Blackmail Years

For a long time I've believed that my demise will be foretold unto me and I will simply not get around to do anything about it - like never putting my the bulk of my savings in an interest-bearing account or topping up my ISA, only fatal. One day I'll get one of those Chinese fortune, ahem, biscuits and the rice paper message will just say "You die."

I'd rather walk around a built-up area wearing shorts and a Bluetooth phone headset than have a presence on F'cebook, so when a friend of mine sent me a link to it recently I had to politely decline. This isn't the first time this has happened, as it is popular with several colleagues (why use a social networking site when we can more easily procrastinate on our employer's e-mail system?) but I'd never followed the link before.

"Blackmail Years"? Eh? Am I just about to enter my 'blackmail years', is that the message? Am I blackmailing? Or do I leave it to one of any number of Feisbook users to do that to me? Perhaps we need to be clear about this, because it's going to last a while.

It may foil the spammers but it scares the sht out of me.
