When I was in 6th Form, Miss Cook told her class that she didn’t have a telly. You can imagine the horrified gasps of fifteen Fresh Prince-obsessed girls echoing around the classroom. But this had given one of my schoolmates, Sarah, an idea – as a self-confessed telly addict, she would attempt to give up her favourite shows for two... Read the rest of this post...

It’s that little flicker of happiness that you get in your (now Easter-enlarged) belly when a proclaimed selfie gets a Like on Facebook, a few more Likes later and you’re a little bit pleased with yourself, without being entirely sure why. Fuck yes I wore that lipstick well, thanks for agreeing! Oh this NEW dress proudly presents my lovely lady... Read the rest of this post...

The Facebook ‘Like’ absolutely confounds me. Isn’t it one of the most baffling enigmas of this digital generation?

Sooo let’s not go into positives, because we all know there are plenty of ‘em. This is about when Facebook goes wrong. Very wrong. Facebook should be called ASBO-book, really.
