FACEBOOK - why?

[Rhubarb]

I mean, it's bad enough spending a couple of hours on Mumsnet without having another site to waste my life on as well!

I like to go outside every now and then, breathe the fresh air and talk to real people, you know that thing where you move your mouth and real words come out?

I mean, how can we teach our kids social skills when all we do is sit at the pc "chatting" to pretend people all day?

And yet when I mention my flange of pixies you all think I'm the one who's mad!

So explain the addiction to me please.

dunno about the facebook thingy cause I have a page and I still don't get it

eerrrmm flange of pixies??????

I have a page and I don't think I get it fully either

A page? As in a page-boy? Page out of a book? Or what? You have a page of what woman? Come on, spit it out!

Rubs?
Um, think I meant Rhubs....

Fancy a choccie biscuit JV?

Hello boss

Watch it JV! It'll be after yer flange!

No ta Rhubs, got any custard creams? - they go better when dunked in bovril.

A FACEBOOK PAGE, you dozy mare

but I really do not get it

I have managed to contact my mate whose number I had lost because he has a facebook page but I no I have his number I don't need to see him on facebook.....

I wanna a biccie

Hey norma

How lovely to finally meet a real life flange pixie - I expected you to be orange coloured, like DPs gonad goblins.

that should say 'but now I have his number...'

You only get one page do you? Well there you go then, I'd need more than one page me! It's too small for Rhubs!

I think JV's got a case of the flange-pixieria.

I like facebook for the games really..I like playing scrabble to keep my brain going as sometimes feel like it doesnt get much work being home with 3 very young dc.

I have managed to find a few old uni mates which has been nice

Wipe that trail off my leg you little filth-bag.

i have facebook but i don't know what your meant to do on it.

as far as i can work out you just add people to a list and call them friends and send people notes to say "have a beer"?

i havent seen anyone chatting or actually getting to know anyone.

i am baffled by it....and yet my younger brotehr thinks its the best thing since sliced bread

Ugh! I drop friends for a reason, can't imagine wanting them to contact me again - then I'd have to drop them all over again!

For me, there has been so much vileness here lately, I mean I like a ruck as much as the next person but really!

So far, everyone is having FUN (remember that?) on FB and of course you have your Scrabble.

You're still not selling it to me.

Um, I don't talk to strangers on it. I play scrabble with, and talk to, my mum and brothers who I don't see every day.

If you don't like, don't do it. Simple really.

Agree with NB - Mumsnet is getting beyond ridiculous and if I wasn't sat at the computer working I wouldn't even bother with it.

mamazon...I've added you as a friend! I've only managed to find a couple of people I vaguely recognise because they're using their posting names. PLay scabble,t at's what I'm using it for! If anyone wants to add me, please do!! I'm under kokeshi.
