This past week I've been stuck in a stripped out flat watching a Friends DVD that happened to be in the player attached to the signalless TV.

I recently downloaded and re-watched every single episode of Friends from start to finish and found that it hadn't actually aged too badly. Quite enjoyed it in fact.
 
I have to admit I enjoyed it more than I would have liked to.

It's still a total timesink though. Watching Friends is not a good use of time at all..

Perhaps that's due to the fact that practically an entire generation of young Britishers (maybe even two considering the show's lifespan and the interminable repeats) attempted to emulate the lifestyles, aspirations, dress sense and vocabulary they observed therein?

And then a decade later, Facebook turned up to finish the job and make people really fucking intolerable.

Yeah, I genuinely do take things this seriously.

If I did use Facebook, I'd be the guy with no friends. ;)

I honestly do think that site has fucked with 95% of people who use it and that it's changed social interaction for the worse. But I've said all these things at least once, and probably at great length.

And yes, I'm fully aware that I'm typing this on an internet forum. I'm not talking about the internet in general, nor am I entirely eschewing the modern age. Although the clothes are shit and the music's rubbish, of course.
 
@ Ben: ok thanks. I have to get my fuckin house at least a bit more sorted and cleaned today. My Dad has been pushing and pushing to come visit me, and he's backed me into a corner now where i juist cant say no, and he's coming this weekend. I know it sounds terrible when you dont even want to see yor own Dad, but im trying to w/d off Bupe and my mood isnt great and my house is one huge fuckin mess, especially the kitchen. Apart from that everythings fine lol, how are you ?

yeah before fb people might actually have phoned each other or even seen one another in person more often. However there was instant messaging and emails before fb, so its really just an extension of those, in a way. I spose.

Albion. Why are you not playing GTA?

I do love you in case you were wondering.

Because I do not have GTA.

I know you do love me. I love you too. But I'm afraid you're gonna have to cut the GTA out of this relationship. It's making me jealous (and you won't like me when I'm jealous).

No it's not. It's far more insidious and pervasive than either.

You could argue that Myspace got there first, but that didn't have anywhere near the same effect. And it was easier back then; you knew that anybody (not counting famous people, etc.) with a personal Myspace page was an insufferable piece of shit, whereas the take-up for Facebook has been much greater. I even know some likeable people who use it. They scare me when they use it / talk about it though. There's something not right about being so concerned with the minutiae of the lives of people whom you barely talk to.
