I have to agree. Never has a stand out game or really seems to influence events or score regularly. Trouble is who else do we have have that can come in and be better and on more consistent basis

As I walked off the course I recognised an old mate that I hadn't seen for a while walking out of the clubhouse. Walked over to speak to him and found a shell of the man and the golfer I used to know. Bloody horrible illness.

Couples who wish each other happy birthday, thank each other for for presents, basically have conversations online via social media when they actually live together and will have had those conversations already face to face. Weird, pointless, narcissistic.

Add to that parents that wish their children happy birthday on Facebook etc when the child is too young to have a Facebook account.
When a colleague goes away and assures you all his work is up to date and you’ve spent the past 2 days sorting his shite out.
Also another colleague who hasn’t told a client about a rather important exclusion on a policy she’s quoted and now that’s left to me to sort out

I spent last week making sure all my work was meticulously up to date, and wrote detailed how to do notes for my main tasks as I was leaving and I knew the department had an experienced member off on leave this week and a new(ish) manager returning from two weeks leave. Got a flurry of emails and calls asking for help because they couldn't do some very basic work that the manager should be able to do blindfold and is bread and butter stuff. I came over (with permission from my new boss) as a one off but even tonight after a further two hours walking them through everything the questions continue. Feel quite annoyed as I deliberately didn't want to leave them in the lurch after 11 years in the department and they wouldn't have me to call on had I left the organisation

Oh thats why i deleted facebook! I started to tell people to get a grip etc and to just speak to their wife/partner etc. It didnt go down well. Can i add in the pressure that my wife's circle of friend give on not liking a picture or post on Insta or FB, Its unreal! Some of the strops i have heard because someone didn't like a picture! Its mental. My wife and I are FB and Insta free!

Picking up my new car this coming Thursday, only for the Mrs to drive it to Kent to take fil out to tea on Friday. Fine. But it is my new car, and I do not want him to contaminate it. He is a revolting specimen, with the personal hygene of a skunk. He borrowed a £230 pair of Oakleys off me for an hour, and I have since thrown them in the bin, he is that disgusting.

Reading Facebook is a miserable experience nowadays. I don't even know why I still have it. The only people that seem to still enjoy it are flat earthers and middle-aged racists.

A lot of it is painful, it sure is convenient for arranging events though. I mainly use it for that, and keeping abreast of sports news (following golf and football pages etc).

Well I’m on Facebook and I’m mature and capable enough to filter out what I don’t want to see or read , I have also found it to be a very useful tool over the years , being on local groups has been extremely useful and we have managed to sell or buy loads of stuff. It’s the same as any of the Social Media sites - always a choice and can always just slide on by anything you don’t want to read

Further to my last post, i actually have facebook again, but purely for reading, i accept no friends and nothing clogs up my timeline i dont want to see. I just follow a few sports groups etc.

I see very little benefit in most social media and on balance its availability on smartphones is seriously harming how people interact and behave in public
And the Random Irritation... celebs who tweet condolence message when other celebs die, if they really cared they'd send a personal message or call the relatives (but their 'followers' wouldn't see that would they!)

Even worse when news agencies including BBC, ITV quote that 'Bono and madonna have sent condolences via twitter' who cares?

Agree
If you switched off twitter tomorrow what harm would it do, what negative impact would there be?
I get forums (obviously) I don't use but can understand what was supposed to happen on FB (even if it doesn't) but I just don't get what twitter is supposed to do

Well I use it for porn, can be quite handy then.
