This is something about FB I will never get my head around, on FB as friends but wouldn't touch them with a barge pole in rl

If I had a nice car and job so I could brag.

Wouldn't go otherwise, unpleasant people.

It's not that I 'wouldn't touch them with a barge pole' I would more than likely just say hello to the biggest majority of them and leave it at that iykwim.

My son has school friends on FB that he never spoke to or ever will speak to, I just can't understand it

[reece(:]

I would, I think it'd be nice.

I think it's nosiness with a lot of people, there people I know of from years ago that went to other schools and just people I wouldn't have class as friends or even aquaintances that have tried to add me on there, I just ignore them.

FB Creepers I think.

If other friends were going then yes but I hated pretty much the majority of the people in my year and was glad to never have to see them again.

I get what you mean Josy. It was actually because of lily that, a few years ago now, I started getting serious with my Facebook friends list and culling people from school who I was never going to willingly see again, because what's the point? I'd never really thought about it until then but it was such a good point. I went to school with plenty of nice people who I'd say hi to in the street... but that's all. I wouldn't tell them what I'm getting up to or talk about my personal life with them in any way, so why give them access to that? Facebook is for friends. Not for people who you knew in another life and that's where they stayed. I'm quite stringent with my Facebook friends list - I've had loads of TiBBers on there at one point but had a clear out so I could start from scratch - I'm sure I'd re-add people if they wanted to be FB friends because I speak to some of you guys more than I speak to people I know from elsewhere.

And yeah, at least by not having these people on fb it would make a school reunion seem somewhat appealing. It's not really the same if you know exactly who everyone went on to marry, work for, how much their appearance has changed etc...

I dunno...it would be really awkward I would think. I would have to get totally bladdered

[lily.]

There's no way in hell I would go to one of these things.

The people I actually liked from school I could count on one hand for a start.

As for the Facebook thing.. I've been on and off Facebook for the last few years.. I'm currently back off it... I can't stand the insincerity, the vanity and the tedious status updates. Plus, all the people I wouldn't want to see at a reunion started adding me. There's a reason I didn't keep in touch with them... I don't want to talk to them.

We have one coming up next month, I'm definitely up for it.
It'd be nice for the catch up and trip down memory lane.

[LaLaLand]

Only if people I was still in touch with went. I'd definitely not go "on my own".

[Fetch The Bolt Cutters]

no
