Oh hai.
People that go "travelling" to somewhere like the usual destinations (Thailand, Vietnam, Gambia, Auz other such unchartered terrotories) and spend every waking second on Facebook updating their status and adding photos etc. Look at me, look at me im travelling, look at me.
If its so great, why the FUCK are you on the internet!? Go outside and see some shit.
I would also like to add, if you go to Thailand and only Thailand its not really travelling is it?! Its called a fucking holiday.
That is all, and before anyone starts Paul-j does not do this.

how is paul j any different to the people you have described? i've got a handful of people on my friends list who do this but I dont think its a LOOK AT ME thing, some people are actually interested in reading and looking at pictures of that shit.

(sp) is not an excuse for terrible spelling in all your posts smack.
The content isn't normally very good so they could at least be easy to read.

Yeah one of my friends does that, I don't mind because I quite like seeing the pictures etc but I can't help but think why don't you just get on and enjoy yourself.

hold on folks, most of the time i'm pretty sure they are enjoying themselfs, as you may or may not remember communicating with your loved ones from that side of the world is very very expensive unless you use the internet. Parents and friends are genuinely interested what their sons/daughters/friends are doing as they arent going to hear/see them every day!

I like it when people put up pictures of everything they do, be it going shopping to having dinner with their mothers or every single weekend they spend in town getting pissed.

i think you can select certain people to see less updates from. I'd do that.
I can see how it's annoying, but i mostly agrre with Willay.
One of my friends birds is obsessed with cross-stitch and uploads about 10 pics everyday of the progress she's made with her current pieces

jambo, but why use photobucket and then go onto facebook to update your life where you could do it with one application? PS stop putting up status updates which make me want to ask questions

Whenever I've done the travelling thing we've always gone from place to place after finding somewhere to stay on the web. If I'd have had Facebook when I last went then I'd have probably put a few pics up e.t.c..
But I do have to say, it does get a bit out of hand whenever you go to the pub and some gits got a camera and they feel the need to take pictures of the event. Even more so if it's just the usual drinks at the pub type affair. Oh, and the people who seem to write what they are doing whenever they start a new task during the day. It's usually not an interesting task, and they must be a little self obsessed if they think that people might be interested in the fact they are at work, or doing some coursework at school.

Personally I have the money to up sticks and travel round the world if I wanted to.
However it would involve quitting my job, which is actually quite a good job. Therefore I plan on seeing the world by way of an exotic holiday every year
