But you can still be contacted by people who want to contact you.

You can block them.

And then they say to the rest of Farcebook....?

( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Mon 2 Jun 2014, 19:49, Reply)

They can say what they like, if you're not friends with someone then they can't tag you in a post so you can't be identified.
But then, if they know your personal details and employment I suppose there is a minor chance they could open a smear campaign against you.

Ive not upset anyone enough tohave them smear me hopefully...

(DBT became a fruitarian on, Mon 2 Jun 2014, 19:56, Reply)

It's not a smear campaign that worries me
Professionally I'd be friends with x and y

I'd also be friends with A and B who are nutters from my old life. X and Y might find the days I spent with A and B somewhat hair-raising.

As sub-thread start
I've got a fairly distinctive real name too, so best not.

I don't think I'm missing much.

Depends on what you want to do with it, really.
A lot of former posters on here are on FB and the threads get a bit OT-esque at times.

I went to a wedding a year or so ago and people I'd not seen for ages asked why I wasn't on FB
So I signed up and thought it was a big waste of time.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Mon 2 Jun 2014, 20:30, Reply)

I signed up after my ex-wife's funeral
as there were a lot of old friends and family there that I quite missed.

Yeah, but you don't have to respond to them
and if you're locked down they can't see anything anyway. That said, some people are incredibly dim when it comes to this... the missus has a colleague who has never put a full week in since she started in September, and her FB account is completely open. A few months ago she posted one of those neknominate videos and then didn't go into work the next day. Ditto the number of pissed up nights out she's had on a Sunday and not turned in on Monday, but has updated her FB page to notify all and sundry how trolleyed she'd got the night before.

How she hasn't been sacked yet is a mystery.

Shocking. Absolutely shocking. This is day two of my hangover following heavey drinking on Friday and Saturday.
How are you son?
( Fucking hell Jeff I am not a robot, Mon 2 Jun 2014, 19:57, Reply)

Not bad.
Was nearly late for work this morning as I had one of those 'waking dreams' in which I was convinced I was up and about drinking coffee and getting ready for work. Then the missus nudged me in the ribs and said "It's 8.15".

On the plus side it sounds like I could have a bit more work coming up where I am.

I can't remember the last time I had a 2 day hangover.

But if I could, I'm sure it would have been the best hangover in the world.

I think this is full on alcohol poisoning.
Good news about work.

It's pretty mundane, to be honest
but the days pass quickly and it's a job. And I don't bring it home with me. Plus I'm working in a psychiatric hospital and some of the patients are a hoot. Not in a point and laugh way, they're just... pragmatic.

Your time on B3ta over the years will have prepared you well for a psychiatric hospital.
