I have a friend who posts "Here I am on my lovely holiday with my lovely family in my lovely hotel" with pics

and then 20 people go "Oh how lovely babezzz, you deserve it, enjoy" and "love your pics, love you miss you" etc

and I think they are sycophantic lying shitbags and my dc think they are a bit odd but I am a horrible misery.

I'm not, am I?

It's hard writing 'gawjuss', isn't it? Grin

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 29/05/2013 21:59

Anyone who uses z's instead of s's deserves to have their Now become Then. (does that even make sense?)

Fortunately my Facebook seems to be populated with boring old pissheads like me who is possibly finally over the hangover from Saturday actually try to write in complete sentences.

Luvz ya all babez lol xxx

Judy has a very weak handshake. Weak handshakes make me wibble, I've taught my kids to give a good firm handshake and look the person in the eye. I've cracked this parenting lark.

Not judy! No! Say it isn't so.

FB is odd. I remain confused. I know someone who has just got engaged and has created a joint FB account just filled with photos marking their love. Her individual account is gone. Ts just 'awww, you are so lucky babes' ...etc

Lion - very true.

As unhinged as I am No-one on FB would ever know. I'm boringly vanilla and write in full sentences. I float by unnoticed.

gertrudetrain · 29/05/2013 22:07

I remain confused about those with a FB personality that does not bear any resemblance to their RL personality. Weird.

Hullygully · 29/05/2013 22:10

do we know you of old gertrude?

Hmm. Yes I have name changed, but although as I'm now in the FBI I can't tell you hilly [grin[. But I do know about Icod, rivers of shitty sweet corn, moldues etc.

Jins · 29/05/2013 22:17

Don't think anyone's ever said I deserve anything on FB. They may have thought it when I was moaning about my root canal but I don't care. FB is somewhere for me to offload minor details about my life that lets people think they know me.

How the hell are you Hully - thought you'd gorn

Hullygully · 29/05/2013 22:18

Aha!

I thought you had a touch of the bunched up pieces of grass and small bird about you gertride.

I know it was ages ago & is off topic, but I just wanted to say I love vicious little spite weasels Grin

I've never been told I'm gawjuss or that I deserve it. I even posted enigmatically about an emergency in my back garden & no one asked what was up, so that I could say I'd inbox them.

You truly do get the time line you deserve [sadface]

I think you may be right about Gert

I am rarely here myself. I am fighting prejudice in other places. I am exhausted

CherylTrole · 29/05/2013 22:22

Its all just stealth boasting, just like on MN. Job done. Mystery solved.

usualsuspect · 29/05/2013 22:23

I got told I look like a lot of fun on my FB.

Not a bloody gawgus anywhere,

gertrudetrain · 29/05/2013 22:24

Who's being percipient now?!

Don't make me go through the FAFF of namechanging again. I canny handle it.

gertrudetrain · 29/05/2013 22:26

Usual suspect, that sounds like a seedy chat up line. 'You look like a lot of fuuuun' strokes beard. Raises eyebrow.

usualsuspect · 29/05/2013 22:27

If only...

hurricanewyn · 29/05/2013 22:28

I'll inbox you hun Grin

Nah - a drunk person fell into my garden while I was watching the voice (terraced gardens so quite a drop) - he just went sailing past the living room window & made me scream. He broke his wrist. His equally drunk friend jumped after him to see if he was ok, and broke his ankle Hmm. Both were convinced they were fine (drunk, see)

Then all their friends swarmed into the house while we were waiting for the ambulance so we had 40+ 17 & 18 year olds in the house.

Was manic!

I'm not that's for sure. Grumpy with DH, grumpy with the kids, grumpy that my PILs have been here for 2 weeks. Oh wait, that might be the reason...

HoneyDragon · 29/05/2013 23:01

Maryz. Yes. She does.

So if I haven't time to clean it we climb out the window, or exit via the rear.

The internet encourages people to be great big old show offs.

But mostly I like my fb friends and if I find I don't I just hide 'em.

Shock that it really is that simple.

P.S. Who exactly was dear Fargy talking about??
