Abso-fookin-lutely

Why else do I have a friggin phone bill for 300 quid because I had to use a dial up connection?!

Answer 5

I suffer from it, yes, but it's not because of the Internet. It's because I use the Internet to talk to someone that I can't live without.

Answer 6

I was suffering from that for 3 months earlier this year. Thankfully I'm over it now though.

Answer 7

I was an addict the mother board died and I went through total withdrawal symptoms. It's good it happened I learned a lot from that experience. I can actually not turn the computer on now.. but I like it anyways it keeps me company and I don't have to feed it.  I don't do the computer when I am away on vacation but I don't miss it either.

Answer 8

yes afraid so, i used to think the internet was the devil and i still do to a point but since going to college and doing IT and learning how much fun it could be i now love it, i hate the weekends when mr dolly is home because i cant get on much and it makes me bad tempered. i dont know what i'd do without my computer now so much so that in fact i bought another one just as a spare incase the main one breaks, how sad is that ?  lololol

Answer 9

I dragged my feet over getting ' connected' because I knew I would be a nightmare.

I suffer from acute nosiness as it is so I knew the Internet would just feed my habit!
