    Re: Preferred Messaging Service?

    It's impossible for me to avoid Facebook messenger, so I plan to stick with whatsapp as getting "too much" data is still just half of what they're already taking with FB. I was originally using it as a skype alternative but since it became MS, it became hardly workable.

    It doesn't matter when everyone is running away,and Moose don't seem to follow any discernible logic when moving from A to B,so its a proper randomised path.

    my friend passed her test and then drove into a skip. She said (and I quote) "I didn't see it". A big yellow skip with flashing lights on the corners.

    A guy I used to work with topped that. Dozy bleep overtook round a blind corner .... nailing, head-on, the marked police car coming the other way, on blues and two's. The officers were .... unamused. So was the judge.

    I still use SMS and or whatsapp. IM trying to get people to use either Telegram and Signal, but most people i chat to still use WA. Difficult to use anything else, at least for me.

    I've never used whatsapp. Never liked the terms since fb took over, nevermind the latest ones.

    He did. 3 years, IIRC, though it was a very long time ago. And yes, you're rather concise assessment of him (first word) was exactly right.

    Still, I suppose he can consider himself lucky to only get banned. Had it been a 40-ton lorry coming the other way instead of a police car, he'd have been a smear, or splat, on the front.

    I used to use WhatsApp, but then how did I find out how actively they merge all the information. I don't write anything like that, but I still want normal, healthy privacy.
