It's FB, ffs!

A few moans about Facebook: not the website but some of the people who use it.....

1 Stop posting messages warning that FB are going to pass your personal details to advertisers. That's how FB make their money. If you don't like it, close your account,

2 Stop moaning about the FB timeline. It is what it is. Again, you can close your account or just wait till the Wunderkinder at FB come up with a new design, which you probably won't like either!

3 Stop inviting me to turn FB pink - or any other colour - in support of people with cancer. Your post will not raise a single brass penny for cancer research - and that's where your energies should be directed. Here's to the folk who have realised that and run or walk for a good cause - and here's to their mates who support their efforts through Justgiving!

4 Stop putting up message of condolence for departed celebrities. Your message won't reach their families, who are the only people who matter in this situation. If you know what the people died of, feel free to make a donation to a charity to support research into their illness.

5 Ffs, remember the rules of texting do not apply on FB. Write in sentences and try - try! - TRY! - to spell and punctuate correctly!

  2. It seems I have somewhere between 85 and 193 games requests awaiting my attention on FB. In case anyone's wondering: it's never going to happen!

  3. More seriously: can we have no more photos of sick babies, please? This amounts to abuse at times.
