Taken from another thread....

LOL meow oo what would you come back as if you could start BE again? and how do you think you are perceived on here (not just for Meow)?

I have some very funny mental pictures of peoples personas on here- and having met many of you I know they are completely off- but in cyberworld and my mental image it works- Meow- yours involves a latex catsuit and a cat o nine tails lol MEOW! ( this doesnt mean I have a girl crush on you mind!)

I am sure I am seen as an annoying old bat, but I have probably met more posters than most others, so I hope the real me is a bit nicer. I think I've even been useful on the odd occasion.

I just like to play devil's advocate from time to time as I have no tolerance for people who cannot substantiate their comments. On other days I just like to be difficult for fun.

Would I do it differently? Not really. It's been too much fun and I am not too bothered by those who take everything I say too seriously and don't get the sarcasm or humour. I might not wear so much latex in this heat though.


I have spent far too much time in cyberworld over the years and am rarely that surprised when I meet people. You're just all more ugly in the real world.

I'd have met a few more of you. And preferably in circumstances where booze was allowed.

I've swapped PMs with a fair few of you over the years and Meow helped out my wife a lot at a time when her bank were being completely useless (and thank you again for that, Meow!), but my BE meeting rate so far is just one in Dubai (now left the bored sadly), one in Abu Dhabi, three in Saudi and two in the mists of time forgotten, pre-Sandpit (one of whom I met in Dubai since, one I haven't yet but hope to when I'm back).

I'm fatter in person but better looking.

Fact. This will be substantiated on Thursday.

From a looks point of view I am sure I have surprised and disappointed in equal measure.

If I could have my time again on BE I would like to try and come across as a little taller.

I think I would come as an 18 year old female 38D nymphomaniac who needs just a few dollars to pay off my wicked uncles financial hold over me.

I'm exactly the same in real life, flat, two dimensional, black and white and often found with a pipe in my mouth...just taller.

Its when it moves from an occasional thing to a habit is when you need to worry.

Anyhow why not set up a new account, an alternative for when you really need to be controversial without people knowing who you are...hmmmm

Hmmm... I don't think I could actually be anything else even if I tried... my personality would come crashing through any persona I may cook up.

Anyhow, I always have to smile when I encounter a forum member and they invariably come out with a vaguely quizzical look and "oh, you're Hello Kitty!" quickly followed by "you're not at all as I imagined..."

Never quite get to bottom of what they may have imagined though...
