So today I found out this awesome girl I've been interested in off and on for about 3 years now has a boyfriend. I also learned that she was interested in me, which makes me feel like an gigantic idiot for not making how I felt more clear.

I also learned that I share my birthday with Shaq, which is awesome.

Is it all McDonalds where you have to shave because I'm pretty sure I know and have seen people work there with beards

Probably just a franchise owner or manager who doesn't like beards. I doubt it's corporate policy.

15 is legal in many places (including the one I am writing this post from) and it's not unheard of for girls that age to look several years older than their actual age, teens also sneak into nightclubs, pubs and similar places where a Premiership footballer might hit on them, unaware of their age.

Basically, I am not going to crucify someone for having consensual sex with a 15-year-old, at least not based on the information available right now.

Now if it turns out to be non-consensual that's an entirely different matter.

I can't sleep. Feel tired and my eyes are ready to punch out but I just can't fall asleep, even in a quiet dark room.

Couldn't last night either, was awake until 7 in the morning before I finally fell asleep.

Does anyone have the link to the archive of old games that you can play online, someone posted it a while back with the Championship Manager on it but it also had like Prince of Persia etc

The post with the link is still on the first page.

The Internet Archive Software Library.

Anyway, I gave up on making an actual list, but it's probably #2 or #3 of 2014 for me. Has to be the best Swedish film since the 80s.

Force Majeure is brilliant, Franck. Why haven't you even mentioned it in here.

I think I posted my review here when I watched it?

Might've forgot.

Anyways... feeling a bit shit lately. I'm turning 25 this year and at the moment my life isn't quite what I'd thought it would be like growing up. I still live with my parents, should have finished my bachelor's degree one year ago - won't finish it until the end of 2015 minimum. Looking back it was a hasty and not a very wise move to begin on that program. I still haven't got around to take the driver's license, got £25.000 in student debt and about a month ago I fucked up with this girl I really thought I was going to marry one day. Oh, and I didn't mention that I haven't saved up a penny for me to get a loan from the bank to buy a place for myself one day (which will put me in even more debt too).

Life's a bitch, eh? Compared to all those billions living in poverty, hunger and any other struggles I'm not affected by as I'm living in one best countries in the world in terms of standard of living, I probably shouldn't complain... but in my situation in my environment it damn sucks.


Could be worse mate, you could be me!

Also, does anyone else on here use Letterboxd? Really cool social media site for films.

Yes.

Tell me your username so I can stalk you. Or just follow me. Either of them works.

I'll indulge you, ya cunt.

What did you think of the ending?

I really haven't thought that much about the ending, I think the real greatness of the film was in the journey to get there.

I think on the whole the superpower-angle serves as a metaphor for the magical powers of acting and drama, how they allow us to escape the realities of our world. Riggan thinks he's capable of levitation, flight and telekinesis when his real magical ability is spellbinding an audience. I think the ending plays out the way it does to keep the audience from assuming that Riggan is mentally ill, if it ends with Riggan standing on the ledge everyone will just come to the conclusion that he's schizophrenic, by adding the final scene with his daughter looking out the open window they add ambiguity that forces the audience to think about what they've just seen and gives more depth to Riggan's struggle.

This thread was so much better when Abbott and Dutton still posted and the Platypus actually bothered to write more than just one-liners.

I meant why don't you quit on your own, if it's so obvious that your boss wants to sack you?

Yes, how horrible of him to be ambitious.

I doubt Everton fans shed many tears when players from clubs further down the football food chain join them because they are a "big club".

Accountant.


Basically January is an extremely busy period, where there is a massive backlog to be done. And now it's after January, I reckon he will get rid of me and hire someone in September.

Is there anything preventing you from telling your boss to go fuck himself?

Bottom club to get about £99m. The gulf between the leagues is about to get fucking huge

FFP isn't going to last for very long.
