Spike 5,103 Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 Anybody else shave a little Hitler moustache before finishing shaving? I like to walk around the house acting like Charlie Chaplain's dictator for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just sucks balls when you forget all about it and head out of the house for dinner. I actually don't think it's a bad look on some men but the connotations have ruined it. At least we can all still have handlebar moustaches as Stalin didn't ruin that, just like Lenin didn't ruin the goatee. My moustache is ridiculously thick beneath my nose but get redder and thiner as it goes around my mouth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah for over a year I've had loads of problems with my ears and throat. Ears getting blocked, bringing up blood when I blow my nose or sneeze. I had an endoscopy done but that didn't show anything abnormal. Always producing phlegm. Pretty much on demand So here for a check up which I didn't know I needed!

Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Isn't it weird how you can do two peoples work when left alone for two and a half weeks but as soon as the other person comes back, all sorts starts collapsing after a couple of days of the other person reappearing? This is my work, right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Wow - this week is unreal. Tuesday we had a baby appointment with our new doctor. Baby Javier Zanetti is perfectly healthy.Wednesday I had an interview at my dream job, which I believe went well. The new job would be a significant pay increase, and I'm already doing pretty welll for myself, so the extra income would be 100% savings. And then since then I have been trying to schedule my semi-finals tennis match with my opponent. I'm seeded #3 and he is #46, but he is being a little twat and saying he doesn't want to play indoors, which is our only option since it is raining outside. If we can't get the match in tonight, the winner will be decided by the league....using a coin flip. So incredibly stupid that I could lose to this guy based on the luck of a coin. City championships are tomorrow AM so I'm just hoping and praying that we play tonight and not put my fortune in the hands of a coin. Oh, and my wife is going out of town for a week on some training. This means I'll get the house to myself which I'm absolutely looking forward to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd make sure the people running this league know that I'm ready to play and my opponent isn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toony 95 Posted May 5, 2017 Share Posted May 5, 2017 Yes, I would have thought they'd be fairer ways to decide the outcome of a match than a coin toss? Perhaps he knows he won't beat you and is trying to not play the game hoping it goes to a coin toss where he then has a 50% chance of winning.

I have reported him to the league and haven't heard back. Luckily I only communicate via text so everything is saved. I have played him before, and won 6-1, 6-0. So it might be in his best interest to flip a coin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eco 3,008 Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 Man, I am so livid right now - so despite me bending over backwards to play my opponent, being undefeated, and the higher seed, I will not be in the Championship match tomorrow because of a stupid fucking coin toss. What a fucking bunch of idiots this league is ran by, I am going to find another league to play in after this shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's poor, I can't believe there is no way around the coin toss if people make more effort to play the match than the opponent. It's common sense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco 3,008 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 HAHAHAHA - Quick little update on the Tennis Front. Since the championships were Saturday, I had to check this morning to see who won. Turns out the P.O.S. that avoided me at all costs lost 6-2, 6-2 in the final. I'm pathetic for how satisfied it makes me feel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
