Definitely a ginger.  Hey, Rob, how do you unfriend someone outside of Facebook.  Can we even do that?

It crossed my mind. But, then I thought that someone who says silly things like GoT sucks ass is clearly joking.

Maybe it's the ginger speaking?  What is happening to the younger generation?

Gonna have to pretend to disagree with you there Whatevs, as my wife is ginger!

Yeah, you can unfriend in real life. You know the little cog that floats just above your right eye, press that, and then "manage friends". It's really cool, you can make yourself like someone just by adding them.

Well yes, a little. Sure hope he writes the next book soon. No proper work ethic that one.

I live near Manchester England and it sort of has a reputation for gangs and guns (no where close to the level of America and nothing special in comparison to other cities in England)

A person I knew was obsessed with going around saying he was from Manchester (he was from a little countryside town outside of Manchester) he would be obsessed with the gun culture, going around saying "Yeh gunchester, brap brap" (as far as I'm aware he never fired a gun in his life) and he would brag about the fact he was arrested 3 times for possession of weed. 
Most of the time it's actually pretty difficult, in my experience to be arrested for possession, I'd been smoking it for years without a problem yet within the first couple of years of him smoking it he's arrested 3 times, definitely because he would have tried his hardest to be awkward and give a bad attitude to the police.

Through force of will, I'm sure many people become the stereotypes they want to be, now he's older when he meets new people he will tell them he's from Manchester and they won't know any better and he will be known by all his new friends as the tough guy from the inner city who's been arrested loads of times.  I think he might have grown older and smarter now but the last time I was on the phone to him he was bragging about taking class A drugs even though his mother died taking class A drugs complicated by a heart condition so I don't know.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.

Some people make head hurt. I didn't abandon my thread but it was freezing and I found a spot by the vent.
