And someone who knows Violinia...and two kids who had been in Hungary at the same time as me the other week...and a boy I used to teach at Guildhall (now about 14 and who insists on wearing a suit, shirt and cufflinks at all times (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy.gif) )...and several other people whom I'd met previously (but didn't remember (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blush.gif) ) and people who knew people I knew...

It was just thinking about two small worlds yesterday! On Facebook I am friends with two authors - they co-write, and are probably my favourite fiction authors. Because I am friends with both of them, it suggests that I may know people who also know them both. Now, an awful lot of these are fans like me, but every so often FB will suggest that I know some well-known sci-fi writer or other. It always makes me laugh. And then, similarly, because I am friends with some forumites, it suggests me friends from that direction. Mostly it is other forumites (the other day, for example, it suggested I might know somebody named Cyrilla!)...but occasionally it is a Name in the recorder-world. And that always makes me grin too (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

I have a policy of only adding people I know properly (ie face to face or after so much on line interaction I feel I know them face to face) to FB I'm often surprised by it's suggestions. Though with some of the folks from here my initial thought is 'who?'

A friend (who more than once seemed to have a job available that he thought I could do - til he found out I was the wrong sort of programmer) persuaded me to join but I haven't bothered with it much. So I don't have many connections for it to suggest who else I might know. So it takes a guess and seems to think I know anyone who has ever studied at the Open University (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

This is a book written by a man in 1882 who undertook a 2400+ mile tour of Scotland by tricycle. I am so so so so happy to discover that he also undertook a 1400+ mile tour of England on his tricycle, and I shall be ordering up that book rather soon I think (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) I'd quite fancy a go on the tricycle as well! It's one of these beasties (without the Victorian lady installed): (IMG:http://www.bmiht.co.uk/samba/samba_share/images/Baldwin/lo%20res%20images/NBP-3092-001-lo.jpg) Edit: ohohohohoh, and a link to a photo of one, which is actually an 1882 version: http://www.flickr.com/photos/eucharisto_deo/4353944091/
