&lt;/table&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div class="ajtext"&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Adam is a DJ, probably a bit goth and has a beard. You can see evidence of all of these in the photo, especially the beard. Quite interestingly, this is the first time I've known him to be really happy to have a picture taken of him, as he is usually on the other side of &lt;a href="www.amodelofcontrol.com"&gt;the camera&lt;/a&gt;. Already we have evidence for the great restorative power of confectionary and beverages.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;He's also got 614 friends of his Facebook friends list. So if he tried something like this he'd probably die. Or get fat.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I asked the question of him "what is the best album you know of, that you think I'll have never heard of?" Sadly, he was then distracted by football, but I'm sure he'll supply his answer electronically below, and also provide a question for me to ask the next person I visit.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;What else is there about Adam? He's the most prolific Livejournal poster I remember, and think he was either almost shot once, or was actually shot. I forget the precise details.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If I was a better planner I would have got a picture of Daisy, Adam's girlfriend, at the same time. However, she wasn't actually drinking tea at the time, so this is probably against the rules.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Sometimes they are good ideas, like combining duck, balsamic vinger and honey. Sometimes they are bad ideas, like combining beer, beer and more beer. Sometimes they are fairly simple ideas.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Like, for example, the fact that although &lt;a href="www.facebook.com"&gt;Facebook&lt;/a&gt; is meant to be a social network, I'm probably less social because of it. This is due to wasting too much time on Facebook. There are people listed on there that I've met once. There are people on there I've never met. It's just not right.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So to reverse this trend, I'd quite like to visit every friend on my Facebook friends list and:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Have a cup of tea.&lt;br /&gt;
2. Have a chat.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Take a picture of us.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
Various more scandalous suggestions for what I could do to people on my friend's list did present themselves to my mind, until I realised that a number of people on aforementioned list were:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;1. Male.&lt;br /&gt;
2. A member of my family.&lt;br /&gt;
3. Male AND a member of my family.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;
So this is &lt;a href="http://www.facebook.com/people/Andrew_Jacklin/199700526"&gt;my&lt;/a&gt; little quest for the next block of time, let's see how it goes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1068895769065233411-7918355117158630662?l=biscuitquest.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://biscuitquest.blogspot.com/feeds/7918355117158630662/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=1068895769065233411&amp;postID=7918355117158630662' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068895769065233411/posts/default/7918355117158630662'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/1068895769065233411/posts/default/7918355117158630662'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://biscuitquest.blogspot.com/2008/10/why.html' title='Why?'/><author><name>Andrew</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15365187314479968068</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry></feed>
