The only thing more miserable than going through an airport, is going through an airport with kids. Have that joy to look forward to this week

[A Former User]

@jerkules that’s why there is noice-canceling right?

[ARNC]

@jerkules are the kids small enough to pack in your checked luggage?

[A Former User]

@ARNC or a good reason to upgrade to bigger ones

[jerkules]

@ARNC one is, and conveniently she’s the one that needs to chill the F out …

Mine have been uncharacteristically good the couple of times we’ve flown with them. Small favors I guess.

threats of a brisk drubbing work too

Fucking local drug dealers are using my doorstep as a pick-up and drop-off point for one of their number again. Thought we'd seen the last of them after we reported a suspect vehicle parked next to my house last year, which turned out to be stolen, and led to a police chase when the police turned up to seize it just as the dealers were getting back into it.

I don't particularly give a monkey's about the drug-dealing per se - they've never bothered anyone in our neighbourhood - but there's clearly a reason they don't want to park at one of their own houses, and I'd rather a rival gang didn't spot the car, put two and two together to reach five, and conclude that me or my neighbours are their rivals.

I might do something like this to the spot where they park. It seems to have been effective:

[Matt]

What are they selling?

Drugs for you Matt

@Matt ‘hide stuff for your wife’ boxes.. @Kasi

[EdH]

@Matt No idea. They don't generally do the deals outside my house. I had a peek in the back of the car once and saw empty canisters of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) on the floor of the car. I've seen them meet up with someone on foot then all hop a nearby fence and disappear behind some trees with a toolbox, and could overhear them opening and shutting it a few times on one occasion.

[Matt]

Maybe they’re dentists.

[Kasi]

Matt wanna your teeth’s sorting out

[Kasi]

@Matt be honest how many stuff are you hiding from Katie

So don’t become a Pinocchio lying with a big nose

[Matt]

All of it.

Just got harassed on the walk home by some drunken woman demanding I rolled down my 'Tesco Turn-Ups' (cuffed denim, for those not familiar with the nuances of British insults).

I said 'nah, this is how I like them' and she got gradually more aggressive towards the fact I wasn't rising to her comments, and proceeded to power walk/limp behind me in broken high heels yelling 'WHY ARE YOU WEARING ALL DENIM!?'

I eventually outpaced my pursuer, and made it home in one piece.

Stay safe out there folks haha

Went to Iron Heart Osaka. It was pretty cool

[Samurai Lowdown]

I’ve also gotta add that I’m a huge fan of samurai jeans, especially their T-shirt’s but going to their head store was totally underwhelming. The staff that was there were total snobs and acted like they were annoyed at everyone for being there. Iron Heart Osaka however were so welcoming and kind
