BagOfCrisps 24 Posted December 20, 2006 Share Posted December 20, 2006 What a fool. You wonder what thoughts are going through a brain like that. There must be other treasures in there. Anyone else here the conversation? Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted December 21, 2006 Share Posted December 21, 2006 Packages that are almost impossible to open. Case - a numeric pad I bought for my notebook. The edges of the packages were still plastic all the way round, the only way to get in was to bring the scissors in. Even then, it was a struggle. Link to post Share on other sites

Mantas 3 Posted December 24, 2006 Share Posted December 24, 2006 My nanna used make a great christmas cake.. She would mix coins through it. Great novilty when you were a kid, but thinking back now of sucking on those grubby old coins is kind of gross! Link to post Share on other sites

sunrise 0 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Quote: Originally posted by Creek Boy: got told this on the bus today: j-man: why are you looking at that book in Japanese? me: I enjoy reading in Japanese j-man: so you like looking at all the japanese characters eventhough you dont know what they mean? how stupid you are. me: what? why cant foreigners read in Japanese? Some Japanese can speak/read English right? J-man: yes, thats because we're smarter than gaijin. You gaijin arent smart enough to learn our difficult language are you? me: I just had a conversation with you in Japanese didnt I? Look, if you have nothing intelligent to say then speak to the window - this book is much more interesting than you. j-man: he continues to babble on saying derogatory stuff bout gaijin. me: continued the start of a good book was like something outta a comicbook. Odd how some people think like that eh Some people I know made a short film which included a spoof about that very type of conversation minus the book. In the film the J salaryman is talking to an American guy condescendingly and the conversation is all in Japanese and the J-guy, like you're guy here, didn't seem to even realise the gaijin could speak J and how fluent the gaijin was at it.

fukdane 2 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 My g/f just finished writing 200 (200! ) of the things. She said at least 50 were for people "she doesn't really like that much". That conversation soon fell apart and I decided to change the subject for the sake of a good new year mood Link to post Share on other sites

dale#1 1 Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 She sounds it. Wow, 200. That would drive me nuts. I see the number of those things being sent is declining by a fair % each year. Link to post Share on other sites
fukdane 2 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 This has irritated me for a while. When I'm using the internet (ADSL) and the phone rings, the connection gets cut. Only sometimes. And I can't work out why it does it only sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites

sweetaz 0 Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 chicks who speak with a "baby-ish" voice to try and be cute in order to say something inappropriate with out copping backlash. it's just not right....the hackles come up immediately. that, and people leaving empty boxes containers in the fridge/cupboard...so you think there's still some of whatever left only to find...Nup!

lin 0 Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I don't like that either. It is the opposite of sexy. I sometimes leave an empty Pringles tube in the cupboard. It's so the girlfriend doesn't realise I've eaten them all in one day. I'll leave it there for 3 or 4 days to make it seem more reasonable and less pig-like. Link to post Share on other sites

fukdane 2 Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Ah yes. She's not that big, perhaps you are thinking of someone else. Longish blond hair - and does flick it a lot - Brit accent. Southern All Stars annoy me. Link to post Share on other sites
