Had to laugh! 19:12 - Feb 2 with 4286 viewsjack2jack

Went out for coffee with Mrs J2J earlier, so we are sitting there and the table next to us is free, a family of 4 sat down, they were there for at least 45 minutes, each had a phone, not one of them said a word to each other , they stared at the phones the whole time, not deviating their attention for one moment, they then got up and left.
Is this the future, can we turn things around or is it too late!!What are your views.

But Blaze it's not the same, in time folk will loose the ability to communicate face to face, I know some youngsters who can't even talk on the phone, because they don't know how to, it's sad.


You sound like the parents of kids who first started listening to rock and roll mun they were all going to grow up being devil worshippers etc.

Of course youngsters can talk on the phones, come on you're being over dramatic now.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

I love technology me.

I've just ordered and paid for a curry.

Bought a pair of trainers and a pair of jeans (which will be delivered tomorrow) and all this without having to speak to anybody 👍


You'll have to answer the door though......or I've been using Amazon hub locker at my local co-op, bloody brilliant!!! Never have to worry about not being in or hearing the door. (Doorbell doesn't work - bliss)

Good luck with that when theyre teenagers


They are 14 and 12 so we are already at that stage. We don’t rush family meal times and can sit chatting for an hour after Sunday lunch; we use the time to have quality conversations that cannot happen when there is one eye on TV / phone / iPad etc.

No i don't think there is anything wrong with it mate, embrace change. Fight change and everyday is a battle, and this is one battle you won't win.

Take no notice of what others do around you, just carry on enjoying your wife and your mates company.


Thought it might be an interesting topic, that's all.👍

Nice, into all that are you? What size are you? I'm going to be selling off more than 90 pairs of Adidas originals this year, most brand new and tagged, going back to a pair of 97 gazelles.

Not at all overdramatic, I've seen and heard a few instances, where when asked to use a landline a youngster has almost had a meltdown, true story.

More and more workplaces are now banning the use of mobiles during working hours.
I don't blame them.

That happens to people of all ages, I'm not a fan of speaking on the phone to be honest. If i can send an email or a text I will.

I knocked it all on the head about 4 or 5 years ago now.

Got pissed off with Adidas knocking the bollocks out of every model, then you had size? etc doing limited releases which would end up on ebay for triple the price the following day. I still keep up to date with the releases though and nearly pulled the trigger on the Dams myself.

So very true mate.

All the hype is getting too much now.
I remember almost willing to sell one of my kidneys to get my hands on a pair of
Colnago lol.

Also "designed" a pair of Adidas "Jacko's" one night after a few Strongbows, cost me over a ton.
Seemed like a good idea at the time, when they arrived the only thing missing was a clown outfit and a squirty flower 🙈

I know, but I'll tell you something, if I'm out with friends or with the missus, I don't sit there glued to my mobile, my focus is on the people I'm with. I know society is changing but there is something wrong about it, don't you think.👍


On the odd occasion the Swans are playing midweek and we’re out with friends despite my best efforts, I make sure the phone is charged and have it carefully balanced on my lap under the table monitoring Livescore. I do my best to do the conversation thing but it’s not easy.

I went out for a meal with my family.

I told them all to put away their phones and not to be so rude and we were out on a family get together and I didn't want to see a phone.

And then mine went off.
