    Quite why pple use their real names on social sites is really beyond me.



    Hmm, I just checked, and all my facebook friends (including those on here) use their real name... except you! LOL :P

    I'm happy if people prefer to use an alias, but on the other hand... it has been fantastic getting in touch with old friends.. which would have been impossible if they (or I) hadn't used our actual names.

    EDIT: just spotted 'Jemmy Jem' on FB.. I'm guessing that's her pseudonym! Actually, has Jem been on the new board? I can't remember...

  • I was well anoyed when they wouldnt let moi have That Hurt. But they let Sadbast have Sad Bast.
  • So they do restrict names they think might be made up?

    Surprised this guy got through!

  • Ha ha ha. Yes they have a filter and your name change application comes back "we dont believe thats a real name". Im still mildly annoyed about it. This is the only online name ive ever had and im not changing it. Hufff.

    The curse of facebook eh.



    Well , more the Curse of the Eejit Using Facebook


    I'll admit it, I was making a general throw away snipe at facebook type comment, but yeah unfortunately people only have their own stupidity to blame.


    Sorry, I wasn't being a.retentive about it, I'd written that comment to say the words "natural selection" written around a made up turn of phrase as the punchline but damned if I could remember them haha
    Thanks Ping, it was driving me mad :)

  • Hells, I'm trying to remember now, where I read who your employer was. Pretty sure it was on-line somewhere...

    EDIT: Ah, it is in fact on your Facebook profile.



    When I first went on FB I actually set myself up to state work place as Ministry of Defence. No joke, some of my friends even some people I work with actually believed it. Is it me but if Im standing there right next to you talking and working with you how the hell can I be at the MOD. What am I, bloody time traveller? 
    I only changed back to proper workplace as have a handful of people on there from work who dont necessarily understand my sense of humour 
    :(
  • ^ Maybe they thought you were undercover! MI5 masquerading as HR. Special Agent Bells!

    (sorry for blowing your cover) :P

  • Bewildered. Get to work and think strange, nobody in yet? Erm yes they were but were all sitting in the dark like a bunch of bloody mushrooms! Seriously some people make me feel intelligent :-B

    lmao! That's funny. Though alarming. Nobody thought to put lights on? What about heating? It's bloody freezing lately.
  • When I was in hospital recently, we had a morning when the nurses didnt come into the bay till about 10 am. But the breakfast lady came round at 7.15 - so all us patients ate our breakfast in the dark.

    Come to think of it, the "orange juice" tasted a bit funny that morning
  • ^ Breakfast in the dark?! I mean honestly, how many nurses does it take to screw in a lightbulb? (None, they just have a nursing student do it)

    How are you mending whisperit? Any attractive nurses at least?

    Hmmm, how am I feeling today? Glad you asked...like life's a bit of a crapshoot. Yes, I've realized it before..but feeling that way again. You can try to plan, but you can be thrown a curve at any time. So maybe I should say "Life is going with the curves" ....I'm just going with the curves today.

    Heating?? Your having a laugh. It's not allowed to be turned on until its REALLY cold! Or we die :-?

    Hello PG, and thank you for asking.

    Im out of hospital now, and doing intensive home study for the Texan bar. (after I finish watching 7 series of "The People's Court", I get a Diploma in Jurisprudence Studies  from Del Mar Heights College, apparently. At least, that's what I'm telling everyone).

    No nurses, but the postie does a good line in heavy duty painkillers. I'm thinking of asking her for some physical therapy too....

    Are those curves of yours metaphors? Or do they belong to someone?

    There`s a minimum temperature of 13C (or 16C if you do the YMCA dance for a living or physical work) in the workplace , we strictly enforce it as any accidents that take place (even if the employee fell over their own fat feet) would give a lawyer a field day . You won`t be glad to know there`s no legal maximum , so they can make you sweat your hooties off , they just have to provide liquid replenishment as I recall .


    If you do die , I must request you do it in a corner , so you don`t become a trip hazard , Health and Safety , you know the score ;)
