Oh it's just that in the not-too-distant past
everyone was like "oh, you have to do a Facebook App for any site you do" but like I think most people I think they are irritating, intrusive, clutter up a lot of space on walls and are only used by kids.

I think having apps on iPhone / Android is more important nowadays - just wondered what others felt...

i only ever download
the apps i get told to. although i do love angry birds (i'm shit at it though).

my new flatmate is a tv producer and she does apps for "south park" etc. i could ask her, but she doesn't move over from new york for another month or so. which means i just wasted 30 seconds of both our lives typing that.

I too love angry birds.
So much so, I had a kid with one.

haha ouch
i had my niece and nephew at the weekend. the nephew LOVED my boxing punchbag. it was hilarious, he's only 5, and the gloves came up to his biceps. then we took them to the park in richmond, where everyone assumed they belonged to me and younger brother because we look nothing alike. shudder. shudder shudder.

you should soooo take baby monty to richmond - amazing pub called the white horse, with lovely playground next to it, then walk down to lovely independent toyshop called "enchanted forest". my two thought it was the best day ever. i thought it was more exhausting than the gym, working and clubbing all rolled into one!

I was in the White Cross last evening, enjoying the dying embers of Summer.
Also enjoying the confusion engendered in the tourists by a good high tide that means you get flooded into the pub and have to stay for a couple more pints, all the while explaining the difference between "Tides" and "Rainfall" to bemused septics.

That could happen to you.
If you've forgotten you've driven somewhere.
