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.

    • Not really since the first world war, and mainly in the sense then of 'getting a Blighty one' meaning a wound so serious you had to be sent home. I seriously doubt if one school child in 100 now would know what Blighty meant if the word was presented on its own with no context.

    • Why is the name a big of a red flag? Blighty is a common name for the UK whatever people might think.
    • The only election which counts is the General Election.  There is still strong resentment for fourteen year's of Conservative rule. They squeezed the working class's way to hard, then they squeezed the middle class, but somehow the upper class never got touched, funny that.   There is also new resentment for Labour because of the utter balls up they've made of things since coming to power nine months ago. The majority of the population (or at least those with an ounce of common sense) want these clowns out of office ASAP because they see the damage they are doing to UK plc. They squeezed the pensioners, then the farmers and then business. They made and broke promise after promise, or just didn't tell the truth or say what they where going to do, otherwise known as merely lying to get elected. Inflation may be falling but the cost of things in the shops and utility bills keep on rising, the direct opposite of what they promised. They will never be trusted once they are ousted from power in about four and a half years time.   Everything they do and touch causes further harm, led by three stooges, Rayner, Reeves and balls'less Starmer, who couldn't fight his way out of a paper bag. He still thinks he's a solicitor at the DPP. Rather than spending week upon week getting involved in international politics he needs to be sorting out the UK's issues, sadly he's not up to the job and nor are his Cabinet.  Society needs a mix of people with different skills to prosper, not more and more graduates who can't get jobs in what they studied in.   Reform is the current anti establishment party, which will hopefully wither away back to where it came from.  The Liberals and Greens, well what can you say apart from using them as another alternative vote of dissatisfaction, but neither will come to power.  The country seriously needs stability and a Government that stands up for and represents it's people, not what MP's want but what the constituencies want and need.  Government needs to become far more open and transparent, it needs to be seen to be doing its job, doing what MP's are elected to do,  working for the people in the constituencies, getting back to basic principles and rebuilding the trust which has been lost by successive party's immaterial of them being, red, blue, light blue, yellow, green or some other colour.
