[Clin]

Flat white. Three cigarettes. Breakfast of champions.

[bitchimom]

[Retardobot]

I had double cured, double smoked California bacon on some sour dough toast.

Was great.

[Clin]

Nearly ten o'clock.

Flat white. Three cigarettes. Smoko of champions.

[Pyromanik]

how long did you have to wait for more petrol??

Worse, it was diesel.
Gotta wait for mechanic to come bleed the thing.

Text message says 11pm before they moved again.
Timestamp on home post seems to agree.

Fucking lol.
Stuck in the middle of nowhere for three hours.
Wind and rain.
Did you get cabin fever bro?

[Speakman]

wasn't any wind or rain, sun was down by the time the mechanic arrived, we were looking for zombies and ufos. Was a bloody long wait

[Pyromanik]

That's lucky then.

Today has been awesome, I had immigration guys busting me last weekAND education department guys crashing my office today. First ones wanted to deport me as I am obviously some sort of undesirable.
 To teach in Korea the minimum you need is a bachelor's degree (not enough in my opinion!) Anyway, the second crashers said I was not qualified to teach as I only had a diploma (LOL) My wife then pointed to the papers in the guys hands and related that one of these said bachelor degree (my name) The next one said master degree (my name) and the last one was my graduate diploma in learning which is more grad school stuff takes about 1 1/2 years...high school teaching license. Their reply AHA! the diploma is the latest one the other ones do not matter you are obviously unqualified to be here....you are not qualified to teach in Korea!  

Awesome ;p

Ps: It is fucking cold here right now.

[Codex]

o_O who did you piss off lol

Why are they putting you through it all

[smegmacheese]

Most other businesses around us pissed off ;p Particularly our competitors. We have had guys turn up with hidden cameras, microphones. 2 couples pretending to be prospective clients offering us illegal deals while recording it and intending to narc on us. They were hilarious" hello, we are mr and mrs kim how much are your services? Had a quick look at them, Mr Kim appears to be about 55 cadaverish stinks of cigarettes and alcohol. His "wife" was some 20 year old looking like she going to vomit from nervousness while fiddling with cables dangling from her jacket which made suspicious electronic noises.

Think I mentioned other couple a while ago on forums similarly believeable. We had an attempted spy today today too ;p Random phonecall: Hello! me: hello can I help you? reply in bad english I want to know all about which books you use for each year, your work schedule, how much you charge, and what specialty services you offer. (very suspect...average joe/mary does not ask this stuff)

I see, who referrred you to us? and it's okay you can speak Korean if you wish.

Ummm my friend whose kid goes to one of your entrance level classes

I see who is your friend?

My friend is the parent of one of your entrance level students.

I see, that's very interesting, but what is their name?

Pause umm I forgot

Oh that's unfortunate why don't you come in tomorrow and we can talk about it? I have recorded your phone number using caller ID.

Oh what? oh

Hang up

I have a cunning plan to deal with this guy after sorting out education department a little more tomorrow ;p

Wife still complaining to various people on phone : /

[Ngati_Grim]

Good luck Smegma.


You could remove them from your friends list in facebook. It seems the thing for little girls to do at the moment rather than discuss any issues. Perish that they might have to communicate, and I have it on good authority that facebook is widely used in Korea as a social status symbol.

Loving the holiday at the moment. Have been able to catch up with old friends, and laid the groundwork to catch up during the year, during some time where it's not an appropriated religious holiday (is that all religion is good for, ultimately?...holidays?) and people aren't being cajoled into parting with their hard-earned for unnecessary consumption, excessive food intake and self-serving gratification from getting someone something they didn't really need.


Just as people have a right to celebrate Christmas and all the trappings, I am able to put forward my views on the matter. It's a shame there is so much finger pointing, cock-rubbing and lack of decent, cogent discussions around this soft-modern pastiche of deathcults/moon cults/ rampant consumerism/lack of intelligence applied to deal with any sort of retort against it.


Oh no, did I break Christmas for you? Harden the fuck up then and take another bite of your supersized pie.

Oh, and Urah Urah Urah!

[Clin]

No Lithium today Grim?

Hi My name is Seb Clin. I am three years old. I don't know what religion is, nor do I understand the concept of consumerism. I only have a weak grasp of words like "nor" and "concept".
What I do know is that once a year, on Christmas, there is magic in the air, everyone comes to visit me, and EVERYONE brings me toys. It's pretty much the one day of the year that all of my Nana's and Granddads are sitting around the same table.

Oh, and I get to have chocolate for breakfast.

How's the air up there on the moral high ground, you smelly beatnik?
