The Pub - Discuss Anything

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I like to go to places where I can you know...converse with people.

That is turning into an absurdity recently. People don't seem talk face to face anymore. Whenever I go with my friends they just spend 90% of the time on their phones. It's like I have to use whatsapp to talk to them when they're sitting right in front of me..

Jeez does nobody like going out here?

If I had the skill to be as awesome as you, I probably would But knowing I would only be silent wherever I went and embarrass myself, I'd rather not.

I have a friend who's writing a book on how social media changes social behaviour. It's really crazy. How important are you really that you need to be checking your messages every 20 seconds? Are you a doctor on call or are you hoping that someone "liked" your facebook status update. We all have gotten too attached to our phones, We are all scared that we're going to miss something. Hence, those ridiculous ads that try to compete to show which service is the fastest, as if getting that text .03264 seconds earlier matters.

I was at a friend's cottage (Canadian term for a small house in the wilderness) and we had no access to any network for days. It was so freeing.

Well, i still have 3 very very close friends who when i go out with, we never touch our phones. It's proper chit chat, girls and sophisticated amount of booze. But then again we 3 friends don't usually meet regularly ever since high school got over and everyone went to different colleges. With most of everybody else, it's one of the most boring times but hey they will talk to you at lengths when on whats app or online or on mail but when we meet personally, it's like we are all sitting in a mourning.

I had some relatives coming home a week back. They had a 13 yr old girl(my cousin sister hence), i thought well i should initiate some chit chat. But that girl's head was buried in her iphone. I even gave it a full day to see if she opens up and i tried talking again. Her head never came up to make an eye contact. I so wanted to take that iphone from her and break it into two and then ask her parents to teach her some manners on how to talk to people, rather than giving her expensive gifts. But then again, it won't matter. It's the new style supposedly.

Phones - you buy them, they own you.

The trick is not to get hooked on social networking. I've managed that, I only have a blank facebook page which i visit once every few days. But then again I have no friends to socially network with :'(

A ex-schoolmate keeps taunting me; I swear to Osgood I will beat the fucking hell out of him if he continues. He is a good guy and all but I'm not in the frame of mind for bullshit. I've had my trouble with anger and violence in the past and its not helping that I've been drinking a lot lately.

I'm a petty man and not above petty revenge.

What's he saying/doing?

I want to do the same

[manpe 10,861]

@, do you have an alcohol problem? Do you want to talk about it?

[manpe 10,861]

@We Hate Scouse, we haven't had much romance recently. I guess we needed time apart after being together for a while. What have you been up to babe? What can we do to get cap back? Perhaps start a protest movement? Yeah he's a cunt in his own right, but I need my urinary tract checked He at least deserves a chance to apologize.

I know, we should make some kind of campaign signatures and spam the forum so everybody could see. "Bring Back Cap" has a ring to it.

I like it, although we should leave it a few days until his back from holiday.

Fortunately that coincides with the festive month of December, we can use that to our advantage.

We can have something like "All I want for Christmas is Cap" or "When you're opening your presents this Christmas remember to spare a thought for those not as lucky as you. Not everyone is able to post on Talk Chelsea this Christmas. JUSTICE FOR CAP"

In all seriousness though I think he has paid his dues and would love to see him reinstated as a member.

^^^^

:D

[Muzchap 8,966]

A Cap a day helps you work, rest and play?

Edit: Also hasn't our dip in form coincided with Caps absence?

We'd be doing the team a huge favour by reinstating him
