Seeing everyone else get great things for Christmas. Especially the ones that go 'Well the only time I get expensive things is on Christmas.' They just have to rub it in my face. You know what time I get expensive things? NEVER. I'm lucky if I get a decent priced gift. I got a original Xbox 2 years ago because they felt 'sorry' for me. Do you understand how humiliating that is? When the only reason you get something is because someone feels bad for you? I don't want things because of sympathy, I would just like to be rewarded one time for all the commitment and work I put into doing my chores, schoolwork etc. And for my father to have a better job. When of your step-brother's never plays his Xbox 360 but won't let you borrow it? I see everyone with all the great new stuff, while I'm lucky to have obsolete junk from the 90s. It makes me angry, especially when they take all their stuff for granted.
 
I don't mean to sound rude, but... did you want sympathy from us as well?

Just take the Xbox and don't talk to those people again ;)

I just signed up to PSN. Therefore, I only have two psn friends. B spec is too much of a bore to bother with, and I (stupidly) didn't sign up for an unlimited deal, so I don't want to waste bandwidth on something I don't care for.

There's a thing called remote race. Just set your driver online and go to the bspec remote race thread and people will add you and race with your guy. You get lots of money and races the bspec level fast. I have like a million dollars per driver from this.

You're making me feel guilty. :guilty: I often forget that there are people out there a lot less fortunate than me.
 
No, I don't want any sympathy, people that are better off shouldn't feel sorry for me, I should just be treated like everyone else, respectfully. I got the old Xbox 2 years ago.

The fact my cat is gone forever, he didn't die, he just emigrated to China or something :(

Sorry to hear about that. :(
 
Need to convince my Mum to buy me a new one. :D

EDIT - Ever owned a pet, to the owner they aren't just cats.

@Jai: :rolleyes: It's a cat. You can get another one.

Geez, what's gotten into you? You mad or something? It's his pet, he loves it, and now he/she is gone forever and there's nothing he can do about it.

All I can say is get a job.
Then you can just buy what you want for Christmas and just ask for some cash from your parents to put towards it or something. Works a treat.
I just buy what I want for Christmas/birthday a few weeks before and then put the cash in the bank. Or spend it on lots of alcohol... But that was just this birthday... :dopey:

A damn cute one too! He was the colour of caramel and would always come to the back door at 3AM soaking wet. I would heat up a towel, dry him and then he would sit on my lap for 3 hours as I watched TV..

I love him, even if he did kill the Hamster as a kitten :boggled:
 
@Aldo: I'm a tall clumsy 16 year old that can barely lift anything. Yeah, I'm thinking that's not happening. @ParkourVeyron/Jai: Let me rephrase my prior post. Once you get a new cat, you can build a relationship with it, and pretty soon you'll forget the sadness you feel now and will be happy. I should know, after my dog died in the 6th grade, we got an outdoor cat. After a week I felt better. I put the rolleyes because it always goes like this.

Awww, I feel bad now that he's gone. :( What was his name? I have a ginger-colored female named Ginger. :p

I'm sorry. 3AM!?!? Bit early/late?
 
I wonder where he is, he went missing when me moved house.. He hid under the blankets in the car ride, and it took ages for him to find the courage to enter the place. That night he was hiding under a table, and the following night he went missing..
 
I know that when we moved 3 years ago my cat went back to my old house before he came back. Maybe your's did the same Jai.
 
A lot of people have said that, but... I haven't been back to my old house for a month.. I'm sure if I did return he would be long gone.

EDIT - 5,000th thread post.
 
A gear grinder of mine is the below song. It's stuck in my 🤬 head. Beware, if you listen to it you will be singing it for the rest of your life.

@Jai: That sucks. And technically I have the 5000 post (look at the post number) @Mattythedog: For once I can be thankful for the fact my phone doesn't play videos.

Sorry but that answer is 🤬.
If the worst comes to the worst: paper round, McDonald's, supermarkets.
There's a job out there, just find it. 💡
 
Hmm. Aldo, lets say I did get a job. I live in the middle of no where. How am I going to get home after my shift when the closest place to work at is a 35 minute drive away? When my dad can barely afford to get enough gas to get to his job. Don't talk when you don't know.
 
Settle down, only trying to help!
In that case, go do some pressups or something then. Ciao.
 
People who take the remark Jeremy Clarkson made on The One Show seriously Grinds my Gears..

He was saying what he thought. If that's bad, then shoot me.

TV is just too serious nowadays. It's entertainment. I don't watch TV expecting everything to be totally politically correct, factual and well, as a result of that, boring. People, generally like controversy, because that's what makes it interesting.
