Yesterday I moved a little Ottoman thing from one bedroom to another. I thought to myself, "that would come up nicely if I gave it a paint" (it's raw pine currently). I then thought that the addition of two little leather buckle straps to keep it closed would be a nice touch. So I searched Google for "small leather buckle straps for chest".

That would probably get me banned from FB, if I were on it. Which I'm not.

Used by walkers to carry their gear if they don’t want to wear a rucksack

I understand what you're saying, but I won't be joining FB or anything similar. Before, I could simply browse the forum I was interested in, but this has now been blocked now - fair enough. To me, FB et al represent too many negatives in society, and can dominate to an unhealthy level. This is just a personal view - no disrespect to those that find such things to be of use/interest

Local to me FB is essential as news and information is disseminated there and nowhere else. Saves a lot of bother finding out the hard way.

You will probably get ads for S&M gear popping up every time you use Google.

In French, as well... Doncha just love those algoriddims?

Alan Rickman: 'Cut out his heart with a spoon!'
His brother: ' A spoon?'
Rickman ' It's blunt it'll hurt more'

Prince of Thieves.

I wondered about that when I saw the film.

I hadn't realised that there were different degrees of painfulness involved in having one's heart cut out, depending on the implement used.

What can I say. I've always been a bit of a rebel.

And very flexible as well. 😂

I have been found not guilty 😁

I am a member of a dog agility group on Facebook, there was a discussion about Kennel Club rules regarding competing with female dogs in season where most people including the Kennel Club were using the correct term for a female dog and the Facebook algorithm had a complete meltdown deleting lots of posts and threatening to close the group!

I did notice that you cannot talk to a live person unless you have a business account.

Talking to the dead on facebook.

Talking to the dead on facebook.

I've heard Youtube is just as bad. Can shut down a channel on a whim, that has taken years to build up. You've then got to move heaven and earth to try and speak to a human. Sad state of affairs.

Over here, we still get access to Piratebay. I use it to catch up on some of the TV stuff back there. A common search I do is BBC, but you need to be careful with which boxes you tick, as you can end up with some unintended viewing

Yeah, that's a risky search for sure. You might end up watching British Broadcast Corporation by mistake

Effectively left FB donkey's years ago.
I well remember a thread/conversation start where it transpired that the person who started it had total control over contributions.
Something pretty close happens in NACAs on here now and again.
Have no time for that sort of sad controlling nonsense - better to natter down the pub or wherever.
One thing that always amazed me - folk signing into various other stuff with a FB account - why the hell would anyone do that? - may as well walk around with a malicious monkey on my back and share my life with it.

To the majority of people hoeing is linked to gardening, an internet search brings up mostly gardening results, but further investigation brought up a reference to prostitution in the urban dictionary, something I wasn't aware of.

Interesting.
