Yup, Audiosurf is pretty fucking awesome. I'd call it the love child of Tetris and Guitar Hero. And you should try Through The Fire and Flames on it :D

@ liveinabin: I feel your pain. My mother is paying a visit on the 30th as it's my birthday and she has thoughtfully decided to bring my psychotic grandmother with her. Wah :(

I am seriously considering just becoming a whore. I get the feeling that in the current financial climate thousands of merchant bankers will be looking for a bit of sexehtiem.

I have no savings, rent and bills that need to be paid and am currently looking at no income whatsoever. I am somewhat disheartened.

Worse case scenario is that I am going to have to sell my Marina and move back home which I really don't want to do :(

@ liveinabin
Mine are 300 miles away for an equally good reason. My dad's not coming because he's still furious with me for Living In Sin and not being in the mother country, which frankly I feel is getting old now.

Particularly my granny, whose favourite pastime is looking me up and down and going "you have GOT TO lose some WEIGHT!". I suppose getting the corset out the day she arrives will make Mr Maladicta happy at least...

Hey Dok. What made you laugh?
GB, look at it this way. You have been working. You have paid tax and NI. You are entitled to some of it back.
There are children I teach who have no intention of ever working, and I doubt they will.
Unemployment benefit was put there to help people in times of hardship. Not the lifestyle choice it has now become.

Sign on, and hold your head up high, you are entitled to the money!

@Mal
I have the same problem with mother.
Put simply she is anorexic. However because she is an adult, and a bloody minded one at that (she was banned from Fortnum and Mason for being s difficult customer), no one has ever done anything about it.

Now I am overweight, but she keeps on at me about it. ALL THE FUCKING TIME.
When we went to Japan she said she would give me £50 as spending money if I would lose a stone before we went.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Mon 17 Nov 2008, 22:54, Reply)

@ liveinabin
My nan once pushed £50 at me over the table in Debenhams' café in Cardiff and told me to join the gym with it. She now likes to ask me every time I even look at anything more fattening than celery "should you be having that, me dear?" and then starts on about "now you're going to be good and join the gym aren't you?" No, granny. Fuck off.

I spent the £50 on shoes just to annoy her :D

I get the feeling that if she starts on me on my birthday, Mr Maladicta will jump in there before I do, because he knows how badly I'm dreading it...
( Maladicta, Mon 17 Nov 2008, 22:58, Reply)

The good thing is
that they are both mental.
This means that they don't stay with us, they check into a hotel.
They will come to our house for a cup of tea, father will read the paper, mother will check I have cleaned under the bed.
Then they will go back to their hotel room.
We will then go out for dinner.
They will go back to their hotel room and then go home the next morning.

They are only in our house for 20 minutes so why do I have to clean the bastard?
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Mon 17 Nov 2008, 23:03, Reply)

^ This sounds so, so familiar.
They turn up, complain about how "scummy" where I'm living is, no matter how nice it is, tell me off for dyeing my hair, tell me off for not being size six, and then take me out to dinner whether I want to go or not.

I then have to "show granny" every single little thing I own, from my work pass to my clothes to my laptop so she can say it's all "very nice" in the most uninterested way imaginable.
( Maladicta, Mon 17 Nov 2008, 23:05, Reply)

What really fucks me off
is that it's the only time I ever get to go out for dinner and I can't have a cocking dessert.

Do you remember a couple of years ago there was an advert for a car where a couple and the wife's mother went out for dinner? All the while the mother bitched about the flowers not being fresh and the glasses not being crystal.
That is mother.
But rather that bitching about a restaurant it's me.

And she thinks I'm to old to have children at 33.
( Mrs Entity is in hiding., Mon 17 Nov 2008, 23:09, Reply)

^ Same here.
Mr Maladicta and I are in no position to afford to go out for dinner at the moment, and there's a fair chance he's going to be working (he's thrilled about meeting them, as you may imagine) I'm not going to enjoy the "girly day" at all... so much cleaning involved. I'm not going to have dessert, and as I know they want to take me to Pizza Express or somewhere this is going to be hell on earth.

On another note, Stalker Girl skived off work for six weeks to have An Operation On Her Mimsy and has only just returned to a big fuckoff bunch of flowers and a card. I did enjoy the six weeks she wasn't around, and I do think anything that stops her from talking about her ladygarden to anyone is for the good of humanity, but I really wish she'd stayed off a bit longer. I was just starting to get used to it.
