On the train the other week: I foolishly took off the headphones for 30 seconds to swap from listening to the laptop to listening to the N95. I couldn't help but overhear a forty-something businessman talking on his mobile phone to a friend:
I've just discovered Facebook. I thought it was just for kiddies but it's great fun. It's great. It gives me something to do during the day for a start...

Posted by savs at August 9, 2007 7:26 PMI know what you mean. I'm staring 50 down the barrel of a gun and joined Facebook just to see what all the fuss was about. Trouble is, I just don't get it. People you barely know who vaguely recognise you suddenly act like they're your long lost cousin. It's weird, but ultimately poeple have nothing of any consequence to say to one another. If I sound like a grumpy old sod I apologise. It's just a phase I'm going through. Incidentally, I've just stared a blog myself about facing the dreaded five-0. . .ie: 50 years old.
