 Jun 18, 20:35: Karen> So tell us the truth - who's really doing the typing Vince?

 Jun 18, 20:42: adrian> BS=big statement ... KOTC= kiss on the cheek ... FOTFLMAO = falling on the floor laughing my ass off
 Jun 18, 20:42: Vince> So Karen are you saying you are going to be sitting on this computer for the next two weeks?
 Jun 18, 20:43: Karen> Definitely! Even when I don't have to be here - I hate thinking I'm missing out on some good chatting!!
 Jun 18, 20:43: Vince> Have we??
 Jun 18, 20:43: Karen> BS could mean something else too Adrian...

 Jun 18, 20:49: Vince> OK Adrian - nice chatting with you we'll catchya at Iga Warta
 Jun 18, 20:49: annie> I just asked my three year old what he would like to say on the chat room - he said he wants to hear the 'singer man' - he means Arthur Coulthard - so I'll switch back to connectingthecontinent.com and play the song for him before he goes to bed - Byeee!
