» Advice from Old People

Dont knock it
My dad - hes not particularly old.. but always and usually inappropriately utters "dont knock it unless you've tried it!"
case A
Brother had lots of accusations of being gay as a teen (based on him having long hair.. i dont understand it either) sat around dinner table and hes protesting that hes not gay.. dad utters those words, with a worrying (to me and my bro) look on his face.
case B
Friend from school died in a motorcycle incident, got home and was telling parents about it mum says "thats awful" and dad says "dont knock it till you've tried it"

not sure about you but dieing in a motorcycle accident isnt high on my list of priorities despite being advised it might be better than i think

» What's the hardest you've tried to get dumped?

All about the Pasta
Before i met my current and potential Mrs Fluffylegend, i had a track record for dating many women.. getting nowhere, and being dumped.
Well the most recent ex changed all that.. Invited me over constantly etc.
anyway onto the gory stuff
4 months down the line, practically living together and its well not for me anymore
So i
a) start seeing someone else
b) meet her - with new girlfriend on arm
c) Tell her its over ( i did that first.. didnt get through)

and the grand finally that meant i never saw her again - well i bump into occassionally but anyways here it is

i told her it could never work because she didnt like pasta

magic - if your ever stuck try it!! (provided s/he doesnt like pasta)

» Being told off as an adult

playing trivial pursuit!
im at my g/fs house playing a friendly game with her family.
As none of you know me as this will be the loss of my posting virginity, i would like to point out im hyper competetive (as well as a bit of a know it all).
Anyway 20 minutes in and its not going well, everyone has 4/5 Cheeses and im stuck on 2, failing to roll onto a Cheese question, and getting a bit pissed off with the questions, as every question i got was along the lines of, "who won the bronze medal in ribbon twirling in the 1824 olympic games?" and my g/f gets "how long in days does the average Mayfly live?".
Final straw, land on the Green cheese, Biology question, no problems, "What colour are a scallops eyes?" wtf??
Anyway it turns out they arent tartan and im now definately gonna lose..
so i thought what better thing to do..

..than throw a lump of cheese at my g/fs face?
its safe to say it wasnt the best idea.. i got called a baby and told to go sit outside.. that showed them!

4 hours on and we are talking again.. although it was hard to keep the dairy products on plates during the rather heated 'Go for Broke' game later

Explosion
It was pancake day, my brother and i (he is 2 years older than me, we were 15 and 17 at the time) had invited lots of friends over for a pancake cooking frenzy. After eating our way through 12 pints worth of mix we decided to have a bonfire, we have an acre and a half of land with an orchard, plenty of firewood.
So there we are stood by this massive fire, yet to be lit and my brother thinks 'this will light easier with petrol' throws a jar of petrol over the fire, walks off, grabs a blow torch...

this is what i saw from where i was stood..
brother approaching big pile of sticks with blow torch.
mushroom shaped explosion
brother running opposite way with trowsers round ankles and smoke rising from his hair..

i was on the floor laughing.. felt a little bad when he had to go to hospital and had his arm in a sling for a few weeks

» School Days

Young Enterprise?
Our secondary school had an attached 6th form..
Which i attended.. in Lower 6th (y12) you had to pick an extra activity to you As levels..
i (god knows why) chose Young Enterprise, where you must make and run a company for a year.. my company (i was MD.. so MY company) had the least ruley people the school had ever seen in it..
Anyway in the first week we decided we would make Tie dye clothing.. and to get some awareness... we would do a Catwalk.. now with the only 2 females in the group being very shy.. it was a male model only catwalk..
in the school gym.. me and 4 of my friends. strutting up and down.. infront of teachers and 10-18 yr old children.. the grand finale.. was just tie dyed boxer shorts.. its all on film.. the staff were not amused by that..
especially as the comentator had a passion for swearing..
i cant believe that over 100 people paid to see me and 4 friends dance around in dresses.
ok maybe i should go see that psychiatrist now..
