someone looking at your screen and/or nagging you
Can you Stop Looking at my screen Bruh. Sure Sorry
This saying was conceived by Bob and his buddy Mel while on a cycle ride to Portsmouth Dock Yard via Gosport in the Summer of 1963. They passed by a naval shipyard and noticed a beached and apparently discarded mini (aka: one-person) submarine in the assembly yard. The yard gate was open, so the guys checked out the sub and noticed that it had an open hatch upon which had been placed a fly screen (of the household variety), beggaring the question: "what is as useful as a fly screen on a submarine"??? Ironically, someone had punched a hole through the screen through which a horde of wasps had flown in through the hatch and nested. The thought came to mind of how annoying it would be - after closing up the submarine - to have the wasps buzzing around inside the sub...
Following immigration to Canada in 1975, one of the guys adjusted the saying to: "as useful as a screen door on a submarine" to accommodate Vancouver Island / BC / Canada / North America vernacular (which didn't recognize the term "fly screen").
the act of a Central Bank 'printing' fiat money, ie: quantitative easing, in an attempt to curb inflation is "as useful as a fly screen on a submarine"

Irish screen break = Looking at this spread sheet is starting to strain my eyes. I know, i'll spend 5 minutes on Youtube.

When you have a wank over someone you know who looks like an actress in a porn film. You split your screen to show the woman you know on one side of the screen (perhaps a Facebook photo) and the porn video with actress who looks like her on the opposite side.
Brian: "You coming down the pub mate?"
John: "Nah, having a split screen reality wank mate."
Brian: "What's that?"
John: "Found a pornstar that looks like your sister mate, will load that up while looking at your sisters profile picture."
Brian: "You're a sick fuck mate."

The time where you're getting in to the computer, you figure you'd listen to some tunes and finally, a big FAT BLACK screen appears. If anyone tries to look it this up to see if this is troubleshooting, try searching the Yahoo engine.
"I'm so sick of it. The Windows XP Black Screen happens everytime I am on the computer for along time!"

to bring on screen is a more polite way to say Facebook or Facebook stalk; a euphemism for online stalking
Me: I met a cute guy/girl at the party last night.
Tom: Bring him/her on screen.
