Ok so online social networking is a fantastic idea. Great innovation of the internet but today it’s ugly side rared its head, in the form of some bollox.

I’ll tell the story in brief, some twanger, for want of a better word, decided to make a clone of my sisters bebo profile. Signed up to a bunch of groups and posted on her friends profiles, or at least the ones he/she could access. Thus trying to sully her image and making her friends think it was her posting distasteful comments etc…. (only the profile name differed slightly).

So I’ve had to call her late tonight thinkin her account had been accessed by someone else, until I relealised that it was another account completely. Apparently calling me “the worsf brother” was the best he/she could come up with. Anywho, after all was figured out, got the account banned on bebo, and fair play to the bebo abuse crowd, less than 3mins for a response and account closure. If they’d be kind enough to give me some IP address, I could work from there myself, but I doubt it. Anywho 130+ friends profiles check and messages left for those who had been commented on by the bollox.

Anywho this leads me to my point, make your profile private, well unless you’re out there for dating or whatever, just be prepared that some fuck can pretend to be you. I never bothered switching my own to private, saying that I never thought somebody would be pathetic enough to make a complete copy of a profile.

That is all.

So haven’t posted in a while mainly because I’m busy, busy, busy, busy …….. *stares at wall*, and easily distracted. I’ve a ton of semi-ready posts, but they require a lot of editing before posting, so I’m gonna hold off on ‘em. However, the gist of some of them are; a load of friends are leaving the country, so I’ve been busy catching up with them, there will be drinking and on top of it all I have a job and college to attend (neither are fun when hungover). So essentially I’m chasing my own shadow which it seems is 20 steps ahead of me, wish I had his organizational skill.

Work over the next while will probably take up a lot of time, lots of ideas to implement and projects to chase up on, there’ll probably be a post on that too, as soon as I get my arse in gear. I need to not need sleep. So in conclusion members of the internets, I’m not dead, just sleeping.

I normally don’t buy broadsheet newspapers, or newspapers at all (usually nothing but cack in them), but today while getting breakfast in Dunnes, I decided to pick up the Sunday Independent for the story on Irish Nationwide, not the heading “One cigarette is the price of oral sex in UCD”. Anyway besides the main heading for a broadsheet being about students and sex, there were some interesting articles.

Well anyway, to my point. The Sunday Independent costs €2.50, however if you’re buying in the North, it’s £1.40. Using XE.com €2.50 is £2.02, so why is there a difference of 62 cent? We’re constantly hearing of things being cheaper in the North, even our own papers “Irish” papers, are being sold cheaper in a foreign currency. This is nothing new, although we’ve mainly being hearing about it the other way round, the clothes and goods both tagged in sterling and euro having massive differences.

So on that note, it’ll be the last time I buy the Sunday Independent in the South, feck ‘em anyways.

Also I’m off to buy a pack of fags, to UCD!
