More coming soon! :-)
There cannot possibly ever be a blog post funnier than this. I have snorted hot coffee all over my keypad, thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Gemi! Glad you liked it (sorry about your keypad, though...;)
ReplyDeleteLove it!
ReplyDeleteJe suis mort de rire ! (x,x)
ReplyDeleteAwesome!! Brilliant!! If only Facebook had an awards ceremony, you would certainly win a trophy. My faves:
ReplyDelete"Thomas of Lancaster and Roger Mortimer joined the groups I like doing it with girls and Unequivocally heterosexual men get together to enjoy being unequivocally heterosexual together in an unequivocally heterosexual way."
Also loved Isabella joining the group Does my crown make me look fat, and Guy of Warwick's grouchy manners.
Delightful! Is it safe to say that you are a little bit addicted to facebook yourself?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan!
ReplyDeleteMerci, mon cher roi, mais je suis desolée que vous êtes maintenant mort. :)
Christy: thanks, and glad you liked it!
Alison: thanks! Hmmm, I don't think I spend that much time on FB, really - my ideas mostly came from friends' updates that appear on my page, and I think it's the same for Rachel.
That was HILARIOUS. Thanks Rachel and Kathryn - you made my day. My fave of all was that Roger Mortimer joined the group "I love Roger Mortimer" (or something like that) and asked several hundred people to join his group. I laughed so hard I disgraced myself! I appreciate it. Thanks! Too much info .....sorry x x heheheheheh
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate! That Roger bit was Rachel's idea (I love it too!) Did you notice that Piers calls Roger 'Wodge' - I nicked that from you, hehe. :-) Don't worry about the TMI, it's funny. :) x
ReplyDeleteSo hilarious, Alienor.
ReplyDeleteLove it.
Well... "Piers Gaveston is no longer online." is slightly...sad.
ROFLOL
ReplyDeleteThough it makes Facebook look even scarier than I thought. I'm not a public persona in that online socialising way. ;)
Eh bien, j'étais mort, déjà. ;P
ReplyDeleteCan you friend-lock posts on FB? Because I doubt Arminius would want Varus to see the posts about that meeting in the Teutoburg Forest. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Ashmodai! I was really sad about that bit too, and wanted to have Ed respond to it, but there was no way of keeping it light-hearted and funny! :(
ReplyDeleteLouis: :-) :-)
Gabriele: yes, I remember you saying before that you hate Facebook - for sure, it's not for everyone. I'm not sure about friend-locking, but you can alter your privacy settings.
'Piers Gaveston is no longer online'
ReplyDeleteAwwww. There's something rather sad about that, amongst all the hilarity.
Thanks, Carla. I kind of wish I hadn't had to write that bit (might have to contemplate The Ghost Of Piers returning in the next one...;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, CelticLady!
ReplyDeleteEdward updated his relationship status to "it's complicated".
ReplyDeleteLOL! Edward's relationship: Am married to Isabella but in love with Piers and, oh, have just made a woman pregnant. :-)
ReplyDeleteHm. I notice he actually is on facebook now. Clearly Lady D needs to make a Hugh Despenser. -ponders making an Isabella-
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT! I LOVE IT! I LOVE IT!
ReplyDeleteCeirseach, that's a great idea!
ReplyDeleteAnerje: hehe, I thought you'd appreciate the Piers groups. :-) Hope Piers' final entry doesn't make you too sad, though! :(

Hi Jayne, thank you! So glad you liked the post! :) It was such fun to write ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm avoided Facebook and the Twittiocracy because of trolling and the like for the longest time but maybe even an oldster like me should try and get her head around it. I mean if people who have been dead for centuries can do it I should also be able to do it.
