Trolled? By me??? Shirley you jest;-)

Tim, you might find it surprising that, not only do I know about Facebook, I have an account there as well! So I know about the gibberish ads on the right side of the page. What I didn’t understand was how or why Jonathan’s trolleys *showed up* on your FB page.

But I like the idea overall that you think I’m messing with you! Anytime one can keep one of the Evil Tims™ guessing, it is indeed a Good Thing® :-)

Hehehe. John has Facebook. Well I never! I mean the gibberish in the center of the page, not the gibberish in the ads. All the status updates, who is ‘friends’ with who, and occassionally something ‘useful’ like a picture of a tram.

Ummm... I’ve never really understood how the FB gibberish page works other than that it makes some pitiful and largely unsuccesful attempt to keep it recent and that it can’t decide if it’s running on my local timezone or the server timezone. Neither of which help much.

Or in summary: I have Jonathan as a FB friend and at some point I saw his two LEGO trolleys pop up in the gibberish which I promptly checked out.

Clear as mud?

Tim
