I hope the ironicy of my response was not lost! I am happy to disagree on anything you like :D I can also be interesting. Did you know for example that natural gas has no odour and it an artificially smell is added so that gas leaks are detectable.

How's my start going :(

If fact, we quite like opinionated argumentative types - prefer them to the licky-sucky types anyway. No, the thing to remember is rather than be nice, be interesting. Have something to say for yourself (beyond "yeh I luv Chris Moyles innit lol") and be prepared to fight your corner. Being nice isn't a requirement at all, having a reasonable vocabulary and some ability to use it probably is.

Spot and indeed on.

Well, a few things - first ironicy? What?? I'm astonished Topher missed that one. Be thankful I got to you before s4b too. And no, it wasn't lost - but the irony of my subsequent response apparently was, so the jury's still out!

I learned about the natural gas thing at school as well, which people here will tell you was in the olden days, when ladies carried parasols and wore long dresses, so I'm also not sure that qualifies as interesting, not in this century anyway.

Oh look, I can't do this any more - sorry fids, hallo and nice to meet you.

Ironic - Irony - Ooops - should really learn to stick with the first sentence I write and not go back to re-phrase stuff. Don't tell me we have 'spelling and grammar experts' on here. Lovely, nothing better than being pulled up on an Internet Message board constantly!

As for artificial gas smells being a widely held view, I can assure you it isn't - Whilst trying to maintain a persona of mystery, it is linked to my career and from my experience of working with trainees within my industry, I would suggest that only around 25% of the population of the UK are aware...well someone did suggest I should be prepared to defend myself, even if it is boring :D

Can I suggest the regulars post a summary up so we (the newbies) know and understand who everyone is and how this all works. But rather than post about yourself, post about someone else! That should cause a few rifts :)

-Foot-loose is Scottish, but i'm sure he's a really nice person

-Cat has Curley Hair

-S4B doesn't have Curley Hair

-Bruvva's real name is Simon

-Topher is short for 'Christopher', (and i actually only got that about 2 months ago...)

-Ezza likes hats

-Console doesn't like Blatent lies. He's also alergic to the colour purple (and other Whoopi Goldberg films)

-Viv likes swimming in Scotland

-Yudster is still our Queen, although it has been rumored that Foot-loose may wish to overthrow her.

-Kendra K is an American Librarian

-Sunny So Cal is a mother

-Nicola Red is unforgetable (thats what you are...)

-Timp is very modest about his knitting skills

-AndyJ is called Andy

-ballbag wants to know why you keep typing in this format, it's highly annoying, and a waste of keystrokes your end.

Chris Harris is the Fascist Admin (apparently)
Console is his SS style henchman
Topher is a ping-ponger player from Milton Keynes with no credit card debt at all, he'll have you know
Zoot is just a boy who can't say no - although he's learning fast
Foot Loose is a sofa from Paisley who has a dog.
Charlalottie is a nymphet from Kent - take care, she bites
Catherine is an ASBO girl from Birmingham - she won't bite, but she'll eat you alive and use your fingerbones to pick her teeth
Bonanzoid is a Scotchland student - they're the worst type apparently.
Kendra is a vegan librarian with unexpectedly curly hair, and hails from the foggy bit of California
Sunny So Cal is a tiny little person from the sunny bit of California
S4B knows books and red wine

Someone else can fill you in on some of the others, this is too hard for me.

Actually I was just continuing Zoots format of people descriptions. As far as the chat room goes, I've explained. I talk when I can and when I have something to say. If I'm just commenting, it's an easier way of not getting properly involved in a conversation. Just as everyone used to do in IRC chat - from which the /me command is modelled.

"/me" is very much overused in our chat room.

Meh - if it's causing offence I'll stop using it so much.
