Apparently today would have been Princess Diana's 54th birthday. Just saw a picture of her, I'd forgotten how beautiful she was.

My Dad used to looooove Princess Diana and was absolutely devastated when she died... after a couple of days of mourning, he was carrying on about how beautiful she was.

I then stated that there were better looking chicks wandering around the Plaza on a Saturday afternoon....

I nearly died that day...

Yeah I never thought she was that good when I was younger either, but the photo I saw today was from after separating from Charles & wow.

Funny you mention that.

I was at Tea Tree Plaza the day she died, and found out when I got back to my grandparents' place.

I was also at TTP when I found out Michael Hutchence died.

The moral of the story? Stay away from the Plaza, and nobody dies.

She was stunning and everything a princess should be. That was a sad day when she died.

Yet she wasn't above mixing with the 'commoners', which no doubt endeared her to the public even more.

@stan

4:30 pm, Brickworks Dan Murphys.

I walk in, lady has 8 cartons of Becks on her trolley. "Hmmm", I think.

Walk into fridge, no Becks. Girl over loud speaker "John, please check cool room for 6 cartons of Becks"

I go to the counter "7 cartons"..."You want 7?", "No, one, make John look for 7". "John, 7 cartons of Beck please".

John comes out the cool room with 6 cartons, I grab one off the trolley "Thanks John". Lady at counter "Hey! They're mine!"

"I don't think so", I say, "I get my first and only before you get your 9th".....

Go to counter, "Just the one thanks" pay, walk out, get in car.

Lady comes out with 13 on her trolley "Hope you're happy" she says as I drive past.

:-s

The best thing to do is unfollow all of the people that annoy you. That is different to defriending so they dont get all butthurt about it, but you still dont have to see their posts :D

I almost use it as a news aggregator in a lot of ways, though twitter is better for that purpose.

another big advantage is the ease at which you can set up a small group or invite. it makes it so easy to communicate with a lot of people quickly.

So there are big advantages if you are prepared to put up with and or block the crap that comes with it.


Good idea. I have unfollowed the person who writes 'I sharted' at least five times a week on their FB page.


Think we must have a mutual friend ;)

The Mrs and I found the original series of Pokemon on Netflix. That is now our bedtime show. Watched about 8 episodes in two nights.

I also downloaded Pokemon Blue for my phone, and play with a Gameboy emulator app.

Gotta catch 'em all!
