Friends with Andrew Katay

My facebook friendship request has been pending for a year. But now, he has accepted it!

I think this tells you something.

I am pathetically grateful.

Where do you go in fb land to see how long it has been pending for?

Lucy, you can't. An employee of facebook could tell you, but then they'd have to kill themselves.

You can record these things using what I call a pen, or you can obsessively remember them in the way that I have the addresses of all the friends that have de-friended me, on the back of an old bus ticket inside my second wallet.

did you send him a message to ask why? Maybe he doesn't look in the top right hand corner for friend requests.

geoffc, Katay and I have been buddies since 1988. I seize upon opportunities like this with the voracious joy of a cockroach upon a wet crumb.

just one bus ticket?

My fingers have been trained by years of piano playing, and I can write very small. Think the Lord's Prayer on the head of a pin, and so on and so forth.
