"My name is Cong and I am a chat-a-holic"#
"Hi cong..."

Most of you a probably tittering at the very idea of chat forums annonymous. But the addictive nature of these forums is becoming an ever increasing problem. Recently I have found myself spending every spare minute in these forums, either desrperately trying to up my position in the top 100 posters from the last 30 days leaderboard, or even worse than that, causing my eyes and my brain untold damage in my desperate attempts to get another hit of 'GAD'.

These endless hours spent desperately trying to find something funny to say, has taken it's toll on all other aspects of my life. My managerment career in Championship Manager 2001/02 has sufferend and i am now stuck with Farnborough.

My physical health has detriorated too. My eyes are red raw and the ends of my fingers sore from typing.My butt has doubled in size where I have been sat on it all day and night and my friends have ostracised me.

Therefore I think these forums should henceforth carry suffienct warnings about the effect they can have on your life. If not I will be going to the newspapers to alert people of this alarming new trend.

What use would a non-hanger shape coat hanger have?

I don't know... I was wearing it at the time, so perhaps I did.

Perhaps it was bent into some sort of non-hanger shape.

What the hell I used the coat hanger for, I doubt I'll ever really know.

I'll have to take a pretty damn close guess, mind.

Warning - Chatting on UKchatforums can cause Gobbledegook. Look for confused expressions on the faces of friends and family. Moderate abbreviations accordingly and avoid leaping from one subject to another.

Why thank you greatly. :P

Anyone else ever found themselves on the verge of saying 'LOL' in real life when someone says something funny? How embarassing :S

Amen

:( I don't know what to call myself - a newbie or a Regular! Ah well, all will be right with the world when I become a Regular. There's this damn n00b on the Web Design Forums, trying to "teach the Regular's a lesson". Pa-bloody-thetic! :D
