Facebook as the New Global Village
Just realizing the potential of Facebook as the new global village!
In a world where we are all feeling more and more alienated from each other (I haven't the faintest clue who my neighbours are), it's encouraging to find a place where this trend is startlingly reversed.
I recently joined the Facebook community at the insistence of an acquaintance, and, with nothing better to do with my time, started searching there for old friends. And then, with even more time on my hands, for people much better known than my buddies i.e. famous persons.
Cyberspace seems to be the post of the C19, where you are alone in some distant part of a country and your social relationships are realized by correspondence - the daily mail (or, in my case, males).
So having sleuthed down a few from my first category and reconstituted them into parallel 'Facebook friends', I decided to turn my attention to famous bods.
And tentatively sent out a single request for 'friendship'.
And then the totally unexpected happened!
The totally fabulous famous person responded - encouragingly! And we have had some exchanges - not going to try to make more of it than that! We are not about to start phoning or visiting or living together! But a bit of interaction is good!
I don't 'kiss and tell' but you can visit me at

In the meantime, four hints could be:
So off to Facebook my friends!
