/britfeel/ - Feel Britannia

Absolutely fantastic OP lad.

>>70990

I knew it was the right decision to not do it myself, cheers lad.

>>70990

That's a tasteful OP. Very impressive.

How have you lads all been today? Been up to anything good? I've been learning German and playing a lot of guitar lately, and I feel less depressed and mopey and better in myself in general. There's a lot to be said for distraction.

>>70995

The part where he talks about 'spiteful genes' @29:55 is very interesting, the whole thing is good though.

>>70994

Glad to hear it lad. Besides computer stuff, I've been making more digital copies of records, been working through my dad's 80s hip hop / electro collection.

Anyone still play on that WoW server?

Ah, there is nothing quite like a strong cup of black coffee to get your day going.

Who /thicc cortex/ here?

I think this board exacerbates my depression because I keep hoping for it to be something I know it won't be.

Feeling very lost and without purpose lately, in fact since being rejected after a job interview. It's making it difficult to do much of anything at the moment.

I feel like if my dad didn't expect more of me, I would be a lot happier. I think I could happily go back to being a based retail lad if it wasn't for that.

Where my Asda lads at? What do you think of this?

>fucking retail dossers should get paid as much as warehouse staff because muh gender discrimination

Do the male retail lads get back pay too?

>>71004

Yes.

>>71005

it doesn't even make sense then, how can it be about gender when the male retail staff are also getting paid less than the warehouse staff?

>>71003

Women were a mistake.

If those worthless cunts want to be paid as much as me I'll happily trade places with them.

Hope they enjoy breaking their back picking 1800 boxes of fucking screenwash in 25 degree summer heat while I'm fucking around the store talking to people and putting shit on a shelf.

>>71006

Women should get paid less in them roles anyway, the managers never make them do the aisles with the heavier stuff, like pet food or pop. It's unfair.

>>71007

>Women were a mistake.

As were parasitic solicitors firms that create these frivolous lawsuits

I got a NIP for speeding recently.

Today I went through a tunnel where the speed limit was 10mph. After about 1 minute of driving through the tunnel there were about 15 cars behind me and the ones infront had already sped off.

They all started honking their horns and by the end some of them were just holding their horns down. After I exited the tunnel they all started giving me rude gestures or obnoxious stares.

It almost feels more rebellious to drive the speed limit than to speed.

I'm at a point where I'm more attracted to non white women than white women and I don't know what to do about that.

I want a classic Mini.

Nah, it's fine. Just keep drinking.

Sit with other people in the canteen.

>tfw find it impossible to buy anything without obsessive amounts of internet research

I wish sometiemes I had the impulsiveness to just buy something because I want it and like the look of it.

Found a toy gun in my wardrobe. I remember bringing it back from a holiday to Spain.

I'm wondering how our cases didn't get ripped open and searched, this would have been just post 9/11.

>>71031

I know that feel, I've spent the last week obsessively researching PC cases for a potential new build, think I've finally decided on one today though (Phanteks P600S in white, sticking with the "stormtrooper" aesthetic my current Corsair 500R has). I've needed a new PC chair as well for ages, still not decided on one.

>>71032

Nice, I was always fascinated by those shops abroad that were just filled to the ceiling with realistic looking toy guns and BB guns. My mum wouldn't let me buy anything like that though, probably for the best. I did get a sweet realistic looking revolver from Disneyland Paris though.

>>71033

I successfully held my old computer chair together with cable ties and tape for 6 months before I leaned back too hard, snapped my DIY and bent the bolts.

>>71033

I'm surprised my Mum let me have a toy gun. She was always massively against guns and resented Americans for their gun culture.

I just got lucky that I won this particular gun at a faire and I was such a stubborn kid that I made my parents bring a realistic looking cap gun through customs.

How do I tell if thoughts are irrational paranoid thoughts or completely rational thoughts that I should be worried about?

>>71036

ask the lads at your local

>>71036

You could try writing the thoughts down and reviewing them at a later date. You could also try posting them here to see if the beliefs hold up to third-party scrutiny.

>>71036

I trust my paranoia.

>>71031

Iktf, however I don't mind it. I quite enjoy the research as a pass time, and it prevents me from making impulsive money-wasting decisions

I've got terrible sunburn. Being wh*Te is a curse.

Got a question for ye.

What's heavier? A kilogram of steel, or the weight of a thousand feels?

>>71042

A kilogram of any material will weigh the same amount, you didn't have to specify it was steel. I'd say the feels though, one kilogram isn't very heavy at all, you could easily walk around with a 1kg weight in your pocket and not feel even slightly burdened by it. A thousand feels on the other hand can easily keep you from getting out of bed or doing anything if you let it get the better of you.

Anyone else going to be playing classic wow? I'll be on the NA server since I'm playing with an NA guild.

>>71044

Gukki, is that you la? I will be, but I'll be on my shit laptop because my PC broke and I'm too poor to fix it.

On an unrelated note, are we all enjoying the heatwave?

>>71045

I'm not Gukki.

>>71045

>On an unrelated note, are we all enjoying the heatwave?

Not really, my mum has forgotten where she put my fan.

How do normalfags stay awake for so long and sleep so little? I struggle to stay awake longer than 10 hours.

>>71048

It's easier to stay awake when your life has purpose.

>>71048

Work and routine keeps them in check I think. I've also heard anecdotally from my family that they became unable to lie-in as they got older. My dad used to stay in bed until 10am - noon on the weekends when I was younger, but now he says he always wakes up at 6 - 7am no matter what, just like my grandparents.

>>71050

I noticed when I had 4 weeks off during Christmas, I managed to slip back into every bad habbit I used to have.

That was my first time off since starting to work full time in 2017.

Anyone have any mousepad recommendations?

>>71056

No problem lad. As an aside, if we were to refer to homosexual activities, we wouldn't say "bugging", but there are similar terms like "bumming" or "buggering".

>>71057

That is interesting, thank you. On a somewhatrelated note, I looked up the Victorian beardstyle known as ‘Picadilly Weepers’ a while back, and came across an alternate name: ‘buggers grips’ – the idea being that these long sideburns would be used to grip onto by someone bugging, or as you pointed out, bumming, another fellow.

>>71058

You're certainly very interested in homosexual activity.

>>71060

no problem bumboy

Are we all enjoying summer? It's certainly nice to see all the lasses with their feet and legs out.

>>71062

It's alright, my hay fever has been playing up at times, but I've been staying indoors a lot so it's not too bad. Found my fan too.

>>71062

I hate it, I always get ill. I also am getting bitten a lot, one of the bites on my hand got really swollen and painful and another bite was oozing pus. I don't get to see women in revealing clothing because I don't go out and if I did I'd just get tfw no gf so I don't mind. Also;

>>71066

good work, lad

hemostats should be available in supermarkets for cheap prices. Theyre extremely useful.

>>71067

Thanks, lad.

I know my co-worker is probably cripped but he did kind of deserve it after his rudeness towards me.

I also got a nice new desk, it's probably about 4ftx3ft and I have two of them next to eachother. A bit overkill but theres not much else to do with a big empty office.

LOOKS LIKE PIZZAGATE'S BACK ON THE MENU BOYS

When did you lads realise that you're getting old?

For me, it was waking up with a banging headache the morning after a shot of whiskey and a bottle of beer.

>>71070

>Is music lad still here

I'm still here.

>What do you all think to our new PM?

Haven't really been following along, only found out because I overheard a family member mention it. Right now I predict his tenure will be just as much of a trainwreck as May's was, because he's a flip-flopper that goes with whatever he thinks will take him furthest at any given moment, with no concrete stances.

>>71073

First thing was probably the receding hairline, since then it's been nothing but reminders that I'm getting older. Can't keep up with my nieces energy, hate virtually everything new or that "the young people like", hair growing out of my ears, seeing legal adults talk about things from their childhood that I distinctly remember happening in my adulthood, people my age being parents of children that are already in primary school, whenever I go to a shop, restaurant, or whatever all the staff are significantly younger than me, etc.

I keep wanking on Omegle lads.

>>71076

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.

>>71073

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.

>>71073

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.
