For Jip, Lulu, Koop, Nina, and Moff, the dead-end jobs they endure during the week just kill the time until Friday night. That's when they cut very loose and get on the rollercoaster ride that takes them right through to Monday morning.

there are two audio Easter eggs on the page: Fallout 2 narration if you hover on the header image of the man watching tv from "Brazil" movie and if you hover "Unlisted Retrograde Holdout" text you will hear voice from "Human Traffic"
For anyone who likes jungle and is not familiar with the UK cult classic film Human Traffic, you must at least see "the jungle scene" https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ChSg0-r_jqA&pp=ygUUSHVtYW4gdHJhZmZpYyBqdW5nbGU%3D
If you were part of the rave scene, you should watch the whole film, it's full of comedy and nostalgia of those hedonistic times. One of my all time favourite films.
MDMA, when I used it, was always combined with dancing or walking or physical activity. I also always had a coming down which had a bottom peak a few days after (the infamous Tuesday dip). With psilocybin I had not much of a coming down, at worst a headache the day after. With MDMA though, the coming down additionally had my mood being down as well. I become agitated and inward, very much in contrast to the peak and moderate upper effect (there are some movies which portrait this, such as the movie Human Traffic [1]). Then again, this is anecdotal, and I am very sensitive to drugs in general, especially the contrasts (alcohol, beer makes me often tired, MDMA, SSRIs, amphetamine). The reason for that might very well be related to ASD, I do not know for sure though. I just know that I do have ASD. But because I have ASD, my anecdotal experience isn't typical in this case. However the Tuesday dip is widely known among MDMA users.

Enlighten me, what's the the British accent popular in movies like Football Factory, Human Traffic etc. which I find cool
They will be London accents; of which there is quite a broad range anyway. It can be a pretty strong accent.
* while every Brit I've met in my life had this 'royal' accent I personally don't find understandable*
Queens English should be pretty understandable; so it might not be what you've heard (the whole point of it is precise pronunciation and erudition). "Normal" baseline English can vary quite a lot; down in the south they tend to clip words (my mother does this) and, if speaking quickly, it can be hard to follow.
We also have a tendancy to mumble :)
Enlighten me, what's the the British accent popular in movies like Football Factory, Human Traffic etc. which I find cool; while every Brit I've met in my life had this 'royal' accent I personally don't find understandable (sorry, no offence)? Actors of international-targetted movies use some other accent for a certain effect?
Also, once I've met a guy AFAIR south London or sth, he spoke that his wife told me even most of Brits don't get him (it was an accent, not just that he was mumbling).
