No I meant just in general on the programme a contestant will look like that. Was just doing it to be a bit of a knob & I succeeded!! Great success!

The tiny plastic screw caps which Morrison's now fit to all their plastic bottles, they're almost impossible to unscrew without dropping them on the floor. :arghh:

Controversial one, but...

People who post a tribute to a recently-deceased family member on Facebook. No genuine mourner I've ever come across (myself included) has felt like shouting about their grief publicly, so why on Facebook? It's just attention-seeking and fishing for likes/sympathy. Frankly, quite pathetic. Nice one Charlotte, 22, I'm sure Great-Aunt Doris will finally be able to rest in peace now knowing you've churned out a 50-liker in her memory.

Serial mourners. Lad I work with used to go to friends aunts, and the likes funerals. People he'd never met but would just go along with whoever knew the deceased at any chance he got. WTF?

Camper vans

Especially camper vans that leave a bisy car park first after an event, and then hold everyone else up by being too large to get down the bloody road when a car is coming in the opposite direction.

Just wait a bit. By definition of having a camper van you're in your sodding bedroom for the night, anyway!

I did that .

My brother died and died a horrible death all alone in a motel room in the States, so I did put something up on Facebook.

He had no-one over there and none of his former friends or colleagues in England knew about his death, so I told informed them and then turned his page into a memorial page. The only contacts I had for him was by going through his Facebook page and seeing who were his friends on there and that was the only way of getting in touch.

The funeral was a very simple affair over there with just two people attending and no service was held back here in the UK.

Sorry you think it was pathetic and attention seeking.

Fair enough if you're doing it as a means of notifying people. No different to a death notice in a paper really. But people do seem to go over the top these days with the way they react when people they barely knew pass, even worse when its a celebrity.

Yes, agree.

It wasn't ideal, but it was all I could do. I ONLY got his friends through going through his Facebook page.

Some people I am sure do go way over the top.

It was.

He went over there got married, but it all fell apart and his was living in a motel apartment.

He had accumulated some debts over here (which we only found out about later) and that was the reason he never came back home.

He ended up just living hand to mouth in a motel room and died there and was left undiscovered for a number of days. All very sad.

The only things he had left was a watch, just a few dollars in his wallet and some drawings he had done.

You feel so helpless so many miles away. We had said several times we would pay for him to come home, but he never would.

There's no option to leave it out from individual posts on the current version of the board, it has to be included after every post or none at all.

I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you didn't take offence to what I posted.

I agree with using Facebook in this respect; clearly a tragic death, and one in which probably the easiest way to inform a lot of people of his passing would be via Facebook.

But when people I know, who dedicated very little of their time to the recently-deceased individual whilst they were alive, post an essay about their passing, being sure to include the standard "always remember you" "I'll try and make you proud" in the hope of getting a decent amount of likes. Why? Who do they have on Facebook that isn't already aware of the death, but needs to know this? I can't understand it.

I'm off Facebook now so don't have to browse the like anymore.

No, no offence taken.

In our house SBT is known as the Home of the Sweeping Statement anyway.

I happen to escape the net this time out. I agree with a lot of what you are saying.

Yes, under the previous version you could include it or exclude it for each post. You no longer have that option.

I done that

Basically friends convinced me to open the account but then I decided it was shit and a waste of time so never used it, ended up deleting it eventually.

Bollards.

Has anyone driven by the Belgrade since they installed about 50 concrete square bollards.
Whilst I really like the layout, every one of the bollards have already been hit by cars and buses .
One has even been uprooted it's been hit such force.
It's not just the fact of bad driving, they're really distracting to the driver, last time I drove through them all I didn't even realise I was going over a zebra crossing, luckily nobody was on the Road.

Needs a major rethink like right now
