Barca Atletico on the last day looks promising

 

I think this is the first time I've actually experienced the joy of having a bank holiday off as a working man.

 

Bank Holidays are brilliant when you're working full time.

I miss them.

 

There's one in about 55 minutes mate.

 

I'm gonna be so excited for bank holidays. If I can ever get a job. My aspiration is, 6 months from now, to be doing what Joe's doing.

 

Copying me isn't always smart. For example you don't want to end up in a friends-with-benefits relationship you can't enjoy because you kinda love her friend, who happens to be your best mate's girlfriend. Don't do that.

But yeah, the temp work is advisable. That's one thing I've probably done right.

 

Ooooooooooooooooh **** that's pretty awful. Sorry to hear about that man, at least getting regular tail is something to kind of distract you?

If I struggle with knowing what to do on that I'll probably send you a PM in a few months crying and begging for advice on how to get into it, sorry in advance.

 

Remember when I mentioned a while back about my mate and his girlfriend having issues, and also she'd been kinda overly friendly when drunk? Yeah, same people. The three of us hang out multiple times a week. We used to live together. This ain't good. Then again I defy any guy to meet her and not get a little bit obsessed with her. It can't just be me.

You need to find a good agency. The one that gets me all the jobs is great, but it's the only great one in the area it seems. I've met another guy who temps with them too and he thought the exact same thing. It can feel hopeless when you visit agency after agency and none are any help, but just try all of them. If you want to look at my agency's website just for an idea of what to look for, it's here: http://www.reddoorrecruitment.co.uk

 

Former British tennis #1 Elena Baltacha has died, aged 30.

 

Is she the player who used to play in constant pain..?

Any details yet, DTLW..?

EDIT: Found out. She was diagnosed with liver cancer some time ago. Some people are susceptible to it. She was one of those. As you say, aged 30.

 

It'd be a lot worse if you were still living together though, at least? I suppose it's not an option (assuming their issues haven't completely disappeared) to wiggle your way in, break them up and slither in for yourself. I've never been in a situation like that myself thankfully, hope you're able to find a way to cope with it soon, even if it's just finding multiple friends-with-benefitses and shagging your problems away. I assume your mate has no idea?

That's the plan then, try as many as I can. Thank you though - I assume you're earning enough doing it to pay the rent and feed yourself?

 

Yeah he has no idea. He's been my closest mate for about 11 years and no way is he ever gonna know. They've been going out for three years and he will probably propose soon. I'm not wrecking that ****. I suppose I could work my way through some more of her friends. Met another one tonight and she was a bit of alright.

And yeah, I suppose I earn enough but I have savings to fall back on as well, so I dunno if I would be socialising as much as I do otherwise. The important thing is the experience on the old CV.

 

Very sad news. I remember seeing her on the outside courts when I was at Wimbledon last year, and am sad to see her go so soon. 30 is no age at all. Cancer really is awful.

 

Man, it keeps sounding worse. If they're still having these problems then I'd hope they're thinking carefully about getting married considering how young they are and all. But yeah I'd definitely recommend continuing to shag your way around anything that gives you attention - I assume there's probably someone older reading this who has some kind of comparable situation in their past though.

Yeah fair enough - any kind of experience would do me. It's looking like I'll have about two grand left after I'm done with uni which isn't enough to live on for too long, at least I'm in the habit of living cheap.

 

whatever you do Joe, just don't be joseph fiennes

edit: i mean andrew lincoln, don't be andrew lincoln

 

Have you told her how you feel?

 

On the subject of relationships, I've had an odd scenario in the past: I was with a girl who I was kind of forced into going out with by her best friend - I'd only known the girl for a few days. I never really had feelings for her, but I did get some feelings for her best mate...but she was in a relationship...with a girl. She's a lesbian!

 

.

 

Um, **** no. Sometimes when she's had a couple of drinks I don't know how she feels. She spends all night clinging onto me and talks about sex a hell of a lot. Tonight she was telling me about her porn addiction. Wednesday's conversation was a lot more X rated. We're close enough that she doesn't seem to mind taking her clothes off in front of me, and she will jump at any chance to take her clothes off. These are things which are not helping. Nothing is going to happen though, so no point saying anything and risking this weird friendship we've got going on, and potentially making things very weird with my best mate as well.

 

Either tell her how you feel or if you think that will cause too much **** tell her to cut out the head messing. I hate girls that just want attention so do anything possible to get it. she isn't right messing with your head like she is, if as you say you like her a lot she will know this anyways. That's why she is doing this crap.
