I was reading an article the other day and there was a throwaway comment in it towards the end to the effect that chatroom dialogue was like " being stuck in a bad Beckett play " An accusation which, on occasion I'd have difficulty repudiating.

So, it got me thinking about some of the howlers i've encountered whilst trawling the chat depths. Do any of you have a favourite ?........

I'm in a chatroom one day and i'm PM'ed by some bloke, we get chatting about the relative crapness of our respective marriages.It's a very dull conversation, no spark at all. The life force is draining out of me. Anyway, he asks

" Why do you stay ? " by this time i really can't be arsed going into the complexities of what anchors me there, so i retreat into being flip. Just giving him a one word answer, i type

" Inertia "......... I kid you not dear reader, at this point he replies with not a trace of irony...

" Oh thats a lovely name, how old is your daughter ? "

I logged out.

Inertia..........tis a lovely name.
I was in Waitrose in Cheshire and I swear I heard one of the Cheshire set Mothers, driver of a Chelsea Tractor, call her daughter Chlamydia.
It does sound like a posh girl's name.
Why do people with no accent insist on talking loud enough for everyone to hear? Its them upper middle class buggers. The one's with private healthcare and sending their kids to public school whilst claiming to be socialists because they can afford to be.
I digress.
Classic chat comments:
"I set the profile up when I was a couple but she's gone so it's just me now"
"I'm not racist. I work with a black guy and we get on great"
"I'm not bi but I will suck cock" (the 'lengths' some people go to - pun intended)

Grinning here @ "I set the profile up when I was a couple but she's gone so it's just me now" ...I wish i had a quid for every one of those i've chatted to, Don.
