I've no idea, facebook is yet another way for the sub-20s generation Y or whatever they're called, to itch yet another solipsistic scratch.


The last couple of Roasteds (the little cartoon at the beginning of the observer magazine, and along with Barbara Ellen the only reasons to pick it up) have been spot on. Woman panicking as her IM, email, myspace mail, facebook poke, mobile phone and SMS all go off at once, but still no neighbour has ever knocked on her door!


Iraqis are apparently all dating and communicating on IM and email and chat sites, they have an excuse, we don't. So who's up for the next Forum meet, or RL (real Life) interfacing session?


*quietly pulls down '12,000 views screenshot' from flickr photostream, coughs into hand, ahem ahem*

Seeing as every Homepage actually just posts to a myspace page, full of photos from flickr and events from upcoming.org, with delicious links, technorati tags and blogger blog entries, I suppose we shouldn't be surprised.

Does it have an upmystreet link for lordship lane?

I'm only poking fun Nutty. Most sites have perfectly useful applications. I only got into flickr to show a couple of holiday snaps to family and put stag do/wedding photos up for mates to enjoy.


Then you get sucked into the community, and the views and the explore hits and everything else. Somewhere it's taken me a good year to control and retreat slowly from.


Likewise there's no reason myspace can't be a genuine way to showcase music etc, but really for most it's a popularity contest, people logging on every half an hour to watch their hit counters etc.

I've not gone on to facebook but I gather it functions in much the same way, potentially useful, potential solipsism trap. After all a hammer's great for banging nails in a wall, or you can kill people with it.


Regardless, I'm going to have to come to terms with forum addiction at some point and slowly slip away from it, not to mention yet another new outlet for my penchant for online gaming that's recently come by, so i have to limit these things.


Hence i didn't register.

    • My bird app just picked up swifts before I heard or saw them!  
    • I highly recommend Temi as a very skilled and reliable painter / decorator based in the East Dulwich & SE London area. She has completed many jobs for us over the past 10 years at our property on Overhill Road SE22 and also on Harlescott Road SE15, and we have always been thoroughly impressed with her work. We often leave her with keys and leave her to work her magic, fully confident that she's 100% trustworthy and will always do a fantastic job. If you're looking for a trustworthy local decorator who delivers exceptional work Temi is a great person to call. I'm not affiliated with her or her business in any way and actually found her through a recommendation on the ED forum over 10 years ago, i just like to recommend really good tradespeople who deserve a thank you.

    • Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Leon. Very reasonably priced and called out on the same day I contacted him! 
    • ''He caused chaos  in this country with his put down of everything British and his many dismal words about the effects of Brexit on this country.'' What utter tosh. Carney had to mitigate the effects of Brexit caused by plastic patriots like Farage. For example, immediately after the 2016 Brexit vote the BoE had to intervene fiscally by dropping interest rates and increasing QE in order to prevent the economy from taking a big hit.  They were unable to prevent the £ from crashing at the time, and it has since been worked out that the effect of that alone caused a circa £900/year hit to each UK household, which equates to the UK @ £450m/week.   There's reams of data out there that shows the economic damage Brexit has caused to the UK. Here's one looking at business investment, admittedly not very sexy but kinda important if you want to achieve economic growth. It's clear to see that prior to 2016 we had reached parity with some of our main rivals, but since then we've flatlined. All that Brexit has achieved is to win the race to the bottom. There's a reason why Farage never brought up Brexit at the last election, he knows himself it hasn't delivered on any of the promises, quite the reverse in fact.  Labour, stupidly, by saying they can make Brexit work have in effect given Farage a Get Out of Jail Free card...
