[NetBehaviour] ello ello, what av we here then, an exclusive club for the digerati ?

[dave miller]

Maybe it's the grass is greener thing but I feel like there must be lots
going on over there (i.e. in fb) but on purpose I've cut myself off from
it.

I'm happy about doing that - cutting myself off on principles - because
it's obvious that fb are NSA snoopers - but feel I've excluded myself from
lots of great things.

I hope it's just an illusion, but so many events etc are publicised through
fb and I can't join in now. It's like I don't exist - a bit.

It's like there's a disco going on (this shows my age!) and everyone's in
there having a great time, and I'm standing outside alone with a bottle of
shandy.
