Lol. Just got a message from Facebook that my post about people checking in to Standing Rock was found to be offensive and has been removed.

Facebook's priorities are loving weird, man. One of my friend's videos got took down within minutes for reasons unknown, it was a car video with some music, nothing illegal.

...some other dude shares a video of a woman making GBS threads into a cup and some other chick licking it and it stays up for a couple of days.

Last year I bought loads of sweets so of course there were no kids out trick or treating.

This year alllllllllllllll the kids were out, so many that it honestly made me wonder where they lived because at best I've seen 4 playing outside around here at any one time during summer. So of course I had no sweets to give out this year.

Let's just ignore that the £ has taken a nosedive off a cliff because the markets are up! No I don't know what any of it actually means but stop suggesting I made a poor decision by trying to vote out the Polish people who live up the street.

In other news dude I sit next to at work voted out. He's just come back from Amsterdam and was kicking off that everything cost so much because the £ is in the toilet, it's like he couldn't make the connection...

Someone with a track record of being an absolute oval office to other human beings will soon be in a more important position with capability to be an absolute oval office to even more human beings.

Hey, britgoons. My friend (we're both Danish) is about to rent an apartment in London. The rental agency/landlord/slumlord is asking for a "Character Reference Letter" so he's asked me to write one. Can someone give me the skinny on what that is? I have a template, but I'd like input from someone in the know.



It's basically reassurance from another human being that knows them and can vouch for them not being a horrible slob or drunken dicklord that will trash the place and scream until 6am whilst playing tech house from a large PA system.

They just want to know what your friend is actually like so if you've known them forever and they're a solid person then say so. You're basically writing a review of your friend...

OK, thanks. And what prevents me from describing my horrible shitlord of a friend who pukes on the wallpaper and plays Infected Mushroom at 130dB every night until sunrise as a lovable chap who likes cats and peace and quiet? And can I get in trouble if I lie on it?

Mind you, they're very nice people, and the truth will very much suffice, I'm just thinking it's a bit of a weird system.

Nothing's preventing you from lying except your conscience so yeah it's definitely a weird thing. I had to get one to rent the place I'm in now but as I'm a wonderful person that wasn't an issue.

I think it's more if you're a complete cock then you're probably going to struggle to find someone to write good words about you. And I'm at least 99% sure it's not legally binding because hey, people change and your friend could be the most placid person alive in your company and an utter twat in everyone else's. As long as they don't poopsock the joint up it'll be fine.

Where are they moving to?

It's because you're a man and men aren't supposed to have feelings or talk about them because you're supposed to be strong. Which is why when something really bad happens and you're forced to address them, it's really loving hard... Don't apologise for being human.

The heater in my car has never worked properly. On occasion it'll kick out some heat but only from the side vents and the windscreen one. Centre ones? Nah. When it decides to you can hear the mixer doors moving back and forth spasmodically.

I should really look into that considering how cold it was today. I should've looked at that during the summer but I was kinda concentrating on rebuilding the head and other assorted shite. I want a warm car but not in the whole 'overheat and blow a gasket' manner of summer.
