It's MySpace that is full of kids. FaceBook is the one that is aimed at the slightly older internet-socialite.

With you there. I do have a FaceBook account, but I log into it about once every 4 or 5 months. Really can't be arsed with it. I don't understand half of what goes on there.

My teenage lad has a Bebo account.

I've looked, but have no clue what they are talking about. They use some kind of text-speak code indecipherable by adults!

And this has what to do with Surfs? Perhaps if you gave details of your vehicle and then said, "How about joining a fuel protest as my Surf is costly to run", that would have given you more credibility, no doubt you have posted on many other motor orientated forums perchance?

Well, unless your Surf runs on fresh air I'm guessing it's relevant...

Dosn't matter what car/truck people drive at the end of the day we are all in the same boat here.

It does run on fresh air actually, mixed with diesel of course.

Poorly phrased opening line perhaps, but I take it you didn't take into account the rest of my statement then?

[MattF]

Must admit, the single thought that pops into my mind upon seeing the following sentence is something slightly unsuitable for print. That attitude is really going to endear people to join in.

Join in and put up or shut up.

There were two things.

The one you noticed, and 'Facebook'
