he mean each others, its not the same as both nervously wringing your own hands in the company of a woman.

Do people hold hands in public after the age of 13?

Jesus christ Hives ?

And if you know a better way of exchanging long protein strings, I'd like to hear it.

Didn't bring lunch to work today so I went out to buy a roll.
....mmmmmm food bought in service stations - it's great being home :-(

So I got a chicken roll, bag of chips and a diet coke
"That'll be 4.75"
I hand over a debit card
"Ther'll be 20c cent on that because it's under 5"
"What?"
"You can use the ATM over there"
"No just give me back the card"

I left the stuff and walked out and bought it in the next shop

My colleagues think I'm some class of serial killer for doing this. But fuck it. When did every company in the country feel completely entitled to fuck people around and when did we all get so fucking servile and compliant.

Ha, over 25 cent ? why didn't you just buy a Freddo bar or pack of chewing gum ?

First world problem, right there.

It's worse in pubs though.

"Sorry can't serve you if it's under £5."

"But a pint costs £3.60, what do you want me to do oreder 2 pints and let one go flat ?"

"Ehm"

"Fuck it throw a Jameson on there too"

Best lunch break ever.

Sorry what were we complaining about ?

ATM's in London regularly charge you up to £2 to take out your own money. You'd be hard pressed to find a local shop that doesn't charge you 50p minimum to use your card where I live. Where I used to live the fuckers in my local grocery shop started charging £1.50 to use your card. Unbelievable. I told them it was ridiculous and I'd never be shopping there again.

Do people hold hands in public after the age of 13?

I knew an amazing couple, very close family friends and like grandparents to me, who always held hands in public. They also walked arm in arm and he always opened doors, pushed in her chair etc. She was 98 when she died and he lived to 104. They were amazing. My current husband was the only "young man" she thought was handsome enough and good enough for me - that when she met him nearly 18 years ago when neither of us had romatic thoughts. I miss them every day and I often wish that she'd lived to see us married and to meet our little man.

Not liking death. My father's best friend died suddenly the other night. Dad was there with him, drinking tea and chatting. Danny was so good to us after Bun died, such a kind and thoughtful man.

I might be more jaded than previously thought.

Holding hands isn't so bad, what really gets me is those lads who feel they have to constantly hold their girlfriend like they're gonna escape or something. Idiots.

I’m more accustom to men walking a head of me only to realise I’ve been lost in a sea of people behind them and/or crossing the road and expecting me to run/follow nearly getting hit by on coming traffic. I honestly can’t imagine anyone wanting to hold my hand lovingly or even possessively. I think I’d nearly jump out of my skin if someone tried.

I realised last week that the last time I had a night out was @Scientician 0.8 's birthday party - 2 years ago.

yeah, but it'd be pointless to have another night out after that. Couldn't possibly come close to that again

my tunnocks tea cake got squashed

was really looking forward to the Comets on Fire gig on Friday until i just found out that it's going to be me and three couples going and now i want to kill myself

Comets on Fire though. Nothing else is relevant.

Sure this is true. That was the party of the century.

Lack of Time. Or i've committed to stuff which requires more time then there is to do it all.

Took the morning off and, like a good son, brought my mother to Ikea because her car is too small to fit a flat pack wardrobe in. Ended up spending more on stuff for my place than she spent for hers.

On the upside I manged to get her through the whole shop, door to till in 50 minutes, which is a shocker.

I am supposed to finish work at 4pm every day. Monday a meeting was scheduled for 3pm and at 4.30 I had to excuse myself. This afternoon I've been drafted into a 3.30 meeting which will probably take at least as long as Monday's meeting. I really dislike people who wander in late in the morning and then expect everyone else to work late because they have to to make up their hours.

I was sitting in at a meeting all day yesterday and only noticed towards the end that I had puke all over my left shoe.

It was baby puke so I like to think that it's not too gross.
