BFTD Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 The wean's primary school have been using iPads for a while now, and they seem to start them off with them in Primary 1. I've seem a few of the younger ones bobbing about the halls playing Minecraft or whatever on their own one that they've brought in from home. Folk who send their kids to school with a bit of kit like that are out of their minds, IMO, and would probably rage at the school if it got broken or nicked, like it's their responsibility. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Richelieu Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Without wanting to descend into an iPad vs other tablets debate, surely you can buy perfectly good Android tablets for less than half the price? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone thought like that, Apple would've been humped years ago. IIRC, they donated at least some of them to the wean's school. Probably a smart bit of indoctrination. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just dropping off to sleep last night about 12:10 when my phone went with a facebook notification. Upon checking it, the notification said "John Smith just posted for the first time in a while". Dafuq? When did it start notifying you of this pish? The obergruppenführer was probably letting you know about the new season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Don't mind the sentiment, but you can guarantee those sharing would be exactly the same sort of arses that would moan like f**k if the shops weren't open on Boxing Day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd just rather something like "please be kind to people working during the holidays" which would be far more reasonable and dignified. Retail workers seem to think they're some elite group of brave wee souls who see unthinkable things on a daily basis, such as people returning clothes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zetterlund Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 I didn't realise retail workers worked for free. If only they earned money like the rest of us so that they, too, could buy the things they sell to everyone else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deej Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Without wanting to descend into an iPad vs other tablets debate, surely you can buy perfectly good Android tablets for less than half the price? Yeah. But she's wanting other folk to buy her kids iPads, not cheaper tablets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know , it's not like they get things such as discounts on the things we buy from them at the shops full price for their efforts of serving us . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Minertaur Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 The retail staff thing comes around every year and it's the same shite. I used to work in retail and had to get a lift from my dad from Dunfermline to catch a megabus at 10am from Dundee on Boxing Day to make my shift at Argos. Not ideal but it was a busy shift and I got paid for extra work. The big thing I've noticed this year is people complaining about places being open on Christmas Day/Boxing Day. Example - McDonalds posted up that some of their places will be open on Christmas Day and Boxing Day. Some wonderful comments... ""Should be made to close every bank holiday. All companies should respect their workers" "Why in god's earth or you open on new years day give your staff a brake best get double pay for that" "Still let the people who do celibate it as the holiday it is" "Slave hours" Everybody not happy and ignoring the fact that is it motorway and airport restaurants that are opening and nothing else. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also you can probably guess that most who work have agreed on the basis of decent overtime pay and also many may come from a cultural or religious background which does not celebrate Christmas anyway so are more than happy to work . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
