Little things that irk you 2

Playing football not long after having a meal at Nando's - bleurgh! Still, a 1-0 victory and MotM means it's not all bad.

Smooth :P

It's not that surprising, I'm annoyingly cheery, girly and I talk too much. Which doesn't work with the kinds of guys I meet who always fall into three types (this is an irk actually so worth expanding on):

1. Athletic, "Strong and Silent"-types (boring, no conversation)
2. Aspiring doctors (smug, workaholics with superiority complexes, no sense of adventure or fun)
3. The 2010s answer to "Nathan Barley"

Why, thank you

Actually, it was partly tongue in check, and partly serious. Mainly because you seem very similar to my current girlfriend, who noted that before she met me, she would only find certain types of bloke who fell into a similarly small number of pigeonholes (although not the same ones that you list).

So while guys are not supposed to empathise with your plight, I have a reasonable idea of where you're coming from...

So true. I'm listing games on eBay in bundles so I can get around their monthly limits and then get told the most I can charge to post 7 games is ?3. And of course it has to be tracked in case I get ****ed over by Paypal.

Aww haha, some of you guys are lovely, my back-up plan for a future husband is the following post in the trade thread:

"Life-time of married bliss with reasonably attractive blonde medical student for share of decent Nintendo collection (must include boxed/mint Wind Waker, Yoshi's Island and Earthbound"

Ive dated a few doctors and they both detested their male counterparts so i dont think its just you on that front. I have those games btw, i can also raise you mint copies of shadow of the colossus in every territory, plus a business, oh and boxed mint shindu versions of n64 games, thats always an important topic when considering a partner .


Dating full stop has irked me in the last 2 years, I've either ended up meeting someone fantastic but is going back to their home country and theres no possibility of anything happening, of some crazy nut job that wants to marry me off within a week, bitches be crazy.

Copy of Layer Section got lost in the post. So I have to reimburse and sleep at night knowing there's a copy of a quality shmup floating around somewhere.

Well, you may have inadvertently introduced your postie to the joy of shmups.

My typing skills going down the crapper. I was never amazing but they seem to be getting worse as of late.

After my first whole month in Japan I had a quick accounting session and there's 130000Y unaccounted for. FFS

I fear that trying to entice young women with pristine condition Nintendo games is merely the next step from standing outside the school gates with a bag of sweeties.

Lol - i think the cracks would soon appear, if thats the best thing on offer.....

i think the cracks would soon appear

Isn't that the idea?

...not the bag of sweeties remark though.

So, apparently nothing is beneath George Osborne. The worrying part is that people seem to be becoming apathetic to the depths that the government will sink to as this type of story becomes more commonplace.
