Your friend must be distraught.

That's an interesting point Gonz.

yup

g.man

Does taking pictures mean you are not enjoying the event? I like to take a few snaps of the gigs I go to and it's nice to look back years later and remember the good times.

Well, usually the pictures of people at events hardly show the event or venue where they are, they just put there face as close to the camera, and try to frame the cocktails and some friends as well (because, that's the only way you'll remember next day with whom you where, the gps of your phone will confirm location if that's also needed, cocktails are a hint at how "cool" the club is, not a dirty pub with beer, and actual club with exotic cocktails.).

I actually hate it, take nice pictures if you want, but usually there not even instagrammed, how lazy can you be. tsk.

My cousin's daughter imitates her mommy's club/pub facebook antics by posting up pictures of her and her school friends posing and holding milkshakes/can's of pop in the school cafe.

It's kind of adorable in a way though rather than deeply irritating, unlike the thousand-and-one pics of my 'cus and her fuckwit friends having cocktails and duckfacing it up around town every weekend.

Adkm, you have shaken my belief system. I always thought it ended at one link, so if someone here married my sister in law, they'd be my wife's brother in law, but to me just my sister in law's husband; not my brother in law too, as they could only be one "step" away from direct family if you see what I mean. 

And Gonz, that's a teeny bit cynical. Whenever I've had a photo taken somewhere nice having fun with friends/colleagues, it's only interrupted the actual fun having for a minute or so, then served as a reminder of the fun I had rather than making me think I was trying to create an impression of having fun.

You don't count princess.

Some really annoying FB status stuff today. Totally should have got rid of these people ages ago. Not from the same person

Two of my colleagues 'shared' that.  Two people who really ought to know better than to perpetuate that kind of scaremongering.  Idiots.

Does it also not claim to be written by the Police, but use casual and emotive language?

I've seen one much the same about an abandoned, bloodied baby seat on the side of the road.

Again, on Thames Valley headed paper but written like a 15 year old on their phone.

Snopes to the rescue again.
