        The other suggestion I saw a couple of years ago was that you start using obscenities. Instant deletion apparently, though you may need to hit a Yank nerve or two to be effective.

        Ooh, I can just see the picture at US Immigration:

        "Have you ever been deleted from Facebook?"
        Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

          Ooh, I like that one. I'm good at obscenities.

            That was fast - I've added a bit to my previous post.

                  I had that feeling last night between this thread and the one on Facebook.

                    Waking up, checking the time with the alarm clock and seeing it's nice and early.

                    Decide to get lots done today.

                    On getting up and seeing another clock, wonder where 2 hours went.

                    Check alarm clock again and see it's 2 hours slow.

                    Curse the alarm clock that tries to get the time off the radio waves!

                    And sometimes fails. Obviously.

                    I've just checked the bugger, and it's now reset itself to the proper time.

                      ... and then it makes you out to be a liar.

                      "Honestly, the engine turned over but it wouldn't start. I tried for about two hours, the last time was a couple of minutes before you got here."
