#1012 a night spent tagging (not shagging) on Facebook

Dear Mariann, I made a getting smashed at Uni group and me mates put pics. My tutor somehow found them and she says it is not appropriate and that we are all being sexist. I think she does not like men. Does she have any right to report me to the Dean? From Shaggy in [...]

#1011 old damp fur coat

Dear Mariann, I have unfriended Adam Werritty but he keeps poking me and hanging about like an old damp fur coat. How do I get him to shove off? From Foxy (old) in reply to post #1010 Facebook ID. It’s an ID card stupid. I’ve had similar issues with a recurring Werritt to my fox. [...]

#1010 Facebook ID. It’s an ID card stupid

Dear Mariann, Facebook have filed for a trademark patent for Facebook Business Cards and a non-magnetically encoded ID Cards. What’s this? From The Future of Facebook like 50-days in the future (and maybe TechCrunch) Oh, so you’re surprised by this are you? More fool you. Here’s my conundrum; it is YOU who signed up to [...]

#1007 a rather belligerent looking individual

Dear Mariann [two in one here] What makes Facebook get to decide what my friends’ top news is? I don’t like this top news feed. I wish they would just leave facebook alone. From Anonymous. Dear Mariann I hate how FB has messed with the look of my page and my data – be nice [...]

#1004 is this where I put questions?

Dear Mariann, Found you on the radio and here is my dilemma. I’m not your average Facebook person as I’m in my 40s. I got involved with this bloke at work who turned out to be a complete lair (liar I assume) and bad news (I’m separated and no going back – except still sleeping [...]

Dear Mariann, I have had a recent friend request that has left me a bit perturbed. A long time ago ex-boyfriend’s mother communicated that we should be friends. At the time when I was dating her son/s we never spoke. So what next? From Ms ALright via email. This is a deceptively simple dilemma. First [...]

#1000 muck

Dear Mariann, Love the site and know it is less serious in tone but I have a serious question. Since the riots in London and I had realised how public my Facebook activities were. What worries me is that it is easy to think you are in a conversation with friends and on such occasions [...]
