I joined Facebook just 3 years ago so as to see family holiday photos, otherwise would never had got to see them. They never had theirs pics printed, so now I can download any photos to my hearts content and print them off myself. :-D

I have also made DVDs for my granddaughter from her 2 six months travels, so lasting memories for her too. <3

Also agree that it is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family by Skype and pms. :-)

So did you put this up thinking everyone was going to agree with you Graham?

It hasn't worked :-D

I have about 60 FB friends a lot I don't have anything to do with but like to see what they post

I am also in private groups where you can chat away share photos without the world and his wife looking in

I also steal any photos that Daughters put up that I fancy and have them printed up

I would hate to live in a world where everybody agreed with each other. ;-)

I have been on FB since 2007. I use it to keep in touch with family not living locally, we have more contact this way than we would normally. I am in touch with ex colleagues and we carry on conversations over something and nothing. I have been contacted by friends I have not seen for decades and renewed friendships. I chat regularly with my sons ex girlfriend friends, and made some new Facebook "friends"
I don't get involved in any games or pokes or other nonsense, but I do enjoy some of the friendly, sometimes serious banter.

I have just had a personal message from a young ex colleague asking to explain the rules of rugby because she has just met a rugby player who is 6'3" and 19 stone, she asked if this was normal, I said he sounds great to me

pmsl :-D :-D Ann Summers.

I have this vague memory of being poked and having to choose/buy something, fluffy puppies spring to mind. I'm afraid I ignored it.

I'm the same with beggers and door knockers.

I'll have to look for it now Paula, in case it's retro :-D

Budgie.. When you log on your status page, on the left hand side under Apps you will see a list POKE is there on mine. I have to be honest and say I have never poked or accepted a poke, but each to his/her own is what I always say ;-)


Edit a typo :-0
