Well? I started drinking early ok.

One of the more full time chefs has handed in her resignation in at work. I'm not sure that I want her job, I'm working just enough hours to have a balance of getting pissed most of the time with a few hours of working. Also I don't think my dad really wants me to do it either because he wants me to get a proper job.

However I'm the most obvious choice, mainly because I can do everything and have done when people are away.

I think some communication is required but I don't think I can be bothered with another "you need to get a proper job" speech. Tricky eh? Part of me would really like the job but the other part is stuck in the easy lifestyle I've become used to. I know it can't last forever though.

Anybody else got anything interesting going on?

Send a cv with a covering letter through the post. That's got to be a winner.

I'm eating the last of my Ben & Jerry's. Might have to finish off the bottle of wine I opened t'other day after that.

You sound like a girl who's just been dumped Mr Pie.

Yes, I realised that after I typed it. I'll probably get on the scales tomorrow, find out I've put on 2 pounds and starve myself for the rest of the week.

All I want is a nice boy who will buy me flowers and chocolates from time to time. Oh and leave the toilet seat down and wash out the bath once he's done using it.

Ben be careful with fathers, my old chap is talking of retiring and wants me to run his comapny, the difference is what he wants to pay me and what the jobs worth is a difference of about 3k a month.

Fathers arent stupid.  Combat teh talk by saying you wnat to learn from him etc etc and he will give you a pay rise

Si is a girl. FACT

I cant imagine opening a bottle of Wine and not  finishing it.

There is a bit of a difference. You're father owns some sort of ruthless business empire, and my dad owns a little tapas bar in old town.

I earn the same as the girl I'd be replacing if I got the job anyway so it wouldn't mean a pay rise, just more hours.

Dear Daddy,

I am writing to apply for the job of more full-time chef at your tapas bar. I've shown I can do the job by filling in when people have been away and if things get too much I can always do some stock-taking in the store cupboard (I'm especially good at taking the alcohol stock).

I know you are a little disappointed that I wasted pretty much four years at university and haven't really looked for a 'proper' job yet, but I think this job will be ideal and will at least keep me off the dole.

I enclose my CV for your perusal and look forward to hearing back from you.


Yours sincerely,



flammableBen.


P.S. I'll even get a haircut if I have to.

Neither could I up until a week ago, but I'm a responsible drinker now  :o

 :D That's pretty brilliant. I'm tempted to email it to him.

i think the postscript is a deal-breaker, though.

i'm contemplating an early night ahead of my first day at work tomorrow. oooh, it's like going back to school after the summer holidays

What job have you sold out to Sonic?

Shit that's a point, I'm workign in London tomorrow. I better find out where exactly I have to go

i am, officially at least, a freelance IT contractor. unofficially, or in reality, i'm doing tech support type stuff

A life of sex, drugs and rock and roll awaits you.

Trust me on this one.

Whatever you do Sonic, don't buy a proper camera.

He's already got one.

Doomed.

It's Game Over.

Sonic has sold out, next Ben will go into rehab

The TEF is dead

I ain't going to rehab.

Exactly what Whinehouse said, look at her now!

Exactly. She was having an ace time and then she keeps getting hounded by the media. Poor girl.

Ben - i assume it was you who changed my subtitle. can you explain why i don't have enough blood?

or too much even

Nah, sorry. Wasn't me.

si - must be you then.

Si doesn't have that sort of power

It was Yeovil or Sonic or Whits.

confusion reigns. what does it mean?!!

I have no idea. Maybe jesus is telling you to self harm?

i'll give it a go, where's that razor.















ahhhhhh. the release.

could it be you have a fetish for sticking black pudding up your arse or something?

Whatever it is it can't be as bad as mine.

Got assigned full racist avatar/signature/thing under name because of inacurrate, misinformed hear-say suggesting I voted for BNP, when really I always thought they made petrol.

I think you were meant to use the axe...

Tell you what, sit down and watch Dexter, that'll give you a few more ideas.

Note: Please attempt any self-mutilation under the supervision of a qualified adult. Just in case, like.

arriba - er, no.

karlsruhe - shut up you racist

pumbaa - the axe is reserved for motivating easton. and what's dexter?

maybe you like licking out women on the blob?

who doesn't?

TV Show.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0773262/

Just watched the whole 1st series over two days. Its rather compelling viewing.

never heard of it, might download it and give it a try. although i don't understand the connection with too much blood.

I'm scared of clicking pumbaa's link, with the way the threads going it should be some bloke chugging down some lumpy menstruation. I'm not in the mood for that shit.

Anybody want their title changed then beg me. Then I can laugh, ignore you or maybe change it something worse.

i just want to know what it means!

Maybe you need to go and donate gallons of blood and stop being so greedy

I didn't change it. Honestly. It's far to cryptic and clever for me.

I did change Sonic's an hour or so ago, can't see why that would affect yours though.

i tried, they wouldn't take it.

He has the blood grid.

Alcohol levels not contain enough blood?

something like that. bloody helpers there don't have a clue  - they just follow a script.

Eh? I thought I'd replied to this. I must be going fucking crazy.

Giving blood is ace.

Anyhoo, there's enough people online to keep this thread going. What are you all doing up so late on a Sunday evening? Don't you have jobs?

I lost the jist of this after giving axs all the relevant data to become (a) a serial killer or (b) a self mutalist.

Then I ate dinner. Thats about it. Trying to stay sober so I can sleep well tonight. Fearing I might not though (stay sober, or sleep)

How the fuck does staying sober help you sleep? I always end up shaking and sweating.

No job for me yet, interview Tuesday. If I don't get that I can hopefully get some basic job for the time being. To be fair, I should be in bed now but watching Top Gear repeat on BBC1. Problem is there is some prick in the corner getting in the way.

FB, I triple-dare you to change my title

(Just noticed you said about it on another page)

Dunno, one of those unexplained mysteries of life I guess

 :shrug:

Karlsruhe_Red, what are your opinions about immigration into the United Kingdom?

Oh, and I can't stop farting. What a inspired choice of name eh?

Depends.

What you can't sleep when your drunk? You need to drink more! Good god, I feel that the Americans may have been sucking out your soul.

On what?

Its nothing to do with being in the states, I've never slept well when drunk. I must be a freak or something, which wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

On the situation/intention of the immigrant.

Without wanting to sound like a Daily Mail reader, I don't think it would be feasible to allow absolutely anyone "in". However, immigration laws are hard to enforce ethically.

I think all the whites should fuck off home though.

Dr. F. Ben prescribes a litre of vodka. To be drank next time you don't have work the next day. Or even if you do have work. The prescription says "do it".

Immigrants are people who come here to work, and by working they pay taxes. How can you have a problem with that?

 Especially with the natural population of the UK getting older, there aren't enough young natively born British people to carry the tax burden of the impending pension crisis. Or any services for people beyond a working age.

Would you prefer that we cut down on public services or benefits such as the NHS/Pensions etc. or allow more people to come in to fill holes in our economy and pay tax?

I be fishing for an argument a bit, but it would be nice to have a sensible discussion with someone.

as long as you kick them out before they claim a state pension then alls well.

if they stay paying tax then they are entitled to their pension.

yes, if they work for a certain amount of time to earn it, if they move here when they are 59 then we are subsidising it.

I'm thinking more from an over-population angle.

as a property owner its a good thing, more demand for housing keeps prices on the increase. as soon as immigration laws or interest rates kick in then house prices will level off or even fall.

That would be a massive minority though, the majority of immigrant come here young to earn some money. Especially recently with the new countries let into the EU. And as their countries get economically stronger due to joining the EU, a big proportion will head back having paid more tax than they ever received in public services.

and fair play to them, i'd do the same.

Ace! Not much Vodka left. Is Southern Comfort an adequate substitute?

as long as it's 40% it counts.

Overpopulation in what way? The thing which keeps house prices buoyant?

I'm trying desperately hard to not drink tonight, but you bastards are challenging my resolve....

Is it not sometimes the case though, that immigrants from poorer countries sent a large percentage of their earnings back to their families outside the UK, subsequently harming the economy (fair play, I'd do the same). You can't base your entire argument on paying taxes, because in a free market economy this would cause rises in unemployment.

sorry not trying to lead you on.

I say drink.

Nothing to do with economics at all, more the risk of becoming one massive concrete island. Our population density is a lot higher than other european countries.

Make your own Moonshine, I've heard it's pretty ace.

Fuck that, I'll just drive 40 miles to Kentucky and knick some  :mrgreen:

The sending money is pretty much irrelevant. It's such a little amount that it will have next to zero affect on the economy.

On the unemployment issue. Yes you'll be pissed off if some Polish dude can come along and do your job cheaper, but competition for work is a good thing, and you're forgetting all the more skilled people we thief. Especially in state run sectors. Teachers, Doctors, Nurses etc.

But if their right to be here doesn't come down to how much tax they put back in to the economy then what does it come down to?

If you do, get me some. Jeff Gordon's from somewhere like Kentucky I think, steal his car.

Yes, but most other European countries are barren wasteland, we've got enough room. And we need to make room if we don't

Anyhoo. Let's talk about getting pumbaa drunk. Drink some aftershave coxy.

Fuck off Ben, alcohol's cheaper. Plus my aftershave makes me attractive to women (well, blind ones with a sense of smell anyway  :mrgreen: )

So you're gong to get some more alcohol so you can get over this drinking sleeping thing?

Think I'll have too  :|

All forms of competition are a good thing, I don't think I said any different did I? I forgot mentioning all immigrants are bone heads who are only capable of doing manual labour too. The sending money is small amount at the moment, but with unlimited immigration it wouldn't be would it, if a large proportion of the population was doing it.

I haven't got a problem with any person paying taxes, whatever nationality/race/etc they may be. The problem would be the potential side-effects. In an ideal world people would be able to move freely where ever they wanted, but unfortunately it's not an ideal world, is it?

Do you think these vague potential side effects out way the benefits from a fairly open immigrant policy from the new EU countries?

We've not really got enough room for an unlimited period of unlimited immigration. Not if you want any countryside left anyway.

good. do it.

How many hours behind proper time are you? 6? Is it only 8pm? I'd say get me some wine, but the logistics of instantly sending it are a nightmare.

5. Its 2115.

*weigh  :wink:

It depended on your definition of 'fairly open', and why is it suddenly only immigrants from EU countries? From an EU stand-point, I don't think it's justified 'changing the rules' for certain EU countries, free movement of people is one of the good things about the EU.

My general perception of American liquor stores would be driving to a dodgy part of town with a gun in your picket. Stereotypes rock.

A side effect of mass immigration  :wink:

I think I've put your points in the right order.

First point... we're not running out of space in anyway what so ever. In fact we're subsidising farmers to use most of it. I suppose it's good back up for when there's a sudden nuclear war or triffids attack.

Second point... Free movement of people is ace. I was using the new EU countries as an example because that's what I figured I was arguing against, it being the most recent influx. Immigration from any country is good though, doesn't matter if they aren't in the EU.

have you stocked up on vodka yet?

No, and I'm not going to. I'm resisting your attempts Ben. Its easy really.

are you sure it's easy? Hmmm... I'm not sure my low hypnotising voice works when put into type. Not that I actually have a low hypnotising voice. But it would be nice. I speak more like a Squirrel on Steroids.

axs - i thought you had to give blood but couldn't, so you just BLEED forever?

maybe i'm confused. it's not difficult

er, no. i think you are confused.

i'll tell you the actual story if you're still interested next time i see you.

sadly, i am quite interested  :D
