i have merged them into one "spacebook", but i think it makes it sound to exciting.


the things is, as this article points out, once you've signed up they never actually shut your account, all your details are kept live and can be viewed by 'interested' parties. a friend went back after leaving and couldn't believe that his account remained in tact and they automatically mailed all his buddies to let them know he was back.

I'm seriously debating deleting my account. I blame MySpace and Facebook (especially FB) for my increasing lack of productivity and a complete mental block I've developed about using the phone. My abject fear of awkward silences has spiralled out of control and now I barely phone anyone. It's ridiculous! And a little disturbing as it's so irrational and stupid

I find it all too banal really.

Also if the only contact a friend has with me is to poke me, zombie bite me, or send me a fish, then they are not a real friends. If we cant just bloody meet up and catch up in person then bugger off I say! I only use it to share photos of big nights out or festivals etc and even that bores me.

I re-hooked up with an old friend of mine from when I lived in Canada as a kid. We had written to eachother until I was about 22 and then lost touch, so I'm happy Facebook exists. Also people I know from other areas that I don't see much anymore. I like knowing what they are up to without having to call them.

for many, its virtual bling for one dimensional pram dodgers ( those whithout kids yet )


show everyone how lovely you are/ how many holidays you go on/ how popular you are/ how many slebs you are friends with


its the offsping of new romantisicm / the face/ thatcher ( right kids )/ mobile phone "culture" / loadsamoney / x factor / big brother/ pete waterman / saucy weather girs on ITV without any qualifcations / etc etc etc


to be fair tho, the guardian does portray it as some kind of Bond villain conspiracy, when in reality, its just to make monety from the willing victims out there

It was a bit of a laugh for a month or two. A few comedy faces from the past crawled out of the woodwork and made it all worthwhile.


The only thing it's good for now is photo-sharing, but when the few of my friends who can be bovvered to post them stop being bovvered to post them, that'll be IT.

    • Would anyone have ends of balls of wool, any colour, to mend an old blanket? Any colour? With thanks Mila
    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
