Yeah alright fuck you
Tomorrow is Thanksgiving and I have a day off so woo to me.
What the fuck are you thankful for?
I'm thankful for my family.

Alt: What are you not thankful for?
I am not thankful for credit checks and cunts that mooch off the system for food stamps to buy things like steak and ribs.
You're on welfare bitch, buy hot dogs and hamburger helper.

I'm thankful
for, after a lot of trying, finally having a good man looking after me.

I'm not thankful for having had to try so hard and meeting so much crap.

I'm thankful for my parents too, despite hating them sometimes, and for having been born where I was, with enough money to live, and have an education and now a good job.

In fact, I have a massive sense of entitlement and feel that I haven't got all that I'm owed yet.

how did you win it? Or is "win" an american term for "steal"?
(I helped save b3ta! Colonel Dracula Two manky hookers and a racist dwarf, Wed 24 Nov 2010, 15:31, Reply)
it was less of a win and more of an earn
here we have "bonus buys" and you get bonus points for buying certain things and after 300 points you get a certificate for a free turkey under 20lbs.
They were all 12 pounds and I was majorly disappointed because of this which is stupid, I don't fucking like turkey and the leftovers will likely go in the bin.

I'm thankful
That work have finally realised nobody is at any of our sites on Christmas and New Years Eve and have given us the afternoons off for free, meaning I get to spend it in the pub! I'm also thankful for our "wonderful" Royal wedding which allows me 11 days off for 3 days holiday

I am quite entertained by the lunchtime student protests in Newcastle at the Monument where 50 or so student have about 150 police to watch them, complete with helicopter, police photographers, screaming police cars, etc. No overkill there, no sirree bob.

No, I did ok.
It was my first post on here, I gave someone I erally liked a blowjob on said trampoline*, and at the end of it he looked down at me and said "Well done, [name]. Don't mean to sound patronising, but well done". The last time I sucked off the ex he did it to me too.
Either I'm decent or they feel sorry for me.

(I helped save b3ta! Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Wed 24 Nov 2010, 15:23, Reply)
That should have seen him heading downstairs rather faster than he expected.
Then you could primly descend, maybe with a few choice tramplings on the way past. He'd look up at you as you paused at the door, and just as he begins to form the word "why?" you'd cut him off, wink and depart with "Of course, I was never here."

I'm not thankful that American “beer” Budweiser is the biggest selling beer in the world and the last two times I was in Ireland, it was very visibly present in every pub I went to.

(It’s funny though when rednecks drink their Bud and say they wouldn’t drink anything but an American beer made by an American company when Bud is owned by a Belgian company. The same with Wild Turkey the “American” bourbon now owned by Campari and until recently owned by the French Pernod- Ricard)

Budweiser was originally a style of lager rather than a brand, from the Czech town of Budweis.
The Americans made their own version and registered the name.

You can still get Czech Budweiser - Budvar and the dark lager is quite good.

You can actually get Budvar in the US now but they
have to call it Czechvar because Budvar is too close to Bud which has trademarked the name in the US.

It's not bad here but not as good as I got in Austria years ago. (I've never had the dark lager and didn't even know they made it).

We're fortunate that there's a one really good pub nearby that, as well as having a good, ever changing,
selection of "real" cask ales, also has glass fronted chiller room with a selection bottled beers from around the world. There is a menu on the bar but it is a menu of beers rather than food.
I happened to see the dark lager in there and was intrigued (I don't normally drink lager at all). It's worth trying should you come across it. It's unmistakably lager, but with depth and body.

I might get one
because right now I could really do with a lottery win

I would get one
however I probably don't have £2 to spare until Monday...

bugger
want me to get you one?

but if you did that and she won you'd want to bludgeon her to death

I'm quite laid back
and she doesn't get the ticket until after the draw

But seriously, get one on the same ticket as me and we can split it if we win. I don't 'do' the lottery anyway so it'll hardly mess me up

Haha, no it's fine
I wouldn't say no to a holiday if you do win, though...

I am thankful that I get to see lots of lovely people over the next week that I haven't seen in a long time. I am not thankful that I have about three pence and a fluffy mint in my purse to do so.

Plus, bash in 2 weeks?

If the three pence and a fluffy mint magically turns into some proper money, and I can find a place to stay, and take the weekend off work, yes!

I think the Fluffy Mint is quite strong against the Thai Baht at the moment.

Well that's good
I was worried I was going to have to resort to scrounging off my parents.

Yeah, that might work better, actually.

You haven't met my parents...
Plus, imagine that conversation: "Heyyyy Dad! How are you? So, I was wondering - can I borrow some money to go meet strangers off the interwebz?"

Just tell them you need money for an abortion.
Less worrying for them.

You might owe me a new set of lungs
I've just inhaled half my water, before coughing it back up. Ow.

well
I was just going to spend all the money I had saved to buy xmas presents and then borrow the money off them. But your idea has its merits.

Tell them it's a discussion website, that's how I describe it to mine!

This only solves one problem though, I still have nowhere to crash and have to persuade people at work to cover for me.

I'm due to be staying in the area with friends, if necessary I can see if they've got a spare couch?

(I helped save b3ta! Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 24 Nov 2010, 15:59, Reply)

Yeah, that might be necessary
(BelladonnaAnodyne Melissa's gonna wet herself, I swear..., Wed 24 Nov 2010, 16:00, Reply)
I'm seeing them this weekend, I can ask, and let you know over facebook?

(I helped save b3ta! Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 24 Nov 2010, 16:01, Reply)

Yeah that sounds good. Fuck it, I'm just gonna order my coach tickets now and sort out trivial details like not being fired and having somewhere to sleep later.

Booked and booked. I look forward to meeting you all next weekend. I'm going to apologise in advance for anything stupid I do.

Don't worry, we've all done stupid things at bashes
BK bought non-alcoholic Beer.
BGB fell over and landed on me.
Lampito punches people.
etc etc
(I helped save b3ta! Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Wed 24 Nov 2010, 16:18, Reply)

Ah yes, I will fall over at some point. That's more due to being a bit crap at standing up though. Honest.

Can't be as bad at it as piston_broke, surely?

I don't know.
All I will say is that my knees are often so mangled up they look like those of a four year old.

Don't worry, that was a reference to someone here giving stand up a go, and failing miserably
Fair play to him, he gave it a shot, I wouldn't.

Now we're getting somewhere.
"I've got the opportunity to widen my social circle by meeting up with people from the "debating society".

"We discuss current issues, recipes, kittums and religion"
"What was the 3rd one again?"
"Erm...Religion?"
