Does anyone have an account on this popular site?

Yes, But I honestly don't know what it's all about. A friend roped me in, and then another. Haven't really got the time or patience to look into it further.
Maybe I'm just a thick old git? Confused

I opened one but I closed it again shortly afterwards. I kept getting email requests from ladies that wanted to become 'friends', no doubt some of them were genuine and others Somalian teenagers hoping to scam some middle aged white guy for living expenses.
Very quickly it became tiresome, only if you're sad, lonely, or gullible it might be for you. Wink

That's an offer you can't refuse Buzzy.

Yeah, i'm on there, mainly for all my old pals from school. I had a nightmare with getting emails constantly, really annoying, but just adjusted my privacy settings and now I never hear from them!! Wink

Add me as a friend if you want to!

Cheers

On a more serious note my day job involves working with CIO’s in UK law firms, the CIO’s go to great length to implement some top level IS security policies, only to find out that some senior partners are exchanging information with clients on facebook!!

I use facebook and have never had any “spam” type messaging IMHO it’s a great way to keep in touch with folk.

I think I did set up a login a while back, but I rapidly lost interest - its enough keeping on top of all the emails I already get, without perusing facebook too Smile

Most of my old school friends are ether dead, ga-ga or never learned to use a computer so facebook is of limited use to me. Confused

I got talked into going on there...........don't know what all the fuss is about. Having said that, I probably don't know what I am doing....I have never had any ladies wanting to be my friend Crying or Very sad
