'I've never joined Facebook because...' 4:33pm on 04 Feb 2009 Most comments on here amount to nothing more than "bah humbug" and I'd wager most have never used Facebook, they just don't like anything popular.

If you don't want to accept friend requests from long gone classmates you simply ignore them, if you don't want to advertise your relationship status you opt not to, if you get annoyed with someone's tedious updates you opt to not hear about them, if you don't want your email inbox being taken over you simply opt not to receive emails etc etc You have control over how Facebook works for you, you're not entirely at it's mercy.

What it does do is allow you to share photos of holidays with those who came with you, keep in touch with friends around the globe in an informal manner, make new friends with people who have similar interests, keep informed about local gigs etc. Whenever away travelling for extended periods it is a very handy one stop shop for sharing your experiences with those at home.

It hasn't replaced my "real life" but it's a useful, harmless enhancement. Some people are so bitter and boring and can't stand to see others enjoying themselves, and I suspect they don't have the requisite social circle in order for Facebook to be of any use to them....
Facebookers are narcissists 12:12pm on 25 Sep 2008 I think it's extremely unfair to brand someone a narcissist just because they're profile pic portrays them in a favourable light. I can't help it if I look great in every photo...
Germany the big winners in last act drama 12:18pm on 21 Jun 2008 That was such a dire game that had my remote control not run out of batteries I would've switched channels after the first half. Luckily for me I was lazy enough to sit it out and was rewarded with a spellbinding finish.

I think Croatia were unlucky not to be in front at the end of normal time. They seemed to lack the final touch, moving the ball well until they reached the penalty box then continually throwing away hard earned chances. I don't think Germany will squander such chances, their discipline and organization will give them the vital final few yards and they have players who can finish.

And should it come to penalties, it would take a brave man to bet against the Germans!!
