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.

    • The solicitor is also the Executor. Big mistake, but my Aunt was very old, and this was the Covid years and shortly after so impossible to intervene and get a couple of close relatives to do this.  She had no children so this is the nephews and nieces. He is a single practitioner, and most at his age would have long since retired - there is a question over his competence Two letters have already gone essentially complaining - batted off and 'amusingly' one put the blame on us. There are five on our side, all speaking to each other, and ideally would work as a single point of contact.  But he has said that this is not allowed - we've all given approval to act on each others behalf. There are five on her late husband's side, who have not engaged with us despite the suggestion to work as a team, There is one other, who get's the lion's share, the typicical 'friend', but we are long since challenging the will. I would like to put another complaint together that he has not used modern collective communication (I expect that he is incapable) which had seriously delayed the execution of the will.   I know many in their 80s very adept with smart phones so that is not an ageist comment. The house has deteriorated very badly, with cold, damp and a serious leak.  PM me if you want to see the dreadful condition that it is now in. I would also question why if the five of us are happy to work together why all of us need to confirm in writing.            
    • Isn’t a five yearly electricity safety certificate one of the things the landlord must give for a legal tenancy?
    • Very sorry to hear this, but surely the landlord is responsible for fixing the electrics?  Surely they must be insured for things like this? I hope you get it all sorted out quickly.
    • The Pie House Co-op Deptford Emergency Crisis - Needs YOUR Help. This not-for-profit, worker-run, wheelchair accessible music and arts venue at 213-214 Edward Place SE8 5HD THE CRISIS: From Liv, Grace & Sonia, On Friday 31st October, there was a flash flood in Deptford, and we found ourselves with water pouring in through the lighting fixtures, damaging our electrics and sound system. We have been forced to close for one of the busiest weekends of the year, losing thousands of pounds in income, and are now having to fight our landlords for support with the leak. We are asking all our allies for support as we try and reignite the crowdfunder to reflect the new expensive work that needs to take place, and the gear we need to replace. Thank you in advance for your support so far, and your support going forward. If you have any ideas with getting media attention, or fundraising - please get in touch on [email protected] Even if you like myself have not previously visited this venue, supporting small not for profit venues are vital to the life blood of what 'commmunity' is all about. HOW YOU CAN HELP: 1) If you are an electrician and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 2) If you are a Sound Engineer and can offer to help for free or at cost, please email: [email protected] Your help would of course be acknowledged. 3) If you are a journalist or have connections with the local and wider media (Print, on line, TV, Radio, please email: [email protected] 4) 'Every Little Helps' even just £1 will make a difference, please support the crowd funder: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/.../piehouse-workers-co-op... Via insta @piehouse.coop there is a video (see screenshots here) THANK YOU.
