GR always comes first, but when things get slow I like to go on FB, play scrabble or something...

Hate 'em both.

Purely, you understand, because of the format!

I'm used to proper boards, where threads are threaded, posts are numbered, ...

1. Hi (Jimmy Bob)
. . 2. Hi back (Bobby Jim)
. . . . 3. How ya doing? (Bobbi Lou)
. . . . 6. How's things? (Jenny Lou)
. . 4. Bye (Lousy Jim)
. . . . 5. Whaddaya mean bye? (Jenny Lou)
. . . . . . 8. Guess. (Lousy Jim)
. . . . 7. Go away, troll (Bobbi Lou)

You always know who's talking to whom, and what they're talking about. And you can move around in the thread without having to scroll through page after page you've already read, or read page after page you don't want to read to figure out what's going on ...

This place, and FB boards, are straight out of 1991.

I do indeed, TW. Head & Shoulders and watermelon soap sweet.

Even doffed the dirty sweatshirt and elastic-less trousers. Still got the matted fuzzy slippers.

re FB -- why do people use their real names there??

Goes in cycles for me........I'm really enjoying playing poker at the mo and have discovered I have my dearly loved Grandfather's talent for losing my shirt whilst gambling lol.

Just lately.........I've been a bit hacked off with the goings on here........and with some of the people .........so i've made a conscious decision to take a huge step back for a bit..........and regain perspective.

I still nip on a few times a day for a read though don't always add xx

Started off on Genes first a few years ago (Bev from Denton) then got hooked onto facebook till I got quite a few weird messages. Too much personal information given out on FB even if privacy is requested! My email addy was on show for all to see at one point...!!!
So now Im back on genes even though I keep a bit of a low profile!
