Moderator Cynic Posted August 6, 2015 Moderator Posted August 6, 2015 Not as bad as it sounds just my daughter moaning that I'm so 'unconnected' and i must 'get up to date' so if facebook type rubbish comes through to you I'm trying to see the point,(and work it properly). Sorry. 1

Ttaskmaster Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 WhatsApp is cool, because you can send texts, images and videos as if they were text mesages, but for free over the internet. Farcebook, Twatter and all the other 'Social Media' stuff is mostly useless posts of people telling you they're eating beans on toast, or taking a crap while posting (often with photos to prove it!), or reposting some useless inflamatory bullshit Guardian article. Comparatively few people use it to actually socialise and just keep in touch. I abandoned mine... If being unconnected and out of touch means not wasting my life on other peoples' crap, then I'm happy to stay out of that mundane and shallow loop! I'm surprised that 'Cynic', of all people, took up the reins on this. I await your cynical findings...!
Moderator Cynic Posted August 7, 2015 Author Moderator Posted August 7, 2015 Yes I am cynical and yes in the main I think its bullshit, but! Through said farcebook by pure chance found out that a good friend of mine was having his 40th last weekend and that has led to me meeting back up with some long neglected mates.Don't expect me to use it much if at all but as a means to communicate meaningful things to genuine friends yes it has its uses. It also means I can keep my daughter happy, the eldest is fine but my youngest goes for entirely the wrong kind of friends. Providing you don't just get friends for all the bullshit games there are,ie make 5 friends and get more gold/crystals/whatever that's just farming for names, pah. That is bad.And no, I will not be expanding into whatsit and twatter, this one will do. 2
meatloaf Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 I know people post a lot of crap on the book of face but I think its brilliant, my daughter tends to piss off for a few months at a time, last years she spent 2 months in South Africa mostly rock climbing and surfing, this year pissed off on 2nd Jan and came back in time for my birthday at the end of April, while we were having crap weather she was touring Oz, New Zealand, India and a few other places. Its great to see what she's up to. Bonus was one day while talking listening to the old dragon mother in law drone on about fuck know what, I showed her some pictures that my daughter posted the previous day from the great barrier reef, that shut her up if only for a minute or two. 4
neversaydie Posted August 7, 2015 Posted August 7, 2015 Been on a while (suggested by children) Its mostly twaddle for the J Kyle genertion, brought up on Big Brother/Only way is Essex/Etc/Etc/Etc

Ttaskmaster Posted August 11, 2015 Posted August 11, 2015 Tch ! Do these young people not understand that us old curmudgeons are happy in our isolation and ignoranceSod the young people - I'd rather the marketing companies took the hint!
wild foamy Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 (edited) I've been on there for a while, the buying/selling groups are always handy because they are free, i've practically given up on eBay selling. WhatsApp is great, especially for sending messages from overseas because its free.Snapchat, kind pointless unless you're sending pics of your knob to the missus and you dont want her to save it and giggle to her friends the next day.Chat Roulette, well... it wouldnt be a complete night until you've had an eyeful of some fat sweaty portugese man masturbating on camera.

slice Posted August 17, 2015 Posted August 17, 2015 Foams, your surrounded by fat sweaty airmen couldn't you watch them having a wank and save on batteries? 1
wild foamy Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 Id rather chase the local tail wherever i happen to land. i miss America... but i dont miss the itching burning sensation i caught from it. 1
Noise Posted August 18, 2015 Posted August 18, 2015 I hate technology to a degree, i just recently (end of last month) deleted my Facebook account and i actually feel liberated.no more of those annoying notifications informing me that someone has commented on this that and the other and no more of the normal bitching that they all seam to do on there.found that you get more time in the shed too which is a bonus 1
