holidays and holidays).

I have a hen night tomorrow, and another next Friday. I'm seeing my favourite band in just over a week, and the Fort William trip coming up soon.

Life is good my friends, and I'm so glad that I'm finally starting to feel this way again.

Oh that's great news. Did you get a new job then? I've not been reading this thread as closely as I should have recently!

I'm feeling that Good Life feel too. Got my new job, feeling like the man, kicking ass, taking names. It's gonna feel even better when I get the godamn money shower at the end of the month that is my new paycheck!

And what's you're favourite band called? I saw my favourite band, Slow Club in Guildford last week, was absolutely amazing. Seeing bands is cool, but seeing your FAVOURITE band is the shit.
