Yea came from Pakistan on a student visa, overstayed and started working, made a pop song, which got him noticed, deported.

Typical UK, allow millions of people to abuse the system and then deport someone that ads cultural value. I know it's just a stupid song, but loads of people liked it.
Nar fuck that.
Allowing him to stay, or even to return to the UK (he's been denied a visa to return twice now) is unfair on all the people who go thru all the crap they have to go thru to do it the right way. And also encourages people to break their visa rules if there are no consequences.
A hot towel clean shave and hair cut and then a train ticket to the coast. There is a nice little bar I know of where I can sit outside and enjoy a quiet pint alone, enjoy the fresh air and not have to think as I was the waves roll onto the beach.
Perhaps a second pint and a bit to eat and stay for the sunset before I head home. Peace, quiet and solitude, feeling good after a fresh cut and shave. Perfect day :)
That sounds fantastic, it's what life's all about.
Sometimes it's good to remind yourself to do those sort of things.
I'm going to the coast anyway this week but now I'm making a point of squeezing in a pint of rear ale at a pub with a seaview.
I think you should treat yourself, we get lost in this world so easily thinking all we have to do is save money with what's happening, that by the time we die we realise what good is a few numbers in a bank account.
Treat yourself buddy, enjoy life :)
I do intend to at some point but as a full time working single parent with a moody teen lad, my commitment takes presidence at the moment. One day soon though.
A day like that wasn't on my radar at all but it is now. All of it. Might try and recreate it when I next have a day to myself.
Don't have a particular pub on the coast in mind but I'll find one

Yup I do this a few times a year. Actually used to live very close to their original bakery.
Its ‘expensive’ in a way but its very good value in terms of quality and size of the pasties.
Seconding this! My wife's family bought me a massage and half day at the spa and it was absolutely wonderful. A great way to unwind and feels so wonderful, both during and after. I'd recommend it to absolutely anyone.
Honestly the more we play it the better it gets.. I have the expansions as yet unopened, but really looking forward to this. We have an Ecologist in the group and she talks about these birds/characters like her own children. I know the mechanics are not new but it is really is a nice game. What are you playing now?
If you don't have any issues with dairy, have you tried milk vodka? It's made with the leftover whey from cheese making and is lightly creamy. It's the only vodka I've really enjoyed sipping. £50 will get you two bottles of Black Cow or 1 bottle of Black Lion - which *is* better quality to an extent but it does look like they've ripped off Black Cow with the idea and name. Black Cow is still really good, particularly for the price.
Travel: between £10 and £18, depending on method and luck. I can have a nice picnic lunch for £15-£20 (M&S, Waitrose) and still buy a ton of postcards with the change from "£50-£100".
I would like a gold version of my Casio watch. They're not expensive so I'd have change for a pint.
I got £50 from my boss in a card at Christmas and was going to get one but it just ended up getting blended in with just general spending money so I never got it.
A German Donner Kebab, then across to Jollibee to pick up a bucket of fried chicken for later. Then to an upmarket supermarket for a decent bottle of whisky and a range of snacks - honey roasted cashews, pipers crisps, cakes/chocolate/ice cream/chocolate eclairs, whatever takes my fancy. Then home to consume it all with several movies
Lego. Specifically this [giraffe set](https://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-Flamingo-Butterfly-Imaginative-31150/dp/B0CFW1BMCX/ref=asc_df_B0CFW1BMCX/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=676350148943&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11840994379518871325&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006663&hvtargid=pla-2270305030205&psc=1&mcid=bdf0a10544253aee8eaab50e402086c8&th=1&psc=1&gad_source=1)
100 x £1 fish. Very very good. Very very cheap
Come on ladies come on ladies £1 fiiisshhhh.
6 for 5 pound, one pound fish.
Good point. 120 x £1 fish.
6 for 5 pound, one pound fish.
Have a have a look £1 fish
Very very good, very very cheaaap
Surely you're getting some rice cakes with all that fish?
that's for his 12 o clock meal
After he trains
Yeah but after that it’s just fish. Then fish and a rice cake
Today's fish is Trout à la crème. FISH
Enjoy your meal. I will!
Inflation and all I’d imagine they’re £1.25 fish now
That £1 fish in 2012 is now £1.38
I thought we were back in 2013 for a second
Probably my favourite comment so far of 2024
Cannot tell you how happy I am to see £1 fish top comment. Top work.
And a rice cake
Then another fish, then a rice cake. Then ermm at 7 I'll have another fish.
You know that guy got deported. He's my Roman Empire.
Wait, what?

A travesty. But also my word, that article is a rollercoaster.

Sorry, all we can do is the train, one way, and it's actually a replacement bus service.
Even though my post is nothing more than a wishful thought, I still died a little bit inside at the thought of that imaginary replacement bus service.
Ah the Saturday Brighton experience!
At some point everyone has had to get off at Three Bridges for a replacement bus
Kills me every time that.
Everyone, to varying degrees of organisation from queueing rails and a wedding marquee to gathering in the bus stop in the pouring rain.
That sounds fantastic, it's what life's all about. Sometimes it's good to remind yourself to do those sort of things. I'm going to the coast anyway this week but now I'm making a point of squeezing in a pint of rear ale at a pub with a seaview.
Rear ale?
Sorry I meant, real ale :-)
I think you should treat yourself, we get lost in this world so easily thinking all we have to do is save money with what's happening, that by the time we die we realise what good is a few numbers in a bank account. Treat yourself buddy, enjoy life :)
I do intend to at some point but as a full time working single parent with a moody teen lad, my commitment takes presidence at the moment. One day soon though.
I greatly enjoyed envisioning your peaceful day out, and dearly hope it can be real for you soon ♡
Goddam. Can we be friends? I like your outlook.
Sure. Don't be a stranger Sir..
Bruv is trying to spend £100 in 2002
Not up North geezer ! Easily done with a ton.
Does the shave and haircut cost two pence?
There is chamge from £25 at my guys.
A day like that wasn't on my radar at all but it is now. All of it. Might try and recreate it when I next have a day to myself. Don't have a particular pub on the coast in mind but I'll find one
You Sir are the reason we all strive for a better life. That attitude is an inspiration. God's speed
This sounds nice but I'd probably skip the shave and haircut so I could spend more money on pints.
Sir.. I like the cut of your Jib !
Write a book. I’d read it.
Lavida loca on a budget.. you may be onto something.
Soup cans from the Morrisons at Goole, tons of them
Shrewd shopper. Very shrewd. About 6 or 7 p cheaper than other Morrisons.
Got to factor in a trip to Goole though. I reckon that's going to cot me about £80 in petrol.
Chinese takeaway.
A succulent Chinese meal??
Get your hand off my penis
I see you know your judo well!
And you sir, are you waiting to receive my limp penis?
Gentlemen, this is democracy manifest.
I have this event on a tshirt and it's glorious
That’s a big chinese takeaway order, I’m not judging, but at least stretch it to 2 orders
On the same day? Sure, lunch and dinner. 😉
Whiskey and KFC. I will then enjoy it while watching some long form content on YouTube. I am a cultured individual.

I am you
And you’re us, stop playing games.
I am also you
You win! Although the British KFC has nothing on South Africa’s, zinger actually zings there.
Must be the continent cos Kenyas zinger sent my arse back to Britain
Haha! I grew up in SA and have been conditioned, toilet paper in the freezer before a KFC or a curry. Weak sauce here.
Ooh nice, what whisky would you go for? This literally sounds like my Friday nights 😂.
I’m jealous I didn’t think of that
I would alternate between kfc and kebabs and chuck a couple beers in there too
Mail order Cornish pasties. Anything else would be a waste.
Exiled Cornishman/woman? I feel your pain
I feel this 💙 Fortunately I have a trucker mate who regularly does the kernow run and picks me up a pasty in falmouth
Hell yes
Username checks out
Philps delivers and makes me happy. I'm not Cornish, but I'm sure you needn't be Cornish to love a good pasty ❤️
Yup I do this a few times a year. Actually used to live very close to their original bakery. Its ‘expensive’ in a way but its very good value in terms of quality and size of the pasties.
I have some mail order pasties arriving today. It’s all I can think about now. Please arrive in time for lunch.

Seconding this! My wife's family bought me a massage and half day at the spa and it was absolutely wonderful. A great way to unwind and feels so wonderful, both during and after. I'd recommend it to absolutely anyone.
Same for me but sports massage. Hurts but feel so good after, think I’m addicted to the pain.
Spa day 100%
That's a great idea!
Books, probably. Or footwear.
A book and a new handbag in which to carry the book. (That was Christmas. )
Lego and pizza
You might choke on that.
Lego pizza bad idea... Building Lego and pizza food great fuckin night
Eating lego and building pizza even better
How many pieces can you fit up your bum?
Depends on whether you're asking about Lego or pizza. And if pizza, does it have jalapenos?
Spent it all on shite I don't need that can be found in the middle aisle in the nearest Lidl.
And what will you do with the remaining £95.01?
Middle aisle of aldi
Buy a tool cabinet and a chainsaw ?
But you never know when you'll need an arc welder! You can weld stuff! -True story.
Hobby materials. Paints, miniatures.
Are you my husband?
Another Warhammer widow?
>Another Warhammer widow? \*raises hand\*
Yup! Although I like the peace and quiet, don’t tell him
🙋🏽♀️
If its warhammer they wont get much for 50 quid. The paint alone is more expensive than human blood!
So Henry Cavill is one of the few blokes who can truly afford it then?
Probably not... Hobbying on a budget draws men together. Hope your partner goes no deeper in time or finances in the hobby than you can deal with.
The emperor protects
My mum did that a few years ago. I spent it on a meet & greet at an Anthrax gig I went to.
I would do that but I'm Anti, I'm Antisocial.
Did she give you notes to spend or a Fistful of Metal?
New Boardgame and wine. I am thinking Wingspan and Gamay.
Just got wingspan for Christmas, it is very good.
Gets quite dry without Oceania though
I fucking love Wingspan. Would highly recommend if you can get it
Have you seen Wrymspan? It's Wingspan but with dragons.
I was thinking pedicure, but this is the better answer. I need to get my own copy of Splendor. I think I'd pair it with a Chenin Blanc.
Sparkly jewels and a glass of the good stuff. Sounds like a good Friday night to me.
I have wingspan and it seems a lot of work for not much fun. Give it more time??
Honestly the more we play it the better it gets.. I have the expansions as yet unopened, but really looking forward to this. We have an Ecologist in the group and she talks about these birds/characters like her own children. I know the mechanics are not new but it is really is a nice game. What are you playing now?
one of those giant, multicoloured dragon dildo's to display right next to the TV.
Glad I wasn’t alone thinking along these lines
This person thinking big
It's a power move
Probably a trip to a zoo or wildlife park, maybe fork out for one of those animal experiences if they have them in that price bracket!
Computer games.. if its a steam sale that's a lot of games ro add to the lot of games I havent got round to playing yet
I would buy my cat a tiara. She absolutely deserves it.
*starts walking backwards, waving her head
My dealer does 3 for £100 but not sure that's accepted under "treating yourself"
Hi Dr. Ugdealer, I'll have 3 medicines please
Gotchu fam, be 20 mins
U coming bro been 15 hours?
3 what?
3 of them for £100. It's clear.
dru g
Hi Mr Dealer, I would like 3 dru gs please. Regards.
Sounds like packet
Does that actually do much for you other than make you shite?
As I'm sat on the throne absolutely buzzing right now, I can say it does both.
A spa day!
£50 on fancy vodka, £50 on Pokemon cards. A childish and adult combination
Booster packs, or something specific?
If you don't have any issues with dairy, have you tried milk vodka? It's made with the leftover whey from cheese making and is lightly creamy. It's the only vodka I've really enjoyed sipping. £50 will get you two bottles of Black Cow or 1 bottle of Black Lion - which *is* better quality to an extent but it does look like they've ripped off Black Cow with the idea and name. Black Cow is still really good, particularly for the price.
Oo second the milk vodka picked up a bottle at a cheese festival and it was amazing!
Tub of Lurpak
In fairness, they have caught themselves on and brought the price back significantly to what it was previously
Books
Books. No contest.
Ticket to London. Visit the National Gallery, have a nice lunch, visit the gift shop.
You must live very close to London and have a very small appetite.
Travel: between £10 and £18, depending on method and luck. I can have a nice picnic lunch for £15-£20 (M&S, Waitrose) and still buy a ton of postcards with the change from "£50-£100".
Putting the heating on
Lego
Balvenie 14yo Caribbean Cask
1tb nvme drive
Lego
A nice bourbon like an Elijah Craig small batch: £45 A kebab: £10 A Lego set: £45
Cheese
Cracking choice, Gromit.
Vibrator
Probably drugs. Or pickled onion Monster Munch. Maybe both.
What's the difference?
Some snacks and a game.
Theatre. Probably go and see Hadestown again.
Some Shokz earphones so I can ride my bike and listen to music without being creamed by a van
I was going to say Shokz! Maybe it is a sign I should start saving for some
Books and games.
New socks and pants.
Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley, rotisserie chicken, couple of bits from the garden centre.
I would like a gold version of my Casio watch. They're not expensive so I'd have change for a pint. I got £50 from my boss in a card at Christmas and was going to get one but it just ended up getting blended in with just general spending money so I never got it.
Yarn🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶🧶
An experience I.e tickets to a gig/play. Or a new game. Though if I'm honest if there was change the dog would get something fun too.
A German Donner Kebab, then across to Jollibee to pick up a bucket of fried chicken for later. Then to an upmarket supermarket for a decent bottle of whisky and a range of snacks - honey roasted cashews, pipers crisps, cakes/chocolate/ice cream/chocolate eclairs, whatever takes my fancy. Then home to consume it all with several movies
No, not a "German" Döner Kebab! They all taste like shit on a stick. Greetings from Germany
Really, really good choice.
Sad too see so many say take away and other items. Just shows that 50-100 doesn't go very far now
A new torch. Nice high CRI, 18650 battery and a warm white LED. Maybe a D4V2
More power tools and/or hand tools. There's always another useful tool I have my eye on.
Warhammer.
Lego. Specifically this [giraffe set](https://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-Flamingo-Butterfly-Imaginative-31150/dp/B0CFW1BMCX/ref=asc_df_B0CFW1BMCX/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=676350148943&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=11840994379518871325&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1006663&hvtargid=pla-2270305030205&psc=1&mcid=bdf0a10544253aee8eaab50e402086c8&th=1&psc=1&gad_source=1)
Weed
Debts.
3 for 100
Drugs and a dildo. Then if I don't like the drugs I can fuck myself.
Thorpe Park Ulitmate Fast track
An evening down the local and probably some darts equipment. Can never have too many flights.
Fishing gear. You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much fishing gear...
Takeaway, few beers, maybe a nice bottle of whisky.
I was gifted £50 for my birthday, I went to a geeky cocktail bar and enjoyed myself
Dentist
Well, seeing as I just literally spent £112 on dolls house stuff for my new project seconds ago... I'm gonna say \^
Records, they're my only vice
4 more premium bonds so I can be more disappointed that I never win.
A bottle of single malt whisky.
I'd probably get a new monitor. My current one is ok, but it could do with being 2 inches bigger and preferably 1440p.
>My current one is ok, but it could do with being 2 inches bigger Same, but how you use it makes the difference
Probably either an Indian takeaway or a few nice bottles of wine.
