How to avoid everything Love Island

ShlugEireann · 01-07-2019 01:11PM #1

I don't watch the programme mainly because it's absolute braindead rubbish but I get jealous whenever I see talks of it online etc. These people are essentially millionaires now because they are goodlooking.

I am constantly reminded. For example I go to rte website and there's an article with the Irish girls face. I looked up the instagram before and she has half a million followers. I just get jealous someone goes from normal to wealthy...particularly when it's not for achieving anything other than being attractive.

Every news site seems to have articles about it (I don't click into them).

Here I am stuck in an office for 40+ hours a week with 4 weeks off a week house sharing with idiots while I near 30.

So, how does one avoid it all?

Is that you Francis?

Girl from Longford isn't special, there's better looking women on every halting site in the county.

If it makes you feel better, I'm outrageously good looking and not quite a millionaire yet.

Dravokivich · 01-07-2019 01:19PM

All I know is, theres a thing called love island. I know no more than that.

If you want any help in how to know nothing about something, you probably shouldn't subscribe to my news letter.

What's Love Island?

Gimme A Pound · 01-07-2019 01:21PM

I easily avoid it.

And don't feel disappointed that you're not a dumb chav.

If you don't watch it, then how would you know it's braindead rubbish?

Its garbage TV, but easily avoided. I see the odd instagram post from spin 1038 about it but that's it.

How do you manage 4 weeks off a week?

Sounds like you've it pretty well worked out if you ask me.

Step 1: Make a thread about it.

Looking forward to Love Island Ireland. I hear they are renting a house for it on Inis Mor. Doesn't matter how good looking you are when you're wearing rain proof gear and enough scarves to stave off a frostbitten nose.

Some of them have killed themselves if that makes you feel any better?

Here's how to avoid it: don't watch it, don't click things about it, don't be consumed by bizarre jealousy and resentment towards people who don't know you exist and have no bearing on your life. Maybe in reverse order.

I've never had a 3some but I know I'd enjoy it.

Go on maternity leave and move house - haven't been able to watch TV in about 2 weeks with the moving, TV not set up yet, and the baby who just won't go the f*** to sleep.

You don't have colleagues who talk about this stuff and the other parents you meet are also too sleep deprived to watch that rubbish.

Though having a baby just to get out of watching Love Island is a fairly drastc step.

The dumb chav has a better life than me. In a villa becoming wealthy.

Because I know what it's about. I've happened upon enough tv reviewers and daytime tv interviews to know what it's about.

Its a poor reflection on todays society that people become celebrities and furthermore millionaires based on their looks and vanity.

I guess its us the public that are feeding such nonsense. I think we would all be a lot happier if we switched off from it.

Well I knew that was going to be a reply, but that's like replying to a question about how to get over an ex with "step 1: create a thread about it."

It's easily avoided.
You don't watch it, read news articles, etc.
Some people like the drama tough. They give out mad about threads on here, people on Twitter and people in reality but normally I find these people seek out the thing they want to avoid!

Go to the rte website and it's one of the 4 stories under the main headline...

Scanning over it is enough to be reminded of it.

That's your first problem. Its like looking for an intelligent look at the days events from John Joe the alco up the road who shouts at cats.

Love Island is actually a peninsula.

Boom_Bap · 01-07-2019 01:56PM

So you look at the RTE website and think Love Island is braindead!
