A recent report says that voice notes are huge across the world… apart from in Britain. Here’s my two cents (or pennies) on why I dislike voice notes: 1. I don’t want to have to put in earphones or find a quiet place when out and about, just for you to tell me “yes” or “no” about whether you’re free for a cup of tea next Wednesday. 2. While I’m watching telly, I want to be able to glance down at my phone and get the information I need in text form. I don’t want to have to turn the telly off and listen to your private podcast that’s just for me. 3. I don’t want to wade through three minutes of waffle and chit-chat I never asked for when a thumbs-up emoji will do. 4. It makes me feel like you expect a voice note back - and I’m not doing that. 5. I have no interest in tangents about how you’ve just seen an interesting pigeon on the pavement. I asked if you could give me a lift to the station, and 12 minutes in you’re talking about a pigeon and I’ve missed my train. 6. The convenience is all yours. It’s quick to send a voice note, but much slower for me to consume it. It’s bad manners. I think that about covers it. Of course, if voice notes are a more accessible option for the sender (due to difficulty typing, vision impairment, language barriers, etc.), that’s completely understandable - a different kettle of fish! But if you just like waffling, I’d rather not be the waffle sounding board. (Really I think I’m just jealous of people who are able to talk coherently for minutes at a time).

Happy birthday, Louis! 8 today! 🎈

@Okoliemeka_ There's no cure for being a c°nt

In one sentence prove that you've watched Game of Thrones:

@GamewithDave Nifty lifty

For those who used a computer between 1995 and 2001, what's the computer game from that time that sticks with you the most, and why?

We're officially fucked....RIP Chuck Norris

@b1d3nat0r @Rewriteonrepeat My son was born in March 2015 and because they didn't offer it if you were born before May 2015 he wasn't eligible and I unfortunately didn't have the money to pay private!

@Rewriteonrepeat For once, it isn't anti-vaxxers. It's the government who refuse to give the vaccine to people born before 2015 unless they pay over £200

@MichaelRosenYes My son was born March 2015 and wasn't offered the vaccine as he was born 6 weeks outside the cut off of being born in May 2015! I tried at the time for him to get it but they wouldn't budge.

@LongCovidHell My son was born March 2015 and wasn't eligible as it was only offered if you were born on or after 1st May that year! Utterly ridiculous

What strain is the outbreak in Kent though? If it’s meningitis B, there is no NHS option for anyone born before 2015. The NHS left the most vulnerable age group unprotected. And despite this outbreak, teenagers in Canterbury are STILL not being offered any meningitis vaccines!

The whole world loves him I wish he knew x.com/fluxfolio_/sta…

🚨Breaking🚨 Following the announcement of our Judicial Review, the government in Northern Ireland has withdrawn its participation in the puberty blockers trial. @wesstreeting - For the sake of our children, do the right thing and pull the plug on this safeguarding monstrosity.

The moment media says “woman wearing a dress” it’s obvious they’re talking about a man. Might as well just say… man.

Give him all the gold medals

Where is the UN? Where is Greta Thunberg? Where is Rashida Tlaib? Where is Ilhan Omar? Where are the college students? Where are the Hollywood celebrities? 12,000 Iranians slaughtered in two days, and the world’s loudest “human rights” voices are suddenly silent.

Wherever you think this might be going, it’s better 😂 I can’t breathe 😂

BREAKING: Iranian state TV says that anyone who protests in the streets will be shot. These are crimes against humanity and a violation of the Geneva Convention. Greta Thunberg? Silent. Mehdi Hasan? Silent. Cenk Uygur? Silent. The media? Silent. The UN? Silent.

This is Tehran. Let that sink in. You are watching a revolution unfold live while the world’s media stays dead silent. Legacy media has become nothing more than a propaganda machine, because what news could possibly be bigger than this? @FoxNews @CNN x.com/Negaarsh/statu…

Rachel came to play The Traitors on the BBC, and Fiona came to play Game of fucking Thrones #TheTraitorsUK #TheTraitors

@sophielouisecc I’ve done enough people-ing by 6pm! I want to be hitting the couch with chocolates in hand and some Christmas tv 🤣

Christmas dinner should not be before 6pm Anyone eating Christmas dinner at 3pm is just weird. Why so early?! Discuss - happy Christmas

Luther, Alice, and Schenk are BACK. Idris Elba, Dermot Crowley, and Ruth Wilson will reunite for an all new LUTHER movie. Luther has been secretly called back into service amidst a new wave of brutal, seemingly random murders. But how can he save London when everyone on all sides seems to want him dead.

When you realise it's now dark at half four in the afternoon
