Old Uni friend posted pictures of his trip to Paris, I noted, what looked like pictures from Eurostar, prompted me to ask him, how was it, booking, could you take your own picnic onboard and such. Without him sharing I would not have asked, yes I could google for said answers, but nice to hear it from a friend 

See, in that scenario, I would have rang someone I knew who had been on there. Or even Eurostar themselves.

But then I go out to shops, rather tahn sit on my arse doing it all online

Yup your old fashioned. But....

You posted some time ago about the Chiltern Slug, so why did you post that to the whole world?

You said how crap a particular product/service was. You wanted everyone to know your thoughts on it. Errr news flash, thats what people do on facebook & twitter - At least on facebook you control who can see it, unlike OOF 

Notice a few other people here blabbing on about showing things to whole world, don't understand it, and so on errrrr
 news flash OOF is not exactly a private website

But we are all different.

For instance, this evening, I'm watching Frozen Planet.  I'm sure many will call me gay, but I think those watching the sensationalist shite that is Panarama are gay

Its a good job we are all different, else we'd all be inbreds.

[Debs.]

I have no desire to get back in touch with people I knew from school.

  Me neither!.......well, with the exception of Helen Highwater; and that`d only be to poke fun at her name (again!)!

The Chiltern Slug was a very public outburst on how crap their service is. A vent.

I wouldn't have wanted to force it upon virtual friends in a closed circle, as I assume they would not be interested in it.  For that reason, I suggested the guideline that all threads should have a meaningful title (which seems to be slipping lately, guess I'll have to play Mr Scrouge again to drag it back in line  )

I still fail to see the point of BookArse and idiotter. Nobody has yet showed me a use for it.  BUT I'm happy they have found a use to keep in touch with virtual friends. I personally cannot understand this.  Its always been called a gay dating site in my circles, long before it became the most popular of the social networks, and it probably always will be.  It, to this day, remains on the Gay List, along with marrow, gold cars and Apple hardware.

Like you've never a owned gold car or Apple products 

[Dishevelled Den]

In its entirety that was very interesting but - and call me anything you so desire - I don't think the world would stop should these social networking sites go teats-up although, by the obvious fervour appended to some arguments, it may well do so considering the many who are held in thrall to this ‘indispensable’ technology.

[TheBoy]

Like you've never a owned gold car or Apple products 

Indeed, I didn't make the Gay List, although had input to some of the suggestions for inclusion, and have fallen foul of a few of the rules, including:

Sneezing just once
Owning a crApple product
Owning a gold car
Owning a car with a brown steering wheel (aka, "holding a turd")

[Vamps]

wot no facebook,its the only way to find out what my kids are up to,

Same here, and I can keep an eye on what is going on.....Miss Vamps recently had someone post something that when I looked around I felt inappropriate, I left a message for her to report the post, Miss Vamps never saw it as the originator removed it themselves......gotta keep them safe.....

Hang on.. gay vegetables now?

I'll have you know I'm quite partial to a bit of roast butternut squash but I've exhibited no other symptoms. Not one crApple product in this house, and I'm not a turd-holder either. Never owned a car that's not been blue with a black steering wheel as a matter of fact.

The difference between OOF and Facebook Tunnie is that many of us here are totally anonymous, so we can post up any old crap or intimate details about our lives and even though it's broadcast to the world, no-one knows who we are or cares for that matter.....

Exactly what I was thinking while reading all this. Although I think there is genuine concern and empathy with most of the replies to personal or car related problems. I am sure if someone could help they actually would. Seems very friendly on here considering most are strangers to each other.

[VXL V6]

Its not with everyone else though is it? You only share it with people who you want to share it with.

Facebook and all the other sites of a similar trend have to release data as requested under specific requests from authorised parties.

There is quite a lot of help and support available on the side, so to speak, there is a wide variety of professional expertise on here that is not always obvious on the forum itself. I myself have provided and received support / advice by PM, email or telephone - I avoid texting where I can...
