Again I think your misunderstanding the difference between actually boycotting (which largely I think is a kind of moral Onanism but that I admit is on me) and feeling the need to tell everyone you’re boycottingOriginally Posted by Mac76
I don’t know what Memes you’re aware of, but you remind me of the picture of the lad with a vein in his temple with the tagline “gone more than five minutes without telling someone you’re a vegan”
so i say once that I don't buy the Sun (which is so long ago I don't remember it but strangely you do - not that you're obsessed or anything...) and that means I'm virtue signalling, rather than just mentioning it on a messageboard which - again - is designed for discourse
This would be a pretty boring board if no-one was able to say what they did or didn't like or support
And again, this whole 'conversation' came from an opinion on something expressed - and very strongly by you...
You saw an article link from the Sun and felt the immediate need to tell everyone you boycotted it. That speaks to me of a need to express your virtuosity.
You also remarked in another thread about how you didn’t subscribe to Sky because of Murdoch. Similar thing.
Plus the point I’m making is that it’s remarks like that, that mean that many (maybe not all) your political views are quite easy to discern, and that it felt at least likely to me that you would respond to my post the way you did.
Maybe it’s unintentional on your part, I just find people quite predictable really

Honestly. During the pandemic - working at home and all that - I'd forgotten just how bloody annoying people in an office can be.
Our meeting rooms have iPads on the wall outside which you can use to book them. It takes a few seconds. The two things people do which make me want to punch them in the face are:
1) They block out the room for the day and barely go in there.
2) They squat in rooms without booking them which makes you feel you can't book them even though they're available.
Someone was in a meeting room at 10:15 but hadn’t booked it. I needed a room for 10:30 and there weren't any others available so I assumed he’d just popped in the room quickly and I booked it for 10:30. 10:30 arrives, the bloke was still in the meeting room. I went in and the following conversation ensued:
Me: “Oh, sorry. I have this room booked now.”
Him: “…Did you book it while I was in here?”
Me: “Yes, you didn’t have it booked”
Him: “It would have been nice if you’d asked me!”
Me: “It would have been nice if you’d booked the room...”
(He leaves the room with his tail between his legs)
Needless to say, I had the last laugh.
