Frustrated northerner and human being

Is it just me, but how annoying is it that in this day and age, when most of us watch reels and videos on our mobiles, that too much text, or text overlay renders said text essentially redundant! You can’t read it, you’ll click on the wrong thing etc. strip it back.

If #Brewstersmillions was made now, he’s simply just have to eat at #Costa each day and keep the receipts.

Is it me? The TV advert for #magnummini shows the lady grabbing them from her desk drawer… it didn’t look like a freezer drawer!

Just seen an advert for a @LEGO_Group car. Looks fabulous but can’t get over how unhappy it looks…

I do wonder what a psychiatrist would say to Lewis Capaldi, but I bet it wouldn’t be “Go stand in front of 100,000+ people and bare your soul to them and that’ll see you right”. #glasto #glastonbury2023 #glastonbury

Still aggravated by the cookies opt in/out settings on websites… they’re supposed to record your preferences, yet still ask you again the very next time you log onto that site. Not very good cookies are they?

All this Lineker in or out business. I think he was right with what he said. I think it’s right that he says something. I wish more would do the same. #doesanythingeverchange #torieswineverytime #hypocritical

Just watching some snooker and it seems that the 1st player breaks off, and then both players proceed to try and put the pack back together again, and then call for a re-rack? Have I got this right?!! #snooker #tactics @WPBSAofficial

I’m seeing more and more links to articles on SM which, once clicked on, are obliterated by adverts, pop us, GDPR statements, click bait etc… anyone else like me no longer clicking on them? #selfdefeating #clickbait #popups #gdpr #advertising #annoying

You see a post for an item on social media, with a link in the description to buy it… the sheer amount of comments asking “how much?”!! People have lost the “art” of investigation, and when I say investigation, I mean following logical steps and instructions!!

@19Conservatives is gone. #Tories voted her in as the best person for the job. #whatdotheyknow #admityouwereerong #admityouknownothing #admityoureabadjudgeofcharacter Their next PM, has got to be in essence, their 4th or 5th “best” candidate!

Next time is see a homeless person on the street, I’ll put £20 through a rich person’s door - trickle down effect will happen and they’ll benefit. Mark my words!

Life’s complicated I know - but when you worked with someone and booked them jobs running through to the end of the year, but differences meant that you split ways in April… would you expect to get paid for the jobs through to the end of the year ?

[NorthernVent @northern_vent]

… but I’m sure another elderly person who was dearly loved by her family and a whole lot of other friends and well wishers, but equally, I didn’t “know” her either. Am I sad the Queen has died? Of course, do I wish everything to stop? No. Can we not make our own mind up?

[NorthernVent @northern_vent]

… but when the whole country is “forced” to go into mourning.. unless you’re in a job that doesn’t need to halt, like essential work etc. it’s just the other things, which keep most of us sane - sport, entertainments etc. look, I understand the Queen has just sadly passed away..

[NorthernVent @northern_vent]

I just don’t get it. The country is in meltdown over energy prices and the way the Government has handled a lot of things, least of all their own successive leader etc …

[NorthernVent @northern_vent]

Does anyone else find that #facebook has more suggested or sponsored posts than genuine post from people you actually follow? #conspiracy #calculated #bigbosses #newdirection #socialmedia #annoying

[NorthernVent @northern_vent]

Does integrity have a value anymore? Who cares if something or someone is popular - pouring ice water over someone’s head was popular - helping someone for no personal gain shows integrity. I know which I prefer.

Big changes coming my way real soon. More to follow. A group of guys all showed that we do have feelings… and those feelings include whisky! Good on ya Steve. You’re a gem. #walkingfootball #men #maleemotions #change #newstarts

Just watched @freddieflintoff ‘s series on @BBCiPlayer - a cracking watch. Also a good indicator of the need for #socialcare in the U.K. #inclusion #teamwork #cricket #education #sport
