    For a second I thought he was saying they were monsters, but no, I think he's referring to them dressing up in tone-deaf costumes, like Prince Harry's Nazi.

    My guess is that it's because no-one's relatives were murdered by the creatures from Where the Wild Things Are.

    Fresher's week is over, and I spent most of it in my room (and the rest going to fire-safety talks and orientation lectures), thank you very much. :)

    I have two First World Whinges. The first is that I have had lectures in the psychology building, the biology building, the geography building and even a formal function room. Is it too much to ask that a history lecture be in the history building? What was the point of showing us where it is?!

    The second is that I am listening to the beautiful song "Sound of the Underground", the song with which Girls Aloud won a reality TV series in 2002. I scroll down the comments and it's full of teenagers going "Oh, this random group on X Factor absolutely smashed it, it's so much better than the original, this drivel's so boring and autotuned!" Right, first off, Girls Aloud released an enduringly popular song more than fifteen years ago and went on to release five albums and get three entries in The Guinness Book of World Records, as well as providing the soundtrack to my childhood and the end theme to my favourite film. It's been three years since that particular series of X Factor and that group didn't even make the finals (I don't think, they came fifth, don't know how many groups go into the finals, I think it's three) and have not troubled the British charts as far as I can see. Where's your precious 4th Impact now, huh?

    Because Odyssey was released today, the Ubisoft server was acting up and it wouldn't save my pictures. ;_;

    My coworkers are both talking about religion and how important it is to them.

    It's more annoying than anything and I'm glad I'm not being engaged in this conversation.

    My packet of jelly babies was very unevenly packaged. The vast majority were pale ones, and my taste buds got bored! :pity:

    I got one, that I'm positive many of us can relate to or at one point could relate to.

    The corporate world, giant companies that not only snuff out smaller competition, family-owned businesses and startups. But collect and sell their customers data for an extra buck.

    And they do all this while proclaiming they care about their customers and their employees. When anyone with a half a brain knows is all full of shit.

    And let's not forget they're little Union puppets, to trick employees in the thinking they have a voice. Unions that don't do jack shit except steal money from your paycheck.

    We have lap dog managers, greedy fat CEOs and a population to weak or two trapped to do anything about it.

    The time is quickly approaching for me to get the fuck out of a retail. However, There Is No Escape from corporate world

    I'm short thick 90% merino wool socks.

    Can there be a bigger disaster than being short of thick grey merino wool socks?

    Well you might want to restock, since you can't help eating them. :p

    Just three socks? Where does the third one go? :)

    Princess Eugenie got married today and guess who didn't get the day off lectures to watch it! I had to content myself with looking at the photos. Her dress was gorgeous, but it's a pity it hasn't got as much attention as Harry and Meghan's.

    I hope they're having the party of their lives right now.

    First one goes to the left foot so the third naturally goes to the right foot.

    And the second goes on your unexplained third foot in the middle?

    It's finally hit.

    Why. That's not even a question. Why am I so dumb?

    That moment when you wake up in the morning and realise you are just the tiniest amount short on bacon, so you need to quickly go down the store and buy some more or suffer and intolerably annoying curse of having to eat two french toasts with too little bacon - so that you're finish with a single little piece of virgin french toast, just laying there.... pointlessly.

    Just seriously........*rages*

    If @EstherMayRose is an androphile, perhaps she's just wondering how a sock would be sufficient?
