Little things that irritate you

Anything goes in The Snug, General Discussion's rebellious little brother. An off-topic den of iniquity where any subject not covered elsewhere may be discussed. Well, anything except golf, Star Wars and Arsenal.

Since texts & a 1 minute call became £2 each yesterday on Virgin Mobile, I've got to think about getting a new phone.
Had my Nokia 6303i for 9 years & been very happy with it. No such phone now exists. I suppose I could get it unlocked & use a new provider.
New phones seem to be either hugely expensive or cheap & nasty smartphones or cheap & nasty, very limited choice, old style phones.

i think the bubble must surely burst soon with mobile phones , i havent changed mine in 4 years now ( iphone6s) i cant see the point unless youre
desperate to take 5000 pointless photos of yourself every week

Yeah in truth I haven't "upgraded" for a few years now, 4 or 5 or whenever the iphone 6 came out.

After 16 years of having mobiles, I still had a black & white screen & no camera. Even the one I've got now hasn't got a front facing camera.
All those lip-pouting, gurning selfies I've missed out on taking.. :thdn:

To be honest mate, not having a front facing camera is probably the least of your worries..

I'm a member of a Facebook Group relating to my brand of guitar. One middle-aged bloke in Texas posted a photo of his impressive collection of 20+ electric guitars so I clicked on his profile out of curiousity to see if he was in a band, more photos, etc, only to notice that of his 100 or so Facebook friends, the vast majority seemed to be attractive, young, I would say 'barely legal' Vietnamese girls

Very dodgy, but reminded me of the Beer thread on here from a few years ago

Even worse, it's a pair of "tick for publicity" knobheads.

Never, ever, ever would I tick that box.

If I were to ever win such a sum, my social media accounts would be de-activated, I'd only tell a few people (and gift some to a few people that have helped me through dark times) then bugger off, get settled in our new house, get a new fleet of cars, THEN re-activate my social media accounts and stick a massive middle finger up to all the c****.

Me neither.

Why would you want all that extra aggro? You could look after your nearest and dearest, see a few good causes alright and still stay under the radar.

It's because they're knobheads.
