nationwide mistake

Is it just me who has managed to get through all these banking glitches without any drama at all?

Why would anyone run out and spend money just because it appears to be in your account without questioning it?

Nope. I've got both Natwest and Nationwide accounts. No problems with either. Maybe I'm just lucky.

Your guess is as good as mine.

They did question it - but they felt defrauding a casino was a bright idea!

(While I personally think they are shady businesses anyway and so couldn't care less if they are defrauded - if you do that then you have to face the consequences if you're caught!)

I wasn't affected by the Natwest issue either. I have 4 accounts with them.

If you don't like what they post, why not just unfriend them on Facebook instead of !!!!!ing behind their back?

She's an old friend, and i wouldn't say anything here that i wouldn't say to her face. I've not seen her for a while but when i do, i'll be having a word with her ! She's only been like this since she had her kids. She's pregnant again, picture of scan photo on FB to prove it. WHY ???

Think i will have to block her soon though, it's getting tiresome now.

So what do you post about on Facebook?

Nothing. I only use it to send messages, post holiday photos and to speak to my friends on FB Chat in the USA and family in Australia. The status thingy is what annoys me most about FB, some people genuinely have interesting lives, but some just use it to bore people to death about what they've had for tea, or that they're going to bed. There are some FB groups which offer support and i would never knock anyone who uses it for this purpose.

Well, if someone found my Facebook posts boring, I'd be quite happy that they removed me as their friend.

I mean, you would sit in a room with a boring person trying to have a conversation, would you? You'd go seek out someone more interesting, not sit there listening then moaning about them being boring to anyone that will listen.

Seems strange.

Some people are boring, some aren't.

I have an old friend who comes round to see me every week and tells me the same things every time i see her. She does bore me, sometimes, but i listen to her because she needs to unload on someone, she has huge family and money problems. If i dump her as a friend just because she bores me sometimes, then i'm not much of a friend am i ?

I used to have a friend on there who, every single day, posted "just about to go to the park with the dog", "at the park walking the dog", "about to go home", "now back at home". Along with a myriad of other things like "just about to eat dinner", "watching TV" etc. etc.

It's completely harmless so I'd personally feel it's rather vindictive to moan about it to them, or tell them "you are so annoying I can no longer stand being linked to you on the internet", but I can completely see where people moaning about incessant boring status updates come from!
