Shillzz Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I absolutely agree about the people who swarm around the reduced stuff in tescos. I was there last week, and one individual took it upon themselves to load the entire contents of the reduced aisle into their basket, leaving nothing for anyone else (even though there were people waiting).

Someone did that when I was there once .. they were selling those novelty birthday cakes reduced from £9.99 to 50p and this woman took all 8 of them ... so when she left her trolley unguarded I made a point of taking 5 of them out of and took them back around to the isle ... keeping one for myself of course Edited August 5, 2013 by tonyh29 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Aaaaaand I'm back! Had a lovely birthday at the weekend, but I have now been informed that I am no longer a Princess. Wah! How much attention does one need? is it for real or tongue in cheek though ... At the Smithsonian in DC they have the Enola Gay and I took a picture and uploaded it saying "cool the Americans named a plane after a song by OMD" .. one of my friends went off on a bit of a rant about me not knowing my history so somethings can clearly just get lost in translation 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shillzz Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I hate Facebook. But it's a necessary evil. Are you sure you hate Facebook, or do you actually hate the people you've befriended on there? We have done this one a few times in the past, though it remains a good topic. Facebook holds up a mirror to the society you live in, if you hate Facebook then you need to get some more friends, or conduct a cull. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you really pick the friends you "befriend" on Facebook though? Because people might look at you funny if you refuse to "friend" them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I "friend" and "unfriend" on a regular basis (as many VTers will tell you). I fully expect people to do the same to me. I'm not precious about it.

Absolutely, but then you run the risk of only getting 10 happy birthdays and subsequently tarred with the 'loner' brush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legov Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Do that, and you end up suffering when you find yourself sitting beside the friend you "unfriend-ed" in class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see them every day in class, you don't really need to FB them. I had a work colleague (sits opposite me) send me a FB friend request and I refused. He seemed a bit miffed, but I explained as above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morpheus Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 Governmental Institutions for passing the buck. Trying to get a sign erected on the gable wall side of my home to stop kids bike, scooter and skate board riding down the side of my property. Contacted the local council and they then referred me to the Road Service who then tried to refer me back to the local council. F**k!*g idiots the whole lot of them. I'm bloody turning into... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
