I has a laminator! I r old.

[Fierce_LiNk]

After work, I decided to go out and around the town to do a bit of shoppppiiiing (said in the same way that the Pokemon Koffffing says his name)

 

We popped into Wilkinsons and I found the one thing that would make my life easier:

 

 

My words were something like "Fuck yeah! A laminator! Now I can do my laminating at home!"

 

At the exact moment, I knew that I was old. I saw it, and I literally squealed. This is no exaggeration. I fucking squealed like a pig.

 

I remember getting my first bill from British Gas. Or paying my first lot of rent. At those moments, I realised I wasn't a kid anymore.

 

At what points did you realise that had moved on, or that you were old, wrinkly men? Or women, in the case of our special vaginapeople.

[Ashley]

For a second I thought you referred to elderly women as "spaghetti vaginapeople", which may be how I refer to them as in the future.

 

Currently flat hunting (again), which I suppose makes me oldish.

[Dannyboy-the-Dane]

When I turned 19, I realised I only had one year of teenagehood left, which made me somewhat sad. Imagine what a depressive bastard I'll be when I turn 30.

[Eenuh]

I think the moment I started my driving lessons I felt old. Because I sorta am.

 

But apart from that I still live the life of a student who mooches off their parents etc. Sorta. I won't feel old/adultish yet until I have my own place I think. And a proper job.

[Wesley]

I've never had that moment.

 

I hope I never will.

[Fierce_LiNk]

I've never had that moment.

 

I hope I never will.

 

One day, you will get your own laminator.

 

Squeal then, you will.

[Wesley]

I sound kind of weird saying that.

 

What I meant to say was that I hope I always have a bit of Coolness Bears lurking inside of me.

 

Have you tried to laminate anything none paper?

 

My first port of call would be to try and laminate a banana peel.

[Mr_Odwin]

When I look in the mirror and see my hairline. It makes me feel sad. So sad that if I keep thinking about it I start to dwell on my mortality and how it's slipping away so quickly.

Stupid hair.

I did threaten to steal all of my brother's monies after he gloated about a football result earlier today.

 

I'd give him back a laminated five pound note.

Yet you have no trouble saying:

YOU CAN BUY LAMINATORS? WHY DIDN'T ANYONE FUCKING TELL ME?

 

I just coat everything in PVA glue and wait until it dries and goes transparent. Oh man, this is going to make everything so much easier!

[Coolness Bears]

o___O

 

Wesley.

 

If anything my mind regresses each day. I mean I'm now watching Phineas and Ferb and laughing at every episode.

They're a pain to use though. Especially if you're a perfectionist.

Because it's a fucking amazing series!

I imagine that laminators could be useful for arty types of stuff. Like, if you make a special page for a comic that you'd like to keep or something, you could laminate that. Or for a portfolio.

 

Emasher: They're really not a pain. What makes you say that? Seems pretty easy to me. I didn't actually do much to mine. Just place whatever I wanted laminating in the pounch and into the machine. Came out lovely.

 

Saying that, that's with a different machine. I haven't tested mine yet.

[Ashley]

I used one at SCS. They're annoyingly slow.

 

Plus I can't see any use for them personally. My porns not that good that I'd want to use it several times.

[Shorty]

You can still get tangible non-internet porn?

 

 

 

Why?

[Ashley]

Retro is in.

If you're laminating pages about the size of the pouches and can't cut them down after, and have to be within the millimetre in terms of accuracy, they become a pain. I guess if the stuff is smaller you'd be fine.

[nightwolf]

The day I first house-hunted, I hunted with two friends and I have never felt more mature/old and frustrated in my life..partly due to the properties and partly due to the company and lack of common sense.

 

Since then it's generally being pushed into the ''real world'', job hunting, bill paying, scraping a living. Bah humbug.

Ahh, fair play. Yeah, I've mostly been laminating smaller things (like signs for drawers) and then cutting them afterwards.

Only 9 quid.

[Raining_again]

I'm pretty sure they are in tescos as well!

 

I just get the guys at my office to do any laminating I need :P

Haha, office monkeys!

 

We have a laminator at work, too. But, every department has a budget with things like paper, laminator pouches, other materials. It just seems like a lot of hassle.

 

So, this will be used just by me at home, to get my own personal things done. Without having to faff around with budgets and paper work.

haha yes. the fella that works in our office (he's not part of our department or budget) does them for us. He's rather fond of women's breasts, and plays "pocket billiards" so it's pretty easy to convince him to do you a favour

[Supergrunch]

Nose hairs make me feel old.
