I have absolutely no idea whether I've adjusted its settings in a satisfactory fashion, I can see no way of moving component parts or adding third party assemblies. I am, should anyone want to criticize, https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100004214318898

Funny... I've been on facebook today and all the while, I had " Spot from Forumgarden needs friends, can you suggest friends for him"?

My husband happened to be strolling past and I said " Look, Spot's added a profile pic". He peered over my shoulder and said " Miserable **** " and carried on passing.

I can only apologise for my husbands rudeness but If I have to see these alerts every time I use Facebook, could you change It to a pic where you've cracked a smile?

LOL PMSL Smiley Face Kiss Kiss as they say In Facebook speak.

It's called a supercilious sneer, I learned it from photos of Jackie Fisher decades ago and it's become a permanent feature. Besides, taking that one may have flattened my camera battery.

Wow, Spot on Facebook? I never thought I'd see the day. Just noticed Galbally is his friend. Haven't heard from him for a while.

Spot, You should friend Lon, then you guys could play Cafe World together.

What puzzles me is the way you always plat bits of straw in your hair before you take the photo, I never worked out what that was for.

Facebook seems determined to cause me grief - it's asked me in the last hour whether I'd like to befriend The Stig, whether I'd like to support Armed Services Day and forwarded messages from The Rolling Stones who apparently have A Surprise In Store. "Store" may be a code-word for shopping, but I may be mistaken.

You're asking the wrong chap, mate. I'm just steering this thing, I've no idea what the other pedals are for.

I've just disliked The Rolling Stones, a new-age perfume shop in Ohio and Shakira.

Dislike? It asks you to like or dislike things? Hmm . No idea. I wouldn't pay attention to them.

It's rather difficult to pay no attention to Shakira, she looks exactly like my cleaning lady.

She's sweet, bless her, and no bother at all really. Though with all this hot weather she does tend to turn up in shockingly skimpy housecoats.

I've taken to changing the subject when my age is brought up. The sole evidence you can advance is my appearance which is in fact an unfortunate consequence of seeing something nasty in the woodshed many years ago.

I just sent a friend req.

Y'll seem far more interesting that most of my family.

I should probably add that spot's photo is taken angled up, with him looking down at the camera with a clear view up his nose. He's practically inviting comments like this.

That's what happens when one holds a camera at arms length and squinnies down the barrel of its lens while pressing all its buttons!

Life's just odd. I get QUIN thrown at me, I haven't a clue what quin means but it's obviously legal. Later those letters score again as QUINT, again I haven't a clue what quint means but it's obviously just as legal.

I see that there's room, I have the missing bits so QUINTAIN seems about right and the program agrees to take it on account of quintain being practically part of Basic English In 1000 Words as taught to four year olds.

On the contrary, posting quintain is right up there on a par with demanding an immediate withdrawal of troops from Poland. Echoes of the explosion still reverberate. Scrabble is harder than it looks.

Some people have other burning issues this evening and last night when you pulled into the lead with a huge margin yet again, I admit I was tired and teasy and walked out of the game.

I'd caught up with you within 30 points of your score lol you'd been way out in the lead the whole game, so yet again you pulled out into a massive lead.

You do know it's not cool to be such a clever dick.

If you go to [profile reference removed - see below] you'll see what you're aiming for. I can't search for myself - once you see that page, and you're logged in as you, what would you search for? I've no experience of Facebook at all before this week.

Is that a picture of an actor? No wonder he looked like "someone else". Oh whatever. I like Accountable's "picture" too, although I'm aware it's Marty Feldman. R.I.P. he was a treasure.

No, it's Toby Jones and I could be the sod's grandfather.

This is Thomas Henry Huxley and there's no way I could have been his, I was out of the country at the time.
