Stalkee & Co

I've created a new LJ tool thing which basically compares your friends and friend-ofs lists and lists the differences. This is all just information that's on your profile page anyway, but it makes it easier to see who of your friends haven't friended you, etc. Also of course you can check it for people than other yourself. Gives a flavour of who's stalking / being stalked by whom, who not-so-secretly hates whom, etc etc...

This is fairly pointless, but then it didnt take very long to write, so hey.

The usual caveat about how if you've got loads of friends it might take a while to chug, and about how the data is cached so doesn't reflect very recent changes, apply. Any requests for additional features / improvements / bugs etc?

Here's mine:

They fly so high

Good Lord, West Ham have just signed Argentinina World Cup stars Mascherano and Tevez. Both 22 years old, Olympic gold medals, 20-odd caps each, South American honours coming out of their ears (Tevez has been South American footballer of the year for the last three years running).

Have I maybe fallen through into a different universe? Up till now our record signing was Dean Ashton from Norwich, who for all his many fine qualities has never been described convincingly as the new Maradona. How much we paid for this pair hasn't been disclosed, but a couple of years ago they were worth $15M and $22.6M respectively.

This feels like a coup to rival Spurs's signing of Ardiles and Villa back in 78. What on earth is going on down Green Street? -- a couple of days ago we were getting excited about going in for Steed Malbranque, for goodness sake. I can only guess that Scaloni must have put in a very good word indeed during the World Cup...
