I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you. I like you...

Flash by name, Flash By Nature! Hurrah!
(and he liked a lot..)
Frottage alert!
Not so much a solution looking for a problem, as a solution inviting a slap round the chops...
Bwahahahaha!
Sort of a "digital glory hole" when they thrust up against a wall!
Should one submit this
For an Ig Nobel prize in engineering?
"is that an NFC buckle on your belt ... our do you just like me?"
So they've spent plenty of time looking for a real use for NFC, all the time it was staring them in the face - somehow link it to Facebook.

This is just one more POS for an increasingly BRAIN-DEAD bunch of idiots, who have the childish notion that they have to "like" things. Schmuckerberg has managed to dumb-down nearly 1bn people...how sad for the future of this planet.
Can these Lemmings be any more pathetic? No.

I used to be a member of the Fireball Club. I wonder if it's now safe to reveal the secret information that Fireball's uncle was actually..

I used to read Warlord myself. Imagine my surprise when I found out that Lord Peter Flint's nephew was really...
