phoebejo Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Gold coin for what? Pirates find gold coins on beaches or from pillaging. Tis fun, when the damn thing is bloody working It was broke last night, maybe we all pillaged too much during the day and broke it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoebejo Posted July 19, 2007 Report Share Posted July 19, 2007 Just read this on the Sun website: By CAROLINE IGGULDENWho has 70 'friends' July 19, 2007 COMMENT ON THIS STORY SPENDING too much time on Facebook, 12.31pm. Editor agrees, 12.45pm. Editor pokes Caroline, 12.50pm. Caroline starts feature on Facebook. If this introduction makes no sense to you then you obviously haven’t signed up to the Facebook phenomenon. The social networking website has exploded in popularity since it was launched worldwide at the end of 2006 — and there are now more than 30million users. Easier to get hooked on than the most addictive drug, it relentlessly updates with your friends’ comments or new photos — and for fans there’s just no way of leaving the site. But while Facebook is addictive, it is fraught with potential pitfalls — as a group of Oxford University students have just found out to their cost. Following rowdy post-exam celebrations, staff began trawling Facebook profiles for photographic evidence of the bad behaviour. The uni claimed they had acted fairly because the photos were on a public site. And in yesterday’s Sun, we told how Chris Dreyfus — one of the cops in charge of guarding the Queen — had posed in his uniform on Facebook and boasted about his gay lifestyle. But if your faith in the site is fading, do not fear. Here we tell you how to avoid a Facebook faux-pas. THE BOSS THE most dreaded request to join your “friends†(fellow users who you’ve accepted into your mini-social network) will probably be one sent by your boss. To add or not to add, that is the question? If you don’t, it might seem like a cyber-snub. But if you do they will find out all about your boozy nights out. The best thing to do is to ignore it. If they ask you about it, claim you are working so hard you haven’t had time to check your profile. THE JOB INTERVIEW BE aware that up to a fifth of employers use social networking sites to vet potential recruits. Brad Karsh, a US consultant, turned down a job applicant after reading on Facebook that his interests were “smokin’ blunts with the homiesâ€. If you are looking for work, make sure you ditch incriminating pictures and clean up your site profile asap! THE PARTNER YOUR missus has seen those pictures of you on Dave’s stag night in Latvia. She demands to know why there are shots of you with your face buried in the cleavage of a busty blonde. In this instance, just tell your other half that Dave is always digitally doctoring photos for a laugh. Surely she’ll buy that . . . BUSTED ON FACEBOOK ANY fan will have experienced the “Facebook flushâ€. This describes the shade of pink your cheeks turn when your realise your boss is watching you tap away while logged on to the site. This can be serious — there have been several cases of workers who have been fired over the amount of time they spend on Facebook. The best way to avoid this is to restrict your habit to the evenings — but this is easier said than done. YOU JUST CAN’T STOP USERS have been known to become full-blown Facebook fanatics within days of signing up. Symptoms include checking your profile every ten minutes for updates on your “wall†(online message board shared with friends), monitoring your number of friends and constantly “poking†others (giving a friend a virtual nudge to get their attention). Like any addiction, the only cure is cold turkey — ban yourself from the site or book an emergency holiday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
