Downtime

摘要

Facebook has the power to connect users with anyone, anywhere - even a murderer in a Guernsey jail. Craig Rouget, who was convicted of murder in the island's capital of St Peter Port in 2007 when he was 18, was determined not to be dead to the world. He was keeping up to date with his friends by connecting to the social networking site using a mobile phone. That was until his keepers discovered what he was up to and killed the connection. No more live updates for him. News that British submarine HMS Vanguard got up close and personal with French counterpart Le Tri-omphant in the Atlantic recently reminded Downtime of that old submariners' prayer, "From things that go bump in the night, good Lord, deliver us".
