Bit of background, I live in Northern ireland and the executive had the vote for gay marriage yesterday.

Im all for equality, but not just for gay people. Thats not what equality means. I want equality for people with cancer who cant get the drugs they need on the NHS.

Is this a post on someone's FB or your own views?

"Amazing time at the Take That concert last night. Was really near the stage!"

....followed by about 7 selfies that all look the same and not one showing the band themselves or even the stage.

The election ones, No one cares that you being brainwashed to vote for Labour or Tories

A screen shot of a text donation, No details on who or what, Just a 'Look what i did aren't i nice' picture

"He wanted to live together we gt engaged n tryed planned pregancy together". This sentence alone seems to sum up everything that is wrong with life...

Someone tagged themselves giving blood on my feed the other day. Followed by the 'Nice one!' 'You're so great!' 'What a wonderful thing to be doing!' comments.

I hate those look how charitable I am type posts.

The 'Yay, it's Friday' posts, or the similar 'Bring on the weekend', or 'Weekend starts here' etc. posts by people you KNOW are long term unemployed solely due to the fact that they've not bothered applying for a job for at least a decade. Every b****y day is the weekend for you! Why should Friday to Sunday be anything to celebrate. It's not like you've got time off work!

And the other serial poster who creates illnesses for herself to allow herself to justify staying home all day playing with her little girl. Regular updates and links to symptoms of (among many) migraine, statuses of screaming in pain (nearly daily) followed an hour or so later with photos of her playing tea parties with the little girl, playing in the garden, with the dollshouse, generally beaming with good health and happiness and then as the evening draws near (and presumably the boyfriend's return from work imminent) the posts about being so ill all day, clutching to life, wishing there was a way out of the never-ending pain re-emerge. I used to work with this person and they barely did a full week due to a stream of different illnesses. Main one I think was work-itis. Then work got heavy with her so she got pregnant and when this one's due to start nursery meaning work is an option, I'm wagering a second child will come along.

Whoops, sorry, that was someone's post on FB. Not my views at all (as it's nonsense)

A guy i know has recently become a father for the first time. Rather than post endless pictures of the baby being boring (he acknowledges the fact that not everyone wants to see hundreds of pictures a day of a baby!) he is being quite creatiive!

He staged a photo so it looked like his wife was putting a new sofa together whilst cradling the baby on the day they got home with a witty caption about her being a supermum.

He made a funny comment about learning how to change nappies but not knowing how to wrap the used ones up into a tiny ball like his wife does. He added a photo of a nappy mountain.

Today he has put a pic of the baby sleeping alone in a double bed now hes "1 week old" and fully grown.

Now to me, and most other people we recognise that all the pictures are staged. Nobody believes the baby really slept all night alone in a double bed! These are intelligent people. Of course hes getting absolutely hounded by people who cant get their head around the fact that none of this is real!

Someone told him that he could have the child taken away if the mother was doing heavy lifting! Another commented about the nappy picture being unhygenic (it was clear these were prop nappies and not used ones!) and now people are telling him how the baby could suffocate in a bed!

I swear some people need their heads testing! He has made it very clear that all these photos are set up to entertain, but most of these people would just prefer to see a constant feed of baby pictures that are identical!

^^^ I have a series of photos of my baby entitled "Danger Baby" where I've edited her into some amusing situations, e.g. sat on the shed roof (I'm sat holding her but have edited myself out), standing at the edge of a big skateboard bowl, on a skateboard, about to drop-in, her walking along the top of a fence (this one was at 6 months before she could possibly even walk, let alone along a narrow fence!).

They're clearly edited, I clearly haven't actually allowed my baby to skateboard, stand at the edge of a big drop or anything like that, but some idiots fail to understand and question my parenting skills.

I really pity the person who wrote this, abbreviating words when they dont need to then adding extra letters to words when they aren't even spelt like that (carn't???)

Guy i used to work with seriously considered cancelling a holiday to euro disney because he didn't think his daughter was excited enough

'Just told x she is going to disney land. Barely got a smile out of her. Wish the deposit was refundable'

Thought he was kidding until a few responses later he said this - 'Nah she was nothing like the advert, Barely acknowledged the fact'

His daughter is 5/6

Anyone spot any flaws with this?

"Woohoo, 1167 calories in total today and i managed to keep sat fat, sugar, salt and fats at around the daily allowance".

Did he take the packet of Biscuits back when he opened them and Kitten or Puppy didn't crawl out.

I bet Side Eying Chloe would approve though

2 friends I know have both recently purchased their first homes. What started off as a few photos and jokey one upmanship has turned into a right old bitchfest. Not just involving the houses but dragging each others boyfriend's into the slagging off session now.

"If u think im scared of you then think again cause I aint u want to cause shit again then let's cause I can lay all ur shit out there I ain't afraid anymore and u certainly ain't gonna walk all over me either iv got so much stronger then what you think at the end of the day ur just a prick with some sort of grudge and I ain't letting you or ur mates put me down I had enough of that when I was with you so what makes u think it's gonna happen again!! Grow up and grow a pair cause like I said I will lay all ur shit bare if u carry on ‪#‎rantover‬"

Why do people write these things on facebook?

They probably filmed most of the concert on their camera/phone as well. I'd have left the phone in my pocket and enjoyed the concert. But to some these days, its more important to brag about doing something, rather than just enjoying said experience.

Hence, posting pictures of meals to be eaten, piles of Xmas/birthday presents etc.

My friend who had the hysterectomy recently is now well enough to start working again.

Instead of being a cleaner, she is now working at a care home for older teenagers somewhere in Brum.

(She has recently posted old pics of herself from a few years back when she was a little larger than she is now, which involves a certain part of the upper body, which got me thinking, 'She ain't gonna get the teenage lads drooling after her as well ? )

As with all Facebook rants, for attention and she also wants all her friends to respond with comments about how brave and tough she is for saying that e.g. 'Ye u tell im hun!! xxxx'.

A friend of mine was bragging on fb about getting front row seats to a jimmy carr show, how expensive they were but how if youre not in the front row you might as well not be there.

On the day of the show his gf took a few photos from their seats which were clearly NOT on the front row

I see people tagging themselves as safe from the Nepal earthquake tonight. I'd certainly hope so seeing as they are 4500 miles away.

From my idiot step-daughter tonight (along with the obligatory pouting/tongue-poking-out selfies)


Unlike the endless replies from her friends ("Aw, chill out hun" etc etc,) my sympathetic reply was "Try the path to the Job Centre, you lazy mare"

She's unfriended me (again!)

She is now flogging health aids, Aloe Vera & all that stuff now as well.

Now getting posts on the timeline along the lines of 'I've been taking this stuff for 3 weeks now & getting better all the time!'

All loved up with the current boyfriend as well.

Do hope nothing will come crashing down for her though.
