To me, that reads like she took up smoking a year ago and is proud of it!

Saw a similar one before,

"So proud off myself 3 months of the smokes"

My Dad is always doing this and I've tried explaining to him how irritating that is for people on his timeline but he doesn't get it.
He also puts up pics of his holidays which he ALREADY put up before.

He also puts those quotes and poems up.
I wish he wasn't on FB or that the novelty would have worn off by now.

Change the settings on his account when he isn't paying attention.

Set all of his updates to "only me".

I doubt he'll even notice.

While that's a great suggestion, a lot of folk, especially those around our parents age are actually mad for "likes", in the sense they don't want to go viral but they do definitely track how popular a picture is and so on.

It could end up as comedy gold for this thread, they won't know no one else can't see it and will be fighting with 'aunty mary', 'cousin billy' cause they aren't liking their photos

Ha ha that's a great shout. Or they'll start vague booking about not getting acknowledged only to have their anger compounded when they don't see the usual "U Ok hun?" replies!

The "U Ok hun?" replies are a solid symbol of our intelligence as a species, please don't mock...

I had to re-read a girls status due to her using "anal" as a substitute of "and all". Throughout the entire thing I thought it was a tad bit odd for her to keep mentioning butt sex.

I know that not everyone will do this!!! May I ask my family and friends wherever you might be, to kindly copy and paste this status for one hour to give a moment of support to all those who have stubbed their toe, stepped on a plug in their bare feet or knelt on Lego just to show how passive aggressive you are and that you'll do anything for likes. Do it for all of us, for nobody is immune. Hope to see this on the walls of my family and friends just for moral support. I know some will because your lives are so empty!!! I did it for someone close to me just so I could rub it in their faces and you can too. You have to copy and paste this one, no Sharing!

I'm sticking this on my facebook page right now.

Ladies...the "I'm beautiful the way I am" challenge! I'm asking you to upload at least 5 pictures in which you feel you are absolutely beautiful (and you ARE beautiful)! Then nominate gorgeous girls to do the same. Build yourself up, not down!! Let's see all that beauty!!

It's probably just Orla but he got the spelling wrong.

I guess there are elements of truth in what he/she says, there are vast chunks of what we do in school that is largely pointless and there are whole areas and skillsets that are ignored that would be hugely beneficial. To say secondary school is a complete waste of time is a bit mad though :pac:

In my personal opinion, those things are supposed to be taught by your parents.

A lad I know changed his profile picture 7 times yesterday.

Saying that it is once or twice most days. I've had the same one for years

I assume people who change their profile pics frequently have some unhappiness in their lives and are seeking validation. One attractive friend does it constantly, my other gauche friends say "isn't she beautiful, she's always smiling". I'm the cynic wondering why the craving for attention and likes.

Same here.
First time i had to talk to an Aoife i went around asking how to pronounce that as i didnt want to come up with some pronunciation that might be turning into an insult.
I then met a non-Irish couple who got a kid here, gave it an very Irish name and moved to the continent.

I disagree. I want to stay in now. I don't want to go out to the pub and drink the night away with friends who were really more drinking buddies with whom I had good craic rather than people with whom I shared interests and opinions. I now stay in touch with people I have met and where we share, say, a love of trail running, I can now arrange to meet them through Facebook and I see it as a medium that has enhanced my life. I don't think it inhibits getting a life at all, I think it has enhanced it.

All that said, most of the stuff on it is dross. Just as was most of the stuff I would hear in the pub.

I don't have facebook... but a forum is a social media site. And unlike Boards, you can restrict what and who can see any of the information you put up.

Both have good points alright but conor you do highlight a major flaw in Irish mentality regarding socialising. There are other and possibly better ways to socialise other than the pub. Social media is actually anti social in nature. I've been informed recently that it's starting to appear in research that some that spend a lot of time on social media sites are showing signs of unhappiness or even development of mental health problems. I do see some of its benefits but can also see it's downfall. A lot of people spending too much time on it. It's not good for their development particularly young people. I do think it's riff with bullying. It must be tough on young people

I agree with the bullying thing and consider myself lucky to have been young long before mobile phone and social media.

But I think spending a lot if time at anything can be a negative thing, from golf to pub to Facebook. I don't think social media is per se anti social, but it can be, it can also be a great medium for communication, for finding people I haven't seen in years and keeping in touch, for arranging to meet up with people with shared interests and so on.

And it can also provide some dumb and great status updates...

BE AWARE. SUNBEDS, SUN, DOES LEAVE PERMANENT DAMAGE!!
