brommy Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I wonder how people who have lost someone in sudden and/or tragic circumstances such as a murder or an accident are almost immediately able and willing to share their feelings publicly such as posting on social media or talking to news media. If my wife or kids suddenly died, I'd struggle to function for days. I certainly couldn't post about it on Facebook or chat to a local news crew on my doorstep as others seem to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought this earlier too! Not sure if this is what you are also referring to but I saw that the dad of the little girl who sadly died in the car that ended up in a river (story) posted on FB the same day?? I'd be an absolute wreck in that position! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was what triggered my post but people being able to post on social media or chat with a film crew in the immediate aftermath of the sudden death of a partner or child has surprised me for years.

I don't shave every day .....i'd say a couple of times a week, more if i have a date lined up. I work 2 days then 2 nights with a maximum of 2 weekdays in the office, so don't need to shave for that reason too often. My point is, these blades aren't cheap and apart from swapping them if my face is getting ripped apart i just wonder if other VTers have opinions on it ? I guess it's a matter of frequency of use.... I have had mine about 5 years (Mach 3 with same blade). Shows you how often I shave! Use a beard trimmer every week or so. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think of the sympathy 'likes' though! I jest, it has baffled me as well. A lot of people seem to live their lives through social media so I guess we shouldn't be surprised. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be an absolute wreck in that position! Absolute tragic story Quote A child has died after being pulled from a car found in a river near her family's outdoor pursuits business. Kiara Moore, two, was found in the River Teifi in Cardigan on Monday. Her father said she had been left in the car while the driver got cash from the office. When the driver returned, the car was missing and initially feared stolen. A large police search followed and the car was found in the water just under two hours later, with Kiara inside. In a Facebook post, which has since been deleted, her father Jet Moore suggested Kiara's death was an accident after the car had rolled down a slipway into the river. Her mother, Kim Rowlands, also posted on Facebook that her "beautiful baby girl" had died, adding: "Due to my own stupidity, I will have to live with the guilt for the rest of my life. "Mummy loves you baby girl and I'm so sorry." The post has also since been deleted. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-mid-wales-43468076 Edited March 20, 2018 by Xela Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 I follow Liam Gallagher on Twitter (big whoop you wanna fight about it?). Some of the tweets he receives in response to his tweets are so cringe worthy it hurts me. There seems to be this thing, whereby people send him clips of their kids singing songs he sings.. like.. why the **** would Liam Gallagher care if your kid sings his songs? What do you expect him to do? Theres also this weird freak who dresses exactly the same as him, but he's called Sivan and is clearly a middle easterner who lives in the UK. Liam tweeted about a cancelled gig due to a bad throat. This guy tweets back "get well, as you were rkid". As you were is the title of his album, and he sometimes signs off with that on his tweets. Rkid is from him and his brother. But this weirdo does it, with a photo of him and Liam. Not together, but two separate photos of Liam and this wannabe. He got a couple of funny responses. The last one, is of his old female fans, who clearly want to be his mom "please take as long as you need off to get better love, we need you in top shape to finish the tour" "Liam babes, rest yourself properly, get better fully" WHO ARE THESE WEIRDOS? he's probably not gonna wanna meet any if you, stop talking (tweeting) him like your best **** friends. This also applies to many other celebs. I just notice it more with Liam and his fans. Freaks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird but it's what social media is all about, back in the day they'd probably be stalkers and possibly end up shooting or stabbing the celeb.

You see it more on youtube, some of the more popular celebrities on there get 30,000 messages on some of their videos with a vast majority of them being little messages like the above as if it was from one of their mates saying some pointless crap that will never be read by the person in a million years. I can only assume that its done on the pretence that now and again they will get a like or in twitters case a retweet. For some people its worth replying to 100's of tweets with inane pointless chatter just for that chance at the incredibly rare retweet (which in reality means jack all) but good luck to them I guess.

I shave every other day or my skin goes raw. But I can make a razor last about 3 weeks plus. These razor clubs would end up costing me way more I reckon. The price of razor blades is a disgrace though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
