    @Snowy There really is no point in using flying jet fighters as a chat up line, no one ever believes you! Dolphin trainer, Canadian hydro engineers, lighthouse painters (I do the red, my buddy does the white) much more consistent results 😉

    Close to 100% I’d guess. Shame really.

    Airline pilot - gets either a "piston wristed gibbon" look, or a Tui billboard look. Just not the required responses if you are trying to pull (so to speak). Pretty sure my wife rolled her eyes when she found out what I did in the first instance (after the aluminium tubing transport, then I was in the shit for lying to her, but not actually a lie).

    Getting a bit off topic, but like to hear some of your success stories. So, best job to impress a girl? We have ruled out pilot (although @RL seems to be "on board", yes, pun intended).

    What the fuck has this thread become ?

    British shopping habits ?

    Any talk of shopping makes me grumpy which conveniently brings me to my next point.

    CHRISTMAS CAROLS IN MID NOVEMBER !!!!

    Fuuuuuuuccccckkkkk Offffffffffff !!!!!

    Agreed, what the fuck is an easy peeler?

    To add to my list, I hate it when a food place only partially tells you whats in something on a menu. For example, you'll order bacon and egg burger for breakfast that says bacon and egg and BBQ sauce on the menu, and then it will come out with the mustard, mayo, and half a bag of mesclun salad dumped over the top.

    @MN5 our neighbours have put their decorations up outside over a week ago.

    Not sure where they shop sorry.

    Well if they've got their decos up already they're definitely Tescos people.

    I hate office birthday celebrations. A bunch of people singing a shit song half-heartedly to justify getting a piece of shitty cake afterwards.

    Yes let's return to ginga båstards cats. Stupid ivory skulled twunt came in last night and dropped a bird on me while I was sleeping. He was on my leg at the time and I recoiled so violently that I sent him flying into the wall (it's bloody hot here now so no sheets). The bird was just a chick and was ok but I'll bet he brings it on tommorrow as well. One solution is a bell but then the stupid prick will probably keep me up all night dancing around with that thing on. Dipshit.

    The "it's your birthday so you have to supply the cake" nonsense. I never let people in the office know when my birthday is. The cake is a lie.

    Cat's busy thinking you're an ungrateful prick.

    I'm quite enjoy the stories of the Ginger Bastard Cat. Have you considered turning your adventures in a Garfield-like series of cartoons? Less fat and lazy, more evil bastard. I'd subscribe.

    Had never heard of it. Another of my great ideas down the tube.

    Chilled Foods at a supermarket (Big Fresh) worked for me, still with her 24 years later. She must have been impressed with the way I handled the chicken breasts.

    Ha Rancid is so grumpy he’s quoted a post that has nothing to do with what he’s talking about.

    This sums up this thread in a nutshell 🙂

    Yep very amusing.

    We had a tabby. Really gentle girl but dim and one of the funniest things I have ever seen was when she got on top of a cupboard in a rental we had in Hong Kong.She was playing with a couple of wires coming out of the wall.

    Me to girlfriend (now wife) " those aren't live are they?"
    Her "Nah, can't be".

    Cat then flies backwards off the top of the cupboard across the room. It was straight out of a cartoon, even the whole hair thing.

    Me: "I reckon they might be live".

    I did check that the cat was O.K before I started laughing, and was it funny as fuck.

    That's not the worst idea. Youngest is a very good drawer. However, I don't think Ginga Bastard is evil, more mentally retarded. Him going through his cat flap is like watching someone with a severe case of Parkinson's disease trying to push open a heavy door.

    Cracked me up, because the previously electrocuted cat used to do that, as if the cat flap was 240v as well. I think that she blamed me for the whole episode (because I laughed so much) and I wasn't to be trusted after installing the catflap.

    I’ve been lucky that in my last three workplaces we have had awesome cake makers and no singalongs.

    My minion two jobs ago makes awesome old school cakes (banana cake, chocolate etc) and she still makes me one for my birthday now. One of the girls at my current job is a fancy cake baker so we get these for everyone’s birthday.

    Sorry for going against the grain of the thread.

    I hate it when people get better birthday cakes than me. It makes me very angry. So there you got @Nepia you’re back in the thread.
