My favourite one is where they've to try and get people to want to rent a room from them, and they tell Murr to be over the top excitable. And it turns out the guys exactly like that anyway
For me it's the one where Sal and Joe are doing a Timeshare presentation created by the other 2. Just watch

A real "did ye aye?" here....
PLEASE READ:
I was wasn't sure if I was going to post this because people will think I'm doing it for all the wrong reasons. I was driving through Llandudno last night and I seen a homeless man sitting outside Sainsburys reading his book with his dog in his lap.
Something struck me so I pulled over instantly, got ouf of my car and walked up to him. So many people was just walking past him as if he was invisible or as if he wasn't human.I pretended I was going in the shop and asked him did he need anything. All he asked for was a sandwich. He wasn't fussy with what sandwich. I asked if he wanted a drink and some dog food. He said "yes please sir, thank you"
So I went into the shop with no intentions of buying just them three thigns he wanted. I grabbed a basket and filled it with stuff - sandwiches, sausage rolls, chicken, coke, water, juice, biscuits, crisps, chocolate, sweets, cookies, fruit and a few more items of food and drinks.
I then thought what else this poor guys needs what we taken for granted on a daily basis. So I also hot him deodrant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, nail clippers, lip balm, shampoo, body wash and a few more essentials. Then onto his dog, he asked for 1 tin of dog food. So I got hin 6 tins of dog foodm dog biscuits, denta-stix and a few more bits and bobs for his dog.
I thought what could I get him which he doesn't usually receive...so I got him some scratchcards.
When I took the 3 bags of shopping out to him he couldn't have been more grateful. I wished him the best of luck witht he scratchcards and the best of luck with the future. I told him I would pray for him.
When i went back to my car I looked on the passengers seat, I had two pairs of gloves and I knew he needed them more than me, so I grabbed them and walked up to him again whilst he was rubbing his hands together to get them warm. he kindly took the gloves and said 'God bless you'.I didn't do this for the 'thank you' or the 'that's so nice of you' I did this because he is human. He isn't invisible and people do care about him and for the fact he could have food and drinks to last him a while which we all take for granted. That's someone son! He could have kids of his own which he cannot provide for!
We are people in 2015 take so much for granted. We can decide when our next meal is, our next shower is any many other things. Homeless people live for the next meal. After I bought him all these thigns I started to feel guilty as I knew I was coming home to a bed and roof over my head and when I wake up in the morning the heating will be on.
In this date in age we are so self centered and it is society that has made up like this. We focus on ourselves and not so much about others in need.
I didn't want to help this guy for a one off thing, so got a bunch of old items from my hourse including jeans, tshirts, jumpers, hats, gloves, socks and a few books.My next plan is to give him all of these things I no longer need and to get him into a dog friendly hostel or hotel.
All I ask of you is to please stop taking things for granted. Please donate to the homeless people, even if it just spare change. Make them feel noticed. They are not invisible. People walk past them wearing £2000 shoes on and will not give the person in need £2. Homeless people are still humans. Please donate to homeless people. It's coming up to the coldest time of the year and most of all....Christmas.
Please donate old clothes, blankets, loose change...Anything.
These people are not invisible.
Please donate. Thank you.How many pairs of gloves did this guy own? How he fit all that in one single basket I have no idea. Not attention seeking at all here.
He even put photos up to confirm he did indeed have a basket full of stuff in a shop and some clothes on a bed. God bless this fella.

I like them all to be honest. Sal's reactions are the best for me - the no apologies challenge when he has to give the middle finger to an old lady (just read that back. Not changing
) is superb.0 -
This is really useful information for anyone who goes on holidays where the hotel uses key cards.
Always take a small fridge magnet on your holiday, they come in handy at the enf of it.
Never even thought about key cards contating anythign other than an access code for the room? Ever wonder what is on your magnetic room key card?
Answers:
A - Customers name
B - Custoemrs partial home address
C - Hotel room number
D - Check in dates and out dates
E - customers credit card number and expiration date!
When you hand them back to the front desk your personal information is there for any employee to access by simply scanning the card in the hotel scanner. An employee can take a handful of cards home and using a scanning device access all the information onto a laptop computer and go shopping at your expense!
Simply put hotels don't erase the information on these cards until an employee reissues the card to the next hotel guest! At that time the new guest's information is electronically 'overwritten' on the card and the previous guest's information is thus erased. But until the card is rewritten for the net guest, it usually kept in a drawer at the front desk with YOUR INFORMATION ON IT!
The bottom lime; keep your cards, take them home with you, or destroy them, NEVER leave them behind in your room or room waste basket and NEVER turn them into the front desk when you check out of a room.
For the same reason if you arrive at the airport and discover you still have the card key in your pocket, do not toss it in an airport trash bascket. Take it home and destroy it by cutting it up, espeically through the electronic information strip.
OR
If you have a small magnet pass it along the magnetic strip several times. Then try it in the door. It will not work. It erases everything on the card.

PLEASE FORWARD TO ALL THOSE FAMILIES AND FRIEND WHO TRAVEL
Well I'm just back from Tenerife and I'm now shit scared that somebody is emptying my account from my keycard. Especially as this is from the Met Police in London. I had my doubts until I realised it was from them. I've stayed at dozens of hotels with keycards and have never used a magnet on the back of my card - surely my luck will run out?
SHARED ABERDEEN.

Although not all gay men are effeminate, almost all effeminate men are gay.
Ergo, his effeminate chat leads me to believe he's gay.
He's actually married.
To a female I should add.

South Park
in US TV
Not been a massive fan of the overall storyline but it has still been very funny at times. Highlight being when Randy was being pressured into giving to charity. That had me in tears
Just watched that episode last night (only one I've watched of the series) was loved the whole Randy storyline. "take the sandwich out of the childs mouth to get your change"

Off to see Imagine Dragons tonight at the Hydro. I was a big fan of their first album, but never really got into their second album. So hopefully, they play a good percentage of the first album tonight.
Really enjoyed them tonight. Good ratio of old and new music!

My TalkTalk is hopeless - tried going through the customer service stuff but lost the will to live trying to find a phone number for them. Our laptop won't get along with the router (phones and wired pc fine). Laptop fine with other routers but since I got a Talk Talk router my laptop, and my neighbour's laptop won't work.
I had no issue getting a contact number - just had to do some troubleshooting on their website and it told me who to call. That was 2 weeks ago and we're no further forward now.
It must be the worst customer service I've experienced once you get on the phone though - they've been no help whatsoever. The first time I called the woman basically told me that there was no issue at all and that all was working fine even though our internet kept cutting out every couple of hours and needed to be turned off and on. Has went downhill since then.

Nobody messes with the Minertaur.
Just seen these replies
Alas I couldn't do it as I've no wifi to send the email - that's my story anyway 
Well Talk Talk continue to impress with their customer service. Two weeks after I called to give them dates for an engineer to visit to which we had no reply I've finally been told that an engineer needs to get in my house. I'm off on holiday for 2 weeks shortly and told Talk Talk this on the initial phone call saying I expected this fixed before we left.
Every day I've spoken to Talk Talk and been told "to expect an update tomorrow". It's taken them 2 weeks to decide that we do need an engineer!
Now it looks like we'll be without internet for at least 4 weeks and they are still trying to charge us for it? Has anybody else had such issues with them?

Spectre - enjoyable. Have to say it wasn't as good as I had hoped it would be but that was probably due to me being overly excited for it. The action sequences are fantastic (love the opening scenes) and the plot is pretty good. Craig was superb and for me is now my favourite Bond as I've been a fan of every film he's done.
7/10.

1. In my 2nd year at Aberdeen uni doing geography and management. Hating it right now
Got 2 exams coming up on Wednesday, one at 9am and one at 7pm 
2. I did stewarding at Glastonbury this year despite being a total wuss with no muscle - got started on quite a few times but also had a great time. The highlight was seeing Amy Winehouse drive past with her head out of the window having a smoke
3. I recently finished working at Toys R Us over the Xmas period. Twas a good laugh but some of the customers who came in drove me mad. Have also been working at Pittodrie on matchdays in the Legends Lounge for nearly a year and a half now
Sunday was a good day 4. I support Man Utd as well and have since I was a wee kid - only been to one game though and what a game it was! 7-1 v Roma
5. I am absolutely useless with women
Christ 6 years later and it's time for a wee update -
1 - graduated with a 2:1 joint masters in Geography & Management.
2 - haven't been to a festival since
3 - was effectively 'sacked' by Toys R Us for missing a meeting regarding my contract while I was on a Uni fieldtrip in Skye. Came back to a host of missed calls, voicemails and a letter saying that my contract was terminated. Lack of signal in Skye cost me my job - thankfully I hated it! Pittodrie I quit after I got a part time job at Argos
4 - still got a soft spot for Man Utd but its basically just a way to wind my Dad up now who despises the club.
5 - have now bought a house with my girlfriend. Slight improvement on 6 years ago being a desperate single virgin.
"What a story Mark" basically describes the lack 6 years of my life going by this

Talk Talk - posted on here a few pages back that they had messed my internet up. Week later and still no internet. Add to the fact that our personal information may have been stolen from them then it's fair to say that they are taking the fecking piss this week.

Just got this messaged to me by my girlfriends brother in law -
This is for you:) Read thill the end! I sent an angel to watch over you last night, but it came back and asked "why?" The angel said, "angels don't watch over angels!" Twenty angels are in your world. Ten are sleeping, nine of them are playing and one is reading this message. God has seen you struggling with some things and God says it over.
A blessing is coming your way. If you believe in God send this message to 14 friends including me, if I don't get it back then I guess I'm not one of them. As soon as you get 5 replies, someone you love with quietly surprise you. Not joking. Pass this message on. Please don't ignore it.
You are best tested and God is going to fix two big things tonight in your favour. If you believe in God drop everything and pass it on TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. DON'T BREAK THIS. SEND THIS TO 14 FRIENDS IN 10 MINUTES IT'S NOT HARD. WHOEVER SENT THIS TO YOU MUST CARE ABOUT YOU.
Don't know how to send it LOL just hold your finger and it should say forward
What the hell is this shit? Why do people even think of forwarding this on? Why 14 friends? WHY ANY OF THIS?
The best bit - " If you believe in God send this message to 14 friends including me, if I don't get it back then I guess I'm not one of them"

Just seen an absolute scheme goblin post how she "can't believe" the strength of Khloe Kardashian in light of what happened to Lamar Odom. No thought for the sick man at all.
I normally despise anything to do with the Kardashians but had to laugh last week when my girlfriend showed me pictures on Facebook of one of the kids getting hit in the face by a car door. Not that I didn't feel sorry for the kid - just her face is priceless as she goes down

Talktalk. Internet kept cutting out so we complained and got an upgrade to Fibre optic and a massive discount. Happy days.
Since the change over date last week we've had zero internet, have spent hours on the phone trying to get it sorted. 3 days after being told to expect an update from them I've heard nothing. Useless.

Playing the new Fifa at my mates last night and I was on the positive side of 3 crazy penalty decisions. 1 was a case of me running into an opponent but the other 2 were superb.
I hit a shot through a crowd of players which leads to the keeper parrying the ball to the side. My striker near the ball and tried to do a header (the ball was on the ground at this point) at the same time the defender tried to do a clearance. My player falls over the leg of the defender who has hoofed the ball away and I get a penalty.
Later in another match I hit a shot across the keeper who did a full length dive to try and get a touch to the ball. He missed, but the ball smacked the post and came back towards the penalty spot. Neither of us had noticed though that when the keeper did his dive that when he landed on the ground his hands tripped up one of my strikers who I hadn't even noticed in the box. Penalty and a red card

The advert on TV about contactless payment (or Apple Pay - can't mind which) has a woman going to an ice cream van and paying using the card reader. Do ice cream vans even have card machines? Genuinely can't decide if that advert is on the ball or just something to piss me off.
