I wrote this yesterday evening but didn’t press ‘publish’ at the time. I’ve come back to it today and edited to correct spelling mistakes.
To all those “nerds” who posted on my Facebook wall in the wee small hours of the morning – get a life! Have you got nothing better to do than be on the interweeby thing at that time of day. :-)))
“There’s a small glass of Calvados in front of me.”
To all those who posted during the day, you have a bit more sense but, as most of you are members of the Federal Liberal Democrats who probably campaigned to ‘save the post office’ and ‘Royal Mail’ why didn’t you use those facilities? You copped out by using social media. Just think, if you don’t use it, you lose it. :-)))
Just think wouldn’t it be better to go in to your local post office, pick out a card, scribble a few words, envelope it, purchase a stamp and post it there and then. Then let Royal Mail put it into their system to deliver it. Think how much more appreciative the recipient would feel to know that you’ve gone to all that bother. I know that doing things electronically is easier and less time consuming but we should set aside more time to re-engage with “friends” by making our communications more personal.
“That glass is now a brandy glass and the contents have increased in proportion.”
And to all those that didn’t post, congratulations, you have displayed common sense. Mind, I’ve stopped using Facebook for being “social”, I’ve stopped acknowledging other people’s birthdays on that platform. I tend to use it to share links to stories, press articles instead and don’t log in directly to comment very often.
“Frack, that brandy glass now looks like a half-pint. Sheryl Crow is singing in the background and that cover of ‘I want you back’ sounds very like Mike Jackson singing, 100 miles from Memphis – wooo hooo!”

I thing I should stop now, see you on the other side.
