MySpace - Even Yianni's got a page

As part of the altrinchamlife.co.uk network I want to create a MySpace page, all the cool kids have one and I think altrinchamlife should be no different!

But no, however I try to sign up for an account I get the same error message...

"We’re sorry. Based on the information you have submitted to us, you are ineligible to register on MySpace.com"

How on earth has MySpace become the giant that it is today when ordinary people can't even create an account. The only conclusion I can come to is that I am too old for MySpace and by putting in my real date of birth I have set all sorts of alarms off at MySpace HQ which is clearly run my teenagers!



Whilst venting my frustration with MySpace I did come across some altrincham related pages, including the one and only Yianni, my Barber! Yanni is a legend in his own Barbers Shop and is one of life's true characters. I could easily spend all day in his shop putting the world to rights and sorting out the latest political, social or car related issue. He has an opinion on absolutely everything, sometimes even your hair! I will never forget the first time I ventured into Yianni's Shop and the legend himself looked at my hair in puzzled disbelief. I thought he was thinking "you've let it get a bit long" but when I asked him if that's what he was thinking he replied quite clearly, "no what I was thinking was WHAT THE F*CK HAPPENED TO YOU!". I won't bore you with the details, but suffice to say, he knows his stuff when it comes to hair, cars, politics, bad jokes and how to entertain! You can find Yianni on Hale Road, here is a picture of his shop.

What was a rant about rubbish MySpace, turned into an advert for Yianni's, funny how blogs go!
