        May I ask why?

          Idk if you remember me saying I was going to take a break a while back. But I am taking a break. Too many notifications, porn bots and stuff. Like I mentioned ear buds to a friend and all the sudden I have ads popping up for earbuds, and then constant notifications like, "Suzy Fuckface, who you might know is on IG". And you can't turn them completely off. And if I were to block all notifications then when people send me messages I won't know. So I just disabled it.

          I'll probably come back eventually. But I never did get any time off because we're playing catch-up from COVID-19 and like all the jobs that cancelled last year are back on all at once. So I am averaging about 85 hours a week and maybe one day off every two weeks or so.. you might remember I had an account with like 500 followers a couple years back and I had like 500 followers after a couple months this time.

          But I will continue to be here at my favorite place ever same as usual as much as possible.  🙂

            Congrats on that.  We all need to de-stress and blocking the quiet but constant beckoning of social media is a great way to do it.

                Had to scroll up for a second, was worried by fellow bibbed brother was bowing out.  Kudos for bailing on Instagram, I personally ignore 99% of social media, but you guys on here are golden!

                  @Filthy Thanks dude. I asked because I’ll
                  miss you on there, but having read your reasoning I fully support your decision and salute the swift execution of your will.

                  However I’m always fascinated by individual relationships to SoMe. I jibbed FB a few years back and it was glorious. I enjoy IG and feel like I am in control of my usage (I rarely comment or chat and mostly post outfit pics and just hit the like button). Apart from that it is this place and that is all she wrote.

                    I'm sorry about that. I know I will eventually be back and maybe I can lockdown some of the settings. But right now I'm doing my best to keep my head above water.

                      Love it Ollie…..Thanks for making my flight....

                        Giles! What a lovely surprise! Loved filming this. Shame they lost the plot a little during the series - pressure from the network to make it more female oriented and hence lots of rewrites and general panic! Loved firing AK47s in the kabyana cellars in Budapest!

                        Stop thinking and start fucking doing..

                          I just told my wife that if anything ever happens to me she’s to let all of you know and ask for help consigning my IH collection.  She rolled her eyes then I told her there’s roughly $10k worth of just the IH shit in my closet and she turned white.  I didn’t have the heart to tell her I rounded down and that my current inventory is a scaled down version of what I had before we moved.

                            Nice one Mike. I don't have any social media accounts at all. This forum is as close as I get, and I avoid that now quite a bit too.

                            Online can be quite a toxic environment. It is much healthier for me to have personal contact in a meaningful way with the handful of people that mean something to me.

                            That said, I appreciate that social media can be invaluable for many, if moderated and they understand how big tech utilise it.

                            I walked through Chelmsford City centre a couple of weeks ago (VERY small UK city) and consciously counted the number of people walking and looking at their phones. My 6 Yr old son and I had lunch at a deli, we played a card game called top trumps. It's good for helping maths and general knowledge. The amount of people out with friends and family having lunch but looking at their phones, watching videos with the sound up obnoxiously loud, it made me despair.

                            Still, who and I to spoil their 'fun'? Thank goodness my son only uses tech at school, and tha his last school report has him excelling. Clearly not losing out to tech.

                              Yep @Filthy I grapple with this all the time. I've gotten to where I use Insta very little, and I really just keep it around for learning about new denim-y things and occasionally putting out some music.

                              For me, the bigger problem is just the phone in general, the constant urge to check / look. Email, shopping, ads ads ads. I'm trying to get up in the morning and not even look at it for a couple hours, making progress but it's slow. Fuck it's hard!

                              Anyway, I applaud any such efforts. My attention span has turned to shit and I'm determined to get it back.

                                I loved Top Trumps, you can get them now in all different types but when I was at school it was mainly planes, cars and ships.

                                We love a game of UNO.

                                  The dinosaur pack was my favourite. WW2 planes next and the tank deck was badass. Interesting how much I know about weapon/war. The military fetishes 70´s and 80´s kids grew up with, don't seem to have affected the generation negatively at all.

                                  Equally, a wonderful thing with the modern world is that my smalls enjoy a game of uno and lego building, and a half hour on the iPad in turns. At the same time while my teens have their SoMe/phone habit, they still readily gather around the table for social/political discussion, go bathing or hiking. Amazing that a human can do both…
