    The funky kidz in another department obsessively use Myspace and Twitter during the day.

    Their senior boss was off today, and hadn't phoned in sick, so they checked his Myspace profile which said "Got Piggy Flu - see ya in a few weeks dudes".

    As far as they are concerned, if you don't use Twitter, Myspace, Facebook, Bebo and the like constantly, then you are "Billy No Mates" and not worth talking to IRL.

    Weird old world....
    Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

      I used to work with someome like that. She's lovely but when she emails me with a bit of gossip it's all OMG, LOL and L8R (and that shorthand language - like u r txtin). I should add she's very bright and articulate in person. Change required.

        Reminds me of Role Models. Watched it last night and the lead character hates text type speak as well.

        Winds me up too.

          A bloke I was at skool with thinks that - he writes about it all the time in his blog (although his blog doesn't allow comments) - he is the one who told me off for joining the "I want to Punch June Sarpong" group when he "evangelised" me into joining Facebook. He is 47 and I find it all a bit sad, frankly, but also a bit sinister as he also dismisses anyone in similar fashion.
