[Cobra]

so have the rest of us

Hmmm I need new jokes or new friends then I guess......................
(I like my jokes )

I have seen it a few times, strikes me as very odd....that said I have found occasionally in the past that I've liked something without realising because of my fat fingers

Can you afford to lose your old friends

 

[Cobra]

Can you afford to lose your old friends

Yeah I'll just the young ones

 

[viv1969]

What is this "Facebook", of which you speak?

 

[Gremlin]

Yeah I'll just the young ones

Just what the young ones....................... not shoot them I hope

 

[Cobra]

What is this "Facebook", of which you speak?

Ah its a magical mystical world,
where people keep you up to date with all the important things
that are happening.

Like what they are eating for breakfast,
and like all good news items there are usually pictures of said food,
or "selfies" of it going down their gobs.

If you are really in with the in crowd,
they may even share their lunch venue, with you.
Who they are with and follow that with an image of an empty plate

Of course they may even share an image of their sprog puking up its farleys rusk,
if you are truly blessed

Just what the young ones....................... not shoot them I hope

Keep damn it keep

 

[Gremlin]

Yeah I'll just the young ones

Keep damn it keep

You might be better keeping the old ones, they won't remember your old jokes

Actually, as an avid facebook user, you're not the only one who had noticed that. It's basically to boost readership count as the "like" shows up on other people's side ticker.

I still say that its hedonistic to like your own posts
Perhaps I'd better hide this thread otherwise, we will be getting a few demands for the like button to
show on our own TP posts as well

What's Facebook?

 

[u8myufo]

the trend that's getting me is the "amazing!" comment, for very ordinary pictures, songs, clips etc

They took a leaf out of TP

Thats true

As I said to Ruth, when she asked the same question

its a magical mystical world,
where people keep you up to date with all the important things
that are happening.

eg what they are eating for breakfast,
and like all good news items there are usually pictures of said food,
or "selfies" of it going down their gobs.

Is that the chicken and the egg comment?

I must join. My life will be so much the richer. I could then spend all my time in the pub/on the train/in front of the telly/having a cr@p with my little digital lifesaver three inches from my nose, keeping up to date.

Amazing!

See, what you have been missing?
its a whole new world out there

But is it a better world?

But is it a better world?

I guess a lot of that depends on your view of this one

Something I have frequently noticed is when someone has included their maiden name as part of their facebook identity and they write it like:

Joanne Bloggs was Smith.

I have not once seen the word née used in anyone's name.
Is this format something Facebook insists on or is it, at least anecdotally, that people are ignorant of the correct word?

I think it's symptomatic of the dumbing down of the English language perpetuated by the general ignorant 20 something's who are content to speak in Australian upspeak, like you know !

I've noticed it. Not necessarily more so recently, it seems to have been something some people have always done at times and it puzzles the hell out of me!

I didn't realise that it is "on going"
I've only just noticed it TBH.

Whether it's a new craze or whether it's always happened, either way it's outright bizarre!

No argument from me on that score!

I will like posts from my Photography page from my personal page as it then gets them shown to my friends who aren't necessarily likers of my page yet.
