What's that dear???? Speak up, why don't you

I'm 34, a big fat NO and I've been on mumsnet for 3 years.

Gwenick · 09/03/2005 14:58

That's a good point Tamum - and also with number of years 'online' and number of different chat rooms used in the past.

I just worked out - I've been using the internet since 1994 - so 11yrs - and I'm not quite 26!!!

SeaShells · 09/03/2005 14:58

I think you are spot on there tamum!

I've not been here long and I say give it a try!

Gwenick · 09/03/2005 14:59

oh and I've been on MN (actively) since December last year - but a member MUCH longer.

katierocket · 09/03/2005 15:00

I'm a no
33
number of years online (although not sure how relevant) 10
number of chat rooms visited (more than once) 5 - all sh*te

katierocket · 09/03/2005 15:00

oh and member of MN 4 years

Gwenick · 09/03/2005 15:01

ooo if we're adding how many chatroom viisted more than once - give me a few days to work out it - think 'roughly' 30-40 - only a small percentage of those sh*te - and they were the 'open to absolutely anyone' general type chat rooms.

beetroot - shouldn't you have your mother's permission to be on here?

fastasleep · 09/03/2005 15:07

Beety? You're 5! Wow.

Really don't care anymore, you're going to bitch at each other anyway! Age 17, years online 7, chatrooms been to - millions of course I was a little teenager! Some were good, some were bad, some were full of perverts.

Anteater · 09/03/2005 15:08

No 41(just)

TheVillageIdiot · 09/03/2005 15:08

Couldn't care less

By the Village Idiot aged 26 and a half

read to the soothing music of 'The Gallery' ala Take Hart

ks - I am 26!!!

Oh how I longed to see my picture.

On reflection I think my mum mught have lied about posting them! I've always been rubbish at art, in retrospect I think she was protecting me from seeing my own inadequacies displayed on a piece of felt covered MDF for the nations pre-teens to see. No amount of soothing music could make my drawing look good

Tinker · 09/03/2005 15:26

tamum - was going to ask that but wondered if it was a bit cliquey

Marina · 09/03/2005 15:33

I'm big and fat all around, BF No, BF 41 and BF Mumsnetter for four years now. Intriguing trends emerging here!

I really want to start singing "Don't go changing ......"

Twiglett · 09/03/2005 15:35

NO .. been on MN for 2 years (ish I think)

bundle · 09/03/2005 15:36

no
39
mn: nearly as long as marina

tamum · 09/03/2005 15:37

OMG Tinker you're right I've been cliquey

I'm a no, 44 (oh my god how did that happen), MN for two and a bit years, online since the late eighties (bet that's not relevant), looked at a few chatrooms but didn't find anything worth reading.

Sponge · 09/03/2005 15:37

41 and never been to a chat room except this one.
Is that the question?
