Welcome aboard Batsinthebelltower, hope your well too.
I also got rid of that Faceb**k rubbish for the same reasons. What a load of crap!  :lol:

I only got FB page coz the band had one and they wanted me to be an admin on it, I open it maybe once a year. I did mange to find some friends I'd lost track of, that's been it's only redeeming feature so far.

Yeah I'm the same Richard only I am not the admin of the page.  It has worked wonders for the band and opened up communication to further afield a lot easier than what it was like without it I'm sure.  However sometimes people rely on it too much,, IE promoters forgetting how to make phone calls and do everything via Faceb**k rather than speaking directly to people when ever they really should do.

However it's still shite and for trendy people.

We're coming to a time where if you're not on all the social media crap you get disenfranchised, as people expect that you are (oh I sent you a face book message, why didn't you get it... are you a Neanderthal or something ?).  I just started a new job and they supply me an iPhone, f$ck wanted to smash it after 10 mins, had to get my daughter to show me a few things to calm me down. Seems apple have gone for a 5th generation programming interface (each abstraction from machine code you loose granularity), where your choices are as dumbed down as they can make them. Anyway it's hooked up to everything corporate, took 2/3rds of a day to get it to work  :facepalm:

Welcome Back!!!

Good to see you bro. I'm pretty disenchanted with FB lately too. Sometimes, I see stuff I don't wanna see & it breaks my heart. Not enough good substance, just a bunch of link bait and people talking about themselves or ranting about their latest agenda. Bah!

Do I sound old? ha ha

Few years ago during my dark period (I had been un employed for ages and was pretty poor and depressed)  I was getting chatting to some bird in the pub.  I was pretty certain I was gonna nail her which would have been good for my spirit at the time.  She asked for my Faceb**k (and not my phone number  :crazy:) and I said I don't have one.  She said "what?" and turned around and walked off!!

That made me even more set against the fuckers on social media.  Too many assholes find you on it as well and use it as a platform to talk about themselves in a very attention seeking sorta way.  As Dante said

That was a few years ago now, and I have to say I hear more and more people leaving it.  So perhaps the tides are turning!!

I still have to say having it for the band has worked well, but me personally I like the privacy!

iphone Richard!!!  Yeah I f**king hate phones as well!!  f**king phone mania!  Texting and phone calls is about my limit.  hahahahha god I love ranting about shit I hate!!  Typical Irish!!

Mmmmm so you got dumped because you didn't have Faceb**k? That's crazy.
Title: Re: Back again !!
Post by: rabidgerry on October 12, 2015, 03:02:30 AM
No not quite.

She basically was interested in me up until the point that I said I didn't have Faceb**k, then she pissed off because I think she thought I was strange because I had no Faceb**k. 

I wasn't going out, I only met her thatr night, but I was trying to ............ahem get in her knickers and she seemed up for it until I delivered "no Faceb**k" hahahahha  it is still crazy, what I f**king retard!!  Oh well that wa sa long time ago and she missed out some quality lovin  :lol:

Yeah so she dumped you because you didn't have Faceb**k coz that meant your a wierdo (in her head) coz  "everyone got Faceb**k"... It's a worry, everyone is being defined by the "Internet of Things", walk around the streets, everyone is staring at a screen  :facepalm: :'( some even get run over... It's not good.

she didn't dump me lol

I wasn't going out with her to begin to get dumped, I was how we say over here, "trying to pull her".  She was game up until the no Faceb**k thing which is the point.

och I will be honest I was just looking to score some putang so I wasn't hurt or anything!  She was also wasted so it should have been easy.  Emphasis on SHOULD.

But f*ck I said I had no Faceb**k, the magic words to turn a girl off eh  :lol:

That was a while ago back when I was single.

You can add me to the list as well. Faceb**k is just another way for psycho chicks to stalk you.

It seems many of us in here agree on that point. I haven't looked in on my Book-face page in over a year. I'm not in a hurry to either. I just don't live on the internet, I live in real time. Just my two cents
