At work it seems some of us are able to access facebook and others cannot.

Naturally I can't - so I do not spend a lot of time on mine at all. Which is probably a good thing.

As for people you forgotten all about (and for good reason) don't you just love it when you can decline their invitation to become friends. If only you could post the reasons why for all to know - now that would be entertaining. ;D

Call it a hunch but check the browser settings on the pc's that can access it, it sounds like they have proxy settings that bypass the firewall.  whistle:

Strangely I struggle to remember the names of anyone I was at school with.
It is not just a function of old age either. I forgot them the day I left and moved on. Did the same when I left the RAF. All friends and colleagues were left behind.
I'll never go on Facebook or any similar site as it would be too embarrassing to have people saying "Hi ~ remember me? We were at school together" and have to reply "No ~ sorry I don't know you from a hole in the ground".
The only people from my past whose names I can recall are those I have had sex with ~ well those whose names I ever knew that is. redface:

Not a case of power Miss D, just knowing where the internet browsers that can access these sites are pointing to.

People are too free and easy with the info they give out about themselves.

You're right. Just because they can sit there wearing just their oldest underpants (or less) typing away doesn't mean that they have privacy.

moan moan moan about facebook, is brilliant way of keeping a social network of you closest friends/family, i wouldent know half of what is going on in my family if it aint for good ole facebook, as i am away from my hometown  Angry9:

you just gota protect you privacy options in the options sections then only people that you know etc can add you

wenchy pm me an you can add me to your friends etc
must admit i have deleted people that bore me after i found out all about em up to date, and cant be bothered, i tend to keep more interesting people on my list.
Listen to the whispers of your heart, for there resides your strength of spirit and the goodness of your soul.
