heart I thought we were mostly ignoring him and having a meeting of the professional IT workers without penises club.

OP just googled itGrin

CheshireSplat · 12/02/2015 23:10

Derek. Are you really early 20s? I thought you were older...

ThreeQuartersEmpty · 12/02/2015 23:11

But this isn't an Internet Safety Forum. This is one of hundreds of topics that we on Mumsnet are expert in.

Lweji you are right!! I should have paid more attention to the Internet safety talk I gave this week.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 12/02/2015 23:12

The web isn't really the content though is it. The web is the protocol the sits on the infrastructure to allow people to reference the content

Girly giggles

Derek is wise beyond her years.

Shame about the penislessness Sad

Unless she is actually a trucker called Dave….

I think Blacklight would make a fine member of the WI btw.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 12/02/2015 23:14

PD is she not a trucker called Derek?

MoonlightandRoses · 12/02/2015 23:14

explained Grin

We have a BBC b in the garage, somewhere. It's probably full of spiders.

My memories of our Commodore 64 were mostly of waiting half an hour for The Hobbit to load from the tape, then being attacked by the bulbous eyes 5 minutes later and having to start again.

I think he's trying to talk smut, Lweji.

PacificDogwood · 12/02/2015 23:14

Nope, all truckers are called 'Dave'

Glastokitty · 12/02/2015 23:14

I bloosy loved Jet Set Willy! Anyone else play Attic Attack? I got 100% on it preens. And what about The Hobbit, I was stuck in that fucking dungeon for months! Grin

MoonlightandRoses · 12/02/2015 23:14

That should be "celery explained" sorry, not the UBD.

MistressMerryWeather · 12/02/2015 23:15

Giddy, that was poetic.

Beautifully put.

I'm helping my DC with a raspberry pi this weekend. I'm really looking forward to it.

usualsuspect333 · 12/02/2015 23:15

The first time I went on the internet and logged into a AOL chat to see what all the fuss was about some perv asked me if I was wearing tights.

Some things never change.

GiddyOnZackHunt · 12/02/2015 23:16

Right PD. I'll never believe a word Derek says if I can't even trust his 'handle'. I'm shocked.

Quiero · 12/02/2015 23:16

I didn't even know we had an internet safety topic. I feel safer already.

The first time I heard about this new-fangled thing called 'e-mail' I thought 'That'll never catch on' Grin

I gather it did. Ah, well.

PacificDogwood · 12/02/2015 23:18

The Nerds shall inherit the earth btw. Thanks

PacificDogwood · 12/02/2015 23:19

Them, and the Geeks (never really understood the difference there)
