BritGAF |OT4| - "Our Only Goal In Life Is To Become As Alpha As Possible"

Rubbish King

The gift that keeps on giving
Imagine you invited us back to your home on the Devonshire Moors to meet your local, offline, friends. We (that's us GAF folk) get chatting with them and one of us asks "did you become friends with Tash because of a shared love for Reddit?" only to get the response "he goes on Reddit!? But such a thing is looked down upon on these here Moors!" So by complete accident we let slip your dark secret leading to your total banishment from Devon. So that is why I think keeping GAF folk away from the other folk you know is probably a good idea.
Most I wouldn't mind, I can think of maybe one who I would certainly not want to talk to offline people
Hey guys what's going on in this thread....

Oh.

I really like Tangled, Frozen and The Shawshank Redemption.
Congratulations on not being a total monster

Maturity, bitches.
Do you guys really separate GAF from life in such a major way?
All my friends know of GAF/have met GAF friends.
Well honestly in my case it is if no one asks I'm not likely to say (less out fear of scaring them and more out of fear of boring them). Also that post was pretty exaggerated. Life in the countryside isn't quite like that.

I think the record will be out mid march, we just need the vinyl pressing. Also working on new t-shirts and perhaps an acoustic thing for pre orders. A single will prob be released soonish. Just wanna get our ducks in a row, last time we released with no hype and it disappears rather quickly! Rest assured I'll pimp :)

Also do you have a smartphone? You need to get in the whatsapp for Sniv's adventures in old people cams.

You doing an "album launch"? You totally should.

Yeah I am. I'll see if I can afford Whatsapp. Although the missus thinks I'm spending too much time on here as it is!

You're in luck, wrinkly shit-dipped testicles are like Jedeye catnip.

My testies are clean. Relatively speaking. He'd have to at least buy me a shake before I went down that road.

Did you see my post?
I did, yeah, but it's not as simple as just letting go and moving on. She was a huge part of my life and still is. As for destroying their family, the guy she's with now destroyed ours, so why should I show any sort of respect towards him? I know that sounds childish but...ugh, I don't know what I'm supposed to fudging do. On the one hand, I don't want to say anything out of respect for her and the family she loves but, on the other hand, I can't just keep these feelings bottled up. It's going to drive me insane. I've tried moving on - and I've had many chances to with several girls - but I just can't do it. In the end, it always comes back to her. Anna-Lily and her are the only two girls I want in my life.

oh dear, whatsapp has the ability to consume massive chunks of your life, I'll tell you that much. Especially after midnight

All my friends know of GAF/have met GAF friends.

I used to separate online life and such from my life, but after a while I just decided to let them merge a bit. The major change between me online and offline is that I'm a lot less nervous online, I tend to trip over my words way too much. Although I do worry (for lack of any other word) more about how people react to what I say online because the time spent waiting for a reply (if it's something serious) is usually spent worrying about what the reaction(s) will be.

You always regret the things you didn't do in life more than you regret things you did.

Definitely. To be honest, I don't regret not going to University back in 2010 (not like I had a choice with the issues I had at the time) because the people I met whilst still in Devon are some of the best friends I had, plus a few other things that I'm not willing to share at the moment. Although there is one thing I regret but it's Monday and I don't want to get all depressing so that'll come when I feel ok with telling the story.

My idea of Hell would be going back through my life with everyone I know and love watching from behind my eyes, commenting on and rewinding all the stupid/terrible/awful things I've done, whilst a nurse injects firey spider eggs into my testies which hatch and slowly eat me from the inside out; all the while a fat man teabags me with his space hopper sized balls which have been dipped in runny shit.

I have no idea how to respond to this so I'll just nod my head and say good for you.
 
Are you bi? I remember reading something on this thread a while back.

I don't like labels. I am attracted to women, but I haven't explored that part of me as much as I would have liked to.

I think our Musha is a bit omni :)

I don't know what that means

I understand you feel no compassion towards him, but it's about showing respect for your ex and her wishes. As long as she is happy there is nothing you can do.

Trust me when I say I know how hard it is to let someone go when you still love them. I never said it would be simple, doing the right thing rarely is. But no matter what you want, she has to want it too for it to ever stand a chance of working. If you think there may still be a chance she's not entirely happy with this guy, and you feel like you can cope with breaking up their family then by all means go ahead and tell her how you feel.

But just be aware that if she doesn't feel the same it could make things awkward between you, and the rejection could cause you even more pain.

It is possible to move on, but it takes time and patience, and you have to accept and want to.

Come one dude, it's exactly that simple, it just requires some courage and integrity.

Didn't you choose to leave them? Why is that his fault? And as the current guardian of your daughter, I'd say yes, he is entitled to at least a modicum of respect, for her sake if nothing else.

That's another thing, I'm not sure if I could handle being rejected by her. She means that much to me, and it would just make visiting my little girl awkward too and uncomfortable and I don't want that either. Ugh, fuck sake, why do I have to care so much!?

There's a whole other story as to why I 'chose to leave them' and, as open as I usually am with BritGAF, that's not something I want to go in to on here. And he's not the current guardian by a long shot. He doesn't live with my ex or his child, nor my daughter. Her sole guardian is her mother.

She's asleep by then. ;)

I normally don't wade into these sorts of discussions because I'm a) emotionally retarded and b) prefer to avoid any discussion on here more serious than "why is Max Payne 3's multiplayer so damn good." I'm gonna jump in with my special brand of Dawson-esque pop psychology regardless.

From your posts, you always sound like you're looking for others to qualify/validate your decisions rather than simply making them yourself. That's a way of deferring responsibility, probably to make yourself feel better in case anything goes wrong. Then, when people tell you things you don't want to hear, you tend to get a bit defensive. I mean, you seem to like the attention either way, but you do tend to go rigid really quickly.

Anyway, as a casual observer I think in many respects you've already made up your mind about this particular matter. You kind of want permission to act on it. I don't think you'll get that here.

Internet friends are just friends in my book.
I have a few 'internet friends' from a forum I used to frequent, as well as a few I got close to on Tumblr. I'm not sure if there's anyone I consider myself close to on here just yet. For the time being, I see you more as acquaintances rather than friends.

Internet friends? I've said it elsewhere, but I've had more fun with you lot in the last year with any of my meatspace friends (apart from the other Gordites). Not only crazy fun nights out, but also shooting the shit in a much more fun, deep and disturbing way than with anyone else I know (apart from my wife funnily enough, we can get wrong together). It's great, bought me a lot of happiness this last year.
 
When I tell people I regularly meet up with people from the internet they find it a bit odd at first, but quite a few of my friends have met some of you and now they know you're (mostly) regular people they don't think it's so weird.

I try not to draw a line between friend and acquaintance. If you immediately treat people like friends then you're more likely to be friends with them.

Unless they're a prick.

Tash surprised me the most at the first meet. I was expecting exactly that, some mad scatty kid, but I had him all wrong. Dude is fucking switched on man, and has a cool, laid back demeanour.

Sorry. I didn't mean to pigeon hole you. Just be you. And as for not exploring, ah well. I feel that way about men but I'm happy and in love and that's more important than what's between a human's legs.

But I haven't said anything remotely defensive. I've thrown up the two options that I consider myself to have; 'man up' and leave it as it is or tell her. Of course, from either of those options come a whole new web of options and possibilities. I'm not looking for anyone to validate or verify my options or whatever, I'm merely looking for advice - which many of you have provided and all of which I am thankful for.

I've just sent a request to be in the audience of Question Time. Has anyone else applied to be the audience of a BBC show? Generally how good are your chances?

Once applied to be an audience member in Top Gear but didn't get anywhere. I think someone I know managed to be in the audience of Have I Got News for You. No harm in applying dude. You never know :)

Well I hope so. If all else fails I have backup plans. Get drunk so I stop worrying and go crazy (and probably flirt with someone... ah crap) or sploatee's idea:

We'll turn up in a helicopter and we can wear combat fatigues.it'll be like the Manics in 94 but 4 REAL.
 
Just saw The Secret Life of Walter Mitty as a late birthday present from the missus. Really uplifting and somewhat inspiring film. Definitely have that urge to go on holiday somewhere now!

Yeah, my girlfriend thought it was a bit weird at first, but now she's met some of you guys she's seen that you're all pretty cool normal people.
