[Cormcolash]

One of my housemates is a useless cunt that won't do anything around the house, literally anything, including fill out his own information on the census form that's been sitting in the living room for weeks.
I just heard him getting stung by the guy coming to collect the census form, and having to fill his shit out on it, HAAAA

An amazon scammer told me to fuck off and hung up on me

our census lad was saying he has a pain in the hoop at the moment cos everyone is off on holidays and he's having trouble collecting them or verifying that people have stuck them in the post.

Good, it's a fucking load of bollocks, at least 20 years out of date questions on that shit

planning it in the middle of school holiday season was a dopey idea. Everyone around this way is away somewhere.

The census one here is a bit of a dope. I was out of the country on census night and told her that beforehand. She said it was no bother, she'd make a note of it, and not to worry. Several more 'I called but you were out' cards arrived after. When she eventually caught me at home I told her about what she told me before. She had no recollection of it and was embarrassed by it. Same thing for my sister who lives in the same catchment area. They filled out the form but left it in a 'safe' place and communicated this to the census one. Note after note is after being left in the letterbox. The whole thing might go a bit more smoothly if they employ less eejits to run it.

i can see a valid reason for keeping questions the same, or adding to them rather than modifying them in other ways, so you're actually comparing like with like. it's harder to spot trends if a change in answers could be down to a change in the the way questions are put.
he was also saying that some of the questions which seemed to be causing most queries were the ones relating to commuting to work.

I see a thread crossover

My answers on the form

"What time do you normally leave the house at?" - STUPID QUESTION
"What form of transport do you normally use?" - DEPENDS WHERE I'M GOING

Listening to Karma Police. That bassline going for a walk.

It can go for a walk off a short pier along with the rest of their music, although that would be a major pleasure..

The anti-leak Fairy Liquid bottle

what a time to be alive

hurray for science...woo

Fairy Liquid bottle to change a decision sees loss of iconic red top

The new container sees the liquid dispensed from the bottom, meaning the days of carefully balancing the bottle on its narrow red lid to get the last dregs out are behind us

You bastard.

Jam session down the pub, wasn't a great night but one of the lads played Tracy Chapman's "Fast Car". A little group of bet-down looking middle-aged men singing "I had a feeling that I belonged" totally gives me the shivers

Iggy Vs The Corrs

"
A great rock n'roll moment took place last week between Iggy and The Corrs. The Corrs were sat in a small pulpit area a few yards above the side of the Olympia stage in Dublin. Included in the non-entity bunch were Andrea, Caroline and her new 'property developer' husband, the dickface brother and a couple more small fish. What they were doing at an Iggy Pop gig nobody knows but by the end of it they no doubt wish they hadn't bothered.
Andrea Corr seemed to be constantly smirking down at the crowd below as if she saw herself like some ancient mythical Irish Queen gazing out on her peasent subjects while the freaky circus prankster danced maniacally on the stage. Then horror at the end of one song as Iggy did the unspeakable and literally spat in the face of Official Ireland by launching a fully formed perfectly aimed gob right into the middle of the Corr clan, hittting one of the girls on the hair. A great moment for sure and the shock on their faces had me laughing like a hyena below. In the middle of the next song the bare blood stained chested Igster stared angrily up at them once more and screamed "Who The Fuck Are All You" and then slung his microphone into their seats knocking over their drinks. This finally caused terrified Andrea to skip hastily away while the others smiled awkwardly on pretending to know the songs by nodding gently along to Stooges classics.

Meanwhile in the pulpit on the other side, the tiny ultra weird Budda like BP Fallon sat completely still in full US Army gear for the whole event while his harem of 3 tall gorgeous raven haired and black clad chicks danced around him like sex crazed demons. Bizarre evening.

The band itself were Iggy's usual awful sub metal types that he's had since the Instinct tour and combined with the shit sound it made for painful listening at times but for once it was the quantity and not quality that mattered."

Can anyone explain BP Fallon to me? What exactly does he do?

He ingratiates himself

 

[Cornu Ammonis]

Did he start off in a band? Was a journalist? How did he end up being his own perpetual scene? How does he always have young wans around him? What’s the deal with his eyebrows?

Dude has always seemed like a mega creep. Maybe he's not but it sure don't look like it.
He used to photograph U2 or how virgin prunes or something
