No prob. Done.

i) Nothing useful. Got referred by a colleague at work, but hasn't proved any use. Supposedly a social networking tool, but since it has no other functionality nobody is using it any more.

ii) Unsurprisingly we have a load spare at work. Mel has been harranging me for one too. Remind me when I get back from hols (mid sept).

iii) Nice.

iv) They never really did anything for me.

Someone who had Family Commitments in Essex that day ? Bollocks. Bollocks bollocks bollocks. Bollocks bollocks bollocks bollocks bollocks.

Maybe I'll pretend to be ill.

Marvellous! Many thanks. Will go play.

i) Meeting Brazilians, apparently.

Dude, you just used the concepts "family commitments" and "Essex" in the same sentence, which I think are deserving of being ill even if there isn't something better to do in this neck of the woods.

Hm. I'm sure it's a lovely place, but...

A cursory poke about seemed to show that all the 'communities' I might be interested in were either moribund or the size and demeanour of usenet.

Maybe I'm the wrong sort of person to be interested in 'social networking'.

When everyone I can think of joined in a flurry, I did find it momentarily useful to find people I hadn't been in touch with for ages.

But LJ combines social networking with, er, being for a purpose.

Trouble is, my beloved Donna comes form Chelmsford. And, though she has had the sense to escape, many of her family have not.

And I don't know of a way to extradite them.

six rows back by centre aisle iirc but I can't be arsed to dig out the tickets

[hirez.livejournal.com]

I'd best extract a digit or two and order up some tickets myself.
