"Can I say you're my girlfriend on Facebook?"

Yeah and all the 'if Howard loses I am moving to the US' crap. Just fuck off.

I thought "just fuck off" at people who said the sameabout howard winning last time round, I have to say (the statement as it stands is pointless grandstanding).

Me too.

It was sooo nice to see these idiots have a giant sook when Rudd won though. 'Oh noes we are doomed' etc. Never mind all the groups Howard fucking marginalised. Uh oh I'm on that soapbox again.

other than my one super-catholic friend from london, no bigotry in my friends. and even he is extremely liberal. just very very pro-life.

Start me on pro-lifers and that soapbox will come out again.

i mean, i give just a bit of lee-way to my polish catholic friends, unless they're homophobic. which he is not. he's also not some sort of raving pro-life lunatic.

In recent years I've had to distance myself from friends/family who proclaim rubbish such as 'gay is not normal/healthy' or whatever. There's no excuse for that way of thinking anymore, particularly in a 'developed' country.

On second thought, that one is just family.

Johann Hari is SO glad he opposed the catastrophe in Iraq from the beginning. Oh, wait...

^^^^ unfuckingbelievable

r u one of his 848 friends? He's popular. Or desperate.

no im not!

It's a straight toss-up between Enrique and Richard Littlejohn as to who is most wound-up by the existence of Johann Hari.

I smell sitcom

i'm gonna win this thing

Looking at Hari's groups he's hating back on Littlejohn, but tolerating our man at ILX pretty well ----->

Richard Littlejohn is a F*cking C*nt! ▪ Jon Gaunt and Richard Littlejohn, for people who don't like thinking. ▪ Richard Littlejohn is a moron and a twat ▪ I hate Jon Gaunt

We should have a public figures/celebrities who leave their Facebook pages accessible to all thread. I dunno if they do it out've vanity or ignorance of privacy options.

Patrick you forgot Johann's 'every time I see an Enrique post my penis shrivels a bit' group.

When I first saw Johann's column in the Guardian I spent the first month or so thinking he was a woman coz the byline pic was so lesbian-looking, so it wouldn't surprise me if his penis was v shrivelled.

^^^this only in the independent

I stand corrected. It must have been in my short lived Indie phase.

so um

friendfeed is awesome.

but i know everyone's sick of this shit by now so i'll shut it.

Is there a way for domain owners to remove former employees from the associated Facebook network?

should be "BARF" not "poof"

waht is friend feed

u mean news feed

its a thing

its the good parts about facebook (keeping up with the stuff people want to share w/you online) without the zombie bullshit, and it doesn't ask that you add a dozen apps to "your page" to keep track of it all. just add once and you're up.

http://friendfeed.com/about/

it's a hoos' real name

i know right

but whatever

none of the google results for that username are me anyways lol

except that one youtube vid w/ned

I think I figured out your name was Justin a long time ago.

i'm sure you did

Sort of reminds me of when I figured out an ILXor's real name by anagramming his username.

Yes, I too remember Jonh_Smith

its the good parts about facebook (keeping up with the stuff people want to share w/you online) without the zombie bullshit, and it doesn't ask that you add a dozen apps to "your page" to keep track of it all. just add once and you're up.

Not that interesting a story to be fair but definitely enjoying the "thousands of pounds of taxpapyers' money" jab in there - it was only a sexual harrassment case for a convicted stalker after all. At least the Mail actually mentioned his previous conviction, unlike the Metro (where I just read about this before looking it up) which busted out "taxpapers' money" as well but without any other context to the case

split up after a row over whether to watch the Eurovision Song Contest on television in April last year, the court heard.

also sent an Ian McEwan novel with a note saying "this is a beautiful book" to Miss Sl4dd3n at work in January this year, which she claimed made her feel "sick, frightened and very insecure".

Mr Hur5t said: "I sent her the book because it had certain relevances to the relationship we'd had, it gave me comfort and I'd hoped it would do the same for Sophie.

"I find it difficult to understand how a book can be distressing."

The book he sent her was "On Chesil Beach".
From wikipedia: During the course of an evening, both reflect upon their upbringing and their fears of the future. Edward is prone to fits of violence and Florence is terrified of sexual intimacy: eventually this leads to a confrontation that will change their relationship irrevocably.

The novel focuses upon the couple's woeful lack of sexual knowledge and experience. 1950'S Britain is evoked wonderfully, from the description of the couple's dinner at the hotel, to the girl's fears of the sex act itself.

I'm sure that gave her great comfort...

i don't know if this has already been mentioned, but fb is doing this creepy thing of suggesting who you should be friends with:

Axxxxx Mxxxxxx just joined Facebook.
Based on your information, it seems that you might know Axxxxx. If you know them, perhaps you should add them as a friend.

this person is obviously an ilxor, based on their friends, and i already figured out which one based on their real name.

still totally weird that facebook is telling me who i know that is signing up to facebook.

Hah I got that one too.

If that's me (seems pretty likely), it's also weird because I joined up for fb several months ago. I just started getting friended.
Don't know how to turn off that part - the random connection to anyone in the larger interconnected fb world, which is pretty vast.
Anyway - if you know how an fb user can stop that from happening, let me know!

maybe change your privacy settings? go in there and have a play around, set everything to max privacy level.
