useless Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 One of the reasons people like posts is to let others know that they do so, and to have their name associated with it. If there is a post with multiple gifs and all are funny but one, then a person is less likely to like the post, as they don't want their endorsement associated with the that one 'bad' gif in the post. Like when I make a post with lots of great points, but end it with a point that might be harder to grasp, or one that isn't a popular viewpoint, then that post is likely to receive few or even no likes. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted February 19, 2016 Moderator Share Posted February 19, 2016 Yeah true it might be "Ooh if I like that post, they won't know which one I mean, so I better not like it at all" which is the wrong way to look at it. I like multi-posts if "I enjoyed the post". Seemples! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the multi-post is only as strong as its weakest gif. But it's more than that. It's like the bombardment of imagery makes people just keep scrolling away and beyond the like button. Monsters. Anyway, I do regularly wonder that as and when I witness it that many gifs in one go means someone has to much spare time on their hand so they can only really be a teacher on yet another holiday , a Junior Doctor on strike or a Student ..and I'm not giving any of them my much desired likes ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Posts with too many gifs take too long to load in my browser, so I get bored and look at other stuff instead. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Why do some blokes need a pint of lager at 8:30am on a Sunday morning? (yes I was in a Spoonys for breakfast) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Hair of the dog If I was on a weekender then I'd have a pint with my spoons breakfast, if I wasn't on a weekender...well I wouldn't be in spoons for breakfast... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjmooney Posted February 21, 2016 Author VT Supporter Share Posted February 21, 2016 Never understood hair of the dog. If I've got a hangover, there is no way in hell I could drink alcohol. The smell alone would make me puke. The fry-up, yes. But with gallons of tea. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Pepsi Max or 7-up is my hangover cure of choice can't usually face breakfast on account of the fact I've usually stuffed my face post drink with a take away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(yes I was in a Spoonys for breakfast) A question I've also asked recently. My commute in to work passes a 'spoons and at 7:30a.m. there are drinkers congregating outside. By 7:45 they've been allowed in. Truly grim. My missus, always a well meaning deep thinking person, thinks that possibly they've worked a night shift and are having a well earned drink at the end of their working day. Personally, I think they are drunks that need a pint for breakfast. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 Cheap crisps are the only thing that really help with my hangovers, especially pickled onion flavour. Space Raiders were good back in the day but I have trouble finding them nowadays, and Frazzles are good too. A glass of wine at lunch can help but beer or anything fizzy will make me feel worse.

These days it's the most crucial part in curing my hangovers, more so than a fry up. Sorry lapal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimzk5 Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 (edited) Never done hair of the dog, one thing I've noticed since turning thirty just 2 months ago, hangovers are now a weekend long event, in my twentys I could easily drink on a Friday, have a bit of a hangover Saturday but nothing major, drink again on Saturday night followed by my weekly Sunday night few pints with my brother in law. Now a drink on a Friday leaves me feeling like I've been hit by a train all weekend how anyone can drink at spoons opening times is beyond me (I'm talking regularly, I've been on stag dos that involved drinking at 7am) Edited February 21, 2016 by Jimzk5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
