Back to School (tuesday thread?)
The boys are just eating their cheerios in their brand new school uniforms. They look like condemned men.
Saddest day of the year.
Oh it was a training day yesterday before you ask.

(so how are you this fine humpday eve?)
oh and fidel sorry for being a dick to you yesterday
:(
oh!
literally no offence taken (even at the time tbh), zexybum.
Slugs everywhere this morning.
Busy day ahead. Probably go see some football after work.
ever had a shower with a slug?
I did once (not on purpose - no perv). They start writhing around. It's disgusting. Student houses.
God no.
Sounds quite awful.
well if you're into your slugs (which im not) its probably
Ok
slug seemed to be having a pretty good time though tbf tbh
Slug in the shower... urgh
Worst slug/student house kitchen interface I ever had was when I was cooking a pizza and opened the oven door to check it and I noticed a slug being cooked alive on the bottom of the oven :( :( :(
Both grim AND disgusting in differing ways.
First day back at school was always brutal
I don't envy your kids at all.
Today is my last day at work for a week. Going to Northern Ireland tomorrow to visit the family. I'd be pretty happy to spend the week just drinking Guinness and watching Netflix but I'm pretty sure my Nan is still on 56k dial up
never been to ireland
Northern or the rest. Need to remedy this.
I tacitly remember...
The pain and anguish of knowing that you are returning to school. Even as a young child, with only a partial ability towards the utter neurosis of adulthood, the sense of dread was so horrifically palpable.
One of my best mates is visiting me this afternoon and overnight before he moves to Spain for a year this coming Sunday. Bit sad at the thought of it :(
cheap holiday for you maybe?
Yeah, hopefully so
He's living with a posho family and teaching the kids and stuff though so might be unacceptable to just turn up and crash. Still...
just rock up
And pour on the charm
please don't talk to me
colon said this thread was shit
so started his own http://drownedinsound.com/community/boards/social/4453201
This isn't acceptable behaviour.
I know!
you need an emergency TBB meeting
:D
Oh BTW, have you seen Modeselektor are doing a thing in October at the Troxy?
No I had not!
Nosaj Thing too! Very tempting...
YES.
I bought tickets. It's an all night thing which I kind of struggle with these days but OH WELL.
VERY excited about that Liars thing at VU
hoping that's late night and gets an extended line up too
No i didn't!
- I asked whether some shit had gone down yesterday due to the last of threads from last night;
- I asked how your first cup of tea is, and how you are.
Nobody likes a snitch, ma0sm.
:(
has there been drama?
I wasn't aware, I'd better tone it down a bit
smiggsy went too far this time
should have guessed
I am really hungry.
Kids went back yesterday
In tomorrow then off until next week courtesy of NATO
That shit is ridiculous
Cardiff / Newport are basically closed for a few days
Someone I'm nominally in charge of was late today
As they got later and later I realised I might have to phone them and pretend I was annoyed, becoming "that guy" in the process. But they've just showed up and I was all nonchalant and understanding (even though their excuse was clearly bollocks), so all is well.
alright?
does this mean the shop is going to be really busy again at lunchtime? that's a pisser
Hullo, I'm a new'un
Nothing in my adult life has ever compared to that "back to school feeling", utter dread. Moving to Bristol on saturday and finish work tomorrow so today I'm pretending to look busy and productive. Might have a burrito for lunch.
Welcome!
Try not to talk to anyone.
That "going back to work after a week or two off" is worse, I reckon.
used to hate all the "back to school" displays in the shops
that would appear half way through summer. wankers.
still resent them a bit.
The adverts as well
"Oooh, buy all this fancy new stationery and be the coolest kid in school" on the 11th of August. Screw off, advert.
actually
new stationary was the silver lining for me
my mum
used to set aside the ENTIRE DAY the day before me and my brother went back to buy stationary and uniform stuff. an awful prelude to the worst day of the year.
had the best stationary in class though :D
I got this
torture (except the stationary part obvs)
now I want a burrito for lunch too
only went and got one didn't I?
what did you go for, ma0sm?
I've not had a burrito in AGES.
pork
and when they said "do you want blah blah blah blah blah" I just said "yes" so they put everything in it. EVERYTHING.
Congrats!
just had mine, was devastatingly good. got all the things. 10/10, would burrito again.
gotta get all the things
who doesn't have all the things?
I feel like i'm settling in for winter already
wearing my cardi to work, caught a cold and I'm constantly hungry. I've eaten fake beef, a pork less pie and a litre of smoothie already this morning.
HELLO
Nice sunny cycle to work. Tonight I am cycling to Stratford to meet my mother for tea and to FINALLY collect my bank card from her.
I need to buy moisturizer and face wash too.
I had to take my bike back to the shop that repaired the brakes
because the wheel wasn't true. I won't have it back until Thursday at the earliest now :'''(
Can someone find me a job I can cycle to? Thanks.
feel free to all pin notes on my back and bogwash me etc
but I LOVED the first day back of school, and still get a bit excited about new things at this time of year. End of the boredom of holidays! Get to see all your friends! You might have some new teachers! And a new person in your class who could be a new friend! And you have a new pencilcase and new uniform and the air starts to feel all crisp and Autumny.
Having said that, now I'm an adult and haven't had more than two weeks off work in a row for about 13 years, I would very much enjoy a child's boring summer holiday.
Today's news: think I scratched my eye taking my lenses out, because I woke up with my eyelid glued together. So I'm having to wear my glasses and no make-up.
:)
why am I not suprised
I just used to crank my ipod and play this

Apparently the weather is supposed to be ace this week, which is perfect for sitting around in the office\classroom obvs.
after a week of having no-one else in at work
there are FOUR people in today. might just go and sit somewhere else in protest. or at least put headphones on.
Feeling pretty pap.
still undetermined illness, in that stage where it could just be a couple of days of feeling shit, or develop into something worse and I'm not yet sure.
Either way, cannot be arsed with today
Saw a kid in a "Cool Story Bro" tshirt yesterday.
Having a Gill Scott-Heron day
what a poet/songwriter.

Found out what type of dog pack i would belong to as well: Mastiff. 🐶
