Apart of course from with the bubble-head apple-heads.... and so it goes on...

I make no argument for the consumer end of Apple's stuff - beyond that fact that fooling several hundred million people - time after time - with some sort of sub-standard product - is no mean feat.


I find it pervy that someone with an iPhone 4 would immediately want an iPhone 5 for sure. But then I find it equally pervy that anyone else should genuinely give a sh1T!

I'm not posting to say 'I don't give a shit' though am I, eh? .. I'm posting to say that I find it pervy that other people give a shit so much.. why they get so purple with rage about the whole thing. Really, it's weird.


It's like getting angry because your neighbour owns a Ford Focus or something. Why?!

Erm..... didn't pick up any purple protestations on here meself. Like I said, I find the lemming-like consumerism mania interesting to observe, and occasionally to comment on :)

It is odd - agreed.

"[snip] phone doesn't work quite as we'll as some [snip]"


Lovely!


On the wider point quite agree, it is all very silly, but then people need to obsess over something before middle age and your looming mortality render all that vim and gusto null and void when faced with the utter pointlessness and meaningless of ones own existence and the cosmos' deep indifference to you.


That said I hope Steve jobs* burns in hell, or something.


*only joking, I meant Tony Blair obviously.

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
