    Brilliant! I love it!


    And actually quite true...some people, you just don't want to know what they're doing now (or whether they're a ninja or a pirate....)

    Similarly, there are people whom you don't want knowing what it is you're up to now!

    Brilliant song :D

    Out of the blue for me, that is scarily pertinent. Typical Thaed. You've been at the entrails again. :) My answer reflected the song, minus the melody. :D

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    Whats even worse is three months after you split she starts tagging photos of you together as a couple.

    Actually getting tagged by someone else in general should be banned by international law.

    Am I the only one who thinks that the image of Thaedydal, a totally level-headed and stern-but-fair Pagan, looking up novelty songs about Facebook on Youtube to be really out-of-character and ****ing hilarious?

    Brilliant song - however I do not see the harm with having an ex as a friend on facebook (though I do not) as long as sufficient time has passed, you have both moved on and there was a strong friendship basis to the relationship. Am friends with one ex on one network (my husband fully knows about this, they are friends separate to our history), I even went to part of his wedding.

    Completely in character for her which makes it more hilarious.:D

    Maybe I'm the bah humbug type, but if any longtermer ex of mine tried to add me on a social site, she'd be ignored. I feel the same about guys I was in school with, guys I haven't seen in many many years, who weren't mates then, so I don't really see why I want to be mates with them now. Yep I'm the bah humbug type.:D

    But oftentimes, it is too late. You've been away from Facebook too long, and the damage has been done.

    What has been seen (by all your friends, family and everyone you know) cannot be unseen.

    Set the profile to complete stealth mode. I did after I had friend requests from muppets.

    Too right! And it's hugely embarrassing when your mother comments on said photos. You can reject exs and tossers you didn't like in school, but how can you say no to your overly-nosy-but-loving mother!? :(

    Oh god, you poor thing. My Dad is on Facebook but luckily he steers clear of my page for the most part.

    Ah, one of the lucky ones! My mum checks my page every day, according to my younger brother! :o

    My dad did join Facebook, but under a fake name. He just trolled on friends' pages who kept hassling him to join, then deleted his account.

    I reckon he'd like Boards though! He was much impressed by the infamous 'Pear Bulmers' thread! :pac:

    In relation to accepting exs on Facebook, I don't think I would. If I was on good terms with them, then yes. But I think for the most part, the past should stay in the past - particularly if you're still bitter about it ;)

    Easily, I have told my other not a chance in hell and to keep away from boards too :)

    p.s. this post is written and I sit here at my desk with pigtails in and with a lollipop in my gob. :pac:

    Isn't there a setting whereby you can fix it so that the only person who gets notified about being tagged is you?

    Haha! Aww, meanie! :pac:

    I was chatting to a friend of my parents recently, having a few drinks and the topic of Facebook came up. She got quite upset telling me about how she tried to add her eldest daughter on Facebook, only to find she was denied! :(

    I would never ever accept a friend request from an ex. They are an ex for a reason. You have one chance with me, blow it and you blow everything (for life!) :mad:

    Thats brilliant,what a hero.:D

    .Ive probably deleted at least 50 "friends" from it since I signed up.People adding me that I was vaguely aquainted with 15 years ago or random people from around the world telling me how much they love the Irish.I am friends with a couple of ex's on it though however they are ex's from a long time ago that I still bump into from time to time.

    YIKES. I remember getting a call from my mum a few months ago, answered the phone and the conversation went as follows;

    Mum: Well, are you going to go?
    Me: Sorry?
    Mum: Are you going to go out for a drink with him?
    Me: What are you talking about?
    Mum: <insert name here>'s left a comment on your page, asking you to meet up because he's in Dublin! Are you going to see him again?
    Me: Ehh...
    Mum: Ah, go on! Don't be mean!

    She knew the details of my life before I did! :o

    It's even more embarrassing when she calls me up to ask who certain idiots who were in my year in school were, because they've tried to add her as a friend!

    Agreed. Although I usually like having a good relationship with my ex's. Assuming we're friends is a bit presumptuous

    Now that is a strange one.Thankfully she knows virtually none of my friends on there as most of the people that do know her dont have an account.

    My mom is on facebook and I think it's hilarious. I'm really proud of her. She's just trying to be more involved in my life and my sister's life. She posts pictures of the family pets in her albums and replies to my status updates.

    I recently got a friend request from someone who I can't even believe thought that I would add him back. He must have been dreaming. If I'd known about this song beforehand I would have sent it to him before clicking ignore.


    I also deleted someone from my friends list for posting the video of that awful song, "lips of an angel" by hinder. I hate that goddamn song. It's so cheesey. We weren't great friends in the first place anyway and all the updates on my wall were those ****ty, vaguely sexual "so and so has sucked on a lollipop" ones. So no big loss. But Hinder was what did it. Argh! HINDER! wtf.
