[BNM] [OT] Supposing ... I'm too old for MySpace

[Antony Jones]

The reason I have a myspace account is because people you've totally forgotten about find you on there and add you. It's great fun.

I hate it to death though. It's the ugliest, most unstable, impossibly-difficult to use, steaming, dung-infested pile of rubbish I've ever used and I can't wait until something better supercedes it.
