Default I wonder what you lot are like in real life

I have met a few scoobynetters over the last couple of years and some are normally and some are definate freaks.

I wonder what the rest of you are like. I reckon there is a good spread of the following.

Chavs
geeks
nerds
hard men on line who wouldnt say boo to a goose in the real world
1 or maybe 2 normal people
family men whose wives wish they would grew up and get off the computer
EX chavs but now with a few quid .... (thats even worse)
As 1-10 or whatever it is are gay there are more than the odd one or two fairys about too

hmmmmmmmmmmmm

the nearest category for me is probably : "family men whose wives wish they would grew up and get off the computer"

I don't subscribe to the keyboard hardman image, most of my scraps in real life won me a silver - I'm aggrophobic

What was the question again

My wife likes me being on the computer as it keeps me out her way and stops me annoying her. If she only realised I feel the same way. Can't think which of the categories fit me - probably different ones at different times.

I'm ex geek. Computer is now there for games and internet, as long as it works I'm happy. Used to be an anorak knowing voltagages and all the acronims. Now I learn enough not to get fleeced.

Now I'm Pub, shooting Pool and Holidays.

A geek is someone who has a strong interest in something and are very knowledgeable about it.

A nerd is someone who has a strong interest of something to the exclusion of everything else and may or may not be knowledgeable about it but they love to talk about it. Social skills are unlikely, spots, pale complexion and still living with parents at 35 are likely.

Yep, the "1 or 2 normal people" category for me!

So... who's the other normal person?

I wonder what you lot are like in real life
The wife bought me the Grumpy Old Men book for Christmas, which describes the condition of a growing number of 35 - 54 year olds.

That'd be me then.

Hello

I probably fit between the "geek" and "family men whose wives wish they would grow up and get off the computer".
