I keep wanking on Omegle lads.

off yourself nonce

Not long now until my first shift bicycle couriering for Just Eat.

>>71076

kill yourself faggot

>>71078

Had a top time and made £35 in 4 hours. Would've made more if they didn't have me waiting in KFC for 15 minutes. I never thought I'd say it, but I could see myself quitting Asda for this.

>>71076

I used to deliver parcels for Amazon prime which was a similar one of those "private contractor" app jobs.

At first it was great. You sat in the warehouse, a man would wheel out a cage of goods and you would deliver them to about 3-4 houses and return.

Eventually it got a lot more popular and the workload increased massively sometimes you had to deliver up to 10+ drops in 2 hours. It got so bad that you could deliver every package perfectly with minimal delays and still finish your last drop after the 2 hour slot (which of course meant you recieved an angry email from Amazon telling you that there is now a strike on your account).

It was pretty common for people to order stuff and not be home whch would always result in some sort of strike on your account. Pretty shitty.

First cashiers start to look like kids

Then waiting staff start to look like kids

Then primary school teachers start to look like kids

Then the guy who comes to your house to repair the boiler looks like a kid.

Finally police look like kids.

I've experienced the times change. I can see how different things were in the late 2000s compared to now. When I was younger I couldn't imagine what it was like to actually live in the 90s; I'm young enough I can't remember any of it, it was in the fog of war. I think young people today probably feel the same way about the late 2000s as I did about the 90s.

>>71083

>I couldn't imagine what it was like to actually live in the 90s

I was only 8 in Y2K, so I only really remember 1994/5~ onwards, and from a child's perspective, but from what I remember it was pretty much the same as the early-mid 00s, but with less offensive-on-the-ears music on the radio, less post-9/11 security overkill, more sensible looking cars, video tapes/cassette tapes/floppy disks were the main storage mediums, widescreen wasn't really a thing outside the cinema, mobile phones were a rare sight, little to no internet anywhere, and all computers were big beautiful beige boxes. Oh, and joysticks were somehow a thing that every PC owner had, despite very few games benefiting from them.

Speaking of Y2K, you lads should check out >>>/y2k/ if you haven't already.

Every time I arbitrarily log into the mod account to stop the board being put up for auction I am reminded of how much I despise Ron.

>>71086

To be fair, it was hotwheels that set the website up this way to solve the problem of board owners dying or abandoning their boards, which has happened more than a few times. I it'd be better if it defaulted to making one of the existing mods into the board owner instead of just putting it up for grabs by literally anyone, but it is how it is.

>>71087

I understand the concept, but making it go up for grabs after just 2 weeks is fucking ridiculous. Even 2 months would be pushing it.

>>71088

Can Hotwheels not comprehend the idea of someone being away from their computer for 2 weeks?

I know the board is dead now but I'm glad I shared time on this board with you lads when it was more active. I regret no moments spent on /britfeel/, I have a lot of fond memories.

>>71089

Probably not, he's extremely crippled.

>>71090

It's definitely deader than it was, but there's still a pulse, albeit a 42 posts-per-month one. My mum is going to Malta for a couple of weeks in either August or September (can't remember what she said), and I've been thinking about doing some /streamfeel/ in that period if anyone's up for it, games/music/whatever.

>tfw it's been over 4 years since we started /britfeel/

It's almost been the time that it takes someone to start and finish Highschool.

How have your lives changed in that time, lads?

>>71091

I think you should.

It would be nice.

I know people go bald young, but it's ridiculous to be as grey as I am in your mid 20s, I found my first grey hair at 14.

>>71092

>How have your lives changed in that time, lads?

Not a whole lot really, still live in the same bedroom at my mum's house, still NEET. Only difference is I'm now closer to 30 than I am 20.

>I think you should

I'm pretty set on it, might look around for a site other than twitch though, I'd like to have more freedom.

>>71092

I'm still a KHHV loser and at this point I think I will be until I die.

>>71095

I'm not KHH (though it's been over a decade so I can barely even remember) but I am V and also think I will be until I die.

>>71092

I graduated from a university course I hated and got a job that I hate that doesn't require a degree. When britfeel started I was living in university, worried about doing shit in uni and disappointing my dad.

Now I live back at home with my parents and I know I disappoint my dad, and I can't quit the job I hate because he would be even more disappointed in me.

Every time I attempt to look for a new job I get so fucking depressed at how terribly paid everything is despite asking for so much that I give up and go to bed.

All in all, doing a little bit worse. At least now I'm numb most of the time, although lately there's been a resurgence of dread and despair. Hopefully that goes away because I can't take it much longer.

Any based DIY lads here? I'd like some advice.

I was putting up a shelf today, unfortunately I put a much larger screw than I should have into one of the fixings which just twisted it in the wall and would not screw in properly, when I pulled it out the hole is now gaping open. I think the pressure of the huge screw against the tiny fixing damaged my fragile, plaster wall.

How would I go about solving this issue?

>>71096

How was your kiss?

>>71090

We're not going anywhere lad. It may look like the carriage has come to a stop, but the ride never ends.

>>71098

I should add, I don't think there is anything wrong with the wall, it is supporting an identical shelf just fine.

I was using a hammer drill to screw in a screw which might have been bit silly so I didn't notice it wasn't fitting until it was too late.

>>71098

How much is "Gaping" ? If the hole is slightly too big for screws you can get one of those plastic things, I think they're called fixings to stick into it, then screw the screw into that.

If you need to fill in the hole, I'd suggest some expanding phone maybe? Not sure if that would deal well with screws though.

>>71098

I only do occasional amateur DIY, so I don't really know what I'm talking about, but I have fitted shelves and that sort of thing before, and grew up with a very DIY-minded family. If I was in your situation I would probably just start fresh in a slightly different location, with the right size screws, right size wall plugs, etc., rather than try to mount the shelves where the dodgy holes are, and I'd just fill the previous holes if they were bothering me. I think there's types of filler you can get which allows you to drill new holes into it, but I've never done that, so I can't say how that might go.

>>71101

Yeah hammer drills are really meant for drilling directly into brick, not relatively flimsy plastic wall plugs. I would screw into a wall plug either by hand, or a drill set to a slow speed with low torque, and increase the torque once it's definitely all the way in.

>>71102

>I think they're called fixings

There's a few different names, fixings, wall plugs, rawlplugs, anchors (yank term), all refer to pretty much the same thing as far as I know. I grew up hearing "wall plugs", so I use that. There was actually a bit of a row over whether it was "wall plug" or "rawlplug" between my mum and her boyfriend not that long ago, and that's where I first heard the latter term. I looked it up online to settle the matter, and it turned out they were both right.

>>71103

>I would screw into a wall plug either by hand

I don't have a screwdriver.

Just a high powered hammer drill with screwdriver attachments.

I don't really want to start over lad, can I not just put some kind of plaster over the hole?

>>71104

>>71103

Sorry, didn't read the last sentence.

I think someone on this board gave me DIV advice about 2 and a half years ago when I attempted to put up a curtain rail and totally botched the fuck out of it to the point where it was embarassing. Glad my DIY has improved a bit since then.

Lads, I was looking through old posts and 2017 seems like such a long time ago. However, in 2017 when I looked at posts from 2015 it seemed like not that long ago.

>>71104

You could always just rotate the entire drill by hand like it's a massively oversized screwdriver, I've done that before. It's definitely worth investing in a screwdriver set if you haven't got one, I think they're essential household items even for non-DIY lads. Endlessly useful.

>>71105

Just looked it up because I couldn't remember that happening at all, turns out >>50234 was me as well kek.

>>71107

NO

JUST WANT BIG DRILL

>>71106

Time is weird, I often find things on my PC or in my room that have been sitting there since 2013 but I feel like I just used them, and then there's other things that I did a couple of months ago that I can't remember ever doing or touching.

My favourite one that's happened several times in recent years is when I research a bit of software or come across something neat online, and go to download/install it, only to find either that it either already exists in my downloads folder, or that it's already installed. If it was one time then I wouldn't be worried, but this has happened enough times that I'm pretty certain I'll end up with Alzheimer's in future.

>>71108

THEN ENJOY BIG HOLE

>>71109

Time is weird.

I miss the times when I used to spend all day refreshing this board. However, it kinda gives me an idea why time passes for neets so quickly. 2012- 2016 seems like such a blur but it was it was quite a long time.

The last year of wageslavery has seemed longer.

>>71099

I don't remember

>>71111

Yeah right. I can vividly remember the one time a girl briefly hugged me, and that was over a decade ago. If I close my eyes, I can still feel the sensation of her well proportioned breasts pressing against my body through our uniforms. If I can remember a completely inconsequentional hug like that, there's no way I'd forget a kiss. I think you're repressing some memories lad.

>>71112

I don't think it's a case of repressed memory, it's the fact that it's been 13 years and it only happened a couple of times over a 2 month period.

>>71113

As I said, I had a single hug over a decade ago (just over 11 years to be exact), and I can still clearly remember that. You remember that it happened, how often it occurred, and for how long, but don't remember what it was actually like? That's very odd.

>>71114

I dunno what to tell you, Torquemada.

I remember how long it's been because it was the last 2 months of high school and I know that it happened more than once, but I don't know exactly how often.

Maybe you have a particularly good physical memory, maybe I have a particularly poor physical memory, maybe you've spent a lot of time dwelling on that hug over the past 11 years.

>>71115

I have definitely spent a lot of time dwelling on that hug over the past 11 years, that much is certain. It's the closest I ever got to feeling breasts after all. Not the closest I ever got to seeing them in real life though, in year 7 there was a girl who flashed her (very pointy) boobs to all the lads while we were on a school trip. Also saw a pair while on holiday in Spain around the same time, it was a 30-something year old mother who was sunbathing topless.

Hey lad.

Ever wondered what your favourite lad Deano is up to these days?

https://doms-subs.co.uk/

That's right, if you live in London and order one of these sandwiches the lad from all your OP pictures will actually come to your house and deliver it to you. What a world eh?
