Random Thoughts

We have UberEats and Deliveroo. There's also Just Eat for takeaways and a shitloada independent ones that do McDonalds, KFC, and Bargain Booze runs, but they're expensive as fuck.
Do they jack up the prices as well as charging a delivery free in the UK too?
 
After four years of constant toothache I've finally got a dentist appointment next Thursday.

If they somehow manage to stop the pain on a permanent basis, I'm slightly concerned I may end up being less of a cunt than usual.

And it depends on the firm @SCQ

saw this theme on n4g. reminds me of shenmue... edit* ah, seems they are the same people who made the shenmue ps4 theme.

No, I waited six months for it to just fuck off on its own. Then I went to make a dentist appointment, only to remember I haven't had one since I was 12 (getting yourself a dentist isn't exactly a priority when you're still in your early 20s)

So I've essentially spent all this time on a waiting list as my face would have to swell up to "qualify" for an emergency one.

And people wonder why we have that bad teeth stereotype.

Bit late to the party but if you call NHS 24 and complain about the pain they'll give you an appointment for the University Dental Hospital of Manchester. Don't worry the tricky stuff is done by experienced lecturers with a student watching, best £20 you'll ever spend.
 
Moving crates in Shenmue II is alot more fun if you do it with your eyes closed and listen to the instructions. :)

The 111 number? I still didn't qualify. They did seem to get my arse off the waiting list somehow though.
 
Washing dishes seems like such a monumental task until the point where you actually...start doing the dishes. In which case it takes about ten to twenty minutes at most.

Also, as a secondary thought. What's the bloody point of a dishwasher if after the drying process it leaves the bottoms of mugs completely wet anyway? Nightmare.

Anyway, thanks for joining me on this dishwashing edition of random thoughts.
 
After spending my 20's eating whatever I like, often in obscene quantities and never surpassing a 32 waist, I feel somehow slighted by my body for dropping this ability in my 30's. Literally bursting clothes like a fat Hulk. Might even need actual exercise.

@Mystere If that happens to me I may as well just give up and make a massively generous organ donation to a very lucky recipient.

lol same. not really bad but i seem to only gain lower belly fat. :censored:
i do try to keep fit but being a sugar addict doesnt help.

im not fat but my goal is to lose a stone over the next few months. in my experience, being a bit lighter makes fitness easier and more enjoyable.. + Being able to out run people, really pisses them off LOL
 
I used to be fit. But then Shenmue 1&2 HD came out.
 
When reading this, did you pronounce gaol jail or gah-ol? Gah-ol right? Who’s getting it right first time?

I'm surprised, here as long as you call in the morning you're appointed same day. I've been in the situation you're in a couple of times, never again.

Agreed. Loads of shit in life is like that actually.

One way I've improved my life is addressing as much as I can right away, so much more relaxing. I don't even understand why I used to procrastinate so much, I would literally avoid sorting something out but still let it bother me.

I can relate, I love pop/soda so much and drank loads of it every day but around 3 months ago I caught a few podcasts about sugar consumption and decided to cut it out. If you're looking for a simple way to lose some weight I can speak to its efficacy.

I considered having diet/zero drinks instead but I've done that before and for me it kind of acts as a gateway back to the real stuff, I need to change my taste. I started drinking sparkling water (which I used to hate) to make mealtimes more interesting and I'm now used to no sugar in my coffee/tea, the only thing I haven't (and won't) give up is beer.
 
New PC parts are installed and I am pumped! Here are my Hardware upgrades

MSI X470 Gaming Plus Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 2700X 8-Core 16 Thread 3.7 Ghz (Was awarded Best Overall Gaming CPU of 2018 by Toms Hardware)
G.Skill Ripjaws V 16GB DDR4 3200 Frequency

Paid significantly less for the Motherboard and CPU than whats listed here, paid $100 for the Motherboard bundled with the 2700X Processor at Micro Center which was priced at $270 then paid $140 for the Ram. All of which was paired with my Radeon 7970 GPU, 120GB OCZ Vertex SSD, and 3 TB Toshiba P300 HDD (which I also bought recently), Corsair 750w power supply, alot of these items i purchased in 2012 when I originally built this machine.

I am very happy with these upgrades, This processor is an absolute beast, and most bang for the buck for anything out right now, it was a very needed upgrade over my last build which was blue screening for some unknown reason even after down grading from Windows 8.1 to 7. Took out my old AMD FX 8150 and my liquid cooling system that came with the processor and I have to say the Wraith Prism cooling system is incredibly efficient and we used some of the fans from the old liquid cooler radiator so its like a tornado of air flow inside my case now! There is a 200mm intake fan at the front keeping drives cool, a 200mm outtake fan and another 140mm outtake fan on the top and a 120mm intake fan at the rear plus the built in fans on the Processor and my Graphics Card.

I upgraded my OS to Windows 10 finally and later upgrades will include a new GPU and M.2 SSD in a couple years, but this upgrade gets me stable and while I didnt really buy this for gaming, its more than capable now, but this new CPUs strongest area is Workstation power due to all the threads and high processing speed (it can be over clocked to 4.3) which I am going to need as I begin my journey of content creation, which was the main focus of these upgrades surprisingly, just it will also be able to game just fine, so its the best of both worlds. HYPE!

Seems like each time I order a new pair of trainers the laces are either comically long, or stupidly short. The latest pair I got fall into the "These laces are so long that I could form a makeshift rope to climb a castle with" long.
 
I'm not the grammar nazi I once was, but it still baffles the fuck outta me how people seem to get "your" and "you're" wrong so damn consistently. It's like they do it intentionally at this point.
