I think we should be leaving now...

...yeah it's probably a good idea






your salary only makes ends meet

you get taxed when you fart

the English teaching profession's been kidnapped by people who can't speak English

paperwork has replaced real life

you've given it your best shot but can't quite bring yourself back again

admittedly in Songkhla me and upagumtree were the only non-fat white guys


but I arrived back here looking like an Auschwitz case - that'll be the 3 months compulsory malnutrition


now, however, I'm over 80 kg and I should be 68-70



it's the diet

Re: I think we should be leaving now...

much more aggressive here - people get fired up real quick and it becomes an issue not of what's true or not but who can shout the fckin loudest and look the meanest

makes me think in LOS everything's fake but blatantly so - here it's fake but they pretend it's not - long as the paperwork's done it's ok - real life be buggered - 2day we had a fire drill in my school in North London - I made sure everyone was out before I left, like you'd think you would - got pulled up for forgetting to take my fckin register outside, despite the fact I knew all the students were safe - fuck their safety, long as the paperwork's ok that's all that matters

I've been back in the UK for about 9 months now, and that statement does definitely have some truth behind it.

The most pointless bit of paperwork has to be bog roll - God, why oh why does Britain not have the bum gun.
Bog roll is more expensive, less hygienic and worse for the environment.
