I wouldn't get a fucking look in if I lived here. I'd be forced to a life of celibacy, and probably come home with a monk.
Okay
I'm glad that was an okay post.
I've been sitting on tenterhooks for about 4 days now, unable to get beyond the thought of "I really hope that the self deprecating joke I made about not being good looking enough to pull in Denmark was okay.".
I was worried when it got about 3 pages behind that it may have slipped under the radar, alas - fortunately it was unable to elude your keen eye.
I'm going to get slammed for this but disappointed we can't have any politics threads on here anymore. Completely understand why, but I studied politics at uni and I genuinely find it in interesting. Latest developments re: Brexit would be good to discuss/debate.
Could get political on the Floyd Road Mural thread. Turns out the mural is a piece of socialist art. Wait till some people find they have enjoyed some socialism. For some the shock will be like waking up alongside Diane Abbott.
It's pretty obvious it's 'socialist art', all them types of murals all over London are

Housemate (who still isn't over his ex who dumped him over a year ago) getting serious relationship envy when my girlfriend came to visit for the weekend 2 weeks ago. Refused to talk to us. Had a go at us for talking in the kitchen when we were cooking and then started bitching about us to other people. Continuing to be a grumpy bastard for the following two weeks and now going off on one when I say she's coming down for the weekend again.
Like seriously she arrives midday Saturday and leaves about 6pm Sunday. I still go to cricket training with him and the boys on Saturdays. We don't usually go out on weekends anyways as it's a student town. She mixes with my other housemates and we all have a laugh it's not like we lock ourselves in my room when she comes. If anything she makes me more sociable.
I will add that she has come down for a weekend roughly twice a month since September and he's only just had add problem.
Ohh and my other housemate had his girlfriend here for 2 weeks when she was off work and he didn't have add problem.
Ohh and he is already the least considerate housemate when it comes to noise/using other people's stuff/ eating other people's food. So he can't complain about any of those (not that we did them).

Next time she's down, instead of talking while you're cooking, give her one (noisily) over the kitchen table.

I would advise you to get a new housemate. Failing that, next time your girlfriend stays over, bang her as much as you can until the miserable fucker gets the hint & fucks off out!!

People who talk about others behind their backs will generally find themselves with no friends anyway since if he's doing it about you then he's probably doing it about others too. You find snakes in the grass and grass gets cut.
The thing is. Before this we were really good mates. The closest of everyone in the house. He even came to a protest game with me a while back despite not being a Charlton fan.
He never had a problem before but since the last time he's been a twat. I thought he might have felt left out so I've gone out of my way to do stuff with him since. Brought him beers etc and he's carried on being and twat.
It's got the the point that she doesn't want to come down this weekend when we were planning on going out for our valentines day meal (don't really celebrate it much other than a meal. She's out the country on the actual day) because he has made her feel like she's intruding.

That's really bad.
Next time you're at cricket practice, put him in the nets then start chucking head high bowls at him, see if he confesses why he's being a tart.

I've known a few people like this. People that can't stand to see other people happy just because they're not. As harsh as it sounds, in all honesty I tend to cut those types of people out of my life cause otherwise they end up dragging you down with them.

Sounds like he fancies her, would it be completely out of the question to get him involved in your nocturnal activities?
Sounds to me like he fancies Canters. Anyone who is willing to attend a Charlton match in the current climate, despite not being a Charlton fan, just for the sake of friendship, should be viewed with the deepest suspicion.
Is his room next to yours? Tread carefully mate, he'll be drilling a glory hole in the wall before you know it. And keep the door locked at all times - some of these weirdos will sneak into your room at night and watch you while you sleep, or sneak in while you're out and hide in the wardrobe for hours whilst sniffing your underwear and rubbing custard onto their nipples. So I'm told.

Okay Canters I'll be honest with you... Your Girlfriend is a right sort but its not just you I'm jealous of but her... All those likes and lols you've given me for my posts on here, I thought we had something special {...} Sob!!

Haha didn't even realise I'd given you lots of likes and lols. I usually ignore the username and just read the post. So must mean I agree with you a lot and have a similar sense of humour (or lack of).
4 years ago I took my Grandson to The Valley, he saw the photo today and asked if we were going again. I asked him if he would like to, he said "No" .........another generation drifting away.
Graduate schemes. And how they've all decided to add a video interview to their recruitment process this year.
And when I say video interview it's not a chat with a person via Skype. It's some software where a question pops up, you have 15 seconds to plan and 3 mins to talk to your reflection. A horrendous experience.
Made worse by the fact that these companies have no end of technical issues with these to the point where they've asked me to retake the bloody thing. And now they've decided to ignore them and do it the old fashioned way face to face. Thanks for cooking me around in an incredibly busy time and wasting hours of my time. Wankers.
I don't envy you pal. It was bad enough when I was doing all my training contract applications for law firms 10 years ago. God knows what shit they've been conned into putting into them now to get a deeper psychometric profile of the candidate.
It changes all the time. Now some of the big firms are asking candidates to blank out name, age, university and other fields for fear of unconscious bias. I.e. we tend to make assumptions about people dependant upon factors such as the above. I'm sure it's true, it's just that it's getting harder and harder for graduates to get on a good scheme now given sheer numbers of grads vs jobs.
Yeah. It's absolutely horrendous. It's mostly about who can bullshit the best. I've had those ones to avoid unconscious bias. I can see some sense behind it but all it does is add hassle...
Its made worse by the fact that I had something lined up, but that's fallen through for whatever reason and now I'm a bit late to the party with all the best ones that most interest me have been taken already.

I was worried when it got about 3 pages behind that it may have slipped under the radar, alas - fortunately it was unable to elude your keen eye.
