I can't seem to get any work done fur "joost haein a peerie check tae see whit folk are sayin" I wonder about the amount of lost productivity.......?

PoolHaddock Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Du took the words right oot of my mooth. They are amazingly addictive. I'm meant tae be doing tonnes of stuff, but every half an hour I get this urge tae see what new things folk have said. I reckon at least an hour and a half of my day, everyday, is lost tae the forum. But it's not wasted time by any means. It's incredibly informative and there is a good sense of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest perrie-lipper Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Well perriebryan, I totally agree, I was lucky to get word of mouth about this fantastic new site, and canna help setting aside deadline reports to have a look.....and as stated well informative, news at your fingertips, no need to wait a week for that wonderful local paper to arrive in the post, much more fun.

Distortio Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 it's got to be one of the more acceptable addictions though, it would be a truly desperate forum junkie who would attempt to mug a pensioner for their daily shetlink fix.

Njugle Posted March 20, 2006 Report Share Posted March 20, 2006 Is carrying a satellite uplink in the car and a generator to run the old mac normal? Have i got in to deep? Is the Priory set up for this kind of thing? I heard they 'do' Ebay, but this is way worse..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 yes bryan and co, this forum does have moreish tendancies. its the human condition to want to communicate with ones fellow brother. Or we're all just nosy, gossipy, back stabbing Basrads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peeriebryan Posted March 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 When I first log on in the morning, I get a feeling of excitement, closely followed by dread when I see all the smashing orangy bits (new post indicators for you guests. You should sign up!) Then when I've spen 2 hrs trawling through the posts, I get a feeling of satisfaction, closely followed by dissappointment because I've go nothing more to read I then spend the rest of the day checking back every ten minutes hoping that someone has posted something Am I alone...........

Muppet Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 Am I alone........... 'fraid not! Maybe we need to have meetings on Friday nights! You know the ones where you stand up and say "my names Muppet, I'm an addict!!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njugle Posted March 22, 2006 Report Share Posted March 22, 2006 What could we do to wean ourselves off it? I just don't think TV and CB radio combined is going to cut it somehow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
