I remember the first time I talked to an internet weirdo on the phone. I was desperately trying to talk Gods Plumber out of the killing spree he was planning. To this day I'm not certain if I was successful or not.

I'm quite willing to phone you if you like, as I am now quite intrigued about what you sound like too. Pink recorded my voice the other day, and it sounded a bit more scouse than I thought it did, and even he seemed surprised by how it sounded on tape. I'm sure it's not as exciting as you seem to think though, so don't get your hopes up.
I remember the first time I spoke to Pink on the phone, I was really nervous and he sounded really well spoken, and completely different from anyone I'd ever spoken to before, and it was quite strange after spending so long talking on msn.

I think the biggest shock I got speaking to someone from the internet was when I first met Dr Benway. I was expecting - judging by his eloquent and clear minded posts - him to be well spoken, calm voiced and classy. Instead, he sounded like a car thief.

I am actually quite up for this, though it would be a bit odd. Also, I am now slightly worried that I'm one of the mad people missgolightly attracts.
I sound quite northern. My flat vowels are back.

Presumably there would have been a report of a mass killing afterwards, if not.
Unless this is some sort of tmo in-joke I don't get.

I can say that because ben and I laugh about it now, but when somebody takes nearly two minutes to say "hello how are you", it becomes very uncomfortable if you're not used to it.

How about we email each other a bit first, or talk on msn, sort of build up to it, otherwise I think I may just be able to say "erm, hello, I'm missgolightly" in a nervous voice before I get scared and run out of things to say. My email/msn is elevatorgirlace@hotmail.com

Deal. It's a while since I've had an internet project thingummy of any sort. We can start with talking about people on TMO and then gradually branch out into other conversations before crossing the phone barrier. Cool! My MSN thingummy is latzer@gmail.com, but I only downloaded it a week ago and I haven't used it yet and I have no friends.
Also, my laptop is Skype enabled or something but I don't know what it does.

Just like internet dating. Schweet!

Cool, sounds like fun. Our pc has skype too apparently, but I've never used it. At least we'll have a bit of time to figure it out, right? Posts: 710

We had a Skype-a-thon a way back. It was excellent. I like that your laptop is 'skype enabled' - lol. Some consumers are suckers. They should have stuck a glossy starry sticker on it that said 'runs programs' or 'computery and shizzle'

I remember when I was a skypin' with mickey and hipey, and I totally forgot my skypequette and belched loudly into the mic. What a dreadfully embarassing thing to do. I think I laughed like a retard who just found his dick.

Sure did. It was a mere three inches in the city, but once it had been shovelled off the pavements and pushed up by the cars, it was about 3ft in the gutters, meaning an icy scramble whenever crossing the road.

Sounds like fun! At least it was enough to cover the trash that usually lines the streets. It probably even gave the homeless a festive look.

A whizz around the harbour to Ellis Island is groovy - the immigration place is pretty hardcore Go to the Rainbow Rooms on the 67th floor of the Rockerfeller Center for a drink at sundown and watch the lights come on. Go to Henry Bendels department store. Metropolitan Museum of Art, especially the entire wing holding a temple MoMA (listen out for Woody Allen intellectual types, and have lunch in any of the cafes. mmm) Guggenheim Walk around Soho, the West Village, East Village, and buy loads of lovely things

That's all excellent good stuff! unfortunately I'd be going with someone who's been to NY many times and only really wants to hit the shops, but hopefully I could persuade her into doing a few touristy things as well.
Did you visit the statue of Liberty or Empire State Building? Meatpacking district?

Didn't go to the Sof L, as you can't go up it due to being an Islamic Terrorist threat. ESB is good, but you get a better view from the Rockerfeller Center, as you can see ESB from there.
I tried to go to the top of a couple of tall towers, but couldn't find them. I got some right funny looks when I asked directions and pointed to a map.

Are you dissing my computer buying skillz there, Mikee? And I have a Skype logo. I assume I buy some form of headset, plug it in, click the logo and suddenly I am in the middle of scintillating conversation about the Finnish military and Dang's reflections on Sven Hasselhoff or whatever his name is?

Not at all. I'm dissing the cynical marketing ploy of people who stick a 'skype enabled' sticker on something.

While we're getting advise on glamourous and glittering big cities, has anyone visited Preston at all? I'm out for work drink up action there next Wednesday ( ) evening. I don't want to miss any of the big attractions, so if someone could list them here then that would be great.

The station has frequent services to Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh and London. And Blackpool, but you won't be wanting to go there. What with them not having got the Super Casino and everything. *does mean laugh at Blackpool behind hands*
