    Big data reveals who you are

    We don't seem to have done facebook likes reveal who you are yet.

    surely this is obvious. If our profiled cretin buys a particular car (say a Toyota 86) we can assume that other purchasers of Toyota 86's have a strong probability of also being a cretin.
    merely at clientco for the entertainment

    Yes a lot of it is obvious. Would any bloke ever admit to liking Chris de Burgh for example?

    (saying that as part of a chat up routine is sort of allowed, but only marginally)

    Gay guys apparently like Mac Cosmetics and "Wicked," the musical. For straight guys, it's Shaq, Wu-Tang Clan and "being confused after waking up from naps."
    Never heard of Mac Cosmetics or "Wicked".

    Haven't a clue who Shaq and Wu-Tang Clan are either.

    But I will admit to "being confused after waking up from naps."

    Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.

      I don't do duncebook or twitface or whatever they're called. Those sites are for narcisstic cretins who have no friends, only acquantainces or "followers".

      As for who buys the 86, that's easy: self-confident people who like driving fun and don't give a crap about badges. Real motorists in other words, not posers.

        Me too, but only briefly and only if it's in someone else's bedroom

          Doesn't count if you were confused before you started your nap....

            Surely then you're just wondering what you came into your bedroom for, then wandering back downstairs for a cup of tea.

              and if you wet yourself at anytime in that sequence then big data isn't your biggest problem.

                If they ever start mining our cuk posts we're in trouble...
                While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

                  So far I've only seen 2 of them. One inside a shopping centre being displayed by the dealership and one in the carpark of Wella, in fact the hairdresser school part...
                  Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.

                    It's the porsche 924 of the 21st century.
                    944 S2 was a nice car mind. So there's hope.
