Pebbs and Demon

I Missed the last one due to being out of the country - but i'd love to be considered for this one.
i'm sure I can be vouched for by a few peeps on here if need be

and the saddest thing of all is that it is still going on in the world.
The sight of Iraqi's flooding tothe prisons and the mass dis - interring of body after body is one that i won't forget in a hurry!
Makes you wonder when we will ever learn

I'd agree with Ice Pie
I also work for a Mobile Phone Company, and even I get all the monthly bumph through with my bills. Not one bit of it has any relevance to me. Competitions that I cannot enter because I'm an employee of that company, Things to allow me to switch to a better tarriff ( even though no public tarriff will ever beat the staff one) etc etc etc. Trust me, I begin to worry when my compsny is not averse to making a fast buck at my expense and selling my information on to other companies.
The main reason why O2 are giving away "free" sims is that the mobile phone has reached market saturation, and this is about the only way now, that thye can manage to squeeze a few more shekels from an otherwise overloaded market. You don't think they'd be giving them away out of the goodness of their hearts now do you? Nothing in life is free.
My own company has gone from being wildly keen to sign up all and sundry to now wanting to look after what they class as high value customers. We had an email from the chief executive at the beginning of last year - exhorting us to get our friends and family to spend "one minute" more on each phone call, and to try out new data products - all so theiy could pull in more money. So with this in mind - I'd say to you - leave voicemail messages when calling company mobiles - it's a darn sight quicker, and cheaper to boot!

Apologies to Roger
I wasn't aware this one had originated here - I got it in an email funny of all places. All credit where it's due.....and I'll get my coat!

Any chance of a provisional invite. I'm a newbie - but known to a few of the attendees who will hopefully vouch for me.
I say provisional at the moment as I'm flying back in from Los Angeles on the 17th, and a lot depends on how good I've been when it comes to my shopping money ( well it has to be done !!!)
thanks

I'd be quite interested to find out myself bearing in mind it's pretty much just round the corner from me - I'm getting a good impression from the website - but of course that never matches first hand experience.
I hope it gets some good feedback as it's nice to finally discover a club on my doorstep!

I'd also agree - i do miss the emotional attachment, but having said that - i'm more than happy being a single guy. Yes - we do get it hard in the lifestyle - but i do know that for all the moaning that generally goes on - there are plenty of couples and single ladies who respect us for what we are. The hardships we face are mainly down to the rogue element of idiot single blokes who have not yet grasped the concepts of reading a profile, taking time to digest the contents, and then thinking carefully before replying.
Personally I'm in this lifestyle, first and foremost of the friendships i make, and the social side - anything else that happens is just a pleasant bonus.
Another strange thing I've noticed recently ( tosser single males read and take note!) since being diagnosed with hodgkins - I've kind of taken a step back from playing, and since doing that I've noticed that I've been getting a hell of a lot more replies to my ad. I guess if ever there was proof that sometimes not trying to hard pays dividends, then this is it - seven good replies in just over a week!
So on the whole - i'd say - yes i'm satisfied with what i have, and what i am!
Kevin
For me?
Well i'm torn between two
Brooke Dunne - Not a name that is totally mainstream - but she is the most sweetest, gorgeous looking porn star going - and she sucks with a look like you just know she's enjoying every minute of it.
The other is more home grown, and still semi amatuer - Janeyweb. I'm lucky in that she and her hubby have been friends of mine for a few years now. Not only is she utterly gorgeous ( and filthy) but she is a real salt of the earth character - check her out ( )

Thankfully my Tarting days are over. I'm still a relative newbie in the chatroom - although i do seem to have gained a bit of a cheering section along the lines :P
just wanted to post a reply to this while it was fresh in my mind - i'll post a proper intro soon
kbuk
Fair point - But the real problem is - how many newcomers would know to do this, and should nickserv not be sending these activation messages correctly first time everytime?
i'm trying to approach this from the viewpoint of a newbie, and so far i have to say the experience is not the most enjoyable! It seems like you have to jump through hoops.

I've got to say - About time!
I've so far had nothing but grief trying to get into the chat room, and it is this alone that has so far made me give up on ever using the chatroom. I have followed the procedures to the letter, and no joy. The email that is allegedly sent to my registered email address never arrives. Just in case it was a problem with my email addy accepting email from starchat - Attempted to drop, release, and recover my nick - but two out of the three commands are unknown on the server, and i cannot re-register the nick to another email addy! as you can see - the frustration mounts and mounts. I'm an 8 year veteran of using IRC, a channel op on other servers - so i would not class myself as a newbie, However - If i'm having this problem - I can only imagine how annoyed the newcomers are feeling.
I do appreciate what you are trying to achieve with the registered nick scenario - but thus far it appears to be more of a stumbling block then an added security bonus. At the end of the day - to anyone trying to access the chatroom for the first time, I have to say it does somewhat smack of elitism, and leaves one feeling generally unwanted.
none of this is meant as a dig - but i just had to voice a few concerns, in the hope they are taken on board in the manner they re intended
cheers

Hi Everyone
I'm a long time lurker - First time poster.
Looks like i've picked jus the most ideal thread to make my posting debut. This Is something i can VERY definitely relate to!
Got back from Iraq not so long ago, and have to admit I was ready for a majpr amount of downtime, and de-stressing. My faves and most effectives have got to be music - nothing i find calms a fragile mind like music - Love Play Dead by Bjork and David Arnold, a lot of Andrea Bocelli. Give me a darkened room with mood lighting, a Bose hi fi, and some cushions - pretty soon you'd find me in heaven
Walking also does it for me - long walks in the lake district, and it absolutely has to be in the pouring rain! don't ask why - it's just the way it goes! I suppose i have a rain "thing" going on - because i can even loose myself string and listening to falling rain!
Oh - and i just remembered - the simpsons - I just can't get enough of Homer. I've wasted more than a few weekends watching backk to back episodes!
guess i'm no different to anyone else really lol
kevin
p.s - hope this was of sufficient length for a cherry breaker! lol
