Actually, I'm only online for a little bit longer...it's 1.10am here and I've got some things to do tomorrow.

Went out for a curry and some drinks tonight.....good night

I'll catch you again at some stage.

No worries. Bloody daylight saving

Hmmmm curry. Not had a 'proper' one for a while. Guy at work told me about a good take-away place but it's a 25 minute drive, which kinda defeats the object.

This was a good 'un...not the best I've had here, but probably the most English style curry.....and at a fairly reasonable price

And who is James Boag?

Can't say I'm a huge fan on James but I'll sink a few if offered. It's rude to say no, that's what I was always told.

I post for loads of reasons...to give information, to get information, to catch up on how people are doing, to take a break from reality sometimes. The main reason is that I'm just an internet junkie

I post whether my life is going well or not so well.

I post to keep in touch with numerous people I have 'met' on this forum over the past 5 years (I think) in various forms and alter-egos.

I post because, whether I like it or not, and sometimes against my better judgement, this forum is actually part of my life.

I post to occasionally give some useful information.

I post to burst some bubbles and the provoke a reaction.

I post probably because of egotistical reasons, when it comes down to it, but I'd never admit that here.

I think you just did. But don't worry, I don't think anyone noticed.

Hell ... that's pretty damn close to my reasons.

I'd like to add that it's also a chill-out tim for me late at night ( when I'm usually on.)

When I'm not at work, sleeping, in the pub, at football, at the gym or eating I find it an experience to talk to you lot. It's listening to you that's the hard bit! Well some of you anyway

Default Re: Why do you post ?

reasons I post!

to have a laugh with like minded people and make friends for oz
to avoid doing things I know I should but don't want to
to give and receive information
to pass the time of day with nice people
to take my mind off bad things
to share good things
to have a whinge
to have a rant
because I'm an addict!
