Thanks - you’re very kind, I’m enjoying the game very much - though I’ve remembered how much easier it is seeing potential moves and how the game may unfold when just watching a match - as opposed to playing in one 😃

You play very well; logical and always pressing & probing - whilst also maintaining a solid base for defence. It’s intriguing to both watch and play against.

^ aye mate - it’s like they have a withdrawal-type process if they go without for any length of time without checking in 😃

Absolutely on the sport/concert thing - take a couple before, at the start and/or interval etc - it’s the people who spend more time looking at the phone than what is going on that really make me laugh.

My old man rant endeth 😉

Just because you’re filming a few moments doesn’t mean you’re filming the whole time.

Indeed, sometimes whilst resting the outstretched camera-holding arm they’ll watch the video back on their social media upload - with the event still ongoing, or check in online to compare with other videos of it.

Some people even have to stop filming and manually adjust the selfie-stick between shots 😉

 

to keep on topic, here’s a pic… 😃

Here’s an argument then.
They’re illegal immigrants.
Cherry picking a few in terrible circumstances to try and paint this picture of Trump being an evil dictator is disingenuous.
Or is the law suddenly not something we have to take into consideration because feelings? Wonderful, we can start running the nation solely on feelings, who needs laws anyway right?

No, they’re people. Some are (and more soon will be) in terrible circumstances and they need help. Highlighting it is not cherrypicking (that is one terrible argument you have made there.)

Has Trump said anything on record during his time in Office as to the affect of his decisions on the people at the pointed end of them? Shown any compassion or consideration? Offered help or other solutions? Taken advice from groups (authorities, community groups, health groups, charities, regional govt - or actually those his actions will punish) on the ground as it were - as a bid to come with alternatives?

I’m getting rid of my one and only smartphone as soon as it stops working. I’ve had it since 2013, when it goes I’m getting a flip phone. Can’t stand going to social events to find everyone on their phone, taking videos or pictures or whatever, instead of just having a normal conversation.

At the Oscars, there were shots of people holding up their phones for video, which I found ridiculous. It’s a TELEVISED EVENT, don’t worry, it’s being recorded professionally. Nothing you do will look any better. What’s the point?

Ugh, I hate these things.

May I suggest something akin to this for consideration?:-

Re the Oscars, a bit like other events such as sports - when asked by a friend or family member ‘what was it like at…?’ then can replay ‘I don’t know, no-one does - we were all too busy filming it on our mobiles (in amongst national tv coverage…) would you like to see my handheld poorly lit, low angle, wobbly, terrible audio, with backs of people’s heads and hands with their mobiles in front of me, recording of it?’

That is sad, but true. I do have a smartphone, but I do not use it constantly throughout the day. It’s great to have, but use it wisely. However, a lot of people will waste their time on it, while “working”.

Not just at work mate - in the pub or restaurant, out shopping, at the game, people just chilling out, or in the park etc - seems many people are constantly on them checking in for social media updates etc, instead of disconnecting, looking up and around, and living a life.

Whatever floats their boats, I suppose…
