I have agreed to Chair a campaign group fighting property developers who want to build on a local environmental and wildlife conservation area. This has required me joining Facebook (aaargh!). I am already getting messages from people of whom I have never heard who want to be my "Friends". Now I am told I have to be on Twitter as well. Soon I'll be photographing what I had for dinner last night and asking people if I can borrow their fluffy kittens for cutesy pictures. Anything else I should know? Should I be ganging up on folk and bullying them; or selling p0rnography; stuff like that? I want to fit in, of course.

You will need to rake out old embarrassing photographs of your family and post them. :)

Make sure you take part in all the quizzes that you get invited to take part in, and publish the results on your page, and invite all your "friends" to take part.
Invite as many of your "friends" as possible to play Candy Crush, Bubblewitch Saga and Pet Rescue.
Join the "I hate The Eagles" page.
DON'T rake out any old and embarassing photographs of Highlander. Facebook is already awash with them.

I am like you Colwyn, knew nothing of Facebook until I was invited to join in and help the fight for the Dolphins kept at Hisaronu. I joined up and although there are negatives, I quite like the chat and images of friends and family and have joined things like BBC News which brings updates and news flashes and some interesting articles.

Thank you, these comments are most helpful. Now I have a question. So far I have just been deleting requests ti be "Friends". But what happens then? Do these people get a message saying "Colwyn doesn't want to be friends with you"? I don't really want to be rude - some of these people are my neighbours or family.
-
No need to worry Colwyn, they just get a message that says " Colwyn thinks you're a *****, now **** off and get a life".
-
Depends how well you get on with your friends and family. !!!

Now what have The Eagles ever done to you ?? ;-)

It would seem that you will need to post "Selfies" Most of my FB friends seem to do this a lot. Myself.....I have resisted the urge. No selfie stick in this house.

You can get one very cheaply on Ebay, via your facebook page , of course !!

Buy half a dozen rare newts and lizards and a couple of bats, then supply photographic evidence
of where they have been " spotted ". That should bring things to a halt and buy you lots of time to organise.
Developers use underhand methods, do the same.

Well, so far the school and developers seem to have made a blundering start. They have cleared the land using a tractor and in doing so trashed a badger sett which we believe to be active having taken expert advice from the Badger Trust. Since this is breeding season they required a licence to clear land in the vicinity of a sett and we have established that they did not apply for one. If so that is a crime and we filed charges with the police who are investigating. It is also illegal to clear land that is habitat to slow worms and there are (perhaps were) loads of them. It seems they cleared the land first and then had a quick, walk-through survey after that had been done. We have another half a dozen problems we are still exploring. They want to tarmac over a public footpath - not possible without special permission (Bristol Ramblers are on the case). They plan to fell trees that have a preservation order on them - possible, but not without specific permit. Our hydrologist tells us the drainage plans are wholly inadequate considering the land is adjacent to a registered Functional Flood Plain. So we are building up a decent portfolio of barriers to building. I think these people are going to wish they never started. That, anyway, is our aim. As to your newts, Kevin, our ecologist tells us that, if they are in area, this is exactly the sort of habitat that is home to Great Crested Newts. We will be looking out for them.

This is better than the SAVE (Save Am Vale Environment) campaign on the Archers. I don't quite see you Colwyn as a David Archer - now back in the campaign against route B - but I could see you as Jim Lloyd or perhaps on a bad day as David Archer sidekick Bert Fry. I would of course play the role of Eddie Grundy, with perhaps Gordon as my father Joe Grundy ;D ;D ;D ;D
Any other suggestions for CBF characters as Archers characters????

On the substantive point of this thread, I must express my disappointment, and indeed sadness, that you have joined the common herd and opened an FB account, and more worryingly have started to use it. I remain implacably opposed to this modern day Leviathan, and whilst the numbers around me may be dwindling on a daily basis, we stand shoulder to shoulder in not only not using it, but positively discouraging its use.
I must get a letter off to report Colwyn's actions to the Ancient Order of Druids...... now where did I leave my quill pen??

UBT, I'll have to ask Hilary about these suggested personae; she is the Archers addict. Now I'll get on with my battle against those who "own" my valley, and the Colston School and a great deal more in Bristol - the Merchant Venturers (the remnants of the age of slave traders; such as Edward Colston, benefactor of the private school that bears his name) who are also known as The Bristol Mafia. We might meet at the local pub - The Merchants' Arms - that is owned by ... guess who?.

As to the insidious technology it is going to be worse. Not only have I discovered that one of my neighbours is an ecologist and another an hydrologist, but also one is a professional "Social Media Consultant" for corporate clients and another a "Webpage Designer". It seems we will be state of the art on FB and Twitter and in next to no time have our own webpage. Rah! Rah! Down with the Merchant Venturers!

Colwyn, your spelling leaves an awful lot to be desired in Facebook world, your words are far too long and you use Punctuation! Sorry mate you will be a figure of fun in no time and it will all end in tears.

Yes but only if you spell it correctly...tut tut must do better (paper marked by Old Skool Tickets 4/10)

Soon I'll be doing horrendous things such as finishing a sentence with a preposition if this keeps up. Arghh! I've done it! Oh, wait a minute. It is part of a compound verb (to keep up) so that is allowed. I still don't like it.

When asking a question you MUST begin it with TIA.

What! I've had a TIA. It destroyed 15% of vision in my right eye. I don't want to go starting questions with them.

And Colwyn, every 3rd word in a sentence should be 'like'. 8)
-
The bonus is you will make lots of friends!
I was once like your good self and kept a small circle of good friends, I now have 4,658 and I've even met some of them.
