Birthday wishes

Yesterday was my birthday.

And I thank each and every one of you, but I have a little bit of a rant to make.

I have 266 friends on facebook.

Now I didn’t ever expect all 266 to write on my wall. A lot of them probably have a life and didn’t even log in today.

I got around 70 wall posts and comments, which is great.

But around 10 of those were from obscure people I have added that I wouldn’t normally talk to on even nearly a semi-regular basis. And there were a good few people who I would have expected a birthday wish from, but didn’t.

I just thought it was a bit weird that the social networking site people know I am heavily (and more than that is healthily) involved in was one place they didn’t use to convey their message.

I don’t mean to sound ungrateful. I’m not. I thank everyone who has made my day so special lots. Just wanted to point it out.

In other, but closely related, news.

I got:

A 32″ Flatscreen LCD TV
A £120 POLICE watch
A giant poster of a london/bus scene
Over £200 in cheques/cash
21 £1 lottery tickets
A clock/radio with time projector
A bonsai tree
and a book.
