Now you've said that I'm in a bad mood. 2) I am down, there are good reasons for this. An instruction to cheer up will not solve the underlying problems that are making me sad.

TRO Saracen Oct 2015 12:12pm, 21 Oct 2015 11,606 posts	Quote Pin TRO Saracen rant alert People who document their every move while on holiday on facebook/twitter etc..not just the herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically across the plain (which is at least vaguely comprehensible even if still irritating and self indulgent), but photos of meals, photos of a cup of coffee, photos of fucking everything. Got one through that was a video of part of a drive between two locations if you fucking please. I think the real purpose was to make sure we all know it was a 2 centre holiday. Think this finally tipped me into this rant.... Odd how the compilation ends and doesn't extend to the pile of bills on the doormat when you get home and the fucking great credit card bill you can;t pay off that arrives 3 weeks later though.... ends rant
