Coconut butter?
Nah. Shea butter is where it's at. Coconut butter just makes you smell like a Bounty.

I do not have a 'going to bed routine' because I am not 5 years old. I wait until tiredness happens, clean my face and teeth and then get in to bed and fall asleep. As for munchies - yes, sometimes. Can't sleep on a very full stomach though.

rarely
if I do it'd probably be bread and peanut butter

alt: usually, have a spliff, read my book, get in bed, put on mask, fail to sleep

alt alt: depends on the history as to whether it is acceptable at all. I'd give it a while though probably. Unless you are drunk when about a month is probably acceptable.

Double alt Q:
your mates should be more important to you than getting your dick wet. Basically, if you think it might bother them in even the slightest way, don't do it. Personally I think it's bloody rude and if I was going to do it I would probably wait until the ex is with someone else or all parties have very definitely moved on.

in summary, I'd been mates with her for 4 years at uni (on same course)
the final 2 and a half I had been with and was living with my gf of the time.
Got towards the end of uni, we were on a field trip to Barcelona, both kind of realised that in a couple of months we wouldn't see each other any more and didn't really like the thought of that.
I didn't want to dump my gf right before her finals and during her dissertation, so basically said I needed to sort my head out. Stopped smoking gear, distanced myself from our mutual friends somewhat, got my head down and studied. Meanwhile not getting up to anything with either of the girls.
Once exams are done with I break it off, get together with the current other half, and things have since been awesome.

I've not been consistently truly bad, but the worst thing I've done is dreadful, horrendous and waaaaay too long to recount on here
It's basically 3 years of mental and 2 years of attempted atonement that made shit worse.

I'm a firm believer of "I want the person I like to be happy"- it's often evident that they're not going to be happy with me, so I try to encourage them (if I'm still friendly) to make themselves happy. This sounds very emo and self-indulgent, but hey. I do my best to be a nice person and after the dreadful thing mentioned before I think I've got a lot to make up.

Too kind.
But I'm not fishing for compliments.

When you chat to someone in a club, who, clearly looks older than they are, and they say 'I'm 23' all I can think if, 'Fuck me, I probably delivered a paper to your pregnant mother'.

I didn't think you were
nor would I say it just to placate you. If I didn't think that, I wouldn't say it.
I'd worry more about the women you're chatting up, if they're only 23 but look well haggard. And besides, if you actually meet someone you like who's younger, does it really matter if there's an age gap?

You horrible woman.
You manage to reassure Lampy she doesn't look 30, and now you're saying she doesn't look 40.

What are you saying? She looks FIFTY?

Mind you, that was taken nearly 10 years ago and I don't have a beard.

That said, Beekers looks like a Mexican rapist on his, it's fucking hilarious.

I'm better!
I M'dTFU and went to work today, I wrote an article and a guest article, and I got dressed. Today has been a GOOD DAY.

Apart from now, I'm stuck in my room so I don't have to hear BBC 6 music, the wretched heap of pretentious drivel that it is.

How you?

One article on why minimum pricing for alcohol is stupid
(May have been put more eloquently)

And the guest post was about the positive aspects of Facebook as part of a Twitter v Facebook post someone was doing (I know, I ought to be crucified, hanging's too good for the likes of me, etc).

I had a generic e-mail from Facebook today.
I've not logged in for ages, months.

Apparently I've got 49 messages waiting for me and 9 friend requests, as well as 219 notifications.

Fucked if I can be arsed looking at that lot.

This was just because he wanted someone to balance all the FB hate. I don't think it's that bloody good, but it has it's uses, so I was just being fair. Plus, I had nothing else to do.

I've got a question.
Why are tins of food, such as Baked Beans cylindrical? Surely they'd be easier to transport, stack and store in your own cupboards if they were made with 90-degree corners?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 19 Jan 2011, 0:24, Reply)

It's easier to fold a piece of metal in to a circle and weld it
than it is to give it corners.
(berk, Wed 19 Jan 2011, 0:26, Reply)

But surely.
With modern technology it should make no difference? The benefits to all would be huge. Transport, the retailer and the consumer?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 19 Jan 2011, 0:27, Reply)

Possibly they haven't thought of this idea
Because they're busy making and shipping shit instead of being bored on the internet in the wee small hours?

Maybe.
Do you think I should invest the square tin company and go on Dragons' Den?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 19 Jan 2011, 0:34, Reply)

It would cost more to make square tins
which you'd have to pass on to the consumer to maintain your profit margins. The consumer would not stand for this and continue to buy round tinned stuff, thus leaving your square tinned company right up the shitter.
(berk, Wed 19 Jan 2011, 0:33, Reply)

But if you consider the cost of transportation and retail storage space.
That cost should be a met factor before the final consumer parts with his or her cash?
( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Wed 19 Jan 2011, 0:36, Reply)

EDIT - can you imagine drinking cider or lager out of a square tin? It's just not ergonomically friendly.
