Why Facebook sucks
I get loads of “try this” type emails from Facebook. The latest was “How British Are You?”
I thought that might be a giggle so I played along. Installed the app, just like you have to with EVERY bloody application.
I took the quiz. Fine and dandy. The questions sucked. They always do. I hit the “finish” button, expecting see my result.
Nope.
To view your results, you must invite at least 20 friends to find out how British they are!. So far, you have invited 0 friends.
Problem here. Most of the friends that I have on Facebook have each other as friends too. No doubt that the person that sent me the quiz sent it to the same 20 friends I would choose. I can guarantee that there are a few that he won’t have sent it to. The issue for me is that the friends I could choose I refuse to as I don’t want to spam their mailboxes with this type of bullshit.
So, I will never find out “how British” I am. Although, I don’t need to find out. I already know. I drink tea. I think the English language is the best in the world. The Queen should get saint status when she dies. Football is good. Rugby is better. I live in the best country in the world. I wouldn’t leave the UK unless someone paid me 5 million quid.
Not even to move to Canada.

Oh come on now. We all know that everyone secretly wants to move to Canada. However, we aren’t accepting any “imports”, unless they can pass the test that you referred to .. :-D
