- On Abandoned Buildings
-
Abandoned buildings in general are cool in that most of them have an interesting history. Some of them were factories, some were cinemas, some were been the homes of the rich, influential and/or famous and some were ballrooms and theatres. There are some abandoned buildings that I've walked past in my area over the years that I thought would be great for wander round if I ever had the chance. Unfortunately, some were marked for demolition before anyone had the chance to try and save them.

- Paper is better
-
For me, paper is best when it comes to writing notes, as I seem to be able to jot them down faster and it is less fiddly then writing them on an electronic device. I do occasionally jot notes on my iPod touch, but I often find touchscreens annoying when it comes to typing things out on them as it is easy to make mistakes on them. If I do ever want to save any notes I make electronically, I'd rather use my blackberry or computer to do it.

- What I'd Like a Lifetime Supply of
-
If it was absolutely possible, I would like a lifetime's supply of chocolate digestive biscuits - the dark chocolate ones. I admit to having a bit of an addiction to them. If there's a packet in the house, they can go pretty quickly (however, it is not always down to me). So yeah, while having something like that for life may make me fat, at least I will save a lot of money.

- The Longest I'd Want to Live without Internet
-
Having to live without internet access is something that many of us couldn't imagine happening these days, kind of like not having a television. I'd like to think that I could last a while without it - I did pretty well until we got a computer in our house all those years ago. In truth, I could probably only go without it for a week. Well, two weeks at best. I guess I depend on it so much now in my everyday life that it would be incredibly hard to be without it. However, I would like to think that the situation doesn't drive me too mad.

Where do I start?
1. Spam accounts
2. Trolls
3. People who typ lyk dis.
4. People who use the acronym FML in their tweets and FB statuses.
5. People who don't know the difference between "loose" and "lose"
6. "Follow for Follow" (F4F) accounts - excuse me, you contacted me so you should follow me first!
7 Teenage girls who spam Twitter timelines practically demanding that their favourite celebrity tweets or follows them, only to get all bitchy and pissy when said celebrity doesn't respond.
8. Automated tweets.
9. Tweetless wonders - twitter accounts that follow you yet don't have a single tweet on them.
10. Pointless Facebook groups
11. Cyberbullying - in particular Twitter accounts and Facebook groups set up purely to abuse someone.
And that's just a few of them.
