How to tell if you are adicted to YD

[Clare Gledhill]

1. You wake up at 3 am to go to the loo and stop to check on new posts on the way back to bed.

2. You turn off your modem and get this awful empty feeling, as if you just pulled the plug on a loved one.

3. You name your children/pets Scuby, Finless and Bogwoppit.

4. You spend half of the train journey with your laptop on your lap...and your child in the overhead compartment.

5. You decide to stay at work a couple of more hours, just for the free Internet access.

6. You start to understand what Finless is going on about

7. You start using smileys in your snail mail and putting :eek : in text messages

8. You know what DIR stands for... but probably disagree with it

9. You don't think spending £650 on a torch is nuts

10. You can't speak to your mother...she doesn't take PMs

11. You check your mail. It says "no new messages." So you check it again.

12. You don't know what gender three of your closest friends are, because
they have neutral screennames and you never bothered to ask.

13. Your buddies live up to 150 miles from you, yet to talk to them everyday and you meet up regularly too

14. You can get really, really worked up about issues with webbing and bolt snaps.

15. After reading this message, you think of something else to add

Hmmm, Bogwopit Passmore has a certain ring to it, now how do I persuade the offspring they want to change their name?

16 You have a love hate relationships with your wireless network so you can carry on messaging with the laptop while watching TV.

17. You're on the computer at 11.30 at night wondering why no one else is on YD - Apart from Mr. T

[Clare Gledhill]

18. You don't think men arguing that threesomes are undesirable is strange

Well maybe you do ... but that's a different story

[MATTBIN]

19. You know Mr T and he's not a tv character.

[Finless]

17. You virtually talk to people you've never met more than you really do to H/SWMBO.
18. You drop a YD Username into a conversation and are puzzled if the other person does not know who you are talking about.
19. I start believing I know what I'm talking about.

21. The missus refers to it as 'that bloody website'

[hopper]

21. A solicitor friend hints to you that you are having an 'inproper relationship' with the site and its 'unreasonable behaviour!'
