Facebook. Others have done it. My turn now. Dumped.

From my FB feed, I gather...

You're judging what's on TV based on what your Facebook friends tell you, but clearly your Facebook friends only watch the shite stuff...

You need new Facebook friends.

This is why I only let mates take pictures of me as none of them are on FB.

Would a tin foil hat help keep the extra terrestrial rays out, or is that just a myth?

Too late. Far, far too late.

Each to his own. Yes, it can be a time waster, but equally, if I think about what sort of things have been transmitted via Facebook over the past year, they include:

....... divorces/break-ups.

Mm. How many induced by FB, or accompanied by FB mindgames and desperate "look who i am/maybe ***ing now" posts?

The camera never lies, its the camera person getting creative with photoshop that often does.

Photoshop isn't needed dave - you can do a lot with clever angles and lighting. Both not necessarily planned as there is the other favourite - take 5,763 pics, chances are that if you sift through all of them a chance angle, fleeting light, momentary passing of two planets you have never heard of and their atmospheric influences will produce a pic in which the subject looks glorious. And of course there is good old fashioned make-up. Make up plus planets, plus the 1 pic out of 10,000, you haven't a clue what you are looking at.

Facebook is no better or worse than a lot of media crap. People waste vast quantities of time telling everyone that they are now having a cup of tea on Twatter. I have some really good friends that I talk to on Facebook, and have a good laugh with them. I also stay in touch with friends I have not seen in 20 Years.

I have all my privacy settings in place so only the people /things I am interested in pop up on my account. It's easy to do.. don't like something you see, then set it to not interested. Simple.

Facebook has proved handy for my cycling group, although it ran perfectly well for eight years without it.

I made the mistake of accepting a friend request from one of our lady members.

A more pleasant lass you couldn't wish to find, but oh dear, it seems she's never off ruddy facebook.

Call me less than curious, but I have no interest in seeing pics of her with her mates in a bar/on holiday/going shopping/having a day out, etc.

I cured the problem by unfriending her and by never looking at my timeline, which also saves me from seeing random other junk that pops up.

Where's the TV Times?

Eeeuurgh how dreadfully common.

I don't use Facebook (per se)

However I hate the fact that there are some places now there to log in or access information you need to use it.

Get new email from one of the free hosts, create account, get information, deactivate

Saves all the hassle

 

[ufkacbln]

Which raises the other issue of dishonesty and corruption!

If you "buy" a "Like" by offering a discount or free service / goods.........is it not simply bribery?

You don't need to defriend people these days on FB. You can just set it so you can not see a certain persons feed on the timeline.
I had a (cycling) friend who posted so much stuff that it really got on my wick so I defriended him. They changed the options so now I am back friends with him without having to see all his postings.

It's called turning off notifications I think. I did it to my granddaughter who seemed to change her profile photo every 5 minutes. Karma has been restored.
