I hate

Same here. I reckon anything over 400 friends is just bollox. No one has more than 400 real friends. My american cousin has 1700++.

I tend to be very selective about my 'friends'.

Perfect examples Ive just seen on friends page -

Victoria is now friends with E*** B*** Lewis and 3 other people.
Victoria is now friends with C*** C*** and 10 other people.
Victoria is now friends with K*** L*** N*** and 10 other people.

Really?.... Where did you meet them all - A facebook friending party?
