@Sable can't disagree with anything you said there

Unfortunately it's true and absolutely shame on the parents for allowing it as you say.

Good for you.

@Sable A failing of most politicians nowadays is that they see Twitter as the general feeling of the public.

@Kairu I left FB about 7 years ago and have never looked back. Social media has a lot to answer for I think and I have chosen not to be a part of it.

Maybe PS but then I don't see this as social media really. I just enjoy gaming 😜.

@Sable Snap on FPTP.

In an ideal world I think it would be the best method but we do need some form of PR (not full blown) but something at the very least to break the two party state. Labour and the Tories seem to stand for nothing except re-election anymore

@Sable Hahaha I know mate, I know 🤯

@Kairu 🤣🤣

"Well I'm going in the bath whilst my gawjuss bf makes my tea!"

And that's worthy of logging onto FB to tell people apparently....

@Sable @The_Moose @Kairu I still have a FB account but I can't remember the last time I looked at it. Never bothered with any of the others!

Social media has made socializing dull to be honest. It's great talking to people on this site as no one I know is into the hobbies I enjoy, which I can talk about with like minded folks in these forums. But when meeting up with friends you can't have much to talk about if you put it all online.

@MightyDemon82 Well said. Sites like these are great for meeting new people to discuss hobbies which we're all interested in.

Social media however I just find to be quite shallow. If you really want to show me your holiday pictures, give me a text and arrange to meet up then we can talk in person and socialise.

I find it depressing.

@The_Moose I miss those days when you met up for a pint and could talk about everything and have a laugh and best of all no phones that could record you doing stupid drunken antics 😂

Almost done with my move
I think I might be able to start unpacking on Thursday

@RogerRoger hell yes. It’s been a long time coming and delayed multiple times for reasons beyond my control- but tomorrow night will finally be my first at the new place.
I got my priorities right so the TV is already on the wall and I’ll be hooking up my HiFi and PS5 first thing in the morning

@Voltan congrats !

gaming will be extra fun now!

@jdv95 @Kairu Thanks! I can now confirm my “media” (that would be gaming, music and TV or rather streaming) setup looks and sounds great. I got half of my stuff unpacked and Mr. Cat is a little disoriented and stressed but he’ll be alright.
There’s still some work to be done in the room that will become my new home studio - but I can finally say I’m comfortable with all the space I need.

A work in progress

Not pictured: several boxes that will remain unpacked until at least 2024.

@Voltan Noice! Hopefully you and Mr Cat settle in nicely soon!

And it took me a few seconds to find your PS5! 😂

@Voltan That vinyl set-up is everything I wish mine was! I don’t quite have the space in the living room for the records so they’re currently in a unit a room away, which is such a minor inconvenience but it annoys me 😂
