    NetTalkers

    Hi guys,

    Yet another brit on your forum.

    Anyone here (I already know John R) who liked to take a look at NetTalk on the UK site Monoptica?

    Then you will all understand the meaning of moaning Brits. If only moaning was at the olympics we would stand a chance of winning something.

    Looking forward to the day it stops raining over here.

    10 Pence Short.

    Well, you've made yourself at home here pretty quickly. After only two posts, you are sharing your bathing habits with us! ;) Just don't electrocute yourself; computers and bathtubs don't mix well. It being February, you should really look into finding yourself a warm bath.

    Thumbs up 10 pence short

    Good to have you on board with us! John R has that great "moaning" thread that keeps me going. I should add one about the ice skating judge at the Olympics that took away the gold from the Canadian pairs figure skaters but I won't get into that sticky one.

    Question

    10 Pence Short,

    You know you are going to have to explain "Trainee Witchfinder," don't you? That has to be one of the most unique user profile entries I have seen.

    Exclamation

    Witchfinder General was a contributor on the NetTalk forum on the UK site Monoptica, if anyone knows it.

    Not someone you would want to mess with if you couldn't prove to be 'an innocent'. Well known for his BURNING and DROWNING (ask John R how infamous he was!!)

    Anyhow, thanks for the welcome guys, just chillin to the fine sounds of AC DC in concert, beer in hand, thinking thank god for the day we now know as 'friday'.

    If anyone needs a translator I can be hired for two bottles of Bud a day + expenses.

    You lot seem approximately 87.4% happier than the doom spreaders in the UK. Must be the lack of continuous grey skies!

    It's cold out here because I went out to fetch some milk and locked myself out.;)

    Oh, and jo- I wish you'd told me the thing about electricity and baths BEFORE I got into the damn thing.

    I've now got a hair style like a cross between a 1970s Richard Prior and Edward Scissorhands (plus a now steaming bath).

    Mind you, after trying to keep my hair dry in the shower using a hair dryer, you think I'd have learned.:hammer:

    It's cold out here because I'm creating a home ice skating rink in my kitchen to replicate the 'SkaterGate' scandal of the 2002 winter Olympics.

    You do speak better English than John R, yet you both come from Yorkshire. So, there really isn't a language barrier it's all just John.

    Be careful with that hairdryer. If you were to read the warnings on the box it came with, you would find that hairdryers can be dangerous. That's a smoking gun you are handling.

    **NEWSFLASH**

    Police are on the lookout for two males believed to have been involved in a daring robbery.

    The public have being warned not to approach the men, believed to be armed with pump action Loreal hairdryers and a portable bath.

    **END OF FLASHING**

    It's cold out here because the loin cloth I was wearing was eaten by my pet lion.
