Gibberings: CXXII: The Eternal Conversation

[Myshkin]

If someone said to you "If I wasn't such a mess, I'd ask you out" what would you say, the someone is me thinking about saying it over facebook chat to a girl I like but I don't think I'm ready to ask anyone out yet. Need some womens input here.

I'm not a woman, but I can tell you now that isn't the way to go about doing anything other than scuppering your chances.

Think about it - if you think you're a mess, what are they supposed to do? Save you? Do they deserve a mess as a boyfriend? Does anybody?

Some people may well want to 'save' you, but they're very, very rare indeed, and most of the time it's entirely on their own terms. Most will hear that and run a mile, as harsh as that may sound. And it does sound harsh, I know. That's the way it goes though.

I've never actually seen a Doberman in real life, weirdly.

I've seen three Doberman's. Up close and personal. Was many years ago when playing "Cherry Door Knocking" (childhood pasttime of knocking doors and legging it - goes under many names). Was one particular door that was notorious cos it had one of those oldskool doorbells that you had to twist which took longer than most doors and was loud as fuck. Plus the house was old by a proper miserable auld bastard (no doubt more miserable due to incessant door knocking by bloody kids :D). Was my turn one afternoon and the fucker was lying in wait. Door flew open, three big bastard Dobermans came barreling out. Three kids scattered and ran for dear life. Don't like Dobermans

That aside, morning all

Is bastard freezing this morning

But codeine countdown has begun. Some inner-warmth within the next coupla hours. Woot!

(getting so excited over some bleedin' codeine. oh how the mighy have fallen)

Hey Farmaz, hows things down your neck of the woods?

Very woody
Bloody cold tbh, just got off my course thank god but I ma getting messed about trying to score sadly. I got to take a 40 min bus ride to pick up 1 bag but it's pay day so I think I will

The missus is pissed off she had a chip pan fire last night & she used water to put it out
Got savage burns on her hand & needs to get some skingraft sadly, I said linda mccartney & Captain Birdseye would not approve of serving fried fingers to people & now she is pissed off even more.

For real? That's pretty awesome. I've never actually seen a Doberman in real life, weirdly. Saw my first Dachshund the other day and started giggling at it uncontrollably. How you doin today anyways Farmaz?

I set a bucket on fire by mistake (long story) & the dog woke me up & pulled me off the seat.
We had 3 Pinchers to look after the house as we lived in a rough area (2 bitches & 1 male)
IMO they are the best dogs & very smart, I taught the one to "dance" it would jump from paw to paw while barking & would also do a dog "smile" when you gave it food.

The Rabbit had the snip yet?.......

EDIT - Burn

We are already good friends and she knows about me getting treatment. I am not trying to ask her out, just trying to find out whether if I was sorted I would have a chance.

Morning folks

Mental Kenny is coming back soon

"Wicked will be back in the next week or so, job thing didn't work out for the time being, I might get hired full time in March, but I have to leave the country as my visa is expiring on the 15th and I already renewed it once. They don't fuck around with visa violations round these parts"

Which shit hole did he manage to find himself in?

Well you're going the wrong way about it, trust me. As sensible an idea as it may seem to you right now, she's likely to just think it's odd at best, needy at worst.

Even worse still, she might feel some kind of pressure given your current situation and (this is very worst case) believe that you're using it as leverage in some kind of manipulation, consciously or otherwise.

Maybe now isn't the time, eh?

You aint the only person Shambles
The school was next to us & it was full of Loud mouthed Asian "gangsters"
They always climbed into our garden to get the ball etc, one day the dogs were in the garden & some wanna be "rude boi" climbed over into the dogs garden, I never seen a person run that fast, he climbed up a tree for safety as the dogs were going to bite his ass.

We just sat in the house & laughed at him as he began to scream for help
None of his "Crew" came to help him, Pinchers are soft dogs but my advice is NEVER go into THEIR garden or fuck them about, you will get your face bitten off very quick.

 

[Mugz]

maybe not, was just chatting with her about rehabs and things and she said she thought it would be good for me, and she does want to hang out a lot, I dunno. I'm more of a need to get something off my chest asap person, but I think I'll let this one wait till at least Friday night when we are going out, with her brother and friends.

 

[farmaz]

Which shit hole did he manage to find himself in?

U.A.E.
I think Qatar or Dubai

 

[Arnold]

Shit hole indeed.

 

[Ben So Furry]

The end is nigh!

Well the end of your phone signal anyway, haven't they been saying this for years?

 

[farmaz]

Shit hole indeed.

He is worried to come here or use Proxy due to the laws in the UAE, I don't blame him though.
Any hint of general debauchery they would lock you up for 1,000 years over there.

Look what happened to Grooverider when he went to the UAE!!!!

[Mailmonkey]

I have had them arrive cracked and leaking before. But so have the drugs i have delivered aswell, so they might be just as likely to find themselves tripping or on fire, or both. Dangerous job, delivering letters.

Most dangerous job in the world. Fact.

Morning farmaz. Good about Kenny coming back. Bad about that nasty burn.

Mugz, listen to this ^

and this ^

and morning, afternoon even Myshkin

 

[farmaz]

Thanks MM

I think my comment was slack tbh, she didn't see the funny side of it but what kind of idiot puts a oil fire out with water?........Well I guess my missus
I told her she was lucky she didn't burn her whole face off.

 

[Shambles]

The end is nigh!

Well the end of your phone signal anyway, haven't they been saying this for years?

Oh it will happen. Is inevitible at some point. Just nobody has a clue when it will happen. Last time was about a century ago and managed to fry most of the electronic cables and telegraphs or whatever the fuck they had at the time in many places. Same thing happening today at that intensity would totally screw communications and power and stuff at a stroke more or less. When, not if. Just depends when the next "Big One" happens to fire our way.

 

[Mugz]

hmm MM and M I thank thee for the advice

 

[Mailmonkey]

oh god, back out to finish my round.

sun is shining, but very hung over still....booze is the hardest drug to cope with next day, even after a decent sleep.

 

[Myshkin]

and morning, afternoon even Myshkin

I thought RM tried to erase the distinction between morning and afternoon in all their prospective employees as part of the training process?

Afternoon!

 

[farmaz]

oh god, back out to finish my round.

I am out for a while, the "Super strength Codeine" is calling sadly.

"I got a monkey on my back the size of King Kong" as someone far more famous than me said many years ago

I only been messing such a small bit but I am sure once you got hooked even a small dabble brings you right back.

I've seen three Doberman's. Up close and personal. Was many years ago when playing "Cherry Door Knocking" (childhood pasttime of knocking doors and legging it - goes under many names)

Ooh, they are scary looking bastards, don't blame you. We got chased by sheep once, the local college had a working farm and we ended up stumbling into it whilst off our tits. Also it was knock a door run here and my housemates still play it when they're pissed. Was terrified of Mrs Snolly's dog cos he's a Staffy, didn't realise they ain't evil by nature, it's just the hard looking cunts that train them to be mad. Daft thing wouldn't hurt a fly, and he has the gayest bark ever

The Rabbit had the snip yet?.......

EDIT - Burn

Oh god, dancing dogs, got a proper soft spot for them haha. They are fucking good at knowing when summat's up, missus' dog came to get me when the daft cow fell down the stairs. She does that more than I'd like but it's starting to become hilarious. Must be sorta cool having three dogs, don't think I could man it though, enough trouble with rabbit. And yeah she had the snip yesterday, was fucking funny watching her monged out afterwards. She's all cool now tho, just don't like not being able to let her out

Edit: Fucking hell, that is some nasty burn, musta wrecked
