How is nobody talking about this? You got all these people on their phones while out for meals even worse walking or driving. We don't know the long term effects being on our phone has to our brains.

Yes I know it's ironic posting this on my phone

haha - this is a good one my young friend.
I giggle inside when i watch couples sitting at dinners together fixated on their mobiles.
Like WTF do you even bother being together let alone out to eat.
Just get uber eats.
I purposely whilst walking bump into those who are buried in their mobiles oh sorry haha

As for your health and future - your gonnnne.

There are plenty of YouTube channels studying and analysing such things and lots of articles too.

It looks terrible when you go into a restaurant and see it. It's getting worse with kids being allowed videos with sound in public spaces.

The parents go agro of you ask politely to use headphones.

The driving one boils my blood so much. I see it when they turn into my pedestrian crossing. Plenty of times they've just rolled through phone on steering wheel or being looked at in lap.

Holding a phone whilst driving is illegal in SA. Cops have cameras everywhere trying to catch it.

Same here, you get a fine and points on your licence if caught with a phone in your hand while driving.

I was at the funfair a while ago, and I actually saw a young girl looking down at her phone while riding the carousel!

People who get redressed, packed on the airport security belt instead of taking the tray over to the repacking area...

German supermarkets with their eternal limbo of one staffed register and one crappy self service check out for around 15 people at once.

Oh Christ yes re going through customs etc
These donkeys know what right or wrong is and they know how to fill customs cards how many of these donkeys try to play the sorry I didn’t know act ?!
How hard not to items that go off through the body scanning then the idiots overload carry on ?!
Piss’s off !
Oh the Asians scamming to get through so much bloody food that is illegal one of the worst ?!!!!!

As Richie knows I'm a Brit and find our temps too much to bear as they are on the rise, the next 3 days our temps will be reaching 28, much too hot for me
How you Aussies cope with the heat is amazing. I love our freezing cold winters, snow on the ground and an icy cold mist. You have to wear layers of clothing as the cold wind cuts through them, it's fabulous!

 

[JS96]

There's been a lot lately on how Euro heat is different to best elsewhere as is Aussie winter. In saying that old Australian homes don't have the insulation. My German partner let's rip at it but I maintain it was just a way people built cheaply decades ago in order to keep costs down and allow heat to seep out in summer.

See it at many airports. The bottleneck. Heathrow terminal 5 arrivals you can walk all the way along and E gates 7-1 have no queue. Heathrow arrivals have been sublime since covid though.

Muz will set the record straight - but I expect he is talking about one of the troll posters and not any of the honest posters.
