I live near London and even I get unbearably cold water in the winter. Even if >>7700 hasn't experienced it, I don't see why he finds it so unbelievable.

Having two taps in a sink is a mortal sin. Ideally you should have one, with controls for both hot and cold water, so you can achieve the perfect balance. All of the taps in this house have this feature, but unfortunately take hours to heat up in the first place.

>>7697

My sink is worse. It's a new council house, so there really is no excuse. The sink is both wide enough and deep enough properly wash your hands and face in it, but they put a fucking mixer tap in the middle of the fucking sink.

It's huge and the result is that when I wash my face it spills down the tap onto the back of the basin and gets all over the floor.

If I ever meet who designed those fucking sinks...

>>7700

I live up north and the water is ice cold.

Fair play lad, I am a bit like that to be honest. However, I freely admit that I despise humanity although I have way too many intimacy issues to father a child, even accidentally. I'd like to think I'd have to sense to avoid coming across as such an obvious freak on national television though. As much as I am a stone cold hate machine, I'd like to think I've crafted enough social veneer to remain undetected by the likes of Jezza.

I wondered what happened to that show. It was on Comedy Central yonks back, right? I loved the concept, and it was rather fun just to watch, but the writing was a bit samey.

>>7542
How magnanimous of you.

IT'S 4AM AND I'M IN THE SMOKING AREA OF A CLUB DON'T TELL ME TO STAND OVER THERE AND SMOKE BECAUSE THIS IS MY DESIGNATED ZONE FOR HARMING MYSELF FUCK OFF BACK INSIDE YOU INSIPID WRETCH AND KEEP THINKING YOUR FUCKING FANTASTIC I SINCERELY HOPE YOU DIE YOU CUNT

I hate that I know the rest of the picture this is cropped from.

I always find that picture to be ridiculously sexy if I go on Paint and draw Mickey Mouse's head over the white man.

It's been a while since I was on the dole, 5 years. I was still sending in paper CVs and sometimes those Jobcentre application forms. If it isn't solely E-mail based applications they've moved to then send in a paper one, they'll give you it at the Jobcentre. I was getting about a 75% response rate. Ended up working in a Call centre for 6 months before I started College. I wasn't looking for anything in particular though, so I sent away everything that didn't look soul destroying.

HR can't have went totally paperless, surely?

>>7641
You'd be surprised. Within the last 5 years there's been a proliferation of e-HR and "talent management" systems. A number of large organisations now do their application process totally online (for example, all NHS jobs are now applied for online). I've had more than one company tell me they don't bother with postal applications any more. If they're dealing in CVs, they likely won't print them until someone asks for them.

>>7640
Since emails are normally sorted in order of last received, surely it would make more sense to do it as late as possible? Ideally just before the interviewer starts reading them, but you can't know when that is.

>>7672
Not much you can do here. If the CVs are screened, you have no idea how they'll be passed to the people who pick interviewees. They could be forwarded, in which case they could arrive in any order (oldest or newest first, or in random order), or they could be printed, in which case they'll get there in whatever order the printer spits them out.

>>7667

My company will ONLY let you apply for a job online as well.
Pity they are fucking useless. Half the time the jobs get taken down before the last day you could apply, or I never know when a vacancy I know to exist will be on the website so I have to keep checking, and ultimately miss it. Would be nice if they offered some sort of RSS feed or email update, but nooooo~

>>7632
Would you really though? Or would you plan to do that at the time of the annoyance and back out when it came down to it?

>>7649
It makes me nervous of the day I have to move.

One 3-4 AM gaming session I was happily and obliviously screaming things like "you fucking cunt" at the very top of my lungs. The next morning I found a very angry man on my first-floor doorstep threatening to get his mates round to throw me off my balcony. He struck me as an alcoholic and the type who'd enjoy football hooliganism, so I still take his threat somewhat seriously.

I'm honestly not sure whether I'd prefer the typical British passive-aggressiveness or the immediate jump to "I'm about to kill you" anger.

>>7651
I'm not looking forward to moving. Might not happen for a while but christ I've got to worry about neighbours from hell and whether I'm in a safe neighbourhood which I've taken for granted in the new place.

I heard rumours that my horrible cunt of a neighbour is going to move away in late june. I plan on drinking champagne in front of her house while she puts the last things in her car.

>>7653 the same is happening for me might do the same.

>>7653>>7674
I heard my neighbour was moving so I got the homebase garden chairs and broke out the champagne and cigars.

Her daughter wasn't happy seeing me as they went past in the hearse.

Does anyone who has largely escaped violence in their lives listen to this and think it might be necessary to learn how to handle themselves?

That agent of the landlord is clearly way of out line regardless of what went before the video and seems to be a thoroughly unpleasant individual, but there's no getting around how pathetic it is that all the tenant could do in response is start to cry.

why not just call the police? I'd refuse them entry and then have the old bill on the blower if they did anything except obey me and fuck off. Can't just have people entering your house, whether its with a key or kicking.

>>7659
The tenant who cried didn't even know the front door had been forced until the end of the recording. The letting agent filmed him while he was "lying in [his] bed". I suppose the police should have been called, but that wouldn't necessarily have prevented any of what went on, for they take time to arrive.

>>7660
Worse still, the pathetic little cuntflap would be long gone by then, since if you make him wait for the rozzers you risk being done for false arrest and imprisonment.

I had a landlord kick my door in once, seemingly with the intention of giving me a good kicking.

Best thing he ever did for me since it came at the end of the student year and it voided my contract, saving me three months of unnecessary rent. I only regret that I wasn't home at the time, as the little runt was about half my size and I would have enjoyed the sight of his face as he realised his error (he'd never met me before resorting to attempted ultra violence).

Hung, drawn and quartered would be too kind for you.

I'm pretty sure they get run over or punched on occasion, m8. The penalties for cycling badly are already pretty severe. There should be more tuition in place to educate cyclists on how to use the road, maybe with a cycle-to-work-esque discount on bikes for those who take part?

Anyway can we not have another "cyclists are twats" debate again, we had two concurrent threads about it last time and it really isn't interesting.

>>6898

There aren't many situations in which "get's" could ever be used correctly. I don't think apostrophe abuse should be a capital crime any more than poor cycling should, though.

Why can't we all just get along?

I HEARD A RUMOUR THAT THERE'S GOING TO BE A STRIKE OR SOMETHING AT THE PETROL STATION.

I BETTER FILL UP MY CAR AND 15 JERRY CANS THUS CAUSING MORE TRAFFIC DUE TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH MY LOGIC DOING THE SAME AND I'M HOLDING UP PEOPLE WHO NEED PETROL. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S ILLEGAL TO GET THIS MUCH PETROL.

Took me an hour to get home in what's normally a 15 minute journey because of these cunts.

I have small children, I see inconsiderate and sometimes dangerous driving and parking, like stopping your car in the middle of the road just because there's no spaces within 30m of the nursery, on an almost daily basis.

I don't get it; is there something about becoming a parent that rots some people's brains or are they dim beforehand? It isn't vital to have your car as close to the nursery as possible.

>>7626
if they park too far away the weird guy watching will get their kids.

I'd love to hear you justify why Centerparcs should do anything differently. Watchdog's reasoning seemed to boil down to this: "all manner of people are entitled to visit Centerparcs during the busiest weeks of the year regardless of supply and demand".

>>7612
But Hasbro have a monopoly on Monopoly and I can't afford 1000 units.

>>7614
That's just watchdog. It's a show which relies on outrage. Sometimes there isn't enough, so they have to manufacture some.
And I don't understand why any firm would send a representative on it, the interviews are abysmal. Robinson just shouts at them for a minute and then cuts them off as they try to respond by claiming that they've run out of time.

>>7616
It's mostly because she has to maintain the appearance, and as a result all the corporate bods have to take the abuse, even in the minority of cases where they don't really deserve it. However, the rest almost certainly deserve it because you know they're just there to parrot some bullshit the company has made up to justify what they were doing. The banks will send someone on to claim that their products really are competitive, the energy companies will go on about how they put their prices up to pass on wholesale price increases but ignore the more important point that they fail to pass on decreases, government people will fall back to the size of their "customer base", etc. Full credit to the insurance bod a couple of weeks back for coming up with something original, though.

Germany. A town where Достоевский lets Игрок kill himself. Boring, stuffy, rough suburbs, pasty old money filling. Vilest coppers i've ever met, and i am prone to that. Bored jocks with no idea what they are doing. Hours of stories.

Wrong topic.

I'm in the middle of a messy row with my thoughtfully loud feminist blonde. She is the worst example of theory indigestion in gender levelling and/or knowing her ground to those who do want to exploit her. She confuses my tolerance with weakness. I try to see her indifference as ineptitude. So my hangover this morning was dedicated to a hour-long unprovoked row for which the only reason was her inflating cheeks and raising neck feathers. She's a chauvinist, and not a sleek, cunning one at that.

Can we have some female violence now? Will bump with Lisa nudes for every tale of a humiliated boy. It's us here, there must be quite a few. Perverted break up tales and girls being the type of bloke you don't want to drink with. And half-arsed feminists going over the top.

GOGOGO

Yes sir, mister indigene, sir. Just getting my Borat on.

Addictive is an adjective; it describes the noun. Addicting is the participle adjective of the verb to addict.

>>7550

Can you use it in a sentence where 'addictive' doesn't work?

>>7541

Americans.

>>7553

Observe the following paragraph:

A was addicting B to heroin. Heroin is often regarded as a very addictive substance, which can cause a physical dependency accompanied by addictive behaviour rather quickly. Not only that, but it means that B has been watching more television lately. As you know, I do not own one of the devil's glass teats, but B described it to me thusly: "It's addictive in its own right. Why, I was simply sitting there watching the X-Factor, and it was almost as if I was addicting myself!"

Christ on a jet-ski. That is rank.

I've heard a few horror stories about girls' toilets, usually involving smearing period blood all over the toilet seat and cubicle walls.

I hope this is at your place at work, rather than you just having discovered you live with some sort of malicious hobo woman.

Just stick up a passive-aggressive sign already, you bloody student. Here, I did one for you.

That is proper nasty though.

>>7546
Sadly, this is "home".

>>7549
> you bloody student
I bloody wish. As is, that's a reasonable idea but I'd have to do it using pictures; there's a good chance that the culprit doesn't speak English (if they can read at all, that is) and they may, in fact, have moved on by now.

>>7237

Not all shops. For some fucking retarded reason my company doesn't keep a spare float of change in the safe. So if I run out of change, I generally have to close my shop just to go and get some more fucking pennies or whatever.
This is compounded by the fact my manager HATES counting out change at the end of the day, and so willfully fills up the cashing up bag with shit ton of small change.
