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.

    • Most of the groceries shops in Lordship Lane have a security presence…curious thing is I and another woman recently saw a shop lifter lift and not pay for a couple of packet of steaks, veg and bottle of wine..  Literally walked Pat the tills, one member of staff and security guard despite someone else going in front by a few people and mentioning person in question! I have to say, speechless and admired their bravado - I would not have the guts and knowing my luck, if I accidentally didn’t put something tru the till despite receipt would prob get stopped! Yes, worked with families, homeless and other people who were struggling for food so I do understand why they do it.. sad when you think about it, that in this day and age, all sorts of c people need assistance and help from community in general, food banks, olio etc….
    • Just not keen to have all these  things  in my body… having said  that, thinking about Covid again as need to come to London to two hospitals for poss overnight stays. 
    • And another one, number 6, has just gone passed as well!  I presume that the LTNs are blocking them from a more useful route. Or the surrounding road works. 
    • Yes, I saw an incident van too, earlier, around 3.30 - never seen one before. It did look as if it was on its way to something major.
