Someone has just lost a finger in the tooling at work, the gaffers were straight out blaming the lad while waiting for the medical staff, completely unnecessary behaviour, and they wonder why I didn't rush back to work when I was off, cunts.

People at work, particularly those in more senior roles, who can't be bothered to do their jobs and just push things back onto you.

For various different parts of my job I have four different people to report today. Today I've tried to escalate two things up to managers as it needs them to make a decision and basically been told to sort it myself. Also had a potential sale come in so passed it to sales who told me to deal with it myself!

On top of that we've just recruited a marketing person and the first thing they've done is ask for ideas for marketing and for us to supply content. She's been recruited as a specialist in our field, surely that's her job!

All these people are probably on twice what I'm earning and seem to do next to nothing.

I had my first computer aged 4. It’s 2020 FFS. My daughter uses tech for music, reading, education and keeping in contact with a split family.

Some people need to realise it’s not 1980 and a phone is hardly cutting edge tech these days.

When you were 4 did your computer have access to porn and other highly inappropriate content? Were you spending all day glued to it like a zombie?

To simply dismiss the issue of kids having smartphones as "people not be cool enough to dig it" is really quite embarrassingly reductive as research has proven it to be detrimental to kids in a number of ways, not only mentally but physically.

Now I'm not saying kids shouldn't have monitored access to a smartphone or iPad for an hour or so a night but just handing them one for good isn't at all sensible and from anecdotal evidence alone I know most parents just do this to shut their kids up and have a quiet life which to me is a c**t move.

All my kids devices are locked down because I’m not a simpleton. They get enough exercise and have screen time limited. And please show this research because the Royal College of Pediatrics and Child Health doesn’t agree with you in its meta analysis: The health impacts of screen time - a guide for clinicians and parents

It’s not about being cool, it’s about realising it’s the 21st century and smart devices aren’t just porn or “turn people into zombies”.

You’re the same as people who thought rock music was the devil fifty years ago. Sorry you got old

My lads got a tablet but it’s a ‘treat’ to play on it and he has to behave well to get anywhere near it. And then it’s 20 minutes max. Never when we are out. It’s totally locked down with parental controls as well.

Someone I’ve got on Facebook from school, every photo they post of their kid he’s glued to a tablet. Even a video of his birthday when they are singing bringing the cake out he doesn’t even look up.

I'm sorry that you've took such offence to being called c**t by proxy that you've gone so defensive.

You're a c**t. You're a c**t now, you've always been a c**t, and the only thing that's gonna change is you're going to become an even bigger c**t. And maybe have some more c**t smartphone kids.

You're obviously one of the sensible ones. Sorry if I inadvertently called you a c**t.

Caught him on Norton on Friday night
Won't slag him personally but don't see it
The track he sang sounded like he'd ripped off the melody from a Glasvegas track
I felt a bit sorry for him sitting on the sofa
Seemed uncomfortable under the spotlight ,don't think the other guests knew how to take him , couldn't string two words together without including f**k or f**kin ,this is just observation not criticising per say

I saw that too and it made me like him more as a person. He seemed quite down to earth, self deprecating and a bit drunk. Not at all media trained and uptight like the usual Norton guests.

I can't stand his music though. It's just Ed Sheeran with an annoying Scottish twang and it's every fucking where and people actually like it!

Feeling in the mood to play a game. Switching on the Xbox. Selecting the game. Getting a notification that the game needs an update of 7 GB which will take an hour.

Some games need to be updated nearly every week and it's mostly bollocks DLC content nobody wants.

I'm on Virgin unlimited Broadband too so god knows how annoying it is to people on slower lines.

Christ.

I feel sorry for the kids that get an Xbox One or PS4 for Christmas / birthday and realise that they have to download the initial console update and then download a whole game (if it's a digital version) which in a lot of cases will not be done on the day.

People who pretend they are a celebrity or have a career in something.

"Matchday Commentator for local Pub team"

Basically, pretentious Millenial cunts who love a title or some sort of self importance.

My cousins parents bought him a PS2 steering wheel one Christmas without realising that it needs to be plugged into a console which he didn't have.

It was an official F1 wheel too. Must have cost over £100 and he couldn't do anything with it. He asked to borrow mine but I just got GTA San Andreas so there was no hope.

Non technical people (again) just compared development and data science to working in a call centre. Sorry we can’t all have an A-Level in Media Studies like the fucking marketing department.

Fucking Tony Blair making these chancers think their fuckery is on the same level as actual engineering and science.
