Might be worth a look anyway, I've found in some cases it's cheaper to ship from the UK to Australia than it is to ship something in Australia to the next town over. Croatia is closer to the UK too.

that neat tip about putting Nivea inside your shoes, because I need my boots to last as long as possible.

You can never put enough Nivea in your shoes - I recommend about a teaspoon of cream per shoe. You will not believe how much Nivea your shoes will absorb, and the leather is going to become incredibly soft and nice. Always do this whenever you buy new shoes - the leather on new shoes tends to be unpleasantly stiff - treat them with Nivea and leave them overnight. And I guarantee you'll be pleasantly surprised in the morning.

I went out on my bike to take a picture of this amusingly tacky wall mural painted on the firehouse in the Dugave estate. This looks to me like an advertisement for some sort of fundie church in a small midwestern town or something, and the author obviously failed their engrish class because just look at that poo poo, it makes no sense at all. :)

Can someone cast some light on the origin of this strange mural? Mormons? :iiam:

It's been pretty cold the past few days and I'm temporarily putting the bike away - getting sweaty when it's freezing outside is pretty much begging for bronchitis or pneumonia, and my nose tends to run all the time while I'm riding - stopping every minute or so to blow my nose out gets old really fast.

My uncle was in the Dutch army in the 90's as a procurement officer and there was a shipment of 3 tons of breakfast porridge that got a tiny amount of bird poop on it. They were going to destroy all of the 3 tons but instead he wanted to send it to Bosnia (Same diff as Croatia amirite). He got indignant when they didn't want the shat-on porridge lol.

This reminds me of the tinned beef cans EU sent over for the Bosnian refugees back in 1993. These were tall white cans with a blue EU flag painted on, and the meat inside was surprisingly good - it was a blob of corned beef and if you cut it up into small chunks, it made for an amazing stew filler. Refugees attempted to sell these cans but few people were willing to buy them - you could buy a carton of these things off the refugees but that means that you'd be eating the same old thing every day, which puts you in the same boat as them - so a lot of this stuff ended up getting thrown out because even the refugees grew tired of tinned beef. Uncle Bruno recovered a great deal of these cans from the dumpsters. :D

Amazingly, I recently saw one of those cans for sale at the flea market - it was dented and horribly rusted. I don't know who would've bought it - except maybe out of curiosity - because the meat inside was at least twenty years old by then. I planned to go to the flea market this morning and take a few pictures, but the weather was really nasty and I gave up - relatively few people bother to show up when it's snowing, for obvious reasons.

Didn't the beef disintegrate? The canned corned beef we get here just turns to mush if you heat it up.

Yes, the beef would disintegrate, but only to a certain point since the blob was actually congealed out of reasonable chunks of meat, and it tasted surprisingly good. I wish I knew who was the manufacturer of these cans (refugee stuff NEVER mentions the manufacturer) because I wouldn't think twice about buying a whole carton of this stuff after all these years, it was that good.

Thanks mate, can't wait to see what it is :) (I also hope the customs people won't badger me to pay the import tax on whatever it is because I'm completely dry.) It's also going to take at least three weeks to arrive, possibly much longer!

Nothing screams "I'm a lovely, boring, friendless loser" than having to buy drugs on the internet, especially on darknets which are understood to be huge honeypots. 13 year old boys over here would laugh at me if I did such a thing. Besides, ingesting crumbly, unmarked pills manufactured in some shady backstreet lab the Third World is a great way to OD on whatever-the-gently caress-that-was-supposed-to-be-but-wasn't and then not being able to tell the ER staff what exactly did you take so that they could give you an antidote. The whole thing is completely unreasonable to me.

Eh. Honestly you can get legit drugs off the darkweb easily and safely (MDMA prices are currently low in part because of that, for example), and legal testing for known drugs is done by non-profit orgs anonymously and fairly cheap (think it costs like tenbux) which the suppliers generally take into account. Most of popular synthetic drugs are 50s-60s chemistry anyway, as long as you can get the precursors unmonitored it's fairly easy to make. Even the RCs generally come in high (98%+) purity, the only problem is that nobody knows how you're going to react to them, but if you're eating brand new untested synths you're probably off the deep end anyway.

I'm going to keep this post short because I'm hopped up on xannies and it's only a matter of time until I pass out.

Mr. Weed is truly a good friend. Today he rang on my doors to ask if I'm doing okay because I haven't been heard from for a whole week. I'm not doing so hot, decided to go back to Citalopram SSRI because I'm in this unfortunate state when even the smallest impulse sends me over the edge - today I had a cup of turkish coffee and it sent me right into the meltdown mode. gently caress feeling alive and feeling emotions, when something as insignificant as coffee wrecks my poo poo utterly and completely, just just know that things ain't right and I'd rather spend the rest of my days being a meek, medicated drooly than having to deal with panic attacks on a daily basis. I've been taking Citalopram for five or six years and it was an utterly uneventful ride - which is precisely the point! :)

No emotions, no meltdowns. It's a small price to pay, all things considered.

And I don't like xanax, not one bit. Gets me woozy and subdued, but after taking the pills I feel like I'm still flipping the gently caress out, down at some base level. Not the greatest of feelings, but this night I actually might catch a wink of sleep because I've been having recurrent nightmares from which I'm usually not able to wake up. Bloody hell.

My other druggie buddy is not doing so hot either. Last time I spoke to him, couple of months ago, he rambled incoherently about ordering Internet Ketamine and that's the last I've heard from him. Hope he's not dead.

I'll go back to posting funny stories after I pull myself together. Give me a couple of days for Citalopram to kick in, and I promise I won't disappoint you.
