I would like to point out that, on the original post of this thread, I did specify that we shouldn't be using this thread to complain about other members of the forum, and if someone did have an issue with another member of the community, they should directly PM that user.
I had debated whether or not to include the entire enthusiast community or not, but most enthusiasts in the North East are members of this forum (although some are less frequent visitors than others, and some remain as guests) and I'd argue that you mightn't be able to communicate with another person privately over Facebook due to their privacy settings.
My thoughts on this remain neutral, as always, and I favour no party in particular. This thread is not used to attack other enthusiasts (and I've looked through quite a few of the pages from the former thread as well as this one to back this statement up), it is used to describe what has annoyed the poster on that day.
Let's end this here please. I'll give users sufficient time to read the posts above in case they haven't been online yet and I'll try and set them as invisible at some point today. Any further comments related to this below my post will simply be removed without question.
Anyway...
My annoyance this morning is having to go to Church with school, all suited and booted as I'm now in Sixth Form!

(05 Sep 2014, 4:20 pm)AdamY You should really be able to opt-out of any sort of religious engagement when attending sixth-form.
I would be furious if I was forced to attend.

(05 Sep 2014, 4:27 pm)Dan As it's thought to be a school with a Christian ethos, one must attend regardless of their faith, and in the Upper Sixth, you get additional responsibilities in church too (collections, handing out leaflets, etc).
I know most of us don't believe in God, but we have to sit through it regardless. I hope I don't cause offence to any of our religious members on the forum, but I've often stressed to my teachers in the past that I'd rather not waste my time by going to church when I'm not religious, and would prefer to be in a lesson (which was critical revision time towards the end of last year)...but to no avail!

Has anyone seen that video of the bloke suggesting how dangerous the Facebook Messenger app is?
It's been on my news feed for about a week now, and it came up in discussion in the Common Room today too. I couldn't stress enough that it's down to the generic messages laid out by Android, and that the app requires those permissions so that you can access features within the app.
The lads all seemed to agree with me, but I can't say the same about the girls. Really annoyed me that they truly thought that the app would take photos of them whilst they were unaware and all this malarkey...
It seems Facebook pushed a notification through to me earlier and have thankfully made an announcement.

Thanks to the woman hiding in the bus shelter on North Road in Darlington who magically appeared out of nowhere than put her hand out for the 5 when it was practically past the stop and the driver slammed on the brakes to stop for her and my knees ended up pressed against the seat and now once again my bad knees are in pain so thank you, I now thoroughly look forward to being barely able to walk for another 4 days

I can't believe he thought it was the break light, what a joke.

(07 Sep 2014, 4:11 pm)Robert Oh i loved reading that. I love a good argument now and again but that was just wow (the only word that i can use to describe it). I still cant get how he has more followers than me considering (and i dont want to come across as bragging here) my photos are a lot better in quality than his.

(07 Sep 2014, 4:15 pm)Dan What's your following : followed by ratio?
Davie 'follows' 2000 other Flickr members, but is only 'followed by' 700 (meaning that for every one person he follows, 0.35 Flickr members actually follow him back).
I 'follow' 126 other Flickr members, and I'm 'followed by' 259 (meaning that for every one person I follow, two follow me in return).

(07 Sep 2014, 4:31 pm)Robert 37:20 meaning for every 1 person i follow i get 1.85 people following me back. I hope i have done that calculation right basing it off your example. Im not that good at maths.
