Brammers: Oh god, apparently five of my friends have invited me to be on Facebook.

Brammers' young friend: OMIGOD! I can't believe you're not on Facebook! You should totally be there!

B: I'm old, dear, the first number in my age is a four.

BYF: You're NOT old. And besides, my mum is in her forties and she's on Facebook.

B: I'm old and I have no children I need to stalk on Facebook. Also, I'll just be over there having a little cry for the next few minutes ...



Back to the work, editing and writing. Slowly catching up!

I'm having similar experiences lately - people emailing me inviting me to be their friend, some of their names I don't even recognize. I'm a hold-out, but I'm going to give in as soon as I find time to set up yet another internet point of entry because it does seem like an easy and relatively painless way to keep in touch with people. But it's amazing how frumpy I've become. I'm suspicious of Twitter and I still haven't figured out what a "phone app" is.

Hee! (Confession: I do have a Twitter account, but only to keep track of people who are travelling.)

My phone makes calls and sends messages, that's it. I think I need some parts of the day that are unconnected to the web. If Tim Berners-Lee can do it, so can I!

But if you stop holding out, I'll not judge you: it does seem an easy way to stay in touch. I just found out a friend is in London, which explains why I haven't seen him for a while ...

Would this be Mr B (as in not J)?
