Re: Anyone else bored with Instagram yet?

I'm thinking about buying one of those portable telephones that you carry around with you. Anyone had any experience with them?

I'm trying to update my look a little, after seeing Michael Douglas in his recent movie Wall Street.

My late drum teacher used to play talking drum very well - sounded incredible.

Re: Anyone else bored with Instagram yet?

I love Instagram. On face value it's a lot of photos of people's dinner and their faces but on a bit of digging their are some great posters.

Plus the Captain's 'gram is an absolute hoot.

I like it because I get to check out cool styles without all of the pointless noise and drivel. With that being said it does lack all of the good discussion that happens on forums.

Re: Anyone else bored with Instagram yet?

Woof and I used to kick lumps out of each other in the good old bad old days.  No longer.  I'm in agreement with about ninety nine point nine per cent of what he says up top.  I was dismayed to be told back in 2010 or thereabouts that all the action was on FB.  As for IG, I'm afraid I associate that with daffy people like my daughters, who would photograph an ossified dog turd if they thought it might raise a tired smile; or some knob I once saw photographing his pie, chips and gravy.  Oh, it'll go on, but I'll not be part of it.  Thumps up, Woof.

Re: Anyone else bored with Instagram yet?

I read a great article in Wired about how Facebook has FBed Instagram to the point where the young won't go on it. Also the original Instagram group has aged but is still in the way of the younger people.  Plus the article said it has been commercialised to an insane degree. So now FB is for middle aged to old, Instagram is for generation below that and FB needs something else. Whastapp that they own is too business and family oriented (and closed).  Tik Tok took Instagram's crown amongst young/instant content and others like Snapchat are their own realm too. 

Fascinating to see the evolution here....

Lovely crazy stuff in 'The Sun' about monster kiddie-fiddler targeting 13-year old girls using Snapchat.  In my young day those young Sorts would have given him a bunch of fives.

Re: Anyone else bored with Instagram yet?

There is a balance to be struck between words and pictures.  'The Syllabus' was always worth a look because of the individual behind it (who will be blushing and wiping the tears from his eyes when he reads this), a noted 'Ivy Head' of long-standing who can hold his own against anyone and perhaps thinks the corporate nature side of social media is pretty dull and offensive. 
Meanwhile, my elder daughter's 'DIY wedding' is now getting bigger coverage in the 'Daily Mail' than the Labour Conference.

The likes of Saville and Glitter got away with their crimes for plenty of years without anyone giving them a bunch of fives.

Not to mention, dear Yuca, Kerouac down Mexico way.  Much addicted to young girls it seems.

Re: Anyone else bored with Instagram yet?

You may recall my anecdote of GG being in JS when I was there and the general mood all round after he left.
That was also the day I stood on Chris Eubank's foot on Jermyn St.

Do tell.  GG spreads sweetness and light wherever he chooses to go.

Re: Anyone else bored with Instagram yet?

I was in JS trying stuff on and nattering away in a quiet midweek day when it went silent and everyone looked at each other uneasily. A guy at till in back has a load of caps to buy, till takes an age. Paul serves the guy with pointy grey beard then guy leaves calling bye to all. Nobody really replies. JS in his quiet way says sorry to the few of us in, that he comes in regularly and lives at top of Chiltern St, cannot stop him. British, polite, serve him and get him out. Didn't look much like old GG by then, back about 2014.
