<Matt> Yes Facebook has some real advantages. For example I enjoy the company of a large group of horror film fans there. We have various niche genre groups so it is literally a gold mine for horror fans.

That is the only purpose I use Facebook for.

One of the advantages of Facebook is that you can register with any name you like, and connect with any group of people you want to. From family members to internet loons, it's all up to you to find the conversations you might want to join.

In my opinion it's always a good idea to take <Ohio> off ignore, though that kind of thing is personal. I would never judge somebody for their ignore list, that is strictly up to each member.

It's true what you say though <Dom> very much considered <Ohio> a good friend, which is obvious from his posting history.

<Dom> was a special case in many ways- he didn't believe in the ignore list, and I doubt he ever put any one on it.

I use mine selectively- I use it to prevent myself from fighting with people online. Every few weeks I clear it entirely though, until it slowly gets around a dozen names on it again.

Have a great Xmas! I'm playing host and doing all the cooking tomorrow, but thankfully it's a small gathering this year.

Been a hectic week or two in the footy and it's not likely to get any slacker in the near future.

At least both of our teams managed wins in the <Caribou> Cup, although I imagine <Totteringham> will be happiest about the draw for the next round!

Don't even ask why <ManU> are now third in the table - it's a complete mystery to me. We've only started well in that one game against <Leeds>. I guess a lot of the other teams must have been taking points off each other.

Was very pleased that Olly didn't play <Poggers>, even from the bench, but he's soft-hearted of course and will keep rotating the squad across the various competitions.

Jeez, there's just been a massive altercation involving three <foxes> outside my window. The squealing sounded like a dozen piglets being slowly tortured to death. I managed to catch most of the live action. No festive spirit in their world, that's for sure.

Yes, having re-read that last post of mine, I do see how it could have been taken either way. My money was actually on the Potters, so that's another seven bucks the <Percys> owe me.

As for pubs, the Dog and Ferret is and always was a non-starter. I favour the Dying Pine, as featured in rival publication "Gas". One depiction of its interior by Hunt Emmerson is still guaranteed to reduce me to hysterical laughter, whatever mood I'm in.

<Canyonero> Holy cow I had no idea The Jackson 5 made a Christmas album!!

This is indeed a rare Christmas treat thanks brah!

<Lotsapoppa> Amazing scienting brah I did not know that. That is amazing science proof that the movie of Casablanca was made out of the remains of J.R. Capablanca, if I read your post correctly..

I did know that <Casablanca> was king of the disco producers, and that his son sang this fine song here:

"Why was she born so beautiful?
Why was she born at all?
She's no bloody good to anyone.
She's no bloody good at all."

<Merry Newmas> Tim~!

Yes I have watched the <Prime Suspect> all 5 series many times. The first 3 series are much the best, as they were written by the <Lydia LaFlamme>, the author of the novels.

<Matt> Holiday best wishes to you as well!

<cormier> Happy New Year to you too, old friend.
