  • I don't do FaceBook, Twitter etc, I find it bizarre that people want to share so much of their lives online [STRIKE]says her who chatters on here incessantly[/STRIKE] :rotfl:. I know people who have FaceBook accounts & update when they've been to the loo well maybe not quite that bad but you get the gist of it :D

    Glad all's well with you & you're getting some downtime Ed xx

    I'm not sure if you're joking or not Al? :)

    A Columbus = someone who does something that lots of others have already done and then gets the credit! Leif Erikson landed in America hundreds of years before...

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    A truly cack day at work. Not convinced that coming home to run up and down the steep hill at the end of the street is the balm that my bad temper needs at this point.

    And he always has 'just one more question'...


    I am selective what I put on FB. I updated when we went on holiday to the lakes earlier in the year, but I would never dream of doing it when I'm abroad - too much relaxing to be done!


    Hope work is a little better for you today.

    Thanks MCI, work was actually worse, the only good bit was skiving off in the sunshine for a wee while ;)

    I had a good chance to think and have decided to start the process of decluttering my electronic self. FB will be the first to go, I've already started that process. Next will probably be any forums where my anonymity is at risk!

    It feels quite empowering to be cleaning up, need to get rid of some of the psychic detritus of t'internet :)
  • If you declutter MSE, can't you just rejoin with a new name and let your regular posters know?

    We'd all miss you x x x x x
