Ideally your job hunt should begin while you're at uni. I made the mistake of not looking for work while I was at uni and now I'm fucking nowhere.

Well, been hunting for the past couple months and done a few string of internships, so I'm a bit better off than some peers, but yeah, I'm going to need a lottttt of luck after I graduate ha.

for the record imho, (pear) ciders are godlike in the summer sun, followed by regular cider on par with beers. Fancy a Gaymers right now tbh.

Tesco Sushi is real sushi.

Improved rice and shit, and the little fish.

 

[Hot Coldman]

pfft, all you baka people buying gaijin katsu. I only go to independednt japanese restaurants that know the traditions and hard work involved in the art of the katsu

you guys will never get it, you haven't experienced real japanese culture~~

Your resistance, etc

Tesco just shot themselves in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Tesco culture (I'm an expert), but honor and low prices are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by large corporate monopolies. If you screw someone over in the UK, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is price comparison wars.

What this means is the UK public, after hearing about this, is not going to want to purchase sushi from Tesco, nor will they purchase anything from Tesco Express. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Tesco has alienated an entire market with this move.

Tesco, publicly apologize and cancel your sushi rollout or you can kiss your business goodbye.

What the fuck is that thing and where is its nose?

I don't think I understand anime (outside of Initial D).

I once saw this chick grow her clit into a penis and then she banged another chick. Does that help? I think they were in a school or library. They had big, sparkly eyes and there was much more inane dialogue than necessary.

I miss when La Blue Girl was really kinky, erotic shit.

It's so tame by my standards these days. I dislike that.

 

[blahblah...blah]

Can we keep all this creepy Japanese-obsessed / anime shit out of this thread? It's bad enough that there's a "big ass superior thread of learning Japanese" (yeah, you're so superior because you can read the manga collection which fills your basement bedroom in its native language, and understand what the schoolgirls in JAV are saying while they get tentacle-raped), but now we need to have words such as 'waifu' in here too?

because we're obviously being serious and not taking the piss

I'm not claiming that, just saying the entire thing is weird. Why not discuss fast food like we always seem to in this thread?

It'll get back round to "HAD A REET NICE BEVVY" or some such soon enough. ;P

Dude you sound really insecure or something.

It's been 20+ degrees this afternoon, and I've been inside reading up on econometrics.
Tomorrow I shall venture out!

Yup, that's anime.

Damn straight

Perhaps I did misread the seriousness of the comments. I just get pretty freaked out by some of the things I see on this website overall, and this thread is usually a beacon of light haha

Dude you sound really insecure or something.

How so?

just been scratched two times by the cat. now I know the tough world

Waiting for tea to cool, in fact.

 

[Nevasleep]

Need my old job back, why'd I become a student again after being a postie.
I enjoy learning, but pointless report writing be damned....and with my A-levels I should be at a far better university.

Just want to be outside, delivering sex toys, wearing my shorts, headphones on, bit of banter, and getting paid, hmmmm.

Dude you sound really insecure or something.

 

[Meadows]

I haven't decided whether the word "bants" - a shortened form of banter, is the worst thing ever or the best thing ever.

Worst.

Use persiflage or raillery.

I haven't decided whether the word "bants" - a shortened form of banter, is the worst thing ever or the best thing ever.

It totes isn't.

 

[Meadows]

Worst.

but I think it's meta ironic, like the kind of thing J Tourettes would say casually while sipping a pint of Red Stripe down at some shite East London micro brewery ("craft brewery")

At the risk of sounding like all I do is moan, it's definitely bad if not used ironically, which a surprising number of people do! I actually still think it's better than saying 'banter' after a bit of banter is worse than saying 'bants' though.

 

[Nevasleep]

Blates it is, perhaps.

Never heard someone use it. The first person I do hear use it gets a slap.

How so?

It's a gaming community. On the internet. The anime overlap is huge. It's going to spill into this thread from time to time and that's perfectly fine. It will never be the focal point of this thread, but we have a really nice "talk about whatever so long as every tenth post is about the UK" vibe going here and I'd like to keep it.

As for the "superior" thread for learning Japanese - "superior" describes the thread itself, as in "this thread is the superior thread for the purposes of learning Japanese", not "if you read the manga in Japanese and write a fan-letter to the manga-ka using proper kanji you are superior".

Your almost violent reaction about us having a joke about hentai, as spawned by a discussion on a British restaurant chain and Meadow's non-white girlfriend, just seem really insecure or something I dunno.

 

[Salazar]

Good gangster (ropiest looking bloke ever) and quasi-undercover-police interaction today. Unexpected here.

Turns round and spits on the ground and yells watchoo want. I think he's talking to me, but it turns out there are two gigantic slabs of policeman, cords hanging from ears, behind me. He says they are cunts and that it is harassment. They tell him he's a toerag. He mockingly invites them to follow him some more. They say they don't have to, cos they have cameras everywhere. He has no comeback.

Was brief street theatre.

 

[RibbedHero]

Guys, is this kentpaul?

So I can talk about how I find this stuff a little disturbing then, presumably?

As for the "superior" thread for learning Japanese - "superior" describes the thread itself, as in "this thread is the superior thread for the purposes of learning Japanese", not "if you read the manga in Japanese and write a fan-letter to the manga-ka using proper kanji you are superior".

I apologise, I've never actually looked at the thread so I assumed it meant something different to that. I take back the stuff about that thread.

Your almost violent reaction about us having a joke about hentai, as spawned by a discussion on a British restaurant chain and Meadow's non-white girlfriend, just seem really insecure or something I dunno.

Violent definitely seems an unfair word to use, and I certainly hope that it was clear that my post was at least partly light-hearted (sarcastic stereotypes, mock outrage, etc.) I'm not claiming I wasn't partly serious (I was, and I do find some elements of the whole culture a little disturbing) but I don't think my reaction was violent, and I'm certainly not insecure.

Anyway, it seems that I've derailed this thread, so I apologise!

 

[Kentpaul]

Fuck anime. I stopped watching cartoons when I was 12 years old.

 

[Suairyu]

I swear I don't know why I never used to like Ginger Beer. Absolutely hated the stuff until about two years ago, then suddenly it clicked.

This gorgeous weather is made for some ginger beer over ice.

[Long post]

Anyway, it seems that I've derailed this thread, so I apologise!

Okay I'm calling bullshit on this. Were you a real Brit you'd have just told me to stop being a psychoanalytical cunt and mentioned how much beer you're knocking back right now.

Fuck anime. I stopped watching cartoons when I was 12 years old.

... does that mean you never got old enough to properly enjoy Dexter's Lab, Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack and Home Movies? Because those are secretly shows for adults masquerading as kids cartoons.

Also Akira is pretty cool if you want to rock your post-12-year-old world. There are boobs and blood in it.

 

[Meadows]

This thread is such good bants guys

 

[Suairyu]

Outside. Now.

 

[Kentpaul]

I loved dexter as a kid. My cartoon hating is a little invalid because I enjoy the Simpson (up season 8) and south park.

[Sage00]

What's even the dealio in here?

 

[Kentpaul]

Also guys it's creepy for a fully grown man to watch and enjoy Powerpuff girls.

 

[Suairyu]

Guys, is this kentpaul?

Oh man.

The driver is obviously an idiot, but then so is whoever made those shelves if they all fall over so easy.

Also guys it's creepy for a fully grown man to watch and enjoy Powerpuff girls.

Hell to the no. It's great. Seriously, watch a couple of episodes on YouTube, they're only 11 minutes long each. You'll laugh. Such a damn stylish and witty show.

 

[blahblah...blah]

Archer is a cartoon and it's among the best shows currently on TV.

 

[Sage00]

Also guys it's creepy for a fully grown man to watch and enjoy Powerpuff girls.

Man, I remember an episode where there was a magician that died and then came back to life as "Abra Cadaver". Terrifying shit.

 

[Little Old Man]

My mates dad is going crazy again on Facebook:

Why does everyone assume we would a one party state if we had a revolution. If we do have a revolution then we can can ditch political parties, and create a society on real socialist values that put ordinary people at the heart of the society. I maybe a Labour Party supporter but I am quite willing to see the the end of this along with the rest. Cameron et al would then be put on trial for effective war crimes against his own people.

Lol wut?
I think I'd be upset if he made his account private, gives me far too many laughs.

And hentai? Can't beat a few laughs about tentacle rape, it is an inside joke with some of my mates.

 

[Kentpaul]

Don't compare me to an idiot guys. I lead a safety first mind set at work, ain't had more than a paper cut in my entire janitor career. I take my work very seriously and enjoy making my stack of 20 quid notes every 14 days.
