Well I was going to bed an hour and a half ago.

Events overtook me.

I started receiving Facebook messages referring to me as a fat pig/bastard with somewhat threatening (or at least I thought so) content.

They were from a “friend”.

This is not a Facebook friend, he owns a restaurant I used on occasion in Chizhou so I know him in real life.

I asked a question only my real friend could answer and received nothing but further abuse. I was pretty sure the perpetrator was the very same who cut my e-bike cable in Chizhou but I cannot do anything because of course Facebook doesn't exist here so I can hardly report it.

After toying for a while with the coward (and of course he is, he is anonymous) I sent a text to the owner of the Facebook account advising him that he had either been hacked or had mental issues.

This is where it gets even more odd. The reply was “fuck you!!!”

How does someone hack BOTH an FB and a mobile account?

Is that possible? Assuming that in fact the originator is the person who owns both accounts, why? Ok so I never ate there that often but when I did I spent good money and always had a nightcap with the owner and a natter.

Not many things rattle me (and I shall sleep soundly in my bed) but this gives pause for thought.

Whilst typing this I have just received a reply from Kevin, currently sunning himself in his Philippines chalet, to the effect that the last time he saw the owner he felt he had some mental problems.

Maybe I have been barking up every tree bar the right one? Maybe I will never know.

If that is the truth of it then I need to weave it into the book I keep threatening to write!
