    Hiding what?

    I just put boxers and trousers over it. I don’t play hide and seek with it in centra.

    So, you don't hide that you threat people with no respect and you look down on builders. Thanks for clearing that. They were certainly laughing at you.

    I know the barista because I go there everyday at 1 pm and tip him fairly. Once he asked my name to write on the coffee cup and I asked him his for the laugh and pretended to write it on my imaginary cup and we laughed and it transpired we both liked Nick Cave.

    Cut out that sort of nonsense if you want to improve your serious person rating.

    Hold up, WTF is going on here?
    When did
    this barista talk coming to this?
    They were queuing up for a coffee machine,MACHINE.

    No barista was involved in the op story. It was in a deli with 2 machines. Jeezes

    Edit:ah I see he/she added more to the story.

    It was the old me, but I kept him on as a friend even though I turned serious because it’s hard to find people to talk about Nick Cave in real life.

    They normally say “was he the fella that did that song with Kylie”

    Makes me bite my tongue and vibrate.

    Poor barista should be given early retirement if you call every day!

    You struggle with reading comprehension. That’s ok we all’s struggle with different things. I struggle with being funny but I thrive at being serious.

    Poor Barista gets sent a stick from head office each month with the playlist on it and just throws it in the bin and plays wall to wall Nick Cave. Total Legend.

    I just hung back, making eye contact letting her know I could rescue her if the **** hit the fan. I was terrified. I think she sensed that because she just whispered to her friend and they both giggled and walked off.

    Thank God.

    I know but I would have volunteered my body to be beaten. While she made her escape.

    I was scared ****less and still willing to step in. This is what real hero’s do. 20 stone white knights don’t know fear. They arnt hero’s.

    A lot of people don’t know themselves because they only protect themselves. When you chose to protect others even though you will come out of it with a beating, only then, can you feel like a godlike figure.

    Only then are you deserving of a family. I am deserving, I’m ready I just need to meet them.

    The whole thing is based on your inability to read eye contact correctly.

    There was two. It’s a bit of a roulette when two machines are in operation. You get one guy who takes an age and blocks up one machine. So civilised people realise we are all on a lunch break with time constraints and we all que in orderly fashion and nobody will end up stuck behind some guy who can’t figure out where the large lids are. It’s common decency for your fellow man and if somebody who can help you ever sees you in jeopardy he may recall a time when you behaved like a selfish slob in a coffee que when he chooses to be brave for your benefit.

    You got a laugh earlier( and it was funny) now you are suggesting something that if I seen somebody getting slagged over at the coffee machine I would not be happy. I do not have the symptoms of autism.

    You saw the eyes of a feral dog in another human being. And that terrified you. But they never carried out the attack you anticipated. The prospective victim walked away laughing. I think you got the whole thing wrong.

    Not much can be done when a gorilla skips the queue unfortunately.

    Just the way it is. I was bemoaning my own stature the other night. But there's no solution.

    Life humiliates us all in the end. The giants got me beat, they were born as giant freaks and I wasn't, so they win. there you have it.

    Life Sucks.

    Putin is a dictator. Putin should face justice at the Hague. All good Russians should work to depose Putin. Russias war in Ukraine is illegal and morally wrong.

    When I was younger 4 or 5 of us would gang up on them but we get punished for that once we have jobs and stuff. Should there be a “he was fricking with the status quo” defence to public beatings?

    I don’t know, I’m not a lawmaker.


    If I was in a Hollywood movie I’d have made a cup of tea and tossed it in his face but in real life maybe he was just having a bad day. Maybe he was up all night in hospital with his kid or maybe his boss only gave him ten minutes for lunch. Who knows really what other people are going through. Maybe that’s why they don’t let us gather into groups of 3 and 4 and beat them in the street.

    Fair enough I suppose.

    Exactly. Nobody respects the language they speak anymore. These lads want an f ing breakfast roll with f ing red sauce. The poor deli girls look so intimidated while these grunters look down their tops as if it’s their right because they are on the customer side of the counter.
