Ah yes, sweet relief. Soon, after it heals.
Got surgery on both feet today, local only so I got to be awake for the whole thing. First one was a little awake so I got to be Mr. Trooper and IGNORED THE PAIN! Smartened up after that and had the doc load up the second foot with anesthetic. Soon as I'm healed up I'll be able to play soccer! Or stub my toe with less than blinding pain. Hurray!

With Oz, the real problem is the social side isn't as good as it could be. Alcohol is HUGELY expensive (and as a Scot, I can't support that shit) and to be honest people just aren't as good banter. Obviously it could just be that I'm in the wrong place at the wrong time, but there's just so little really awesome chat on a night out. It's almost too politically correct, people are so easily offended even just by simple swearing. I dunno, I might just be in the totally wrong places but it just doesn't kick enough ass for my liking.
And ah, the jumped thing was the saddest shit ever. One of the first groups I joined was "Atheists" being that I'm a total heathen. But shortly after joining I found it wasn't so much a group about Atheism as it was just a bunch of douchebags running their own private club. I came in and made a point about "extremism" being a lie being that it's typically the most devout that are called extremists. Suddenly I have on guy calling me a "sith" which is a fucking Star Wars term. I thought that one guy was just high, but then other people started using it. Turns out there was about 5 or 6 in this group (including the group leader) who were all about this bullshit. I started calling them out on it, throwing around insults (the 'RULES' thread stated you can call anyone anything and there were no rules). Suddenly the group leader FREAKS out and starts messaging me, going mental and generally being a retard. In the end, I showed her the "rules" thread and she replaced it with one that was totally tame. Did she apologise for giving me grief when my actions went entirely under the current rules? No. The clique is still there and I just ignore it now.
Thing is, shortly after that, the 5 or 6 people were obviously telling everyone about me. Now I've been disallowed from joining the SGAU group because the leader is part of that same clique of douchebags. He's pathetic enough to have written me this big bitchy email RIDDLED with inaccuracies, and before letting me tear it apart, he puts me on ignore. Sad, sad children. Little do they realise that being dickheads to new people on any community is the first step in destroying a community. You can already see SG is starting to suffer as new people aren't being welcomed as much as they should. It's their money, y'know
