The robotic voice in Get Lucky...

"We're up all night to get lucky"

sounds like:

"We'll rub a Mexican Monkey"

Can't unhear...

One of the lads I live with, let's call him Clyde, lent a mutual friend £660 about six months ago. A few weeks after borrowing it, our pal, let's call him Jethro, dropped off the radar.

Now for the past six months, we haven't heard a peep from Jethro. Then the other day, he comes round for a few beers. It was all good laughs and such, but there was an elephant in the room.

At one point, Jethro pulled some money from his pocket, to which Clyde said "Jesus, so you've got some money then?", yet Jethro didn't get the hint. He has yet to mention the money at all.

So my question is, should I mention it to Jethro? Clyde will probably never ask for it, that's just the way he is, but it's just so fucking sly. Should I confront Jethro?

Why could you and Clyde even stomach sharing beers with Jethro?

Jethro stole Clyde's money and ran. I'm amazed he returned.

This was the point where you or "Clyde" should have said "Where the fuck is my money?".

Jethro is probably laughing his cock off that you let him do that.

I assumed there was going to be a "so Clyde, sorry I haven't given you that money yet, but..." moment. But no, nothing. And plus, they were my beers, he doesn't owe me anything.

I very nearly did, I was just hoping he would offer. And at that point, I didn't want to make a mug of Clyde by asking for it on his behalf.

I'll have to mention it to him next time. Clyde is pretty skint, he could really do with it back.

I forgot to mention the biggest hint Clyde dropped, Jethro mentioned a charity run he was doing, and said he might come knocking for donations. Clyde replied," you can fuck off, you aren't getting any more money from me!" in a joking manner. He didn't get the hint.

Well, next time you see him, don't give him the impression he can treat you like mugs again.

Anyway... I guess I got a new iPod? Anyone got any decent game/app suggestions?

Clyde doesn't deserve to get his money back if he can't just look the guy straight in the eye and ask him what the fucking deal is.

If it was my money, I'd have been on his case like a shot. It's Clyde who needs the help, I just don't want to over step the line.

You may be right Dave. I don't like to see someone get taken advantage of, but at the same time, he's a big boy.

Hence the dilemma. I know if I don't say anything, he probably won't see it again.

Bah, I'll give it another week or so, then I'll decide. It's none of my business really, just Clyde is a good guy, I don't want him to be made a mug of.

Yeah, just phrased that wrong, but you get the point.

Dave's right really, if he can't be arsed to try and get his money back then that's his loss.

Reknoc you're a class act.

And it'd have to be a really, really good mate to lend 660 quid to. That's like one whole xbone plus tv subscription.

So my parents have just seen my ex out for the first time since she broke up with me... and they were shocked that she ignored them...
Don't really get why they're shocked at all. I'd probably acknowledge her family, some more than others but each to their own I guess.

I'm taking the opportunity to get a few loads of washing dry and pressure hosing the back yard out.

Living the dream.

Actually, combined with sunshine, loud music, beer and cannabis, it's fairly enjoyable.

Yes, it really is. But you get better the more you play and when you clear a mode it's extremely satisfying. Warning: Puzzle Craft is extremely addictive.

Welcome! You're already cool just for being the first person in ages to answer the Pokemon question. Watch out for Tashbrooke- he doesn't bite, but he does smell a bit funny.
