Farewell Facebook

For a long time I’ve been an avid Facebook user.  Posting several times a day.  Slavishly checking for new updates every second of personal downtime.  I even realised there was a gap in the Android market and wrote a Facebook Android App before Facebook got around to it.  I got a cease and desist letter from FB lawyers but that’s another story.

Well, today I de-activated my account.  Lost interest.  Really can’t be arsed with the banality of it anymore.  If I have anything exciting to share with the world then I’ll post it here…and the world won’t actually see it 🙂

My darling wife, in one of her many ploys to kill me, got me a flyboarding experience for my birthday.  It took me quite a few attempts to get to the rank of complete novice that you see above, but it was a fantastic experience and one that everybody should have a go at.

Mousetrap

I managed to convince Dragan and Tom that they should join me for my monthly trip to the theatre for July.  We saw the 26543rd performance of The Mousetrap.

It was awesomely awesome and I now understand why it’s the longest running play in London
