Jan uses faces book, as does other members of our family.

I flatly refuse to have anything to do with it. I've heard too many 'horror-stories' !

Like many things it is a good servant but a bad master.

If that is typical Facebook material, I rest my case .......

Honestly, Frances - :o - Mary and her husband look hilarious! It's a fun picture, and not particularly "typical". I particularly liked a photo of Barry apres-a-delicious-curry recently, too!

Thanks to Facebook, I have been enjoying Susannah's year-later-honeymoon pictures this afternoon.

Quite honestly, Kargarine, I don't think you are missing much. There are alternatives

We had a particularly unpleasant young female at the farm this year who has been forced to try to create a gFace Book group called "We like ******* ******". Nobody seems interested in joining. By contrast I have had a succession of invitations from what appear to be over se*ed and probably underaged females in far-flung countries - they should be flung even further with Mr Hoo flun Gdung.
Yes, I do have a presence - instead of Swedish (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i3wkw0Byuis)* I have gone for an Italian firefly on Face Book and "Get Jealous" and keep a low profile. I find Skype far more useful because the French telephone system has certain drawbacks.
Outlook Express I simply cannot stand. I used it at work :x :x :x but here at home someone else is paying and I don't know the codes to link it up (if I wanted to).

* quite seriously, can anyone tell me what this tune has been turned into- I'm sure there is an American name.

Well I openly admit I love Facebook! It is fantastic for keeping in touch with family, friends etc. I have got back in touch with several of my classmates/housemates from CH which I am pretty certain wouldn't have happened without Facebook. It's also good for sharing photos - as previously mentioned, you can set your level of security so just because you post photos doesn't mean everyon on your friends list can see thm.

I wouldn't be here on this forum, if it wasn't for Facebook! I think I found Jo through a Facebook group. Great for quick updates between clients at work.

I have OB friends on Facebook who think this forum sounds too much like hard work. All those different boards to have to check, instead of everything being...well....there - all together in one place! :D It's just what you get used to, I suppose.

Re husband leaving his phones at work. He put a note on FB to that effect and his 'friends' in TV land put out a message to that effect. consequentially he had had hundreds of "friend" invitations from fans. Fortunately you can just hit "ignore".
