Does anyone remember the good old days before Facebook when you had to take a photo of your dinner, get your film developed and printed, then go around all of your friend's houses to show them the picture of your dinner?


Neither do I.

 

I couldn't agree more..... I was persuaded to try Instagram the other week and when I looked at it people were posting pictures of a cup of coffee FFS! Sad *****!

 

I don't get the dinner thing either.
everytime I see one I think ****, and its mostly ***** that post dinner pics.

 

Endless pictures of people's kids **** me off, and/or running commentary of what they are doing.

The odd photo/comment is fair enough, but some people just don't know when to stop.

 

I also don't remember hundreds of people running up to & queuing outside every phone box on the way home to say where they where & how long it would take them to get home.

 

^^^^that is the bane of Instagram.

I post photos of what I've been eating to send to specific friends...normally to irritate them

 

And while I'm a it....

It's largely just a platform for attention seekers. The amount of half rants I see, then dare to ask if they are ok or what's wrong and all you get is 'nothing' or 'I can't say' etc. Well if you have something to say, say it or STFU and don't post at all!

Then all the photos of people posing on their own for their phone. It's just odd.

 

lol im not even sure I have any pics of my kids, plenty of me drunk though

 

Exactly. Or that they are going in the bath, or that they can't be bothered, or they are bored, so on.



I suppose it's ok if you're just doing it to annoy certain people

 

I'll have to go and look.

I've only got one of me, and it's from a distance and I didn't take it myself. I don't like my photo taken though.

 

I believe that would mostly be the under 30's (not old and bitter 40 year old)

 

I also remember phone box,does anyone still use them these days..

 

there is only one accepted use of phone boxes in 2013;

1. lady of the night advertising

 

2. wonder woman/superman to get changed

 

Don't know what my excuse is, I'm only 30 and it boils my ****

 

I transit through Changi airport in Singapore quite a lot and whenever a flight lands there is a literal stampede for the free net terminals they ave all over the airport and 99% of people are straight onto Facebook ... it's like the 7 hours they just had to endure without it almost kills them. Pathetic!

Instagram and pics of people's tedious little brats is a good observation of a reason to stay away from it. Cats of Instagram is great though

 

I think they should be made to change in the street...preferably after giving me adequate notice so I can get there in time

 

Why the interest in other people's dinners anyway?

Les

 

sorry Lisa, under 30s...you are officially too old now

 

There isn't Les, it's the fact people think other people will be interested in their dinner that is the sad thing!

 

I beg to differ Chris; all 171 of my massive world wide Instfollowing love to see photos of my food and beer

 

Bugger!

I wonder if I could go on Grumpy Old Women....

 

The like button needs a companion 'get a life' button then

 

Funny you should say that but a certain MickyWRX...

 

you may have a point...

 

you old ones just dont get it

people love my breakfast photos




then my dinner

im going to post a pic of my dinner and tag lisa in it!!!

 

I can see why they would; instant amusement...is that a Notts forest mug I see (I know nothing about football btw)
