ANYONE WHO USES Facebook’s On This Day feature knows that it’s a mixed bag.
Sometimes it reminds you of that gas time your friend pushed you around in an abandoned trolley while you were absolutely plastered.
Other times, it reminds you of an unbelievably boring status you posted back in 2012.
But the worst thing Facebook Memories is guilty of is reminding you of your stupid ex.
howie mandel hater / Twitter"we at facebook thought it would be nice to share memories of the 2-year relationship you had with your ex. so are you seeing anyone new?"

Can you not, Facebook?
What makes you think we want to see a photo of our ex at a barbecue in 2012?
Catalina / TwitterFacebook memories from the past function really needs to stop I do not want to re-live these photos w ex lol bye
— Catalina (@catalinaaaaz) October 3, 2015
We can all agree that it’s a total nightmare.
tina bean / TwitterI hate Facebook for doing those memories because I hate seeing me and my ex be all lovey dovey 😑😑

But finally, Facebook has come up with a way to ensure that your Facebook Memories will never include photos of your ex.
People can now use filters to ensure that they’re not reminded of certain people or dates on Facebook.

No comments allowed on DOB article, so, what a fcuking arrogant c unt he is. It’s me behind the conspiracy, BTW.
I wonder is that why he pulled the Digicel IPO?
Someone had dirt on him.
He shot himself in the foot last week just before the launch. Threatening to block VIOP and advertisemnents on Facebook and Google using a program called ‘Shine’. He felt that because he owns the network in the Caribbean and google and Facebook were making revenue from advertisements by piggy backing on his network…he wanted them to pay him a portion of their ad revenue.
The prospective investors looked at this and got cold feet as investing in a network that was about to take on Google and Facebook would eat money should a court case ensue and the fear that customers would drop the network. If Facebook or Google decided to teach Denis a lesson as to how attractive a network without Google or Facebook is to customers….well you can imagine how interest and inquiries prior to the float of Digicel suddenly died down after Denis started acting gung ho with two of the worlds biggest companies.
Denis is too used to getting his way in Ireland to realise he’s not that big a fish in America.

yes indeed… DOB looks at others like its all their fault…new site coming soon and no comments blocked :-)
It’s a pity you can’t filter out the annoying sheeites you work and see in real life. Oh, you can….WINE, how silly I forgot. Off to the fridge now.
It would be great if the rest of us could have a solicitor and high court on speed dial if we thought someone was about to say something awful about us..
So bored of his winging at this stage,
declan , its hardly a shock now is it ?
Here’s another solution… grow up and stop using facebook, you’re not 15…
