Beer Flu is bad.

Never EVER under any circumstances allow your friend to take you to see plays with titles like 'Fallujah Women' on the premise that 'there will be intellectual fit girls there.' It can only result in an hour and a half of boredom.

The Go! Team are fucking amazing live. I've never been to a more joyous and uplifting gig. And ive rarely left one so sweaty after dancing so much. The support bands Smoosh (two 12 year old girls playing synth and drums) and the Grates (basically the Australian Yeah Yeah Yeahs) also impressed greatly. But, just to stress this again - the Go!

Surely my references (fake though they are) should be enough to get me a job in a fucking call centre? Im pretty confident about this otherwise, but I have a dreadful credit rating. If I dont get the job due ( Read more... )

Ever feel like your life is turning into a routine? Mine is pretty much the same week in week out. Muck about all week on the internet, maybe go for a afternoon pint one day with a friend. Make some 'will this do' attempts to seek employment. Visit those lovely chaps at the jobcentre. And then spend all weekend with mates getting stoned and drunk ( Read more... )
