There isn't a day goes by, when Alison doesn't nag me about not having a faceache page of my own. I know quite a few peeps who used to be regulars on here, who no longer do, but are all on faceache.
Just interested in peeps views?

Aye timbo,

Only to send messages at my convenience to people that I wish to speak too, via the 'Message' service rather than emails. No "friends" or other **** and just restrict everything to the minimum.

I don't have an iPhone or Android etc either, just a 'brick', with GiffGaff 'Pay as you go', £10 lasts at least 6 months.  So the only way to access Pussbook (Dundonian slang for "face"  ) is via the Desktop.

If you wish to whitter, self publicise or advertise a business/charity, I can see that it has its uses. But for my pennyworth, my brain doesn't need it every 30 seconds along with 'Tw*tter' and that fashionable un-recyclable coffee cup by 'Costa-Planet' or 'Red Bullock' etc, other health hazards are available.

Deep breath!!!!        Avoid the rant button! 

Toodle pip, Bill

I keep thinking I should try it again, but the whole point seems to be bombarding you with the "I had chips for tea" , "Little Jonney did a big one", "I spoke to you once 30 years ago" rubbish. I may start up again and see if I can stay off the radar of the people I can't be bothered with.

I mind twitter less as I follow people I'm half interested in, only ever post to forward something I like or complain and it only wants you to follow "famous" people. I doubt Donald Trump is sulking because I turned down the request to follow him.

Morning chaps.... in a word NO. Don't think I ever will do either, it's the beginning of the end of civilisation as we know it IMVHO. Managed to get thro life (only just at times admittedly 🤘) Without it so ain't going to need it now.... I. Like Bill can am feeling the urge to tap on the rants section with this one..............😡😡

OOOH...can o worms been opened here timbo..   I have an account but don't post anything...just use it to look at bike stuff that I follow,I even unfriended all the inlaws and distant family we never see  ,

I'm with Bill here, not much time for this technomancy stuff. My phone is a brick and 'I' don't have a faceache or twaddle account in my name. However, due to circumstances a couple of years ago I needed to have access to both so I created an account for my alto ego, Mr Robert T Fischal - it lets me access some of the content which is useful without all the hassle and they'll have a job annoying Robert because he's r t fischall

I even unfriended all the inlaws and distant family we never see  ,

At last! A use for Facebook. Nice one, Half Ton! Must get an account...

I joined to get access to the real classic pages (as well as investigating a fraudster who owed my wife a large amount of money) but got so irritated by the constant ads and "you may like this" that I cancelled my account.

I appreciate I may be missing stuff but life's too short.....

BTW managed to catch the fraudster in the County Court and he paid up.......

Result, Ian! 

Sheriff's Officers can also be very handy in those situations.

Toodle pip, Bill

[iansoady]

They were a complete waste of time.

Short story is, we got a CCJ against the name the company was trading under when they ripped off my wife but they swapped names with a shell company they also owned just before the hearing so sheriff's officers said they could do nothing. The CCJ was recorded in the old name so was useless.

After some research we managed to have a variation order granted which changed the name on the judgement. The owner of the company rang up the next day and agreed to pay the whole amount outstanding (including costs and statutory interest at 8% since the start of the whole sorry mess), which he did. I expect if the CCJ had been recorded against the new company name he would have been in great difficulty with banks etc. If he's just paid up in the first place (and refrained from making insulting and defamatory statements) he's have saved himself a couple of thousand quid.

Thanks for all the "input" fellas 
I'm still not convinced 

[Andy M]

I've done it. Signed back up and followed a couple of bike related groups.

If you want to be my friend use a name I'd recognise on here and I'll do it, but apologies in advance, if it starts to annoy me it'll get closed again so don't go teenage schoolgirl on me. I really don't care if you are having your front room painted green, chips for tea etc. Its not personal.
