More hassle. More work. <\/p>\n<p>And Facebook only allows me to enter one cell phone, automatically removing the cell phone on my other Facebook account; apparently one person = one Facebook account =  one cell phone number. I currently have 4 Facebook accounts. But on the upside, I may never need to spend energy on resolving this, cos Facebook may become irrelevant&#8230; n&#8217;est-ce pas? How one botched IPO can change the outlook of a company, is quite mind-boggling.  <\/p>\n<p><strong>Music:<\/strong> My favourite band this summer is Boy.
