I have been looking at iamcal for a while now (can't remember where I got the link from) and have been reading and watching long enough to be amused and form enough of a picture of the people on here that I am starting to feel like a stalker.

Best I get of my fat harris and say something then, thunk I.

How's it going, and why have you been letting a load of dipsticks start threads on your intro page? The quality of new people posts is significantly lower than I am used to reading! Maybe I just don't check the intro page enough....

Hello Mr. Lesnar.

Hey. Not completely sure how to respond to that as I am still laughing at your "I am wanking while I write this" post in the "dreaming of the afterlife" bit.

Classy.

Yes. I'm a classy lassy.

So. How is it possible for you lot to spend quite time typing (in a respectful and understanding way) bollocks to each other without running out of cash and having your electric cut off? Methinks my life sucks, and I need to do more illegal stuff. They make me go to work ALL day and EVERYTHING. The bastards.

Jesus. Billy-bob ham-fisted seems to have re-typed that before I hit the post button.

Damn his hide.

Read "quite so much time".

Some of us (most I think) post at work or uni then and at home as well. Alot of us are really sad individuals.

It's quite easy: it's called living at home when you're 43. Or higher education.

Or alternatively by taking some nice money laundering offers from friendly Nigerian people who address you as "My Good Friend" and carry on with "Would you like to help me get some money in to the EU so we can found an orphanage?"

Our office (such as it is) is kind of open plan. Although some less charitable types would call it to damn small for any partitions. So there isn't much hiding I can do. So they make me work.

Boo.

Just kill all your fellow employees in funny ways (make sure you take some webcam snaps and tell us the URL) then you'll have the office all to yourself. No horrible glares for you.

erm, arsepuppy? I have just found another thread where you randomly bring up masturbation (Fav xmas sweet). Am I perhaps uncovering an obsession, or merely a healthy hobby?

I'm in an open plan office. The trick is to keep the browser taking up the bottom right of the screen. Then a slight adjustment of bodily position and a paranoid mind helps for great furtive surfing

Don't worry - it's a recurrent theme here. Just sit back, unzip your pants and let Mr Floppy meet Mr Jalopey (that's your hand, btw).

When the MD walks out of his office, he is almost directly behind me. And he is a nosey bastard, so no dice. Also, www.talk-bollocks.com does a really bad impression of a bit of engine in a CAD package. Bit on the obvious side.

Hence, surf at home until the time to retire to the public house and quaff a sizeable quantity of ale.

Hurrah!

Christ, I've managed to bore people away from a thread. And it was ME that started it.

Please don't dribble into your keyboards whilst you snooze, I would feel a mite of guilt if you set your own hair on fire or something.

Well. Not my fault. You won't let me write on the interesting threads! I'll try again another day..

To the Pub!!! (receding sounds of thirsty footsteps...)

Why wasnt you in the pub before now? Normal people go straight to the battle cruiser from work!

Because I drink too much, and that is the road to loneliness and disaster. I live about 60metres from my nearest pub (and 65 from my second nearest) so I must force myself to ignore them until I have eaten and done such chores to keep myself alive so that I may go to the pub later wihtout fear of alienating the opposite sex with excessive stinkyness etc...

It's so hard living in a town centre...
