    The Beatles were 40 years ago guys. Let it go.

    No. I refuse to accept this as a justification for people saying "Omg, I don't know who Paul McCartney but Kanye just gave this guy a career"




    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH :mad:

    In 40 years, Harry Styles will collaborate with Bleep-Bloop-XJ6 and all the kids then will be saying "Aw cool! We haven't seen an actual human singer in a while! So nice of Bleep-Bloop to include a fading relic in his new song.", and all the people who don't know who McCartney is now will be up in arms. And the cycle shall continue until the end of time.

    I submit to you that The Beatles were sh*te 40 years ago and still are.

    So the outrage is exactly the same then?

    How can NONE of you have seen frozen....I can't discuss my controversial opinion (controversial as everyone I divulge this opinion to generally replies with a gasp and a "I cant even" .....I need less basic bítches as friends :pac:)

    Cute moral great characters good music....story is flawed and boring

    That is all you need to know

    I've heard a few of the songs on the radio, and they make my ears bleed.

    Everything I've heard about the film makes it sound like standard Disney guff like that tripe Up.

    My Sister is drunk snapchatting me. She just turned seventeen last week so the folks are leaving her off the leash a bit. Kind of cool. She's growing up. Fighting the urge to be the overbearing big brother, telling her about Drinking responsibly and the like. Guess I kind of have to though. She's pretty funny with drink in her.

    If a girl in your circle's go to compliment when your being funny or chatting or whatever is
    "You're adorable" or "you're so cute"
    Would you take that as a sign that there's no real point in ever even attempting anything.

    Cute is for puppies. Granted a "youre handsome" isn't a response you'd expect from a joke but cute just seems dismissive.

    I feel like its taken up a lot more condescending and dismissive than its intended to be..
    I dont think its v telling as to whether she says yea to you or not

    Was watching that too! I love that episode because of the ending where they both have flashbacks. It's those moments of true tenderness and love that define early Simpsons series for me.

    The cute thing usually comes when you're over-doing it with the jokes and chat, generally playing court jester, as a thin veneer lain over your secret liking for someone or some other anxiety you have. The cliché that women like a sense of humour has validity - everyone likes a sense of humour, but no-one really likes a dose of it. Unfortunately, you can overdo it until you become a pleasant diversion or an annoyingly frivolous conversational prospect. Women/people are seriously attracted to neither of these qualities.

    Save up that comedic genius for one or two big hitters, then be a sincere friend and interlocutor the rest of the time. You'll get to know her better, be able to gauge how she feels towards you more accurately, and then find out that she was calling you cute and complimenting you because she wanted to set a lonely friend of hers up with you the entire time and that's fine because it's exactly what you wanted and won't make you feel at all like the lust-wracked wereloser that you are when you stop wanting to be friends with her.

    Have you ever had to psyche yourself up for a really difficult conversation that you know you absolutely have to have.?

    So I ordered books from Book Depository on the 6th of December.

    Three books I had ordered hadn't arrived by 22nd of December (well longer than the 4 days they said it would take). Contacted customer service, they dispatched replacement copies.

    On the 23rd, an envelope arrived containing two copies of one of the books I'd ordered.

    Monday morning, the last two books I was missing arrived.

    This morning, another envelope arrived containing all the books again.

    So I now have four copies of one book, and two copies of two others.



    So, my moral dilemma is, do I return the extras or just sell/gift/give them away?

    I had the same with books off ebay before. Turned out the seller had claimed off insurance for an undelivered item. Just told me to keep both.

    Ultimately it's all their fault for sending more than once. F*ck em, keep them. :P

    I'd gift them away. 1 your doing a good deed 2. Not being held responsible for making any profit should they ask. Give them to the local library or something

    I couldn't be bothered finding the purchases thread.

    My faithful Ativ S has been giving trouble over the Christmas period and today was sort of the straw that broke the metaphorical camel's back because it switched itself on and off about 15 times in a 4 hour period causing me to have to input my PIN each time.

    So I bought this from Spanish Amazon...

    61O1T4KqSHL._SL1138_.jpg51dngIYo%2BHL._SL1115_.jpg

    The Sony Z2, 3GB RAM, a 20MP camera. Now if only I had things to take photos of!

    Bit disappointed to be leaving Windows Phone for Android again, but I couldn't justify buying a Lumia when I would have had to buy an Android phone eventually for testing purposes.
