michael_bolton Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Good question. I don't see how it's relevant here, though, as there is a reason to be behind the news in this instance, namely that there isn't a service quicker than BBC. You're deliberately putting yourself further behind by trying to use something with no fixed purpose at all on the basis that you think it should be used in a fashion which is convenient for you. You seem like the kind of person who'd get pissed off when watching supposedly 'live' TV because technically the images and sounds can only reach your eyes and ears at the speed of light and sound respectively, and that's without taking into account the time wasted in transmission. Some people are weird. Again, a completely irrelevant comparison. Not everybody can reason well. Don't beat yourself up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rossthejambo Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Some people spend too much time on here judging by their post numbers. A bit more time spent in the real world with real people might lead to a less selfish, less confrontational approach to life.

BoJack Horseman Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Again, an inaccurate representation of my position. My position is quite straightforward and quite reasonable. Seems pretty accurate to me. The JKB *Official Heart of Midlothian v Team X* threads. People seem to forget that some of us live in rubbish countries with grim internet and no Scottish football on the telly. Therefore we cannot see the game. We rely on the matchday thread to keep up to date with the game. Therefore, when posting on the thread people should attempt to provide some level of information. Nothing makes me quite as angry on a matchday as a succession of posts on the matchday thread such as "AW NAW!!!!!!!!!!!", "******* ****!!!!!!", "Nightmare!!!!!!" and a few head in hands posts. I read these and I know something has happened, but have absolutely no idea what. Have we lost a goal? Have we had a man sent off? Have we missed a sitter? Has someone gone down injured? If you're going to post in the matchday thread, provide some information. If you have no information to offer, it's not the thread for you. What's the point in posting "Aw naw"? None whatsoever. "Aw naw, we've lost a goal." would be much more useful. According to yourself, nothing makes you quite as angry as this. Quite a petty thing to get angry over, no?

Hansel Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Another seethe... When folk talk too much without picking up on social cues that others aren't interested, then talk over me when I'm trying to say something. I end up zoning out altogether. Usually the same folk who complain of being lonely. Maybe folk would spend more time with you if you didn't dominate the chat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Sheldon Cooper Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Is it just me or when someone posts "aw ****" on the match thread it's pretty obvious we've conceded a goal? You can also usually tell we've conceded when someone posts in a fit of rage and says "FFS 4-5-1!!!!" or something similar. Surely folk can't expect someone to sit on here and post "Mullen just made a good run down the right but his cross couldn't beat the first man" or "Tapping has given possession away cheaply" every couple of minutes? Folk at the game won't sit on here and post updates and folk can only get so much from the radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I P Knightley Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 And MB's quality work on this thread just keeps giving. Have to say I agree. One post with a seethe in a seethe thread has generated more seethe itself than the original seethe that was mentioned. Today's big seethe is that story about NICE pushing for free IVF for folks well into their forties with the bill being picked up by the mug punter taxpayer. It's wreckless and selfish of the maternity lobby to be pushing ahead with this. It pays no heed to the austerity measures we're all facing after nearly 5 years of recession and, if implemented, will have serious repercussions on the provision of essential care. IVF was made possible by medical science and, within 30 years or so, it has become a "right". They should be looking at changing the rules on adoption to increase the access to these older women who are so desperate to have children. Grrrrr!

Initially it does appear that he got a few bites but I refuse to believe that arguments on forums, especially about such petty issues, really bring up the level of tension and irritation that is created in the reader's mind. It is merely a virtual duel to see who can bait the other most effectively, usually ending with two similar characters in front of their monitors equally satisfied with the 'seethe' they believe to have induced from within their rival. Which leads me on to my point whilst I'm here. Internet, predominantly Facebook, arguments that are taken seriously, normally by those occupying the lower end of the social scale.

amadjambo Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Our roads are immensely more crowded than those in the US and, judging by comments over the previous 7 pages of this thread, populated largely by morons. Giving them freedom of choice at a lighted junction is a recipe for disaster. Our roads are certainly not more crowded than the US. Driving in LA at rush hour makes London look like a drive in the country. But I agree about the morons on the road here. I've done a lot of driving in the US and have not once found myself shaking my head in disbelief at bad driving. The locals might have looked at my driving differently though. My 1st visit I drove straight out of the airport car rental lot and turned onto the wrong side of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
