I test drove an Alfa Romeo Giulia and it was a shambles from beginning to end.

He pulls the demo car round, and it was out of fuel, had a flat tyre, the engine management light was on, and the oil temp was sky high.

This was the demo car. The one they use to sell people on the brand.

Noped right out of there and bought German.

Thanks! I'm now working in a new role where there is no more ridiculous pressure or wild expectations and have been able to commit to working on a degree (because I fucked up the first one).

Work shouldn't leave you panicking on a monday morning or crying into your lunch.

My old boss gave me a load of shit for writing down tasks that I had to do. He just couldn't comprehend that it wouldn't stick if it wasn't written down.

He took my book from me, and then asked me to do a bunch of complicated stuff each with its own deadline.

He then got annoyed when I didn't do the stuff because I hadn't written it down because he took my book.

He got sacked, I got promoted.

This is true, they try to hide this type of activity, and if you fight it they'll take you down too. Source: personal experience.

18°C in the winter, and off completely in the summer.

My biggest fear is that you are aware of everything and can feel the pain when under, but forget it all - men in black style - to leave a relatively ok experience if not a little sick feeling.

That's a great idea.

At 14/15 you want to fool about if you have an equally young partner and there's nothing really criminal about it - just discovering sexuality.

14 and 30 though really does have a different ring to it and if that's considered, then credit to the system.

2 of the rentals I've lived in had bathroom carpet.

Rentals.

Student accommodation..

They were probably 40% vomit, 25% filth, 25% jizz and 10% actual carpet.

Hahahah, imagine going to another country and trying to pay in another currency and being shocked they wouldn't accept it.

I can't even spend Scottish notes in England when it's all Sterling, never mind trying to pay for a small shop coffee in dollars.

Mine always bites when she's love drunk. Proper double edged sword.

My apprenticeship is 4 years long and I work 36 hours a week, then need to do the learning and academic work which is around an additional 35 hours a week.

I'm just rolling into year 4 and I'm pretty tired now.

I'm also the only one left, everyone else who started in my cohort has dropped out because of the workload.
