Re: How the mighty has fallen
Dianne it does seem that many of those members who now use Facebook no longer come on here.
After all there are only so many hours in a day and you cannot be as committed to,two,sites as you can be to one......and I know that may not apply to everyone....but most people have other responsibilities. Horses for courses.... I guess it depends what you want from a site. |

Re: How the mighty has fallen
There has never been any doubt about the validity of both groups......and it is a personal choice as to which gets the most input if you happen to belong to both groups.
Everyone uses the forum for their own needs....to get out of it what satisfies them. For me, I prefer Accyweb...and right now I only have time for one mistress(sometimes not even that). |

Re: How the mighty has fallen
I have been invited on several occasions to join Facebook but as it is of no interest to me I have always declined. However, although it is not my cup of tea I see no reason to speak against it. If it’s what others want then let them enjoy it. Several of my family are members and get a lot of enjoyment and use out of it.
For instance, when my youngest daughter was living in the UK she was able to get in touch again with many of her old school friends, get up-to-date with what they were doing and vice versa. Now she is back in Australia she is able to easily keep in touch with all the friends she made in Glasgow. It's just not for me - nor do I go on Twitter. Not interested. However, I greatly enjoy my regular drop-in to Accyweb and that’s where I’ll stay, love it! By the way, can you please enlighten us, Morecambe Ex Pat, as to how you know the team you are employing are spending so much time on Facebook if they are not working near you? Just asking. Forget the beer and ra ra – stop the pay cheques, that will get their attention quick smart. Initially you should have inserted a penalty clause in their contracts – hopefully you will have learnt from this. |
Re: How the mighty has fallen
Dotti, those are my sentiments exactly regarding Facebook.
I do not tweet or Twitter, I do not use a mobile phone much.....yes, I have one, but it is in my bag switched off until I want to phone a taxi,or a family member to pick me up from where ever I might have got to. I use what suits me.....not what a large proportion of the population use. I too have family scattered across the world, but we use email to keep in touch....and that does for me. |
Re: How the mighty has fallen
Have to say Margaret that I resisted a mobile phone for a long time. But now there are so few public phones left and this makes a person up the proverbial creek without a paddle if they need to contact someone when out and about. So, for this reason only, I succumbed.
However, I use my phone only for making and receiving calls and messages – I am not interested in all the gadgets that some people have on theirs. I also make sure I use it at the appropriate time and place. Privately!!!! They have become an obsession with so many people and it beggars belief those who cry poor but can still manage to have the latest in phones. The way some people use them I think the mobile phone has to be one of the most anti-social pieces of equipment ever invented. Sorry, I’ve wandered off thread….. |

There have been no pay checks as it is a payment on completion and this is looking increasingly less likely to be achieved. As for Hyndburn Chat, I hadn't realised that I had been banned as I have not been back, this is the first time I have ever been banned from any kind of interactive site. I am surprised that I was not contacted directly and asked to apologise for my comments which some members found offensive. I wish the group well and hope you get much enjoyment out of it, I never said I didn't actually like the group. |

Re: How the mighty has fallen
I have an Ipad and an Ipad mini...but I have never used facetime.
Maybe it isn't possible on my machines because they are wifi rather than cellular...but I don't know because I have never tried. I don't think I would use it anyway as I cannot imagine having my fizzog on someones screen. E-mail suits me just fine.......and when there is a crisis I do resort the the phone...landline that is. Dotti, like you I resisted having a mobile phone, but when I was working I would sometimes get off duty very late and my family wanted me to be able to contact them so that they knew I was safe......so even back then I only ever used it to say 'I'm setting off for home or I will be at least another hour...eat without me'. I do not feel the need to be constantly connected to the world and his wife....and my phone is for my convenience. |
Re: How the mighty has fallen
I only got a mobile so if the boss was out in the car, she could contact me if need arose, in other words i was badgered into getting one.:D I do use it, but only very rarely n texts are even rarer, its just a bog standard mobile wi no fancy gadgets, which truthfully is more than i want anyway.:D

Re: How the mighty has fallen
Although I have an iPad, most of my Internet input, including AccyWeb, is done via my phone. I wouldn't be without it.

Re: How the mighty has fallen
Hadn't heard of Facetime, not using Apple products.
Is Skype out of fashion now? I tried it a while ago and thought it quite good. |
Re: How the mighty has fallen
Back to thread- The Observer.
It might not be a good read but is still good 'lavvy paper'? As I remember the texture was better than the LET! |
Re: How the mighty has fallen
I prefer softer stuff for my BTM.
