£750pa was my starting wage at 18.

Mind you, a pint was 11p  :)



Surely it was old money then?

Coming up nearly a year from being off Facebook so decided to pop back on the other day to see who was coming to the local Thursday night massive game, which to be honest is the only reason I stayed on as long as I did before coming off last year.



Reasons I hate facebook so much

1. Mental girlfriends :

"Who is that girl that you"re friends with called . Who is she?"
"She clicks like a lot on your posts. Who is she?"
"Why did you comment on that girls photo. Who is she?"
"Why have you just made friends with . Who is she?"
"You were booked into a place with 36 other people.. one of them was female.. who is she?"
etc etc etc

Then there"s mental ex girlfriends.. but won"t even go there.

2. "Friends".. now I do have a lot of friends. But to be fair there is no way that I could possibly have 500+ friends in real life. That guy who I met down the pub who was mates with someone else that I kinda knew, that lad I used to go to school with but havent seen since, .. etc etc. No you"re not my friend. And really after having maybe a 5 minute catch up. We now have nothing in common again. If we did we"d have kept in touch. Sigh.

3. Deleting "Friends".. remember having a cull once and instantly getting a text message from someone asking why I"d deleted them. Really? I havent seen you in over 5 years, I"m not arsed with your constant whinging statuses (see number 4) to be honest. But you really noticed instantly that you had 1 less friend. THEN scrolled through your spreadsheet list or whatever to see who it was who"d deleted you, cross referenced and your VLOOKUP = "Phil". Sigh.

4. Whinging statuses. Those "Friends" who constantly whinge. You"ve only had 2 hours kip? Well it could have been 2 hours and 5 minutes if you hadnt updated facebook. You have a bad toe. You"ve had another bad day at work. Your herpes has flared up again? WP GG. No thanks.

5. Poor me statuses. Those "Friends" who put open ended statuses craving attention. "God.. I can"t believe thats just happened" or "Argh why does this keep happening" etc etc.. wanting the whole world to go "whats wrong?" etc. If you really crave attention that much I feel sorry for you. Cheer up. Please.

6. Why bother statuses. To be honest I do miss Stu"s "having a poo at work" statuses as I know he was having a good time and getting paid whilst doing it.. but "going for a walk" "bored" etc. Really? Why bother. Get a life.



So no.. to anyone who asks. I"m not on Facebook.

Quality post that Phil :)

No more work poo updates tho, as my manager is on Facebook and would want to know why I needed 4 poo"s in 9 hours.

Stealthy ninja poo ftw :)

#philrules


Thanks for the reminder Leigh



Number 7. People who use twitter hashtag references in Facebook. #It. #is. #not. #twitter! Do they not realise they don"t do anything in Facebook? Or are they trying to look cool? Look at me.. I saw someone once use a hashtag. I"m not really sure what they do so I"ll put one in. What? They"re completely pointless in Facebook? Oh #willstillkeepdoingitanywayasimanidiot



OK.. so today I"m going shopping. I"ve been asked to via PM to go shopping for an un-named APAT person who wants me to buy them a knitting book haha. Things I do for some people  ;D x

What does a # do in twitter?

I have a twitter account, but I haven"t really got any idea what to do with it

Have used the # in facebook pages in the past  :-[

Will try not to do that again "cos I wouldn"t want to annoy TC

Love you Dave :-*

Twitter hashtag is used to group the specific message being conveyed by that user..... For example, if a person is saying... "I"m going to bink the APAT tourny today as I"m a DTD cashing machine god don"t you know #APATPOKER". When any other user goes on Twitter and searches the phrase "APATPOKER", your tweet will appear in the search results because you categorised your tweet as relating to APATPOKER...

Essentially a way for Twitter users to organise conversations... If someone sends out a tweet about APATPOKER, they would add #APATPOKER at the end of their tweet so that other users searching for tweets on APAT, their tweet would show up in the search results.

Also useful for tracking chip counts and the like at an APAT tourny... and the updating gang often use them when I have a stack am at the bar with a beer.

The @ is used when you want to "tag" a person or send a message to a certain person. So if you wanted to tell Des et al at APAT you were going to bink.. it would be "@Apat_poker I"m going to bink...etc #APATPOKER" meaning Des et al would get a message telling them about your forthcoming binkage and also anyone who searches for APAT would see as well.

:-*

Lips are sealed! Not Ger though.. you think if it was Ger I"d be keeping quiet haha x

I do because I use apps that post to FB and Twitter at the same time (FourSquare / Streamified). There are others.
