No hopping blue rabbits.

Hy mys, cheap phone calls. I can never believe the differences between Greece and Italy. Here we have, suprise, the most expensive call charges in Europe, and the cost is so prohibitive I never ring abroad. My only calls are local. JB also had free calls from the UK at the weekends. I did realise she wasn't actually a rabbit but the first time she called was a bit odd as she didn't know what to say, but of course now we can chat away for ages.

Cheek of it indeed jb, you know I was on the coffee when you rang earlier and you didn't wake me up.

i have spoken to two mylot people over the phone - and a very disturbing experience it was too. oh hi thea - you coffeed up enough to be human yet?

Hi voldrox, there's probably lots of pm's tooing and froeing between mylotters before numbers are exchanged, one wouldn't just give that kind of thing out to anyone as who knows what could be on the other end of a username, but I have the safety of being in a remote location whereas some mylotters actually live in the same house. Would the blue rabbit lift up your call my dear, I fear not. Although your remarks about her looking like a man in her photograph were deleted she did read them first and was insulted as I'm sure you would have been too if someone said your photograph looked like a man. Hence the lack of a photograph of a the rabbit these days.

hello thea and someone who apparently thinks they are a monster from a child's fairy story (fee fai fo fumm indeed). well actually the photo came down for other reasons, i'm not quite that sensitive especially when it comes to characters from children's stories. perhaps you could be the witch from hansel and gretel next? cos i have a really big oven...

think there is a possibility that both i and thea mixed up the responder here with somebody else. comments about fairytale characters of course still stand...

A fellow Aussie couple and my hubby and I have met in each other's homes a few times. A mutual internet friend and her husband will be coming from Canada and the six of us will enjoy some fun times together in January.

Hi cloudwater, well the moment I posted this the blue rabbit hopped back out of nowhere and is sitting above your head as we speak. Now you've got me curious about who is talking to whom and I'm thinking through the Australian contingent to see who you could be meeting, but won't speculate as for all I know you could well be taking a trip back to the UK.

RL=Real Life,although Lager may or may not have been involved in the proceedings!It was a little odd at first that people You'd never seen before had no barriers when meeting for (mostly) the first time..I was quite new to this group at the time,but had "chatted" online with the others-(it was an IRC group with an Ireland theme)..so some had already encountered others before.It was an enjoyable experience..

Hi ShepherdSpy, you know it doesn't matter how many times I type your user name I always have to stop myself from typing ShepherdSam. Strange. I am making a stab in the dark here that the RL is possibly real lager. The odd thing about your meeting would probably be thinking someone was someone else so that although you all know each other online the faces may not have matched the images.

Hi sid, well the only time I've seen two blue bunnies around here is when Lamby was playing around and borrowed the avatar for a while. He did that with mine too and a few others, it all looks rather strange when he gives them back afterwards as the resultant comments read completely out of context. But yes it was the bunny you threatend to fry and she was actually hopping around again last night as soon as I put this up.

I think you're right and years ago when my uncle lived over that way, somewhere in England (is it still called that?) there was an awful echo in the phone. Oh and a bad delay, it was little two tin cans with a very long piece of string

Zeph I didn't know the rabbit was going to hop back honest, she said probably Monday on the phone.Still things are so much more sane with the bunny back.

you could call me but i think transpuddle calls are expensive

Hi scarlet woman, yes the bunny was feeling the loss of hers last week. We are in early storm weather over here and it's always difficult deciding to unplug everything or leave it to chance. It generally hits just the telephone line first but once some lighening blue up the motherboard.

the funny thing was,this incidence it hit the fence,not even the house and it still damaged a bunch of stuff.i think it traveled down an antenna lead that was on the fence at the time backwards. am i ever glad it didn't actually hit the house!

I don't have a company phone, too bad.. But I'm very liking the idea of a chatroom like D mentioned... can2x..when this takes place ever, do keep me in the loop aite, Alice..

So I guess we shall be seeing one another here pretty often then, Thea/Alice.. ...

Definitely. Now what is this meant to mean?

Hi snugglebunnies, it's worth getting the email address of a friend on here incase you find yourself locked out with no way back in, just to reassure yourself you haven't been banned.

Normal is relative as she probably said about me also. Yeah I had a good experience...

Over brownies no doubt

Hi she's back, came back about a minute after I posted this so I needn't have bothered. So you've actually met one in person, I'm guessing they turned out to be pretty normal then.

It would be fun cynthiann, roll on free phone calls for all.

I think she would tell the two of us if she was off to distant shores Sunny. The quiet type on the phone, who would have guessed. Most men are, women are much better with telephones.

'women are much better with telephones.'....true indeed....

Hi malamar, probably with the time difference I expect. Must so pretty unusual for a computer repair place to say Monday and finish with it earlier, here if they say Monday they neglect to mention which month, which is rather why I'd rather suffer on with blips on mine that part with it to the computer hospital, where they only know 2 phrases, either we'll have to send it to Athens or it needs a new hard drive. PM's are a good start, and so much more convenient than emails too.

the repair shop is just round the corner - they said 2 or 3 days but i suspected sooner since they clearly had about 2 other laptops to do and looked bored. so went round yesterday and surprisingly enough it was done. they hadn't bothered phoning me though.

Woah!! Blue Rabbit shows up again! How the heck do you do that???? Wish I was a blue bunny, you are magical to me! But, then again, duh.... I still haven't figured out how to get past the time differences here. Can't do those time changes to save my life, just cannot do it!

hi

Hi wlee, I really had no idea that was going to happen but the hospital have released the offending machine early. I know what you mean about the contact information but I suppose the rabbit and I do spend a lot of time pm,ing and it just came up in the middle of a pm that we could actually chat for real as she had free weekend calls. Also we are in different countries which lessens the dangers of one of turning out to be an axe wielder or some such. My son hasn't made contact with anyone yet on the internet and I do keep an eye on what he does on there. It would be handy if he could learn to type in English though as he doesn't spend as much time writing and spelling English as he should as all his lessons are written in Greek, except for English of course.

Hi Gerty, if you look above you'll see the rabbit came back about two minutes after I posted this, dramatic timing or what. She did say Monday this afternoon, good thing I said nice things. So you've met a fellow mylotter. Must have been fun. I think the nearest one to me must be Sandra in Spain, except she's on her way back to the UK now in the camper van. You forgot to mention the other mylotter you meet but then I suspect you didn't include him as knew him before mylot

Hi Shirley, now why did I think you and Jo would have gotten on so well, that must have been nice. You think in this day and age they could put the telephone charges down rather than up. It shows the disparity though when those in the UK and ITaly can make free calls whilst some of us would need a bank loan to pick up the receiver to call abroad.

Hi lina, well as most of my phone calls are from greek speakers I find it rather of a strain as without the eye contact and hand waving it can be difficult to understand, plus they speed up when on the phone. It's a nice change if I actually get to have a chat on the phone in English and the line was clearer than Mr Greek ringing from the mobile. Wacky is indeed the norm round here but I'm sure there are plenty of unwacky ones out there, you just got picked up by the wacky ones.
