Skiffle: Wilfred usually types. About as well as Diesel. ;-)

Jon: how many keyboards have you got through on this Fforum since you joined?

Amateurs built the Ark. Professionals built the Titanic. And somebody really strange (even by OUR standards :-) built that letter-writing website...

I'll second that. It reminds me of Douglas Hofstadter's computerised random sentence generator. Or Vogon poetry.

And I didn't even post the rudest one, which included an offer to perform an unspeakable act with a german shepherd to win your love.

Ha! Nothing... ;-)

Oh alright, the furthest I've gone to secure somebody's heart is to walk seven miles in the middle of the night to recreate the balcony scene from Romeo & Juliet.

Well, mostly recreate it. I can't remember the actual bit about shinning up a downpipe and picking the lock to get into her room, but the balcony was definitely involved...

You got involved with a balcony ? How is that physically possible ?

Well, I climbed up onto it. It was the next stage that seriously departed from the script.

Stop trying to be rude (that's my job!)

Hmm, good point, well made. I'm just easily shocked. (Oh all right - it's because I can't compete, dammit)

According to the following quiz I have 'probably never been on a computer before'. Ha! How little they know...

Skiffle doesn't _try_ to be smutty, PSD, she can do it entirely naturally.

And you should see our friend Iain B. I reckon he could even make you blush.
