My face, Friendbook, and TwatterBleeping.

Yes we all love the fantastic NZ iconic comedian Rhys Darby, especially in his new Two Degree adds, co-starring Jeff, the racist robot.

However if you manage to look past the flash advertising, or Rhys's fantastic humor, his suave and confident demeanour, or his big brown eyes... there lies the question of how reliant are people becoming on social networking sites to run their lives, and as a gauge of social acceptance.

Many of these websites began their lives as nothing more than a pointless plaything for pre-pubescent adolescents trying to make a name for themselves in the big wide world. Msn is an example of this, however it lacked the qualities to keep up with modern day demands and the ever-changing market of social networking needs.

Bebo is a massive online market that companies are now trying to tap into, such as telecom, which offers free Bebo messaging for two months with its new range of XT mobile phones.

Why is there such a reliance now days on these networking sites? is it a practical necessity? For politicians or charitable organisations it makes sense to tap into this market, offering the chance to gain more support from a different and unique target crowd.

This of course makes sense, but what about the average Joe or Joanne Bloggs who twats, bleeps or friendfaces to tell the world they are happy right now, or perhaps hungover from the big weekend, or is feeling a tad nostalgic this morning.

WHO GIVES A FLYING F@#*&.

Anyway, what do we gain from our constant updates? the chance for others to show their interest, or perhaps register support during a tough time, and vise versa.

It does raise the question of what people stand to loose. For younger users, its provides another opportunity to get picked on, as details are available for most people to see, and information is shared with the touch of a button. The term 'Cyber bullying' is cheesy and weak, but the amount of pain and abuse that can be inflicted on an individual is very real and very destructive.

Care needs to be taken for individuals to protect themselves from the ravages of those few cyber-bleeping-twats who think they rule the roost.

The growth of social networking sites is growing rapidly and their popularity is certainly not diminishing. As the Internet is playing a larger role in our lives so does it affect the way we interact with each other. It is providing new markets for companies and new ways for people to connect without that close contact.

But is it necessary?

Woman hides as naked man takes over her bed-anything wrong with this picture?

According to the southland times a drunk Australian man left his companians room, who had brought him back to the hotel, to wander out onto the corridor naked then enter another couples suite.

One could ask what would make a drunk man leave the comfort of the bedroom in the first place, maybe she wasn't what he expected, a little rough perhaps, or maybe the paper bag kept falling off.

Regardless, said Australian manages to wander into their bedroom, and curl up in a ball on their bed.

It raises the question how much do you need to drink to become that intoxicated, luckily making that much of an ass out of yourself means you get away with out being charged.

Not so lucky is another bright spark, a Christchurchian who decided it was a wise idea to steal his God-fathers rental car, crash it, then drive it back to his hotel and leave it parked in the central access way, then throw away the keys.

What he thought he was achieving by this is highly questionable, perhaps little leprechauns had told him to do it for a pot of gold, or maybe he was getting one up on the facist hotel staff, fight the system!

No one seemed to be smiling in this instance however, least of all him, facing charges of disqualified driving, driving under the influence, and careless driving.

As pointed out in the newspaper how much is too much? and how drunk will patrons let punters get before they deny them the keys to their vehicles.

This behaviour is nothing unusual in the history of mankind, and it seems nothing will ever change.

I hope however, for the sake of my sanity and m life i dont wake up with a naked man curled up on my bed or a drunk driver crashing through my house to say gidday.

This is Pedro Kantor.

Say hi Pedro.

"Hi" ;-)

tau insertion force.

First battle against friends tau resulting in defeat. we both played using 950 points worth of men.
He had leader with two crisis suits, two fire warior squads, a pathfinder team, a pirhana and a kroot squad.

I had a librarian, terminator squad, taktical squad, seven sternguard in droppod and a landspeeder. I had a good tactic however it went downhill after i dropped beside a crater with my sternguard on the edge firing at the crisis team 2 inches away. my wanky friend claimed a cover save against all my ap1,2 and 3 weapons meaning I only killed one of the crisis suits, the return fire wiped most of my squad out. furios!
