FoxesAreBlue

Indeed.

This is my old Springer when I was at home. As you can see he's the worst guard dog in the world but god I miss him, I make it clear to my family that I only return to Leicester to see lcfc and the dog (and have a free dinner).

-ing criminal.

I never went to Uni, but I did recently move away from Leicester/mates/family etc to work elsewhere. So I can kind of empathise with the lonely feeling at times. The key to it is to keep yourself busy. Particularly at uni where you are still young and most likely studying with other like minded people so (in theory) it might be easier to meet them. Whatever you do, DON'T make your lectures be the only time you leave your room. Find a hobby, play a sport, invite your course-mates round for a drink/food, read a load of books, find a bird etc... Find something to occupy your mind with to allow it to be distracted from the course and relax. Even if it involves learning a new skill like a language or something. For me, living alone in a new town was/is difficult (I've been here 4 months). I'm lucky in that I work in a customer facing job so meet a lot of people through work but my other method is to walk into the pub, chuck a pound on the pool table and offer to play the winner. Instant conversation and the night is sorted. You have to pick your audience as you don't want to be playing the local thugs/pissheads. I'm not saying is 100% successful, or that the same would work for you but I can now go to the boozer and I know the regulars and can have a chat etc By the way I'm no expert on this, that's just what I do.

More impressive than what looks like dog meat stew that I've just fished out of the slow cooker.

Everyday I want to come round yours for dinner.

Well that was short

Nice dogs! Coming to Leics for the game today so will pop into my mums too see the dog (actual dog, not the old dear). Love taking him out.

Thankfully not. Incompetent and clueless maintenance contractors who are so bad a bullshitting that even why you call them on it and provide proof that what they're saying is bullshit, continue with their line of thought. I hear so much bullshit everyday it's unbelievable.

The world is full of bellends. That is all.

That's a step up, I'm usually called a cvnt.

Again, brilliant!

Brilliant

Just out of interest... Does anybody hold/training for the PPL or above? I was back in '08-09 but unfortunately the money ran out and then life got in the way, then I kind of forgot about it. But recently, i've picked up the bug again. Probably because I work on the short finals to a large airport and I get bizjets and boeings going past the window everyday. Although the cash still isn't there (thanks mortgage) I'm still trying to figure a way of earning a bit extra to get my ass back up in the air, the bad news is I sold all my gear years ago so would need a new headset, bag, books, charts, computer etc. (Appreciate this is probably, slightly, the wrong thread but I'm not expecting it to go far so hopefully it's acceptable rather than start a new one)

This. I work in a gym.

Didn't sleep till about 2am. Started work at 6. Finish at 8. Today is going to be a test.

And even if you did you'll spend the rest of your days looking over your shoulder.

Sorry, you must have me mistaken, I'm Scott of the Antarctic.

I believe he survived and now runs a b&b in Bridlington. By all accounts, life worked out just fine for him in the end.

Very nearly went to the pub. Then remembered that I'm not drinking this month. Now I'm bored.

I looks immense, well done. This is from someone who can't even cook a sandwich.

Feel like shit and city are losing

Ah apologies if you did Ken, I hadn't seen it. I use the mobile FT skin so unfortunately I never know if/when I get repped ether!

Being a bit of an aviation fan I like this story. It's capped of by the police saying that they're not sure what they'll charge him with but they'll find something! http://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2014/nov/03/australian-man-drives-plane-down-main-street-drink-pub?CMP=fb_gu

Back track of the year there!
