    My 'other half' thinks I'm sad... Does yours?

    My missus thinks this is a 'chat room'... Grrr

    "That's all you do" springs to mind.

    Anyone else get the same problem? Does your 'beloved' think Hexus is an MSN chatroom? "Where they pick up kids, and all"

    If you're not living on the edge, you take up too much room

    trying to educate my missus into the dark side of pcs. so much so i bought her a £1200 laptop (although it is more powerful than my desktop and has a rad 9200 in it, so there was an ulterior motive )

    she still thinks i'm sad coming on here, although she's quite happy when i win online races

    Same here. She slags me off for spending hours at the PC, yet she sees nothing wrong with being glued to the TV watching tripe like Big Brother and the various mind-numbing Soaps she can't bear to miss................ .

    Chat Room..pah....we SHOUT in here

    Funnily enough the idea of a FOrum us blummin hard to explain til you've experienced it. Online Community sums it up best.

    Either my missus is ok about it no suprise there though really....she had zero choice

    Mine would never think so as we met over MSN and IRC which makes her just as sad as me

    Well my flatmate complains when he sees me on Hexus.

    I dont know quite why though as he himself spends a lot of his time on the net checking the temperatures of some obscure places in America (he's a weather freak ).

    This forum thing is kind of addictive though specially at Hexus. Luckily I only really frequent one forum other wise I'd never get anything done.

    I've never got the attitude that watching soaps is acceptable, but playing games/surfing the intarweb is sad...

    My wife knew what I was like - I'm on the computer while she watches the soaps (and all the other nonsense) - simple
    Now go away before I taunt you a second time.
