I don’t know about you, but it’s hard to imagine life without the internet now. What would fill the hours?
How would lonely guys find girls?

How would anyone find porn? Go to the newsagent and buy it? Heaven forbid. Oh, and if you try to tell me that one of the first things you didn’t do on getting on the net for the first time was ‘have a look for some of this pornography everyone’s talking about’ then your toungue will turn black and fall out!

Of course one of the great things about the net is the ability to speak to weirdos all over the globe:

That reminds me of the time, not long after we first went online, when we spent a bit of time in chatrooms (it was nearly 10 years ago).

As I was sitting next to her, I took over with a series of somewhat ambiguous come-ons and getting him in such a lather that he actually gave us his mobile number. It was at that point I said I was a guy, and thought he was into guys too (at no point had we suggested our character was female) and I swear we heard the scream down the phone line as he logged off and probably burnt his computer as well. Poor guy, wonder if he ever told anyone?
