When I think about it, it's a bit funny that we're paying money to engage with the site less.

@Bozza saw you coming !

Yes, we’re living in an attention-deficit, fast-moving digital world where most people don’t really communicate accept in abbreviated form or a few sentences and where most people don’t have the patience for anything more. I used to spend hours chatting to my friends and family on the phone, even wrote lovely letters when I was younger - now it’s a one sentence text or a few sentences in an email. Maybe we’ve lost the art or desire or time to actually listen to the other or maybe we are all just losing the power to communicate in traditional ways as the digital age transcends most ways in which people in society still communicate with each other?

Or … maybe we are all slowly reverting to teenagers in our middle age dotage, where communicating in monosyllabic grunts will be just about all that we can manage let alone a posting a few paragraphs on an internet chat site.

My son sends me a response saying 'k' instead of ok (okay). It drives me insane it's one more f**king letter to write & the word has already been abbreviated. And breathe!

Yeah agree. A bit like people who use ampersands

What’s wrong with it?

Attractive lady in nicely fitting man made fibres, two pints, you tell me!

Edit - I’m constantly having to edit my posts now to reduce them even by a few words if possible - so on edge am I if I write anything more than 2 sentences.

TLDR

That's going well.

You could try writing couple of sentences. Then waiting for a response, then sending a couple more sentences etc etc

Surprisingly most people communicate that way on the phone or in person too.

Just a thought.

That's going well.

Perhaps someone could advise on what the word limit is for each post on NSC - if 6 lines is too long? My life would be a lot happier on here if I knew, beleive me This constant baiting is actually making me ill now.

Mate, I was joking. Your edit was too good an opportunity to miss.

There is no word limit but the one thing I have learnt from work over the years is the shorter the better and sometimes it is ok to agree to disagree. Put it this way, my wife has just called me a "f***ing plum" I've understood her point immediately

Don't worry about it and write what you like. Other people's opinions or jokes aren't your problem.

It doesn’t matter. The ‘jokes‘ about my post lengths have have been relentless and It’s just too much at the moment.

I’m in a pretty bad place at the moment, under NHS autism and Long Covid services waiting for counselling for PTSD. I was at the hospital all day yesterday for more tests and now awaiting urgent blood tests for Temporal Arteritus because I have intermittent double vision..

Hence the overreations. I‘m just asking if people could lay off a bit that’s all.

Sorry.

Okay then, I apologise. No harm was intended.

Third pint not balanced on her head?

Good point but I’m not sure I could neck all 3 pints these days.

Have you considered an executive summary?

There’s a couple of people dominating NSC, they ruin it for me, I wonder if they do anything other than invading every thread on here, hardly drawing breath!
