Posted November 30, 2011 I don't feel like writing it again, so I will put in the conversation I had with Supergrunch about this. [00:22] <Diageo> My mam was moaning at me for wasting mymoney on Skyward Sword and now walks in telling me about her 60 pound watch she's buying.[00:23] <@Supergrunch> well by the sounds of it she does have more disposable income :p [00:23] <Diageo> Don't you take her side. [00:23] <@Supergrunch> :p [00:24] <@Supergrunch> you were the one complaining you only had 40 euros for the month [00:25] <Diageo> To add insult to injury. The watch she currently has was given to her by me as a present. [00:25] <@Supergrunch> lol at that [00:27] <Diageo> Apparently, a man's watch is not good enough for her. [00:27] <@Supergrunch> lol [00:29] <Diageo> Her friend's daughter points at the watch and says "Daddy" every time she sees her. [00:29] <@Supergrunch> lol [00:29] <@Supergrunch> clearly you know how to please women [00:29] <Diageo> This is why I don't buy presents. [00:30] <Diageo> And luckily enough, now I can't. [00:30] <@Supergrunch> there you go [00:30] <Diageo> My silver lining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 1, 2011 The typical western view is that the behaviour tells us something about what kind of person that person is, and the eastern view looks at it from what brought the person to do this. I haven't actually looked at the study directly and so I'm trusting what my lecturer said, but can look for it if necessary. Interesting, but doesn't seem to reflect the stigma on suicide/mental health in the East (maybe that's an exception). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 1, 2011 I got an umbrella from a client at work. I told people "I bet I'd make loads of money selling it at a car boot" and they all thought I meant I'd sold it at a car boot, then I replied and stuff and later realised tehy now think I've actually sold the umbrella. It was raining shitloads this morning and I consciously thought "I can't take the umbrellla, they'll think I lied!!" ... So I got utterly soaked instead.

Posted December 1, 2011 I think that if they see him with the umbrella he'll lose his street cred and reputation as a bad boy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 1, 2011 I don't even know. It's bad stuff because I was soaked. I was soaked because I'm ashamed to use a brolly. I'm ashamed because I misheard 'them' after they misheard me. I mishear things because I'm hard of hearing, but after realising what was said I'd basically turn up dry but a liar. It's one of those silly circles of silly. Yeah I appreciate, this thread isn't for silly passing comments anymore. I apologise! I'll keep my idiosyncratic oddities to the... er... football thread? I had a bad day because I was wet because of my own stupid inability to cope with what others think of me. As well as the job itself, of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 1, 2011 I'm pretty surprised something like that would bother you. It's a bit crap you got soaked though, make sure you don't get a cold! This week has been a bit sucky, odd shifts have meant I've been pretty tired and since my graduation I've been missing my mates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 1, 2011 Yeah, you're right. It doesn't really bother me! I just wanted to post a 'bad stuff' thing in this thread and that was all I could think of for today. Sorry to everyone for not meeting the bar! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 1, 2011 I didn't mean to offend you or anything, jay. I hadn't considered your hearing difficulties, but when you put it like that I think I understand your pattern of thought. It wasn't that this thread isn't for small things, either! Heaven knows there are too many big bad things in here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2011 I seem to be getting some hearing issues, in busy environments I can hear next to nothing, and it doesn't help when my sister talks away from me and yaps the face aff me when I don't hear... perhaps I've been lip reading for longer than I'd like to admit... :/ I went to the doctor today and got the official diagnosis of raynauds syndrome... and a box of heart pills to take...i'm starting to count the things that AREN'T wrong with me now XD Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2011 Maybe your ears are fine, it's just your brain trying to ignore stuff. I've found out I can no longer hear the flat of annoying slags next door. They talk, I think, but I just hear the sound of air swooshing around the place. The brain is amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 2, 2011 Been battling with a sore throat/cold-like symptoms since Monday Seems to be going around though as several people at Uni have something similar and there have been a lot of coughs and sneezes on the bus to uni the last couple of days. Has made going to sleep at nights a bit of an issue though as the throat seems to play up a bit when I lie down causing me to cough and splutter all over the place. Hopefully it goes away by Monday because I've got my last class of the semester and immediately afterwards, I have to run a pilot experiment for my dissertation and only 3 people have agreed to take part so far even though it'll only last 10 minutes and they'll get sweets afterwards (got one of those big tins of Celebrations to hand around) I hate having to do a psycholinguistic dissertation. But then, it's not 'ethical' to look at subliminal imaging or implanting memories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted December 2, 2011 Mmmm weekend! Finally, after 5 days of inglorious and thankless work I get a weeke--- waiiiit! I've got a 12 hours shift tomorrow starting at 9am at my other job. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sorry to everyone for not meeting the bar! It wasn't designed to be offensive, it just seemed rather odd behaviour for you. Anyway, my back is killing me, what with crappy chairs at work and at home, I am really struggling this week. Need to go see a specialist about it soon, that and my legs.

Posted December 4, 2011 Got paid last week and just realised now that with rent, bike and phone money gone and the money I lent my mother I've already spent all of it. Maybe I will have to wait to do all my Christmas shopping until the 23rd. That's a bit of a bugger. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted December 4, 2011 Noise at 3am next door last night, so I had to use my fancy noise-cancelling earphones and listen to music I didn't want to listen to until I fell asleep. Resulting in waking up late, and having hung up on all of my dad's calls because the alarm tone on my phone is the same as the ringtone (that's just idiocy on my part though). I never want to live near students again. EVER. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
