I love Facebook. As a British ex-pat in New Zealand, I regard Facebook as an essential line of communication with friends on the other side of the world.

So look, I do spend a considerable amount of time on social media. But sometimes, for someone as tragically anal as myself, this can be a challenging and torturous experience.
