Who are these XBL ponces of which you people speak?

[toythatkills]

Superkaylo and that other one. Mr Pointy Head? Is that them?

They do the "sentuamessage" thing on XBL, you'll find it on the dash under Spotlight or Inside Xbox, somewhere. You'll know them because when you see them you'll roll your eyes and go "FFS."

Literally, you'll say those letters out loud.

Ha ha yeah thats the little f*ckers. I remember that at 1 time they looked so similar with their metrosexual clothes & preened hair that I thought they were twins.

Cockroaches. The place where we live is infested with them. Our room is tidy, but the rest of the condo isn't, and the keep coming in. We've even got them in our wardrobe.

I've gone from being ****-scared of them to them just becoming damn annoying. This weekend it's war! I'm doing everything in my power to repel them from our room for good... Nets, drought excluders, boric acid, the lot.

Those 2 ponces on Xbox LIVE really get on my nerves. Just hate the whole metrosexual look they & almost everyone I see seems to pocess these days. Used to be just teenagers who used to follow this sheeplike trend, but u even see idiots up to their 30's dressed & styled like peacocks. Get some individuality ffs!!
Also people who wear those cafcan/scarves, & also wear them with t-shirts, indoors or in the hot weather. You look like tw4ts!!

I agree with everything said here. Luckily there isn't anybody like that here, or chav types either.

You're not metrosexual if you put "product" in your hair, you're metrosexual if you call it "product".

Urban Dictionary provides further expansion:

1. You just can't walk past a Banana Republic store without making a purchase.

2. You own 20 pairs of shoes, half a dozen pairs of sunglasses, just as many watches and you carry a man-purse.

3. You see a stylist instead of a barber, because barbers don't do highlights.

4. You can make her lamb shanks and risotto for dinner and Eggs Benedict for breakfast... all from scratch.

5. You only wear Calvin Klein boxer-briefs.

6. You shave more than just your face. You also exfoliate and moisturize.

7. You would never, ever own a pickup truck.

8. You can't imagine a day without hair styling products.

9. You'd rather drink wine than beer... but you'll find out what estate and vintage first.

10. Despite being flattered (even proud) that gay guys hit on you, you still find the thought of actually getting intimate with another man truly repulsive.

Missing important eBay auctions.

I was watching an auction for a faulty radio for my car(to check whether mine is faulty or not, with a different issue) that ended 13:45 today. I set my alarm for 13:00 to give me plenty of time to get ready. Alarm went off, but I didn't jump on the nearest PC and place a bid. Instead I figured I'd just wait until it got closer because I have ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD.

What was the ending price?



Now I'll have to bid on a working one which will most likely be closer to ?100. Worse, I may find out mine is actually fine, in which case I'd have to then go through the hassle of selling the eBay one. And, as you know, stuff you try to sell on NEVER ends anywhere close to what you paid for it, because all the opportunists who outbid you earlier have got bored by now.

Every time this happens I promise myself I'll bid on the next item a day or so before instead of just watching it, so I'll get the outbid notices or actually win it.

If this exact thing hasn't happened to every single person on the forum, I'll be surprised.

Stripping cheap and nasty controller screws.

Current irk is the smell from the garage cannabis factory next to my house. Must setup a webcam incase the plod raid it.

I'd be raiding it myself.

Sunday is when I get chance to clean up and lay my own home-made cockroach bait down which will cause a digestive chain reaction in their colony, hopefully killing every last one off. I feel like Ripley.

They can learn to avoid the bait after a while, so I have various recipes lined up if I have to deal with this again.

I gave the mrs. a bollocking last night for leaving her **** all over the floor after getting back from work as I can't spot them if they have a theme park laid out. Later on I was getting ready for bed and noticed her bag left on the floor - "FFS, I did warn her, if cockroaches want to move in there then fine" I thought angrily as I switched off the light... on the way back to the bed, literally 2 seconds later, one of the little ****ers scuttled across the floor right into it. I **** you not it was like the situation manifested itself right out of my thoughts. I did the right thing though and got rid of it, whilst bollocking her again. It's good to be right.

Wow, where do you live?

[Nocturne]

Please keep us updated on the chronicles of man vs cockroach, it amused me more than it probably should have :]

When I have my heart set on doing something, only to find out I can't. This morning I woke up with the sudden urge to get back into BlazBlue, only to find that PSN was still down, so I couldn't download the CS II patch.

Cannabis is one of the smells I loathe the most. It stinks and the smell takes an age to go away.
