    Mine's free

    I pay £23 ( aprox $15 ) for unlimited 1 meg ADSL connection. There are a couple of companies offering free broadband here, but I don't trust them. I just don't believe i'll get as good a service with them as I do with the ISP that I'm with. It has the best customer serivce of any company I have...

    Night time reading: Can you do it? Do you do it?

    I think the night and the very early dawn are great times to read because of the peace and quiet, and they are good times to read because those moments seem more magical. When you read in the heart of the night or the birth of the dawn then anything magical seems so much more possible. Of...

    Question Game

    No, have you? Wouldn't it be wonderful. I think I am going to add it to my list of things to do in life :-) What are you having for dinner today? I'm having sweetcorn chowder and fresh baked bread.

    Home pages

    Just curious... What do you have as your home page on your browser set to? Mine used to be Google, but now it's Wikipedia I really like the new articles you get every day, and plus if I want information I turn to Wikipedia where once I would have turned to Google for information. Of course...

    Cancel. The. Account.

    Funny. I have heard AOL are like this. My GF recently wanted to cancle her AOL account and it wasn't to dissimilar! The rep tried EVERYTHING to get her not to cancle. Finally they offered 1 free month then 2.99 a month to keep AOL as just a mail box... pretty desperate! :eek: I think she was on...

    Lovely and abandoned words

    I subscribe to that too. It's very interesting. I especially like to know the roots and evolution of words. Great word! I might have to start using it. Quite a few archaic and abandoned words litter my speach because they started out as a joke... Well, because I have an odd sense of...

    Lovely and abandoned words

    Really? I'm incredulous :p I only ever come across it in Victorian or Victorian period literature. Glad to hear that people are using it. As I said, it's a great word. Ah, Olde English has many great words! My absolute favourite is "vexed" but I also like "moxie". Damn! You have had me...

    Reading with noise

    I prefer silence when I am reading. I can read when there is noice, but I find it distracting. Somtimes when I am reading; however, I like to have a little bit of soft music to go along with it.

    Lovely and abandoned words

    While reading a book, I sometimes happily stumble across a wonderful word, or come across a turn of phrase that was once popular, and now is abandoned in regular usage! The word I came across recently is "incredulity." I love it! What a wondeful word! I think that Victorian era fiction...

    I Am upset; and I Am Sure You Are too

    Thread closed EyezOnme, this thread is now closed ( pending review it may open again ) because it's going nowhere and disolved into a slanging match. This kind of behaviour is not acceptable on this forum. Please do not swear and insult other members.

    I Am upset; and I Am Sure You Are too

    eyez0nme, will you please refrain from posts filled with profanity. It's nothing to do with hypocrisy. This is a PG-13 forum and PG-13 movies certainly do not contain liberal useage of swear words and certainly not the F word which offends many people of all ages. You can get your ideas across...
