I made the mistake a few years back of joining Bebo after much pressure from friends
what the bastards didn't tell me is that Bebo is the preferred online networking site of teenagers and chavs so at best you look retarded, at worst a lurking peado.
Anyway that aside I was soon chatting with friends and catching up with old acquaintances.
One thing about bebo is that it allows users to post regular blogs and many of my online "friends" took advantage of this. I've never really seen the point of personal blogs, if I dont want folk reading my diary than why would I want the internet to read my personal thoughts? Still a lot of folk like to share their private lives with all and sundery. One of my "mumsy" friends liked to post regular updates on what marvelous things her kids were doing ("Little Johnny has started school, little Mary has lost her first tooth, little Bobby can shit on the potty all by himself etc etc) Another friend more worryingly would post regular updates on her sad and failing love life (she was a bit of tart with a heart and her blogs were sad and funny at the same time.)
One Sunday morning I found myself reading both their blogs together, to save time I had two separate tabs open. "Mumsy" was telling the world that little Johnny had failed to get into the A team for football but had made the B team. "Tart with a heart" was telling us that her latest ex had cheated on her with half the local pub's clientele. Hung over and tired I left comments on both stories and went about my daily Sunday business of organising dinner.
It wasn't until that evening when I logged back into Bebo that I learned of my faux pas. In my bleary eyed state I had left the wrong comment in the wrong tab. Under "tart's" blog about her ex shagging half of her drinking buddies I had put "I'm sure he did his best and gave it a good go." Under "mumsys" blog about her son not making the A team in football I had put "He's probably picked up crabs by now"
One good thing about Bebo is that you can delete comments!
