Windsor 2,230 Posted January 4, 2021 It may surprise learned friends of the forum that I am not overly critical of Nicola Sturgeon's tyranny with the COIVD-19. What is starting to get on my tits are the loyal cybernats who feel the need to praise her for locking them in their hoose for a month. "You're doing it for us, Nicola". "The measures should be stricter, Nicola". "We're so lucky, Nicola". If she went round their house and gave them a Glasgow kiss they would be right on the Facebook showing off their blackeyes as some sort of honour. Yet it is the Unionists who are the sheep. Baaaa.

Charles De Gaulle 484 Posted January 6, 2021 Waking up late. I hate waking up past 10:00am so much. It makes the day disappear so much quicker. Plus I am after missing my Zoom meetings for my college which sucks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,230 Posted January 16, 2021 The neighbour in the flat upstairs constantly flouts the COVID-19 restrictions by inviting friends back to her place thus I have to put up with music and her extremely irritating, forced laugh from her which I can distinctly hear wherever I am in my flat. I'm not one for grassing on neighbours - after all we have to live beside each other. But it is a very annoying laugh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Windsor 2,230 Posted January 19, 2021 I follow the Royal Family on Facebook because they are just lovely! The comments left though are, on the whole, quite fucking irritating. All’s it takes is for one unfortunate poster to mix HRH titles with HM titles and they all pounce! THAT TITLE BELONGS TO THE QUEEN! And then they explain it in the most pompous way possible, taking sharp inhales of their own farts as they go. My most favourite posts are the ones which involve anything to do with the Duchess of Cornwall. Even if she personally discovered the cure for cancer, if she is in the picture the Diana fans would react with angry face emojis. The reason they are my most favourite is I hate Diana fans and enjoy replying to their deranged comments usually along the following lines: Allegation: Diana died because of you! My usual reply: the paparazzi didn’t chase her down that tunnel because Camilla wanted photos of Diana. They did it because obsessed fans like you wanted more pictures. Allegation: When middle aged women note that Camilla is fat and ugly compared to Diana. My reply: It was comments like that which led to Diana spewing up her ringer on a regular basis. Through these efforts I’m hopeful of an MBE from King Charlie...because clearly they read the comments section. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

torbrexbones 717 Posted January 21, 2021 Quote The Queensferry Crossing has been closed in both directions due to the risk of falling ice. The Scottish government touted this bridge as a symbol for what an independent Scotland could do but wait a minute, ice on a bridge in Scotland, who thought that could ever happen?

Toast 16,026 Posted January 21, 2021 Amazon have stopped me from leaving reviews, because I haven't spent £40 with them in a year. Or so they think. Actually I have, but my friend orders for me on his Prime account so they come post-free and quicker. Nothing wrong with that, a Prime account covers everyone in the household which we sort of are. I don't often leave reviews, but I do sometimes leave comments on reviews, and I can't even do that now. Bloody annoying. or even comments on reviews Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gcreptile 10,909 Posted February 9, 2021 I just read that the production of Bitcoins demands as much electricity as Norway. Something is seriously wrong with us as a species. Such an economic waste, the sole purpose is to get money out of nothing. And so indicative of every economic bubble, i.e. pricing goods according to speculation but without an economic need. Regular currencies are backed by the economic power of their countries, but Bitcoin? Probably powered by its purchasing power, too, which is not countries, but in the end, illegal businesses.

Great Uncle Bulgaria 1,268 Posted February 10, 2021 The growth of supposedly 'vox pop' stories on BBC (and probably other sites) that are nothing but 'Influencers' and minor media types promoting themselves. Influencer: 'Why I stopped working with Klarna'? This is a prime example on BBC today. May be an age thing, but I don't 'get' the whole influencer thing at all. Why would someone (say) book a hotel just because someone else (usually a moderately attractive if over made up woman with suspiciously perfect teeth) has managed to blag herself a freebie stay there in exchange for writing a 5* review about it on some social media site? If Douglas Adams was writing about the 'useless third of the population' today (see 'Hitch-hiker's guide to the Galaxy' for the uninitiated) he'd have 'Influencers' at the top of the list. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
