you wouldn't be the first person to have written on a web site to find that it has been seen as offensive and disciplined over it. Better to just say it, at least you have a chance of arguing what was actually said. Better to be retired and officially regarded as a grumpy ole' git  I too have been disciplined over such things... mainly posting pictures! |

Well mate I think well have to both agree and disagree!
I think I'm just a bit of a grumpy old git and a luddite to boot. I still think carrier pigeons are a pretty neat idea!!
Oh, I don't know - I just seem to rail against "progress". For instance Le Village at Le Mans irritates me as it's so bland and corporate. Diesels at Le Mans irritate me. Toss pots on stag weekends at Le Mans irritate me. People on trains talking loudly on mobile phones, people driving in the middle lane, Radio 1, Sky TV, computers, call centres, British Telecom, Gas companies selling electricity, Electricity companies selling gas, health and safety nazis, bad manners, poor diction, poor spelling, texting, bad use of the English language, and teenagers. These all irritate me to death. You lot may all laugh at me but I spend my life being irritated by just about everything.
Apparently I'm very difficult to live with.
Can you believe that?
Can we please go back to civility, decent manners, Le Village full of either dust or mud, Group C cars, etc etc.
Sorry folks, I just don't like what's happening and I'm going to get a beer to make me feel better.
Steve
Oops! Had to modify this as hit the wrong button and posted a quote with a blank reply! Think that shows I shouldn't be allowed on fakeboob (but I am!). But hurrah to His Lordship for the soap box moment, couldn't agree more and it made me jolly well chortle to boot! Onward and upward old chap, stiff upper and all that. Isn't it time for a G&T? See you up the Khyber for some tiffin and some light (ale) refreshment? Yours empirically, B'stard of Bedfordshire |

.... I also pictured you at Le mans wearing a washed-out Rothmans Porsche rain cheater, and a pair of too-tight cotton sports shorts, the end of your todger just dangling out from the left-hand leg and winking at all and sundry....
Were you there in 1982 Andy?? That was my dad on the terraces opposite the pits about 3am in the morning!! |

As Rob and Paddy have said, I think that both are valid but have different uses. Although I don't post much at the moment I check in here every day to see what's happening. I also use FB daily as my friends and family are spreadout around the world and it's far easier to post one pic of the kids horse-riding or riding motocross or just being crazy kids and letting the family get in touch and say 'hey, can I have a good copy of xyz pics pls' than phoning them all up and asking if they want them etc..
That said, it's no substitute for the old fashioned phone call either, but it is very useful.
I'd hate to think just how dis-jointed something like a CA thread would get on Facebook though (when you consider how easily we go off topic here!), it's just not built for that and a forum is still the ideal vehicle.
Right, that's enough boll**ks from me, I'm off for another beer before I run the risk of saying something that could constititute making a serious comment !!!

I have no problem with Facebook, it's a useful tool even though I agree it seems a waste of wonderful technology for people to use it to tell the world they've been to the lavatory.
or the dentist Mr Z?!!! |

Interesting that she said that she hadn't been laid for ages but her relationship box on the left says that she's Engaged. Either she's playing away (from someone she wasn't getting any from ) or it was a damn quick courtship. |
