» Unemployed
I work for a big mobile firm that rhymes with Bo Poo....
This week my job is at risk from redundancy, and (although I am sh*ting my pants) I am weighing up the odds.
Potentially I have 7mths wages as a pay out.
I have debts of about half of that I could pay off.
I am interested in learning a trade - this is why I am posting this to my fellow b3tans.
Am I being a fool? Or should I get redeployed into a role I don't want but will pay my mortgage (I have 3 kids also).
Apologies for the lack of punchline.... :-(

Anyone that starts a tale with "I'm not racist but......"
is usually about to say something very racist indeed.

» I don't understand the attraction
Michael McIntyre & Ugg Boots
The former is a smug narcissistic tit who suffers from chubby chinaman laughing face and can't stop laughing at his own inane "observations".
The latter are the most unattractive pieces of footwear ever created. Even worse is the fact they cost about 150quid! Even crocs are sexier, and they're about as sexy as Bella Emberg in a thong.
If I saw Michael McIntyre actually wearing Ugg boots I would implode from sheer disgust.

» Pubs
I was 16 going on 17.....
.....at sixth form college.
There was a student night at a club in Portsmouth that me and my mate decided to go to.
We arrived at Portsmouth station and proceeded to enter the first pub we came across for some "pre-party drinks".
We supped our pints of cider very slowly (as we were only young) and commented on the lack of females in the establishment.
That was because it was a Gay man's pub (about 2 lesbian couples in but that didn't really register at the time). Not that Gay pubs are bad, just when you're 17 and not wanting to appear anything other than hetero of the year it's a bit stressful!
But this was bit a mere prelude to the main event of my tale.
The next pub/bar we dared enter seemed ok. We strolled up to the bar, ordered our beers (no ID required, nice).
Next we notice 2 lads next to us drinking at the bar. One obviously a bit worse for wear, t'other giggling like a freak at his friends pissedness.
What I saw next has stuck with me ever since.
Pissed guy proceeds to bite into his glass, removing about a third from 1 side of it into his mouth.
He then chews the glass so as a crunching sound is heard, followed by the flow of blood from each side of his lips.
It didn't stop.
For ages.
I alert Barman who obviously wasn't expecting this sort of activity.
He runs outside to nearby club and grabs a bouncer who does the obligatory,
What I remember most is the image of his friend, laughing, laughing and laughing at this occurance.
Nothing surprises me now. Unfortunately.
