Ouch! lol

Woke up happy, awaiting post man who was due to deliver some new records from Chemical (Please dont jump on a 'I kiss chemicals ass band wagon as soon as someone slates them' please lol).

Opened records.

Actually laughed at how bad the condition on some of them were in.

One skipped every 4 bars (Not their fault)
Two were covered in scuff and finger marks

And the funniest one of all, the sleeve had been ripped from edge to edge all the way down the front to about half way. As if someone had just peeled it open lol. Also covered in scuff marks, and the artwork on the vinyl was all ripped.

This was in such bad condition, I laugh at how the packer didnt notice and still proceeded to post it to me.

A baboon could have packed my order better than that.

My old best mate's fucking slag of a girlfriend is threatening to leave him with their year-old son because she's "bored". She's royally fucked him over in the meantime too - doesn't work, manages to get him to buy her everything (including a yard full of fucking horses), lives for free in the house he owns... between her and her little sister they "owe" him about £2k all in all... fucking sket. She'd better not be about when I go round tomorrow night.

Learnt all her tricks off her mother... she's got 4 or 5 daughters by 3 or 4 different blokes... none of the fathers are anywhere to be seen nowadays because she told them to get lost. Her daughter's just following in Mummy's footsteps.

Still, if a court gave her custody I'd be amazed.... perhaps there's a silver lining.

What are the rules on telling a heartbroken mate that he needs to grow a pair, stab her in the ear and kidnap his son?

Fuck telling him, just do it yourself....could be his early birthday present perhaps?

But yeah, maybe a bit of 'tough love' is in order man. She's deffo taking the piss. You can view things objectively because you don't have any emotional attachment blurring things. So tell him how it is and that's probably the best thing you can do.

It sounds like he wouldn't need to kidnap his son! If it came to it, he'd surely win custody what with being the only parent that can actually provide for him?

BNanni · Post by **BNanni** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 11:47 am

You have to tell him how it is, though if he loves her and is heartbroken there is little chance he is going to really listen.
Just have to be there for him.

That's what I figure too... as far as I see it a court would be absolutely mental not to give him custody. His family are really tight, his brother and his wife have just had a littl'n, his older sister has a couple of lovely girls and his parents are seriously supportive of them all..... whereas nobody in his girlfriend's family even hold down a job.... her mother's* still pushing out kids and racking up the one night stands. The last one was called Breeze.

Honestly... her mother is something else. I guess she's early 40s, but looks a fair bit older... she once spent an entire evening trying to grab my cock whilst I told her to "fuck off". She ended up finding someone willing to satisfy her "needs" and apparently stumbled home later that night and woke up her daugher (my mates girlfriend) exclaiming "SMELL MY BREATH... CAN YOU SMELL COCK?"

Lovely family.

That's the killer one. When I moved to London, he was all set to follow me up... even had a job sorted and was looking for a flat. Then he met the girl and stayed out West with her, then she got pregnant.... apart from his family, I'm the only person he ever really confides in and most of the year I'm about 150 miles away. SUCKS.

Anyway... tomorrow is oldtimes... gonna have a major fuss over the littl'n and then solve all the world's problems the way men should; in the bottom of several pint glasses.

I know how it feels to be away from someone when shit hits the fan.
I live in Gainsborough, and most of my mates are in Surrey. 150 miles away from my mates, and becuase I don't drive it makes it all the worse when things go wrong, because I can't just go down.

But yer, I hope it all goes ok tomorrow!

magma · Post by **magma** » Fri Sep 04, 2009 2:29 pm

Trains are ridiculously inconvenient and expensive sometimes. I can't go to Bristol between 5 and 7 without paying nearly £40 more than usual, so I have to wait until later and possibly miss most of the gig I'm going to tonight because of it.

I FUCKING HATE FIRST GREAT WESTERN.

'hello sir i'm afraid your debit card has been copied, we need to go through some security procedures'

'no it hasn't i'm in italy, please turn my card back on because i need to pay an italian cab driver with whom I am unable to communicate to take me to the airport'

'we need to go through your recent purchase history, your card has been charged at stanstead duty free, Genova airport, you bought a train ticket to milan and a meal at a restaurant there. somebody just tried to take money out of your account at a Genova atm'

'it's august, have you considered I might have gone on holiday? you've tracked me doing it. could it be any more obvious? turn my card back on I need to get to the airport'

'that won't be possible'

'turn my card on it's my money how dare you withhold it from me'

'please confirm your date of birth'

'you called me! who the fuck do you think I am? XX XX 1987'

'I am going to limit your daily withdrawal to £100'

'I don't care turn my card back on'

'please confirm your date of birth'

'just give me my money'

'I am going to limit your daily withdrawal to £100'

'If i miss my plane because of you I am going to expect you to cough up for some crispy hotel and mini bar abuse'

'please confirm your date of birth'

'are you taking the piss?'

'I am going to limit your daily withdrawal to £100'

only round and round and round in gradually stupider circles for far longer. HSBC are fucking shit. the world's local bank!!?? some fucking bitch in bangalore wasted 20 minutes of my time for which I paid excruciating roaming charges and was incapable of doing anything other than read from her script. If my overdraft wasn't so enormous I'd switch banks. RBS? i'm a taxpayer I fucking own 40% of you, do as I say.

fuck the banks, first they crash the world then hassle me when I'm wandering around Genova, stoned, trying the 4th cashpoint in a row with an hour before my flight leaves and an increasingly agitated cab driver who is so unimpressed by the offer of a bit of zoot to ease the wait I think he wanted to hit me.

And then she had the nerve to tell me it was my fault for not informing the bank of my travel itinerary. Oh Please add me to your global human tracking database you reptilian scum. Fuck Off!

Genuine lolz from that post mate, I was close to blowing up on mr.chemical when I rang, off to HSBC now to see if I can have a buffer over draft so i don't get bank charges, i do hate hsbc tho, got charges before, had £9 in an account, went to an atm, withdrew a tenner, WHY THE FUCK DOES THE ATM LET YOU WITHDRAW IT WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY IN YOUR ACCOUNT? I DIDN'T AND STILL DON'T HAVE AN OVER DRAFT EITHER, ABSOLUTELY SCANDALOUS...

This once happened to me whilst I was trying to pick up a hire car with my girlfriend and a bunch of mates... none of whom had a bank account with enough money to cover the charge. In the end, a bloke also queueing paid for OUR car in return for my address, phone number and passport number.... fucking saved my life. That was HSBC too... stnuc. I closed my account as soon as we got home...
