I think it is this way and we will only know when Frankiesays returns
Frankie logged onto his FB and saw Mandela's page
Mentioned that he did not know FC's settings but could see it OK (on his FB)

Or is it best to start again and not be so confused with twitter and FB or bebo or whatever it is that display so much info

Oh dear,my original posting I thought was funny,it seems it has caused a great deal of discussion,of course there are those who like to post and let the world know that they are having a great life - or they want us all to believe they are and there are those who use the FB to communicate with friends and exercise the controls that are available ie, restricted to friends only. I recognize that FB can be a powerful facility if used in the correct way.

I noticed Google's daily 'whatever-you-call-it' today refers to the '70th Anniversary of La Tomatina'.

Anybody fancy a tomato fight? :lol:

MALE Date Drug

Post by nikkai » Wed Aug 26, 2015 4:50 pm

Male Date-Drug


Police are warning all men who frequent clubs, parties & local pubs to be alert and stay cautious when offered a drink by any woman.

Many females use a date-drug on the market called 'Beer' .

The drug is found in liquid form and is available anywhere. It comes in bottles, cans, or from taps and in large kegs.

Beer is used by female sexual predators at parties and bars to persuade their male victims to go home and sleep with them.

A woman needs only to get a guy to consume a few units of Beer and then simply ask him home for no-strings-attached sex.

Men are rendered helpless against this approach. After several Beers, men will often succumb to the desires to sleep with horrific looking women to whom they would never normally be attracted.

After drinking Beer, men often awaken with only hazy memories of exactly what happened to them the night before, often with just a vague feeling that 'something bad' occurred.

At other times these unfortunate men are swindled out of their life's savings, in a familiar scam known as 'a relationship'.. In extreme cases, the female may even be shrewd enough to entrap the unsuspecting male into a longer-term form of servitude and punishment referred to as 'marriage'.
Men are much more susceptible to this scam after Beer is administered and sex is offered by the predatory females.

Please forward this warning to every male you know

If you fall victim to this 'Beer' scam and the women administering it, there are male support groups where you can discuss the details of your shocking encounter with similarly victimized men.

For the support group nearest you, just look up 'Golf Courses' in the phone book.

My New Car

Post by nikkai » Wed Aug 26, 2015 4:56 pm

I bought a new Honda CR-V SE Auto
And returned to the dealer only a day after picking it up because I couldn't get the radio to work.
The salesman explained that the radio was voice activated.

'Nelson,' the salesman said to the radio.

The radio replied, 'Ricky or Willie?'

'Willie!' he continued and 'On The Road Again'
Came from the speakers.

Then he said, 'Ray Charles!', and in an instant
' Georgia On My Mind' replaced Willie Nelson.
I drove away happy, and for the next few days,
Every time I'd say, 'Beethoven,'
I'd get beautiful classical music, and if I said,
'Beatles,' I'd get one of their awesome songs.

Yesterday, some guy ran a red light
And nearly creamed my new motor,
But I swerved in time to avoid him.

I yelled, 'A### Hole!'
Immediately the radio responded with,
"Ladies and gentlemen,
The Prime Minister"

Damn I love this motor...

One for the doggy people

Post by nikkai » Wed Aug 26, 2015 5:00 pm

A little girl asks her mum, 'Mum, can I take the dog for a walk around the block?' Her mum replies 'No, because she is on heat.' 'What does that mean?' asked the child. 'Go and ask your father. I think he's in the garage.' The little girl goes out to the garage and says, 'Dad, can I take Lulu for a walk around the block? I asked Mum, but she said the dog was on the heat, and to come ask you.' ... He took a rag, soaked it in petrol, and scrubbed the dog's backside with it to disguise the scent, and said 'Ok, you can go now, but keep Lulu on the leash and only go one time around the block The little girl left and returned a few minutes later with no dog on the leash.. Surprised, Dad asked, 'Where's Lulu?'


You'll love this!!!!!!!!!)...............










The little girl said, 'She ran out of petrol about halfway round the block, so another dog is pushing her home.
