So. You're 17, but are living away from home AND have managed to save £2K for a car?

What do you do for a living? Rob banks?
Posted by Brock, 14:06, 23rd July 2004:
 
And where are you from?

(We know you live in Berkshire/Surrey area, but is that where you come from?)
Posted by Brock, 14:07, 23rd July 2004:
 
And can you save some money for me please, cos I'm shit at it.

:(

How big are your bew-bees?
Posted by Victor Menendez, 14:21, 23rd July 2004:
 
Careful Lau, this sounds like pre-stalking preparation work.
Posted by Saltation, 14:22, 23rd July 2004:
 
no, no, i think we can safely say they're past the pre-stalking stage
Posted by Saltation, 14:23, 23rd July 2004:
 
chatrooms have grooming
forums have grimming
and then you just get the perverted little brockers who turn up everywhere (fnarr fnarr)
Posted by Brock, 14:39, 23rd July 2004:
 
And what's wrong with that, immigrant?

I don't claim to be pure.
Posted by Grim..., 14:46, 23rd July 2004:
 
Yeah, and I just asked the question that everybody wanted to know the answer to anyway.
Posted by Victor Menendez, 14:48, 23rd July 2004:
 
true
Posted by Saltation, 14:51, 23rd July 2004:
 
i never said there was anything WRONG with it, did i? merely making an observation.
Posted by lau, 17:36, 23rd July 2004:
 
Lol. I live in Blackwater which is, as I said, in between Reading and Guildford. That's the best way to descibe it, as no one ever knows where it is. Camberley, Sandhurst and Yateley are the surrounding areas.

I work in a curtain and blinds shop (Howards Blinds) in Bracknell. I don't make fabulous amounts of money, but I force myself to save in case I need it. And as I said, I regularly go without food because of it.

Any other questions?
Posted by lau, 17:42, 23rd July 2004:
 
Oh and I slightly mis-read your question. I lived in the same house (in Blackwater) all my life, til just before I turned 16. Then I moved about and stayed with friends for about 9 months in the same area, before moving in to my own place about 3 roads away from my original home.

Now saying all that, look out for bald men wearing sunglasses.
Posted by Brock, 19:51, 23rd July 2004:
 
Don't start on me, you little fuck. It's taking everything I have to respect Cal's wish to give you a break.

Don't push your luck.
Posted by su, 21:25, 23rd July 2004:
 
ooh techy Brock - oboviously he's mssing Abe
Posted by moitio, 21:45, 23rd July 2004:
 
Hey. It was Vic who started on the stalking subject, not me. ;)
Posted by su, 22:02, 23rd July 2004:
 
sugguestion moitio - Don't post anything about Brock
don't start it, don't try to finish it

it will save you years of agony
Posted by Victor Menendez, 22:22, 23rd July 2004:
 
Don't worry moitio, that Brock's a weasel-like window licker.

Etc

Etc

I think Waynes World want their joke back.
Posted by arsepuppy, 15:42, 24th July 2004:
 
hehe. Last night, when being chatted up by a Septic in a pub last night, I found myself becoming *exactly* like Del Preston off Wayne's World 2. Which is weird, since usually when I get propositioned, I become like Garth in the Kim Basinger scenes...
Posted by Brock, 15:51, 24th July 2004:
 
Did you actually get ravaged then, bumdog? Or did you manage to fuck it all up at the last minute in such a manner as to make me feel proud and able to relate to?
Posted by Victor Menendez, 15:57, 24th July 2004:
 
Did you go on and put on a great show?
Posted by arsepuppy, 05:00, 25th July 2004:
 
Nah... I still could, if I wanted to...



TBH, it feels good to have some options open, as it were. I mean, excuse my wankeredness, but a couple of weeks back, I nearly broke up with t'other half due to an incident involving her and one of my closest buds, but it's sorted now. Long story short, it was the pop that caused it, and I cannae argue with that. It's all good now, but it's nice to know that if it went a bit tits up, it won't be the end of the world, to be a bit melodramatic...

(that was a reply to brockles, btw)

On another note, I was disguted to discover that despite the fact they have upgraded Heineken to 5%, it still tastes like urine. Must Try Harder Peter Schmeichel.
Posted by Sul, 13:50, 25th July 2004:
 
Amazing Sul fact number 6 - I've always had a soft spot for a drop of Heineken. Even when it was piss weak.
Posted by Brock, 13:55, 25th July 2004:
 
That's amazing.
Posted by Sul, 14:24, 25th July 2004:
 
I know. That's why I said it was an amazing fact.
Posted by Brock, 14:39, 25th July 2004:
 
You're my hero, Sul.
Posted by Sul, 14:41, 25th July 2004:
 
No you're my hero, Brock.
Posted by su, 14:41, 25th July 2004:
 
yuck, i'd rather drink corona before heinekin
Posted by Sul, 14:42, 25th July 2004:
 
That's like eating before going swimming. Or something.
Posted by Saltation, 14:53, 25th July 2004:
 
that's an amazing observation
Posted by Brock, 15:11, 25th July 2004:
 
Get off! He's MY follower!

Posted by Saltation, 15:42, 25th July 2004:

Posted by Victor Menendez, 16:32, 25th July 2004:
 
I like that 5% Heineken.
Posted by Saltation, 19:15, 25th July 2004:
 
i like that beer thing

it's a good thing

we asked 200 little old ladies what they thought of beer and they said "I think there should be more OF it!!!"
Posted by WarHead, 00:08, 26th July 2004:
 
Was Carl Hooper in here a while ago?
Posted by Saltation, 11:04, 26th July 2004:

Posted by Victor Menendez, 11:06, 26th July 2004:

Posted by su, 12:40, 26th July 2004:
 
yeah the Stalker club had a meeting while you were away, we voted you in as president for a day.

Posted by su, 12:40, 26th July 2004:

Posted by Victor Menendez, 12:50, 26th July 2004:

Guess!!11

The one from that's amazing, of course.

Just going back to the original convo, i lived in Blackwater until i was about 2, then moved to sandhurst until about a year ago, now live in Frimley (right next to blackwater), whereabouts in blackwater lau?

I usually say i live between reading and guildford too as its so much easier.
Posted by Sul, 17:43, 26th July 2004:
 
"Where do you live?"
"Blackwater"
"Where's that?"
"Between Reading and Guildford"

Yeah, I see what you mean. That must be a bitch of a conversation to have.
Posted by Brock, 18:21, 26th July 2004:
 
Think of the sore throats, Sul.

Oh, the humanity!
Posted by lau, 18:57, 26th July 2004:
 
No. But it does get very annoying. And between Reading and Guildford could actually be quite a few place. Gah. I can't be bothered.

cruelemort: What am I meant to give you my road name? It's so small you're out of it before you know you're in it! How am I meant to say a certain part?
Posted by Brock, 19:04, 26th July 2004:
 
And they call me a stalker!
Posted by Brock, 19:04, 26th July 2004:
 
Some people call me 'The Space Cowboy'
Posted by lau, 19:20, 26th July 2004:
 
Why?
Posted by Brock, 19:56, 26th July 2004:
 
The place I worked at when I was 18 (Reynard Racing Cars) was full of pisstaking bastards. It's where I honed some of my skills. This was in 1990, the year that the Steve Miller Band re-released the track (I seem to recall it was in some advert or something).

I used to sing along to the radio a lot, and got plenty of stick for it. I made the mistake of singing along to that song, and the whole Space Cadet/Space Cowboy/waste of space piss take took off. I was then known as "Space" for about 5 years after that to the people that worked there.

There was even a "Happy Christmas to all our customers" kind of advert thing put into Autosport that year, and everyone was drawn by Jim Bamber (famous motorsport cartoonist) as a little racing driver on a big house covered in snow. Everyones names or nicknames were written on their characters crash helmets.

Mine said "Space".

Hence any danger of the nick name going died a hideous, internationally published, death.

:(

lau: it aint so small you cant give a general area (near/in the hersey estate, or beaulie gardens, or aldi etc) but dont worry, i used to live in christchurch drive, which is where they now have shit loads of tacky christmas lights as some kind of competition :)
Posted by Brock, 20:58, 26th July 2004:
 
I thought that was to celebrate another year that you hadn't come back?

Don't blame me, I read it in the Parish newsletter.
Posted by cruelemort, 21:16, 26th July 2004:
 
No its an annual ritual to try and avoid baldness.
Posted by Brock, 22:37, 26th July 2004:
 
/me moves to Blackwater

:p
Posted by lau, 23:01, 26th July 2004:
 
Christchurch has the damned best Christmas thingies ever! I go down there every year.

Beaulieu estate. But Beaulieu, Hersey and Aldi are all along the same fucking road! You can't really call them seperate areas.
