to think its a twatty thing to do - be on facebook

[PVish]

when you hear 40 + year old women saying " oh it was hilarious on face book"

you think

Is it OK for her to say this when she is 39?

get out of the wrong side of the bed today??

I secretly agree but probably YABU and so am I.

Never been on facebook. Refuse to. Think it's something for teenagers.

See so many threads on here 'oh I saw that he had written messages on her wall' or whatever, I always think oh fgs.

Same as twitter. Who gives a flying fuck really.

i think teenagers
I agree with ALL GOML types

It's like people who row via text. Is something 15 year olds do.

Agree. I am a Facebook refusenik.

OTOH, it it really that much different to a 40 year old woman saying "It was hilarious on Mumsnet..." ?

Agree totally everyone knows when you are 40+ you use MN.

Posting on AIBU is much more grown up that going on facebook.

I like Facebook.. it's an ideal way to keep in touch on a daily basis with distant friends and relatives.

I've got a few friends I can talk about MN with... anyone else just looks at me blankly!

GOML
you would be hwo often i hear that in really serious sitations in my other line of work

I don't tell anyone I am on MN

Exactly SD! What is so different about MN?

er

its not designed for pubescent wkd drinkers

I say to dd "are you on that stupid facebook again sending inane messages to friends when you have just seen them at school 2 hours ago pfft what a waste of time"

DD says to me "are you on MN again talking to strangers about how to boil ham and how much you all fancy Kevin McCloud?"

Fair point. Usually shuts me up (for a short while).

You get a better class of wkd drinkers on MN.

Dont you just hate it when people use FB to stay in touch with family and friends. I have a phone/address book for that.

Also lots of dd's teachers on FB, they know when the teachers are going out on a Saturday night.

Are the teachers mad?. I mean, why add the kids you teach to facebook. Nuts.

Today's WKD drinkers are the Sauvingnon Blanc drinkers of tomorrow.

I use facebook (though not the apps) I think it is a fab way to stay in touch with friends and I have been lucky enough to meet a very old and dear friend after many years of no contact thanks to Facebook.

HTH

the telephone, how very old-school

40+ women really should know better shouldn't they?

Everyone should have better sense than to drink WKD drinks though, surely no self-respecting MNer would admit to such blatant common lack of taste?

Yes, yes the old 'I can write/e mail/phone if I want to be in touch with someone'

Yes you can. Others can use Facebook...is it that big a deal?

I am on facebook and it is a good way of getting in touch with old colleagues/school friends and family. I dont do all the farmville and mafia wars stuff,and Idont go on it daily but certainly dont think that its a twatty thing to do.

I disagree SoupDragon. WKD drinkers of today are the cheap Hardy's and Bucks Fizz drinkers of tomorrow.
