Erm, is everyone smoking crack tonight?

Used to smoke heroin, but I kept melting the syringes.

some would say the tinternet causes more trouble than its worth

It is already clear that the internet allows us to have long-running, mildly entertaining (if otherwise meaningless0 discussions about nothing of any great importance.

It is also a valuable source of information, though you do have to trawl through a lot of junk to find it. Let's not forget that many people come on this site looking for information that might not be easy to find anywhere else.

But the greatest advantage of all is more subtle than that. Years ago, in the pre-internet age, I watched a TV programme that hinted at the future. It suggested that we might some day listen to a politician say something, look it up and then, almost immediately, butt in and say "That's a lie" - on live TV! That day has pretty much arrived. You can, while watching "Question Time", quickly search the internet to check on what some panelist has claimed then e-mail your comment.

What I'm trying to say is that knowledge is power. Our lords and masters (not always elected) are finding it increasingly difficult to prevent the spread of information they would rather not reveal. That's the internet in action.

.... relationships become threatened by so called online relationships associations contact.

Nonsense, I have always cheated, don't need the internet for that. In fact, it saves an awful lot of hassle to tell a bird up front you don't do monogamy.
Is a good pulling line as well, as women like rogues better than nice guys. At least that seems to be the general consensus.

it used to be the pub if you wanted a debate, now the pub is dead and we are all on forums

Don't know what pubs you go to, the only debates I hear in the pub are drunken sods telling you their club is better.

The pub did not die from the internet, but from gordon brown's stupid ideas like taxing beer to hell, and banning smoking.

Remember you're a womble, remember you're a womble .......

Can't believe I actually bought that!

The ex-landlord of my local was a womble, no word of a lie (well so I'm told, it's a small village, and if there's no gossip we just make it up)

Not a real womble you understand.
