    I suppose a fix is out of the question.

    The Oscars - even the adverts or highlights for them. Overly white teeth, plastic faces, fake smiles, fake tears and awkward political speeches.

    Guff about stuff, and stuff about guff.

    I m annoyed the head of google says people should be working 60 hours a week . Does he have children ,does he have old parents to take care of.ever hear of burnout . Oh he's a multi millionaire who has staff to do every thing and a limo personal driver .

    He never picks up kids from school or goes to a supermarket to buy food for his parents

    If you are working for a tech corporation you are a number on a spreadsheet probably no one probably cares about you in a few years you could be replaced by an Ai app

    It seems since trump got elected CEOs now feel free to say anything

    apple is the only company to not get rid of dei policy's .

    Work 6o hours in tesco you.ll be exhausted with a larger tax bill to pay

    The people at the Oscars have stylists make up artists most women get Botox every year they do,not represent normal people there was very little political comment this year even Hollywood stars are afraid of trump or don't want to lose the red state audience .

    In 5 years time will anyone care that actor x got an Oscar for film x

    More people watch Netflix various streaming apps than go to a cinema

    Cinema are like record stores a minority interest

    Hollywood is in big trouble anyway. Films are being made abroad or in other parts of the country to cut costs; Georgia for instance, has taken a lot of business away from Hollywood recently. An insider was saying that sound stages in LA that in the past would have been in constant use are now lying idle a lot of the time.

    I loved it when Ricky Gervais called them out on their pontificating bullsh!t at the 2020 Golden Globes. Basically telling them to curtail their political speeches, grab their awards and f••k off.

    Yeah its a dose of shite. Self-congratulatory nonsense.

    My TA: my throat feels like its on fire and I definitely have a head cold at minimum. I am stuck between two stools though, not go to the doctor and let myself recover naturally as I am off work next week anyway, but doing that runs the risk of me still being sick when I go on holiday during my week off.

    Trying to stop the fcuking people you may know on Facebook . I’ve googled it but nothing seems to work .

    It spent years showing me the woman my ex-husband left me for.

    And presumably the same in reverse, which always gave me a laugh.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,770 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Sharing your TA…I know none of the people it just showed me now. People from and living in Africa, Venezuela and even Belarus as well as other places…. No smart algorithms brings up those people, just plucking random people out of someplace on earth and telling me “you might now them” even though they are about 8,000 kilometres away or whatever, I don’t know them, have nothing against them but I don’t want to know them….thanks.

    Anyone who makes Loud noise that's not necessary before 10am if you have neighbours close to your gaff .

    Headline in daily mail UK star saves near naked Jenna Ortega from fans

    This is simply untrue she's wearing a long coat with a dress thats semi transparent to show off her boobs that's not nearly nude she had to rush to her car to avoid fans other celebs are going around wearing transparent dress,s that show off most of their body

    Ta people in cafes on laptops that make work phone calls go to an office if you are going to be on zoom and have the talk

    Can you not block people on Facebook ?

    Clearly staged social media clips which pretend to be real.

    & Also

    People who watch these clips and think they are real.

    Cycling to work this morning, I stopped at a set of traffic lights, half way in. (Seriously, a cyclist stopped at the lights!!) When I restarted, there was a funny clacking sound from the bike, so I got off to have a look but couldn't see a problem. I continued on, the noise persisted, but I didn't want to be late so on I went, with the noise getting quicker the faster I went.

    Hopped off the bike to clock in, and I could now hear a hissing sound.

    Stoopid screw!! 😠

    Being woken a 6am by my sons pet Quail. It whistles so loudly you can often hear it a quarter of a mile away. But it isn't a quarter of a mile away its in the kitchen. Its brought indoors at night because it ancient (about 6 years) and has a bad foot.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    Hysterical people on the internet. Like, people losing their minds over something absurdly trivial. Example below:

    A lot of Chinese people don't like parts of the new DLC (premium extra content) for Hearts of Iron IV (a World War 2 strategy game) so they've threatened the developers and spammed nonsense like the above.

    My mother goes to visit her friend who has dementia every week.

    Just heard that with her car parked outside this friends gaff earlier , someone pulled the door handle assembly on the drivers door completely off. That’s something that takes a bit of effort so they were attempting to nick the car which is my guess

    Folks keep the car in pristine condition inside and out and plan to see about a trade in for the brand new model in a few weeks…also the woman who she visits her husband’s car was nicked from the exact same spot 3 or 4 years ago which is a weird coincidence. Not the most well to do neighbourhood…
