Adam Easy Wishes Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 There are loads in town that have the twirly cone. It's a treat when you find it, just have a feel. I normally look first though, just in case there's chewing gum or razorblades or razorblades stuck on with chewing gum. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattJimF Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 Are you, like, Cool Thinker - Traffic Division? If so, which ones in Aberdeen have the twirly button on the bottom? I've yet to find one.Good article about them here - http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/blogs-ouch-22706881 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ca_gere Posted June 6, 2013 Report Share Posted June 6, 2013 I always press the button with my knuckle to avoid germs. You know, coz extending my finger would cause me to instantly contract aids. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gypsum_Fantastic Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 People shaking me down for charity at work. Then saying oh we accept IOU's. Then also laughing when I go to check my balance online first. Yeah it's hilarious that I have no money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 (edited) That Santander advert with the overly-zealous sportsmen using trespassing and harassment as bullyboy marketing. There's something really eerie about Rory Mcilroy, don't you think? He just stares at them with completely dead eyes, waffles some line about savings accounts, then nonchalantly steals their food, all whilst looking he is under the command of a spell or a remote control. It's weirdly hypnotic, but also really shit too. Edited June 7, 2013 by Joda Serk 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted June 7, 2013 Report Share Posted June 7, 2013 The T Junction at the top of Market Street has them.I saw a programme about germs recently, and pedestrian crossing buttons have more germs on them than toilets apparently, so there's no way I'm touching one of those spinning buttons of death again.I saw that as well, it pretty much put me off ever touching anything ever again.

Sports stars that earn millions telling normal people they can save a few % with different cards / savings accounts just doesn't seem right. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Without fail, the last few days spent before going on holiday are fucking mental. Too much stress trying to get things finished off at work so it doesn't get handed to someone else who'll just ignore it for two weeks then hand it back untouched to you on your return. Plus there's all the last minute details for the holiday itself. Argh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fertuiee Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Miranda Hart, Jesus. I'm sure there is many a comedian / comedienne who have made a living from a lot less than falling over opportunity, but I'm sure I laughed more. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stroopy121 Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 I liked The Notebook, but I really don't think he was that great in it. Not a BAD performance by any means, but not exactly life-changing. I also think he was FUCKING TERRIBLE in Drive. xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 My flatmate is supposed to be starting a job in a clothes shop tomorrow, they told her while she's at work she can only wear clothes from that shop, whole outfit, right down to the shoes, and it has to be the decent stuff, not the sale/cheap stuff. Kinda like advertising their clothes. Mad part is, she has to pay for it all herself. And it isnt a cheap shop. Does that seem off to anyone else? Is that normal in clothes shops?

Don't know why I haven't seen Drive yet. He's no Ryan Reynolds though *swoon*. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty normal in most clothes shops like Next etc from what I remember. They get a discount on it though usually, and usually a pretty hefty discount at that. It's also really good business sense as people get to see the clothes on actual humans and not mannequins.

I've never heard of the practice before. Seems a bit crooked to me. She said she has to drop like 80 quid on an outfit before she's even earned any money off them.

Friend of mine worked in Burtons and Topshop and had to wear clothes from there, but once every few months or so he got something ridiculous like a 75% discount for buying a "uniform". Seems like bullshit having to pay full price! xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soda Jerk Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Door to door charity beggars. They make you feel like an unrelenting mega bastard for saying no. Infact I had to say no 3 times. Now I feel like a cunt. I hate myself. Life is pain. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just make up a story about how i sponsor a kid in africa (whatever is applicable) despite it meaning that I have little or no money left for myself. It's all lies though, I have all the cash.
