[QUOTE=Wolfnipplechips;13900985]Ask him to go easy on beans next time :)

People who gloat on the internet about how wonderful their life is...:hi:

Peter sellers [emoji106]

It's Diwali...

Not everything is wonderful. It has been far from perfect the last couple of years.

I dont earn enough to visit the old country as often as I would like. But my family are healthy and happy and I am, too. What more can you want?

Chile is a great place to semi retire to if you have a little money. I am where I need to be at this stage of my life. More by luck than design I reckon.

But I would say the old cliches, if you dont like your life only one person can change that. Sometimes those changes have to be very radical, and sometimes people cant bring themselves to take the steps needed. But almost all the people I know who have made those changes or have had those changes forced upon them are in a better place.

My life is great but I still take my lunch to work most days :sunglasses:

And eat it alone, shut away in your office. Tupperware Friend.

Yes, and the reason I do that is so I can get my work done and get out. I'm home by 5pm and get to spend 4 or 5 hours with my wife and kid every night.

I could go out for lunch, spend more money, eat less healthily and get to see my family less but I think my choice is the right one!

Ha ha ha why can't you afford to travel? I can afford to. Shouldn't you just get a better job or are you tight?

FYI I don't go to work to socialize, and I don't have, nor want, friends at work. It's called work for a reason. Get in, get stuff done, get out.

Agree

:p

And also, it's not a quid a day.

If I buy breakfast and lunch near my work, it's about £12 a day.
Cereal and milk and bananas costs me a couple of quid a week. Salads for lunch with basic ingredients, or even leftovers from the previous night, costs me about a tenner a week.

I can save £40-50 a week by taking my lunch in. Over a year, that's a REALLY nice holiday for me and my family. Or our weekends away watching sport, which are about 20 weekends a year.

But hey, you wish you could come home more often... so you must be doing it better than me. ��

I was just jesting.

Costa, Pret, Starbucks for me and my wife is £18 for Drink Sandwich and Cake. Fecking rip off bastards

Nothing wrong with me at all. Perhaps you need to take a good look at yourself and how you became such a sad ****ed up individual. Feel sorry for yourself rather then me.

Those new Thames link trains frankly I don't need to know that the bakerloo

Line is providing a good service when heading away from London FFS!

‘It is what it is.’

The perfect soundbite for *****

£150k per year rent and rates.........fecking rip off bastards.

I am definitely going to use this from now on. It's brilliant. It's like performance art in letters. How can people find it annoying?

The thing I'm most annoyed about tonight is finding a dead cat in the front garden on the way to the off licence. I don't know what would've killed it; it's not like it's cold outside. It's just raining. Its head is in situ, so I've ruled the Croydon cat killer.

Underlying profits at Costa rose £21m to £153.5m, poor bastards..

So that’s £9 each for coffee, sandwich and cake.

Intially that sounds high, but many years ago I was advised that the standard mark up in catering was 3 times the cost, possibly more in places where they have higher than normal costs such London or motorway service stations.

So that makes your order worth £3, which I think isn’t miles off the cost of making your own proper coffee, decent sandwich and quality cake at home, where you don’t have all the running costs of the chains you’ve mentioned.

Oh dear, that’s grim.

My guess would be that it’s been hit by car, then reached your garden before it collapsed and died. It’s injuries could be internal.

Now I feel like a tight arse

Although.... Two large Coffees, Tow decent Bacon baps and a pack of 4 mini choc brownies £6.75 = it is Greggs though. I genuinely don't know how they money out of that.

Ah, thanks mate. It's still there. My own cat is ginger so I initially thought it was him, but it isn't.

I'm just gonna have to let my mum discover it on her way to work tomorrow morning and just style it out from there.

Fake mews

At least then you will earn the admiration of your work colleagues, who currently see you as an unfriendly idler who always skips out early. :hi:

I know mate.

Lot's of things iffy about my life. The most is missing the UK sometimes. Missing my mates, missing banter - Chileans don't understand banter. It is painful watching them get offended to ex pat jokes on facebook groups.

And missing the real matchday experience, not whatever nonsense SP is serving up. Home and away. Missing days like last weekends Chelsea game hurts. Missing the Cup Final. Great to watch it, but not like being there. Always playing catch up on TV shows and the like.

Posting on my own on the BBS in the evening because all of you lot are tucked up in bed early, extra early for getting up 30 minutes early to prepare take to work lunch.

Anyhoo. Wasn't meaning to learn how to fish today (always fancied trying that at Blind's), but it seems I accidently dropped the rod in and came away with the Championship tropht today. Maidstoned is going above the fireplace.

I've had a lot of fun guys, it has been real today.

Err, no it isn't (fake mews).

Wow what did I miss today... 6 pages of annoyances...

Must have been some major bitching going on!

I'm not there for their admiration. I'm there to earn money I can spend with and on my family.

Long gone are the days when I cared about my "career", now it's just a job.

People who buy a new car when the new plates are out just to show off.They don't realise the rest of us are thinking that if they bought it a year later they would save thousands.......

People inserting french phrases into english sentences.

When I met you, you cared about traveling and constantly traveling, Find a way to do that again. Kid on the back walking Machu Picchu type of thing.

Even Del Boy?

The sudden adoption of people saying 'disconnect' rather than 'disconnection' for example 'there has been a disconnect with the fans'

Why?

The mood I'm in at the moment you wouldn't want me anywhere near you....dead or alive.

Perhaps if he took his own lunch to work he could save a bit more.

It definitely isnt missing you

Mon dieu! Has anybody said James Corden yet? Who allows this obese, naughty eight year old onto television? I always feel embarrassed for his parents.

Talentless ****, must of sucked Satin's cock to get where he has. He is a horrible bloke aswell, dont be fool by his giggingly harmless fat man persona.

We are constantly travelling. The kid has been to 8 countries and she's not even 10 months old. Next month we're away for the whole month. She'll have been to 10 countries before she's a year old. I visited my 10th country when I was 25.

And by working, and not paying £12 a day for food I don't need to be eating, I can afford to give her those experiences and I have that time to spend with her and my wife, both at home and when we go away.

Bloody hell, you be careful or Wolfie will be on your case!

We're trying to squeeze as many trips into the first 2 years before we have to start paying for her flights. Just booked her a flight for next summer which cost $1.25 for her!

That's the sort of saving money and planning which PeterH probably hates - he'd expect most people to buy their own plane for a holiday, not scrounge a cheap seat on other peoples.

saxon, I don't think your daughter, at 10 months old, is going to remember all of these trips and 10 different countries.

Fair enough,though no doubt chavvy,non religious types will be letting off fireworks well before the 5th.

Shhhhh! Don't tell him that

Perhaps not, but I will :D

And rather pay £10 for a half stale cheese and chicken "Panini" and a room temprature, plastic bottle of Chenin Blanc.......than take his own sarnies on the plane...oh the shame.

We had a few holidays before our daughter was mobile - now she's nearly a year old all she wants to do is explore and play with (throw) everything in sight. I can't imagine how we'd get her to happily sit on our laps for 2-4 hours, given her usual threshold is about 10 seconds.

We are looking at cruises instead until she's old enough to reason with :eek:

The phrase “whoop whoop” - I seriously want to head butt anyone that says it. Whoop f—king whoop FFS

Longest flight so far has been about 2hrs, but in a couple of weeks we're flying to the US to visit the wife's family (most of them haven't bothered coming to see us, but have made us feel guilty so now my wife feels obliged for us to go visit them :rolleyes: )... that flight will be more fun, I'm sure!

Will you lie around all day eating all their food?

We took our 2 year old recently on a 4 hour flight to Greece. It was ‘interesting’ to say the least but unlike your child, ours can walk around etc which makes life more difficult as typically a toddler won’t want to sit down. Take off and landing was not so much fun! Would still do it all again though.


Very good ME btw - very funny [emoji16]

I hope you've signed her up for her own frequent flyer account, all those airmiles will pay for her gap year

No, I'll be working from my hotel room to avoid them.

Do Easyjet and Ryanair do airmiles? :D

Making her fly Ryanair might be seen as abuse ;)

At least there's a good chance that you don't have to sit next to your kid on the flight though.

I'm starting her young with ammunition to post on this thread in later life.

Is that Jeremy Corbyn?

Poxy algae in my aquarium. I must be all moaned out today.... :-)

Why are you working during your holiday?

Where did I say it was a holiday?! (Some of it is, but most of it isn't - I'll be working remotely)

The phrase "weather bomb" which I don't think existed a couple of years ago. Just call it a storm or a gale or whatever meteorological event it is rather than give it a stupid Twitter trendy name.

And following on from that, British people shrieking like banshees on television and at events when somebody is introduced, or somebody "edgy" like the fat eight year old James Corden says something "edgy". Grow up people, you are British, we are better than this.

Oh and Halloween. Bloody Hell.

He'll be freezing it and bringing it back for packed lunches.

Nearly missed this gem. Do you take your own sarnies on a plane? Ones prepared at home?

Trick or Treat? How about ***k off, it's not America:D

Actually, I came onto this thread to moan about something else. Sky Sports News. Ah, the lovely soothing voice of the lovely Hayley McQueen. But where is she? She, along with old Mr Hypobole himself, what's his name transfer deadline day guy, is sitting behind this unnecessarily huge desk, big enough for a set meal for twenty. Behind them are all these various screens flashing away, showing what I assume are all of Sky's latest channels after their latest reorganisation of their sports. Talk about unwatchable. the presenters drowning in a sea of colour and movement.

It's almost as bad as they get the presenter to stand next to a huge display wall, like a speck of humanity. Might as well just broadcast it as radio.

Someone that round can never be "edgy"!

The Mrs watching ******* Twilight.

I tend to just stare at her tits so what happens in the periphery tends to just blur away.

Claudia Winkleman.

Taking kookiness, which is irritating in a middle aged woman anyway, and multiplying it exponentially. Imagine if she was not so privileged through birth and that she worked in your office.

You are Harvey Weinstein and I claim my £5 😉

Modern day soc.lib spineless snowflakes

Mark Carney

Brighton winning

Could have stopped after the first word.

Oo-er!

after watching her in American Horror Story, Lena Dunham. Put her in a big **** off cannon and shoot her and that bloody whiny septic accent into the sun

Being sat on a 3 hour train to newcastle with a hangover/still slightly drunk, and having a 7 month old baby sat at the same table

And it'll be nappy change time soon.

Mugabe being appointed Goodwill Ambassador

Modern day phrases such as 'soc.lib spineless snowflakes'. Nobody will get my vote talking like that.

You have got to admire the fact that she has taken such little talent and convinced a large portion of America's right-on society that she can act and write scripts. Plus she pulls off the trick of being the world's leading feminist but simultaneously takes every opportunity to get her kit off (although I think that's a fundamentalist punishment to all men who inadvertently see her do it).

Yep,

I am against people looking for things to be offended by, but snowflake is such a poor phrase and is already well overused. I am trying to understand the metaphorical meaning and I dont think it makes sense. A snowflake melts away easily - a PC PC warrior keeps going on about a point like a dog worrying a bone.

Tickly nasal hairs getting right on my tits (yep, I really should cut them)

I pulled one out yesterday, sneezed, and saw the ****** was white!


Not being able to enjoy the Manchester United loss.

Geordies

Very satisfying when you can pull them straight out.

I like to put them on the iPad screen to check them out.:)

People who take life or themselves too seriously. Honestly, I'm not talking about the BBS here. The people I am referring to would NEVER waste time on here, nor would they support a club like Palace, because they are self-important pricks.

The kind of middle managers at a non-descript company that think they are Steve Jobs in waiting. Usually false people in how they treat others, they smile and nod, but there is nothing in their eyes.

On a similar note. Those that feel they have to reinvent themselves every 5 years. Cull all their friends and contacts. Pricks - others have invested time in having a relationship with you. And you treat them like that.

There was one of those vomit inducing memes on facebook recently, but I took it to heart in respect of point two. 'I don't regret the things I did wrong. I regret the good things I did for the WRONG people'

At 52 I try and not get disappointed by the actions of others - but I reckon it will still be hard when it happens again.


I might be a lot of things to a lot of people, especially how I may come across on here. But I have never in my life knowingly done something bad to anyone or treated someone poorly, or stepped over others to improve my own position. Never played political games at work. I have said silly things, I have offended. But I have never been false. I don't understand why people are like this.

I understand someone being a psycho or a sociopath, but why are there so many of them.

Need a vomit emoji for that.

football can get in the sea

******* youtube adverts, I give up now.

Yep, they are getting invasive. One at the start of a small vid is fair enough. But one every 5 minutes on a 30 minute vid.
