Why do some people have to come on to a nice lighthearted thread to try and start drama?
i do that too ! especially critiquing the current owners decorating tastesThis sounds interesting, will take a ponder at that. If you like that, you might like the online game “geoguessr”
I am FAR too snobby for someone who has hardly any money when it comes to Right Move, looking down my nose at million pound houses because I don’t think the garden is big enough for my liking or it doesn’t “even” have an indoor pool![]()
Ooh I like watching the older versions of the Bill and Jerry Springer... JERRY JERRYwatching clips of old TV shows such as Eastenders, Orpah Winfrey Show, Crimewatch, Stars in their Eyes, Pop Idol, etc...
using a savings calculator to figure out what I need to save for holidays and moving out (I only have a temp job atm)
reading about random obscure actors/actresses or people that used to be famous
reading about Unsolved Mysteries cases on SitcomsOnline forum
reading people's opinions on random film and TV characters on forums
going on Reddit and Netmums to read about bad stuff that's happened to people (when I'm feeling down about my own life) - it's quite therapeutic and I feel less alone
There is an American lady named Lindsay who used to run this blog:I do this after I watch a new film or TV show I liked. IMDb used to make great reading on the background, the making of and the errors made but ever since they got rid of the message boards, which was my main reason for visiting, I hardly go on the site anymore.
This sounds like a plan!i also go on John Lewis, harvey Nicks et al and buy anything and everything i want and when my basket is around £10k i close the window down and go spend £50 somewhere else and not feel guilty about it
Ooh, what is this marine version you speak of? Is it like a FlightRadar for ships? There goes my eveningI love going on flight radar and the marine travel and nosing on the goings on around me![]()
It is very easy to find some people's addresses, or certainly the roads they live in, purely from the information they post online.Lots of house related searching, I spend hours on rightmove looking. Sometimes it's local or places I know or used to live in, other times I just hear a place-name and have a search. Also, house prices....fascinated! Also love streetview and look up all sorts of places. Went to pick stuff up from a school mum the other day and had not only done a map of directions but had streetviewed her road and knew how much she paid for it in 2013.
On a similar vein I've often researched people online, not to do anything with the info, more just to know I can. People are scarily open! Case in point, I liked a picture someone had put up on Instagram which is near where my parents live and she had lots of pictures from round about there too so I followed her. Got nosey one day as she had put a picture up of the view from her front garden and I recognised it as the same road as my parents. Didn't take me long to work out exactly where she lived, where she used to live, all her family members names and where she worked. Just as well I don't have ulterior motives![]()
I love Pintrest, but my God, you can't just look for one thing on there, you get sent everywhere and beyond!I have loads, I'm a terrible procrastinator.
Looking at RightMove for homes I can't afford.
Looking at holiday cottage companies for holiday cottages I will never be able to afford - unique homestays is lovely!
YouTube for clips of old TV shows
Google StreetView because I'm nosy
Jigsaw puzzles when I'm bored and can't be bothered to do anything else
Browsing my local library's ebooks
Etsy can be a rabbit hole, as can Pinterest
Reading bad reviews on TripAdvisor/Goodreads/Trustpilot
That's fascinating, I'd never heard of this before.Today I wasted time by listening to the only traditional castrato to ever be recorded. This was in the early 1900's when he was already in his 50's and past his prime. He sounded like a woman with a weird technique.
I do that with looking for the 1 star google reviews for cafes/ restaurants too, love a dramatic scandalous review. the most scandalous one i’ve found so far ( in my area) was a 2 paragraph’d complaint about “ not enough cheese on my cheesy chips “‘Pointless’ can be replaced with sad, embarrassing, weird, shameful, pathetic.. anything you wouldn’t happily admit to everyone really
Mine is going on Trip Advisor to look up random places I have no intention of ever visiting or similarly, going on Amazon to look up products I have no intention of ever buying, filtering the reviews to show only the 1 star/‘terrible’ reviews and then reading and laughing at them![]()
