Tha bash street kids envelope.....
I was about 10, and had a crush on the cousin of the lad who lived next door to me. She was blonde, gorgeous and a couple of years older than me (at big school) - so out of my league (though I didn't realise this at the time). I decided to ask her out by letter, "hi, / I love you, / will you go out with me?". Fairly standard stuff, but the envelope was something else. I had taken apart a regular envelope, laid it over the middle of my 25p Beano (60p last time i checked!!!) I drew around it, cut it out and stuck it together like a regular envelope. I now had an eye catching Bash Street Kids envelope. I handed it to her and ran away giggling like a girl. She never answered. She stopped going to her cousins after that too.

I saw her when I went to visit a friend a couple of years later (she happened to live around the corner). I decided to pull over (I was on my bike) an say hello. I shouted her name and then mounted the kerb just as she looked around. My front wheel came off and I ploughed straight into the concrete path. She walked off. Laughing.

I forgot about this until the other day when I served her in McDonalds. She didn't know who I was, but seemed quite disturbed that I knew her name. I don't think i'll remind her how she's supposed to know me!

Verdict: Fail

Apologies for length, but I don't think it was that impressive back then.

"Verdict: Fail"

I assume you were referring to the fact that you work in McDonalds?

I thought the working in McDonals's was going to be the joke.
Why would anyone admit to that, on here?!

I worked in McDonalds
Paid my own way through University on account of being working class. What the fuck's wrong with earning a living? I suggest you ask Santa for a special 'getting my head out of my own arse' tool for Christmas this year.

^^This
I worked there for 2 1/2 years, best job I've ever had. Pay wasn't amazing, but I could get as many or as few hours as I liked, and worked with the best people.

Don't just dismiss it off hand if you've never done it.

Hmm
I worked in kfc through sixth form and it gave me a skin allergy.

working class
I'm working class and Mcdonalds is a shit job.

I paid my way through college with a job in a call centre at cable and wireless. Another shit job - but like yours it did the trick.

Lets not confuse work ethic with shit jobs.
